OutSports has named their top 200 LGBTQ wrestlers of 2025 with Toni Storm, EFFY, Mike Bailey and more ranking in the top 10. The queer sports outlet announced its Queer Wrestling Index (QWI) 200 over the past week, with the top 20 being revealed on Monday.

The outlet described the list as follows:

This week-long Queer Wrestling Index 200 reveal period for 2025, full of gay, lesbian, bi, trans and queer wrestlers, reminds us of the connection we have to one another, whether we’re gathered around a ring, wrestling in one or out in the world experiencing the hardships the day throws at us, we have these threads that still bind us through a thing we love.

That is why this list continues to exist. Because our ranks grow larger every single year, up to over 800 in 2025. Because we’re done having our joy robbed from us. Because we fight, drawing inspiration and strength from this neverending dance of blood, emotion, pain and glory.

EFFY topped the list, followed by Storm, VENY, DARK Sheik, and Charli Evans in the top five. You can see the full top 20 below, and the complete 200 at the above link.
