WWE Victoria


WWE Victoria

Victoria Stats
From: San Bernardino, Calif.
Signature Move: Widow's Peak
Career Highlights: Women's Champion
Associates: Natalya

Armed with one of the most devastating finishing maneuvers in all of professional wrestling, the Widow's Peak, Victoria is

one of the most vicious Divas in WWE history. Don't let her impeccable good looks fool you. She may be one of the hottest

Divas around, but the vicious vixen's beauty is only matched by a mean streak that has helped drive her to two Women's

Championships.

Victoria has also been a pioneer in the Women's Division. At WrestleMania XX she defeated Molly Holly in the first-ever

Women's Division Hair vs. Championship Match. After defeating Holly to retain her gold, Victoria humiliated Molly in front of

a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden by shaving her head.

Outside of the ring, Victoria has been involved in various programs,speaking on behalf of WWE's Smackdown! Your Vote program,

encouraging the youth of America to exercise their right to vote. While Victoria has always stressed the importance of

children to be physically active, she believes it is also imperative to get a good education. Victoria studied biology at

several colleges: Riverside Community, Loma Linda University and UCLA. She worked at the Inland Eye and Tissue Bank in

Redlands, Calif., for three years.

Victoria has also shown over the years that she feels that success should only come from hard work. She's a strong believer

that nothing should be handed to you in life.

"I want little girls to look at me as, yeah, I'm a T-and-A, but I can freakin' kick your a**, too. And I have some smarts

behind me," she once said. "So I'm a well-rounded individual. I want little girls to look up to me and say, You know what? I could do that,' and believe in themselves."

Tiffany Stats
Height: 5 foot 6
Weight: 125 pounds

In 2008, the beautiful and dynamic Tiffany became the personal assistant to ECW General Manager Theodore Long. Though the

day-to-day tasks of helping to run ECW can be overwhelming for anyone, the young executive is extremely determined to utilize

all of her abilities in order to make her presence known in WWE.

Tiffany’s experience in business and marketing has definitely given her the know-how to thrive in the Land of the Extreme.

Her New Orleans upbringing has also given her a capability to maintain relationships with a variety of different

personalities, a skill which should prove effective as she works side-by-side with the Extreme Superstars of ECW.

Even in the short time she has been a part of WWE, Tiffany’s talents have made a crucial impression. Her council has been

invaluable to Long, as she effectively offers input and advice on all matters that impact the show.

Overall, her classy professionalism and quick wit exude the precise image that the General Manager wishes to maintain during

his reign on ECW.

Before joining the Land of the Extreme, Tiffany was heavily involved in scholastic athletics. She was a competitive power

lifter and cheerleader. She started her high school's first female power lifting team, which placed third in the state finals during its inaugural year.

WWE Nikki Bella


WWE Nikki Bella

Nikki Bella Stats
Height: 5 foot 6
Weight: 125 pounds
Associates: Brie Bella
WWE Debut: Nov. 2008

A self-admitted “tom boy” with a girlie side, Nikki – a former model, actress, and soccer star – followed her twin sister

Brie’s lead in coming to WWE. Although the knockout pair did not get chosen in the 2006 WWE Raw Diva Search, they did not

give up on their dream of becoming WWE Divas.

After being motivated by the career of Dusty Rhodes, combined with months of hard training in FCW, Nikki’s dream became a

reality in 2008 and is now turning heads along with Brie on Friday nights.

But, Nikki wants the WWE Universe to know that she is not just a pretty face. She has trained very hard and wants to be

judged for her moves in the ring. Our TV sets are now glued to MyNetwork TV!

WWE Natalya


WWE Natalya

Natalya Stats
Associates: Victoria
WWE Debut: April 4, 2008
Trained By: The "Hart" Dungeon

Natalya may be Victoria’s new best friend on SmackDown, but make no mistake about it, this third generation Diva is all business in the ring.

The daughter of former Superstar Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, Natalya realizes that competing in WWE is a gift – one she plans on utilizing to its fullest extent. And being trained in the legendary Hart family “Dungeon” alongside a few famous family members doesn’t hurt either. Natalya, however, doesn’t want to be judged by the accolades of those before her.

“Being a third generation Diva is actually history in the making, but my family didn’t make me who I am today. Don’t compare me to my dad, my uncles, or my grandfather. Everything I’ve earned is on my own. I am the only Diva who’s blazing her own trail,” she said.

