Divas have been the centerpiece of WWE for decades and we’ve seen many of the wrestling industry’s most beautiful ladies come and go. We’ve put together a list of some of the most notable, memorable and downright beautiful WWE Divas of all time.
Not anyone can make it as a Diva in the WWE and often controversially, only the most beautiful ladies are chosen. Divas have often made their way in the WWE Smackdown game series, making them some of the more provocative and sexier games out there for you to play.
From the proclaimed 8th wonder of the world, Chyna to the daughter of legendary Rick Flair, read on to find out who we’ve coined worthy of a spot in our top 10 Divas of all time, in sports entertainment.
10. Gail Kim
It’s never always been the easiest ride for Gail Kim, but something tells us that’s exactly how she wants things to be.
Whenever she was given the chance to show her personality, Kim gave fans and media members alike a real insight into what it means to be one of the best. When she stepped into the squared circle and wrestled some of the best in the world, she took her game to a whole other level.
Her work in WWE was okay but it was in TNA that she helped to nurture and grow the Knockouts Division, with a special shoutout going to Awesome Kong.
9. Wendi Richter
She’s more of an old classic as opposed to someone that the new era knows and there’s nothing wrong with that. She was great in the NWA, she was great in the WWF, and she’s a multi-time champion that belongs in every single Hall of Fame under the sun.
The Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Connection was also the definition of an iconic storyline, and despite the controversial end to her relationship with Vince McMahon, we’d argue that she was the one who came out the other side with her dignity intact.
Richter deserves the right to be remembered as a legend in this business.
8. Beth Phoenix
When Beth Phoenix was in her prime she was easily one of the best women’s wrestlers of her generation, and then when she came back, it was clear to see that she hadn’t lost a step.
Beth’s physique alone confirmed why she was often known as The Glamazon, and there’s still an argument to be made that she could easily come back and run the women’s division on either Raw or SmackDown.
Some will say that Natalya should be in this list, but Neidhart never really seemed to possess the kind of personality or character that Beth did back in the day.
7. Chyna
Forget about the controversies and forget about the past, because Chyna was an absolute force of nature.
She made it clear to just about every young girl on the planet who liked wrestling that it didn’t matter what size you were or what physique you had because you could become a star no matter what.
That was clear when she won the Intercontinental Championship, it was clear when she beat the hell out of most men on the main roster, and it was still clear even when she sadly passed away – and her legacy will live on for many years to come.
6. Mickie James
If you want to talk about an underrated talent, then there’s no better place to start than Mickie James.
Fans of TNA and WWE have both been able to get a great look at what James is capable of, whether it be from her stalker angle with Trish Stratus or her actual matches.
Longevity is one of the most difficult things to acquire in an industry like this, and yet Mickie just seems to make it all look so easy. She takes her character, whatever it may be, and transforms it into something entirely different – winning championships and accolades along the way.
5. Lita
An entire era of female fans knows and appreciate Lita for what she was able to accomplish in WWE.
Some folks enjoyed her time alongside Essa Rios, but members of the WWE Universe did start to take her seriously after she partnered up with The Hardy Boyz.
It gave her the freedom to show off her athletic side, and on the mic, she was far better than most give her credit for.
She went on to main event an episode of Raw with rival Trish Stratus, and even though the ‘diva’ tag stuck with the women’s division for far longer than it should’ve, Lita set the wheels in motion for real change.
4. Alundra Blayze
You don’t put the WWF Women’s Championship into a trash can on WCW programming without having some serious stones.
Alundra Blayze, also known as Medusa, constantly tried to strive for greatness regardless of which promotion she was competing for. She was the definition of a wrestler before her time in the ring as the things she could do would still blow away most fans to this day.
Bull Nakano deserves to be viewed in the same light after their many epic confrontations with one another, but really, it’s just about fans going back and educating themselves.
3. The Fabulous Moolah
Moolah held championships for so long that it’s almost hard to believe some of her reigns weren’t just a typo.
Before many of us were even born, she was playing the role of a trailblazer in women’s wrestling. We know and understand the issues that have popped up ever since her death, and we do think that needs to have some kind of impact on how we view her within the context of the history books.
Still, the in-ring work needs to hold some value in our mind, even if nobody really wants to even acknowledge her existence these days – and rightfully so.
2. Charlotte Flair
She started her career as Ric Flair’s daughter but as the years have gone on, she has been able to blossom into the kind of superstar that can stand on her own two feet.
Ric’s iconic career is great and all, but Charlotte is the full package. The reason she is often pushed so hard is simple: she’s one of the best to ever lace up a pair of boots.
Even though she pops up pretty regularly on a week to week basis, she still makes every match and segment that she’s in feel special.
1. Trish Stratus
Everyone is going to have their own view when it comes to who the number one really is, but Trish Stratus’ CV speaks for itself.
The seven-time holder of the Women’s Championship is also a WWE Hall of Fame inductee, and as recently as SummerSlam 2019 she proved that she still had what it took to mix it up with the best of the best when she took on Charlotte Flair.
Stratus was a wonderful babyface that lit up Canadian hearts and the hearts of those around the globe, but a true professional can also run riot as the best heel in the division – and that’s what she did.
