With WrestleMania XXVII coming up this weekend, a lot of fans are hyped up and already trying to "predict" which dude in spandex will be named the new champion. FOH, fam. Since everything is already scripted (#dreamcrusher), we'll give you one real reason to tune in: The ladies! From Miss Elizabeth all the way to Stacy Keibler, we've found some wrestlin' beauties that we wouldn't mind getting pinned by. Here are the 27 Hottest Women in WWE History...
27. Molly Holly
YEARS ACTIVE: 1997-2005
COMPLEX SAYS: This two-time WWE Women's Champion is one of the few female wrestlers to hold a male title belt, winning the Hardcore Championship in 2002. Later in her career, Holly took on a more prude ring persona and even vowed to remain a virgin until marriage. You were a hardcore champion, yet you're a virgin? If you say so...
26. Lisa Marie Varon a.k.a. Victoria
YEARS ACTIVE: 2000-present
COMPLEX SAYS: This Puerto Rican and Turkish mix made her national debut at WrestleMania XVI as one of the Godfather's hos. Only a few months later, she won the WWE Women's title. From ho to champ in a matter of months, you can't make this shit up. Oh wait...
25. Ivory
YEARS ACTIVE: 1986-2005
COMPLEX SAYS: Ivory got her start as manager of Mark Henry and D'Lo Brown tag team before becoming a three-time WWE Women's champion. Since leaving the industry, she's dedicated her time to animals at a dog shelter that she opened in her hometown. She's down with tag teams and lives her life doggystyle? We ain't mad at that.
24. Christy Hemme
YEARS ACTIVE: 2004-2009
COMPLEX SAYS: Before becoming a wrestler, Hemme did it all from being a waitress at Hooters to competing in the Lingerie Bowl. She was also featured on the cover of Playboy in April 2005. Do we have love for the redheads? You already know.
23. Sunny a.k.a. Tammy Lynn Sytch
YEARS ACTIVE: 1993-2000
COMPLEX SAYS: During the height of her career Sunny won the tag team championship at WrestleMania XII and was also named AOL's Most Downloaded Woman of the Year in 1996 (oh the days of 56k connections). But by 1998, she was released because of various reports including a backstage feud with Sable. Wait, a real catfight between Sable and Sunny but there's none of this on video? Vince McMahon: C'mon son!
22. Stephanie McMahon
YEARS ACTIVE: 1999-present
COMPLEX SAYS: Vince McMahon's daughter officially joined the family business and became a part of several ridiculous storylines throughout the 2000s. But one storyline that turned out to be true was her marriage to wrestler Triple H. Dude worked his way into a family with an estimated worth of over $1 billion. #winning
21. The Bella Twins
YEARS ACTIVE: 2007-present
COMPLEX SAYS: These sisters of Mexican and Italian decent made their debut on SmackDown and have been a tag team force ever since. But their road to stardom wasn't easy, they tried out on the 2006 WWE Diva Search but failed to make the cut. We thought the WWE already knew: Double your pleasure, double your fun...
20. Michelle McCool
YEARS ACTIVE: 2004-present
COMPLEX SAYS: Before hopping in the ring, McCool was a middle school teacher. She has since become the first wrestler to unify the Diva's and women's titles. So, she gives has a good brain and looks great in spandex? Yup, we're hot for teacher.
19. Brooke Adams
YEARS ACTIVE: 2006-2010
COMPLEX SAYS: Adams' time the WWE was pretty short-lived but she gave us classics like her participation in the Memorial Day Bikini Beach Blast Battle Royal a.k.a broads running around half-naked. Since leaving the WWE she's been named Miss Hawaiian Tropic Texas 2008 and participated in the International Hooters Swimsuit Pageant competition. Can't knock the hustle.
18. Lita
YEARS ACTIVE: 1999-2006
COMPLEX SAYS: In wrestling, the storylines are as fake as most of the WWE Diva's sets of twos but sometimes the drama can be all too real. Such was the case for Lita, who had an off-camera relationship with fellow wrestler Matt Hardy, but then cheated on him with another fellow wrestler, The Edge. With triflin' ways like this, who needs a script?