And Natalya plans on blazing that trail on Friday Night SmackDown, as evident by her friendship with Victoria and her attack on Divas Michelle McCool & Cherry. Will the very first third generation Diva continue the legacy laid before her? She thinks so.

“The other Divas may say that I’m cocky and arrogant, but I’m not. I am confident in my abilities. I’ve done my homework and am ready to spread my wings. I’m proud of what my family has accomplished, but I’m the first Diva of the Hart family to step in the squared circle and defend ‘The Dungeon’ and what my grandfather taught. I dare any Diva to step one foot in the ring with me.”

WWE Mickie James


WWE Mickie James

Mickie James Stats
From: Richmond, Va.
Signature Move: Implant DDT
Career Highlights: Women's Champion
WWE Debut: 2005

When asked to describe Mickie James in three words, the trio of smart, beautiful and talented quickly comes to mind.

An honors student who played the violin as a child, it was ironically a failed Trigonometry class in high school that sent Mickie into the wrestling world instead of college. Of course, being the diligent woman that she is, Mickie did go on to get her college education, earning an associate’s degree in business administration and working on her bachelor’s all while traveling the world as a WWE Diva.

Still, it was a long road from childhood dream to World Champion. After training in Virginia, Mickie worked the independent circuit for several years, learning everything she could from such Legends as Ricky Steamboat, Ricky Morton and Bobby Eaton along the way. Finally, after nearly a decade of paying her dues, Mickie made it to WWE, where she has stepped into the ring both with and against long-time idols like Trish Stratus on the way to becoming a multiple-time Women’s Champion.

There is one thing Mickie likes almost as much as being a WWE Diva, however: horses. Mickie has ridden since age 11, when her grandmother bought her a horse named Rhapsody. She spent hours on her grandmother’s farm with Rhapsody and her other horses even to this day, and when her days of being a Diva wind down, she holds aspirations to own a farm and become an equine trainer.

Fortunately for our fans, that goal is far ahead in the distance…as long as Mickie has something to say about it, anyway.

“I’m so glad that my path led me to where I am today, because I can’t imagine doing anything else,” Mickie has said in the past.

And as long as she can continue to make her dreams come true, there’s no doubt that she can become one of the most recognized and decorated Divas in WWE history.

WWE Michelle McCool


WWE Michelle McCool

Michelle McCool Stats
Height: 5 foot 10
From: Palatka, Fla.
Career Highlights: First-ever Divas Champion, winner of the 2008 SmackDown Top Diva Competition and the custom Beverly Hills

Chopper, finalist in the 2004 WWE Diva Search
Associates: Chuck Palumbo
WWE Debut: 2004

Our fans first saw Michelle McCool during 2004’s Diva Search. Seeing a mix of beauty and love for WWE, she was brought to

SmackDown. But there’s so much more behind the beautiful face; there is strength, determination and inspiration.

Before coming to SmackDown, Michelle was a teacher in Florida — but her love for the business started well before that. Both

her pappap (grandfather) and dad loved WWE, and brought Michelle along to a live event when she was 6. A little of the

“American Dream” Dusty Rhodes later, she was hooked.

With her motto “Faith to fight the good fight, heart to believe and soul to search within,” McCool continues to inspire our fans with her words and strength.

WWE Melina


WWE Melina

Melina Stats
From: Los Angeles
WWE Debut: April 2005

With her signature ring entrance of a sexy split, Melina began her career as a fashion model.

But the wrestling bug bit the Los Angeles native in 2000, when she began training at the School of Hard Knocks in San

Bernardino, Calif. She continued to work various wrestling shows, honing her in-ring abilities. In January 2002, Tom Prichard

took notice of Melina, where she would work out with WWE while they were on the West Coast--sometimes driving 14 hours.

Her dream was finally realized in 2003, when WWE signed her in San Diego. Two Women's Championship reigns later, Melina is

still a force to be reckoned with in the women's division. She credits the experience of training hard with both men and

women for making her tougher and stronger. You simply must take the hits and keep on going.

"I was always told I was too short, too fat, too small, too ugly or not good enough. People would tell me every negative

comment under the moon, and that I would never make it," Melina wrote in her WWE.com exclusive blog. "I kept going. I knew in

my heart that I could make it, and that I was meant for this. My love for wrestling and my determination got me through all the crap I had to endure."
