Three French Women in the 2026 PWI 250 Rankings

November 12, 2026

The 2026 PWI 250 has been released. It is the ranking of the world’s top 250 female wrestlers of the year.

The top 10 is available at this link with Stephanie Vaquer crowned as the Wrestler of the Year, but what about it on a local level?

This year, it features three French female wrestlers within the 2026 PWI 250, listing as follows:

– Mila Smidt: 110th (121st in 2025)

– Cory Zero: 156th (entry into the ranking)

– JGU: 160th (entry into the ranking)

Names making their mark and others dropping out. We think of Amale, Calypso, or Lauriana who had their spots in 2025. Sometimes only a few matches or victories can change everything within a year.

Mila Smidt climbed a few places after defeating Mercedes Moné to capture the EWA championship and taking part in the Marigold Dream Star Grand Prix in Japan.

Cory Zero, a tag team champion in EVE, has also held titles in Ireland and with wXw. These victories helped her enter the rankings. JGU also makes her entry as she stood out in France and Europe this year.

Congratulations to them!
