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

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

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."

WWE Maryse

From: Montreal
Career Highlights: Participant in the 2006 Diva Search, appeared in Playboy
WWE Debut: 2006 Diva Search

Maryse, a finalist in the 2006 edition of the Diva Search competition has recently joined the SmackDown roster as one of the

Sexiest Women on Television.

A native of the Great White North, Maryse boasts an impressive resume that includes an appearance in Playboy.

Maryse continues to light up Friday nights. Most recently, the stunning blonde has be seen in the company of Deuce & Domino,

after coldly stealing them away from Cherry. She prides herself on being a fashion snob and enjoys belittling people any chance she gets.

WWE Diva Maria

WWE Diva Maria

Maria Stats
Height: 5'7
From: Chicago
Career Highlights: Competed in the 2004 Raw Diva Search, Raw backstage interviewer, hosts WWE Kiss Cam, featured every month

in WWE Magazine
WWE Debut: 2004

She’s bubbly, she’s beautiful and she’s an object of desire for many men. She’s Maria, and she’s darn proud to call herself a

WWE Diva. While many may think she’s ditzy or absent-minded, there’s one thing that’s well-known: she’s hot.

But hey, she wouldn’t have it any other way. Maria has won many beauty pageants in her time, but she’s not just all beauty.

From kickboxing to sewing to dancing to working on cars, Maria’s areas of expertise make her one of the best-rounded Divas in

WWE.

After years of entering beauty pageants and an education at Northern Illinois University, the Ottawa, Ill., native struck it

big by nearly making it to the end of the 2004 Diva Search. While she didn’t win, our fans felt an immediate connection to

her, and she quickly made her way to Raw as a backstage interviewer who wasn’t afraid to ask any question, from the

hard-hitting to the quirkily obvious. And of course, she looks great doing it, perhaps no more so than when Eugene doused her

with chocolate milk after winning the World Tag Team Championship that year.

Since her debut in WWE, however, Maria’s role has expanded by leaps and bounds. At first, she was tentative to step into the

ring, but to this day she continues to learn the ropes and develop into an exciting and skilled performer. She also can be

seen (or read, as it may be) lending her auto expertise to our fans in her very own WWE Magazine column every month. Another

magazine our fans might be interested in perusing is the April 2008 issue of Playboy, in which Maria showed our fans what's

under her hood, namely a racy chassis and va-va-voom curves.

If there’s one other thing for sure about Maria, though, it’s that while she radiates beauty, the girl her friends call

“Boop” won’t stop honing her craft until she wears the Women’s gold around her waist. So watch out all you stars and studs in

the locker room, because you never know when you’re going to get your dose of Maria.

WWE Lilian Garcia

WWE Lilian Garcia

Lilian Garcia Stats
From: New York City
Career Highlights: Monday Night Raw ring announcer

As the ring announcer on Raw, Lilian Garcia has performed the National Anthem at hundreds of WWE, NBA, New York Jets games

and other sporting events.

Garcia has been singing since she was a small child in Madrid, Spain. In her early teens -- by then Garcia's family had

relocated to Columbia, S.C. -- she was singing with a band at clubs around the area; her mom chaperoned so she could get in.

Garcia went on to graduate cum laude from the University of South Carolina.

Lilian has made WWE history by becoming the first female to announce WrestleMania, at WrestleMania 22. In November 2001, she

sang on WWE's float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Garcia's first single, "Shout," released in 2002, became a hit. Garcia's Spanish language debut album ¡Quiero Vivir! was

released in October 2007, which includes 12 tracks and two duets--one featuring Latin recording artist Jon Secada.

WWE Diva Layla

WWE Diva Layla

Layla Stats
From: Miami
Career Highlights: Winner of the 2006 $250,000 Diva Search

Layla, the winner of the 2006 $250,000 Diva Search, was born in London and lives in Miami. Before becoming a spunky SmackDown

Diva, she was a dancer for NBA basketball team Miami Heat, and performed with Kanye West during the MTV Video Music Awards.

During the Diva Search contest, Layla won immunity at Sgt. Slaughter’s Diva Boot Camp obstacle course and she wowed the crowd

with her dance moves to clinch the Diva Search Talent Show. SummerSlam 2006 marked her first appearance as a WWE Diva, when

she was initiated by the other Divas by a playful, wet spank-fest in the locker room showers.

Layla took her hot dance steps to ECW where she dropped the jaws of our fans in Extreme Exposé, alongside Kelly Kelly. The

Diva dance troop, however, disbanded and met frequently as rivals in the Land of the Extreme until Layla's move to Monday

Night Raw with the 2008 Supplemental Draft on WWE.com.

Now, Layla is intent on furthering her in-ring career and improving on her overall presence as a WWE Diva.

WWE Kelly Kelly

From: Jacksonville, Fla.
Career Highlights: "Kelly's Exposé" on ECW on Sci Fi
Entrance Video: WATCH

When she debuted on June 13, 2006, Kelly Kelly became the youngest Diva in all of WWE. A self-proclaimed exhibitionist, she

put on shows dubbed “Kelly Kelly’s Exposé” for our fans and won several body competitions.

After an ugly break-up with Mike Knox, Kelly clinged to a pair of equally spicy Divas, including Layla. The trio billed

themselves as Extreme Exposé, though they would go their separate ways when The Miz, who owned the Divas' contracts, promised

to make Kelly's life a living hell if she dated Balls Mahoney. Ignoring the Superstars' warnings, the blonde suffered the

consequences, though she has proven herself in the ring while fending off any attacks from The Miz, Layla or anybody else.

WWE Katie Lea Burchill

WWE Katie Lea Burchill

Katie Lea Burchill Stats
From: Chelsea, England
Associates: Paul Burchill (brother)
WWE Debut: Feb. 11, 2008

Katie Lea Burchill seems to be a woman who knows what she wants. Most importantly, Katie Lea likes to get what she wants –

and her “most brutal, most vicious, most beautiful” (her words, not ours) brother, Paul, loves to make her happy.

Hailing from Chelsea, England, Katie Lea knows how to command attention. From the way she eases her way under the bottom rope

into the ring to the way she cradles a microphone, she oozes sensuality. Her eyes pierce the soul. And Katie Lea knows that

she and her brother make an attractive pair; she’ll tell you herself that they are a product of “good genes.”

But what else does Katie Lea want? We know she derives vicarious pleasure from watching her brother dish out pain, but is

this enough? Would she rather make herself happy in a more direct fashion? Katie Lea is not just Paul Burchill’s little

sister – she’s a bona-fide athlete. She has been trained for the squared circle in her native England. Katie Lea has chosen

not to showcase her in-ring skills and target the Women’s Championship – for now. But if she ever does, watch out. Because

what Katie wants, Katie gets.

WWE Jillian

WWE Jillian

Jillian Stats
From: Los Angeles
Career Highlights: Worked as a "Fixer" for the likes of JBL and MNM

Move over Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. There’s a WWE Diva taking the pop music scene by storm.

At 2007’s No Way Out pay-per-view Jillian made her WWE singing debut — to a chorus of boos from our fans. But that didn’t

stop Jillian — it motivated the Raw Diva even more. With a penchant for the troubled pop starlet Britney Spears, who she once

called "her favorite," the songstress was determined to show our fans her true musical abilities.

Jillian released her first album, A Jingle with Jillian exclusively on iTunes right in time for the 2007 holiday season.

Featuring such classics as "I’ll be Home for Christmas" and "Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree," it was destined to be a

success.

But don’t cover your ears just yet, you can hear Jillian’s angelic voice every Monday night, singing her entrance theme just

before this sultry siren demonstrates her ample in-ring ability.

WWE Diva Eve

WWE Diva Eve

Eve Stats
From: Los Angeles
Career Highlights: Winner of the 2007 WWE Diva Search

If one were to ask Eve how she views herself, the beautiful Los Angeles resident would answer, “I am sexy, smart, and always

excel and do my best.”

It’s that same drive which propelled Eve to enter the 2007 Diva Search and become not only one of the final eight

contestants, but the winner of the competition. No stranger to the excitement of a large crowd as a Los Angeles Clippers

Spirit Dancer, she now brings her unique strength and enthusiasm to WWE.

Eve sees a lot of herself in Mickie James. “She’s cute and has a playful side to her,” she observes, “but when that bell

rings, she means business.” Yet it is Mickie’s presence outside the ring that most impresses Eve. “Mickie is extremely

intelligent, and that, I think, is a huge plus.”

Eve is hardly a slouch in the brains department, as she’s adept at solving Rubik’s Cubes whenever the mood strikes her. Other

times, she prefers keeping her body in shape by dancing, running, aerobics and kickboxing. And if you really want to get this

Diva’s temperature rising (pay attention, boys), the key to Eve’s heart is a night of salsa dancing, with intelligent

conversation mixed in.

It’s easy to see why one might consider Eve to be a strong, beautiful woman with a sunny disposition, though be warned; she’s

the first one to admit that if something or someone rubs her the wrong way, “I do have a bit of a temper.”

WWE Diva Candice Michelle

WWE Diva Candice Michelle

Candice Michelle Stats
From: Milwaukee
Career Highlights: Women's Champion; Playboy cover girl
WWE Debut: 2004
Entrance Video: WATCH

If there’s one thing Candice Michelle is determined to prove, it’s that she’s not just another pretty face. And she seemed to prove it by winning the WWE Women's Championship and holding on to it for almost three months.

A native of Milwaukee, Candice moved to Los Angeles at age 19 to pursue a career in acting, and after appearing in multiple movies, TV shows and magazines, she applied for the 2004 Diva Search. While she didn’t win, Candice was quickly signed to the Raw roster.

Since becoming a WWE Diva, Candice has maintained her beautiful image while continuing to improve her grappling skills. She’s worked with legendary Four Horsemen enforcer Arn Anderson to hone her in-ring skills, and her development is evident every time she steps into the ring. From physical battles to the vaunted Lingerie Pillow Fight, Candice is not afraid to mix it up in any way. Her training and her heart have paid off with the Women’s Championship.

And of course, there’s her impressive resume of external activities as well. Candice has been featured in numerous magazines, from DXL to Stuff, and she graced the cover of Playboy in 2006. In addition, she acts as a memorable spokeswoman for GoDaddy.com, starring in multiple controversial and nearly too hot for TV commercials that began airing during Super Bowls XXXIX and XL.

Candice embodies the spirit of a true WWE Diva, that being a woman who can kick ass and look good doing it. With her particularly striking combination of good looks, in-ring ability and bubbly personality, this the self-professed “Cheese Head” from Wisconsin could someday be considered one of the greatest WWE Divas ever.

WWE Diva Brie Bella

WWE Diva Brie Bella

Brie Bella Stats
Height: 5 foot 6
Weight: 125 pounds
Associates: Nikki Bella

Scottsdale, Arizona’s Brie Bella made her debut on SmackDown in summer 2008 and made an immediate impact on the Divas Division.

On her debut night, Brie defeated former Women’s Champion Victoria, showing that this half-Mexican, half-Italian beauty may be new to the scene, but she is ready to take on any challenge. After outsmarting Victoria in their first match, climbing under the ring to gain valuable time, Bella defeated Victoria in a rematch on SmackDown, proving she is not going to be an easy Diva to deal with.

While Brie is a former model, actress, and soccer player, she has left those accolades in her past and has set her new goal to climb to the top of the Divas Division and compete for the Divas Championship.

WWE Diva Beth Phoenix

WWE Diva Beth Phoenix

Beth Phoenix Stats
From: Buffalo, N.Y.
WWE Debut: May 8, 2006

After missing more than a year with a broken jaw, Beth Phoenix made her return to Raw on the July 9, 2007, broadcast. Moments after Melina pulled out of a tag team match due to injury, she introduced "close friend" Beth Phoenix as her replacement to team with Jillian against Mickie James & Candice Michelle. Phoenix & Jillian were unable to get the win, but teamed with Melina to assault Candice after the bout.

Originally, Beth burst onto the Raw scene in May 2006. Coming through the crowd, she attacked then-Women's Champion Mickie James. James was able to escape Phoenix and yelled "What are you doing here!?" as she left the ramp.

In the days to come, our fans would learn more about Beth Phoenix. Former Women's Champion Trish Stratus introduced Beth as an old friend of Mickie James, and insinuated that in the past, James had wronged her. Two weeks after Beth's first appearance, Stratus officially introduced her as the newest Raw Diva. Beth then welcomed herself to Raw by once again attacking Mickie James from behind, chasing her through the crowd and out of the arena. The following week, Beth made her in-ring debut, teaming with Torrie Wilson to defeat Candice & Victoria as James looked on from outside the ring.

However, in her first solo match against Victoria, Phoenix suffered the injury that would keep her sidelined for more than a year. After suffering a fractured mandible, she had a titanium plate inserted in her jaw the next day.

Upon her return, the relentless Phoenix proved that her newly acquired titanium jaw had only fueled her hunger for gold. As The Glamazon, Phoenix came to dominate Raw with her considerable size and strength advantage. She leveraged that advantage heavily, and quickly drew a bead on the reigning Women's Champion at the time, Candice. After a couple of losses, Phoenix managed to blunt Candice's speed and agility to capture the Women's Championship in October 2007.

After a five-month title reign of dominance, however, The Glamazon would relinquish her crown to Mickie James. However, at SummerSlam, Phoenix recaptured the gold in a Winners Take All Match, proving that The Glamazon is capable of rising from the ashes of adversity again and again.

WWE Diva Alicia Fox

WWE Diva Alicia Fox

Alicia Fox Stats
Height: 5 foot 9
Weight: 129 pounds
From: Ponte Vedra, Fla.

Introduced to the WWE Universe as the wedding planner for Edge & SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero’s nuptials, Fox has quickly made a name for herself – albeit one she may not want.

With an extremely hands-on approach to planning the wedding, Fox was caught on video in Edge’s hotel room, where the two exchanged a passionate kiss – and ruined the reception on SmackDown.

Fox, distraught by the mess between Edge and Vickie, moved her business to the UK where she met a talented up-and-comer, DJ Gabriel. She and Gabriel returned to the States and joined ECW where they have been dancing their way to the top.

The Diva has certainly shown the WWE Universe that she will do whatever it takes to prove she belongs in WWE.