17. Alicia Fox
YEARS ACTIVE: 2006-present
COMPLEX SAYS: This 24-year-old Floridian hottie was discovered at the age of 19 in a fashion magazine by talent scout Johnny Ace. Is it us, or does this situation seem more like porn rather than the WWE? #justsayin'
16. Melina Perez
YEARS ACTIVE: 2002-present
COMPLEX SAYS: This five-time women's champion was originally the manager of the tag team MNM before becoming a wrestler herself. She also has dabbled in the WWE dating scene, having off-screen relationships with Dave Batista and Johnny Nitro, who she also managed earlier in her career. Mixing business with pleasure? We're cool with that.
15. Torrie Wilson
YEARS ACTIVE: 1999-2008
COMPLEX SAYS: In addition to her eight-year wrestling career, Wilson has posed for Playboy twice and was named Miss Galaxy in 1998 for her fitness abilities. She was also once roommates with fellow WWE Diva Stacy Keibler. Damn, can we borrow a cup of sugar?
14. Maryse
YEARS ACTIVE: 2006-present
COMPLEX SAYS: This French Canadian beauty holds a degree in Business Administration and a black belt in martial arts. She was also the only girl in her high school class. The guys in her class had a battle royal match to be her prom date. We kid, but we could most definitely see that shit happening.
13. Maria Kanellis
YEARS ACTIVE: 2004-2010
COMPLEX SAYS: If you don't catch this dimepiece in the ring, you can see her in a number of TV shows. She's competed or made appearances on Celebrity Apprentice, Project Runway, Outback Jack, and Family Feud (on five different occasions!). Starved for stardom? Nah fam, she's just there for your viewing pleasure.
12. Gail Kim
YEARS ACTIVE: 2000-present
COMPLEX SAYS: Forbes magazine listed Kim as one of "America's Most Eligible Bachelorettes" in 2007. Kim also competed for the Divas Championship last year with Eve Torres, Maryse, and Alica Fox at the Fatal 4-Way pay-per-view event. Uhh...paying to see hot chicks in a foursome? Why pay for it when you can get it for free? #thankyouinternet
11. Kristal Marshall
YEARS ACTIVE: 2005-2011
COMPLEX SAYS: Before becoming a wrestler, Marshall worked as a briefcase model on Deal or No Deal and also appeared as a vixen in music videos for 50 cent and Mase. Like a ton of other ladies on this list, Marshall is the real-life girlfriend of pro wrestler Bobby Lashley. Note to ourselves: 1. Become a wrestler then 2. Land a dime.
10. Terri Runnels
YEARS ACTIVE: 1990-2004
COMPLEX SAYS: This WWE Diva vet first caught the eyes of fans as the manager of wrestler Goldust, who was also her real-life husband at the time (WTF else is new?). She also was the WWE Hardcore champion at one point in her career. Hardcore in the ring and she married this dude? Yup, she's a freak.
9. Mickie James
YEARS ACTIVE: 1999-present
COMPLEX SAYS: This six-time women's champion first won the title at WrestleMania XXII. In addition to her wrestling career, she's also sings country music and released her “Hardcore Country” single in December of last year. We'll tune into her music videos, we may have to reach for the mute button though...
8. Kelly Kelly
YEARS ACTIVE: 2006-present
COMPLEX SAYS: Kelly's background of cheerleading and gymnastics gives her the advantage of flexibility over her opponents in the ring. Her finishing move is known as the "Kelly Killer." Yeah, we wouldn't mind getting all bent out of shape with her. Holla at us, Kelly...
7. Eve Torres
YEARS ACTIVE: 2007-present
COMPLEX SAYS: Torres is currently the reigning WWE Divas champion. Prior to wrestling she was member of the Los Angeles Clippers dance team and graduated with honors from USC. Hot x smart + a winner = wifey material.
6. Joy Giovanni
YEARS ACTIVE: 2004-2009
COMPLEX SAYS: This Italian beauty was named the Diva Rookie of the Year in 2005 and made her debut on SmackDown! as a massage therapist. Outside of the ring, she's a model who has competed in a few Lingerie Bowls and starred in the Avenged Sevenfold “Beast and the Harlot” music video. Despite her amazing body, she admits to loving pork rinds. So, she loves meat...yeah, we won't even go there. #tooeasy
5. Miss Elizabeth
YEARS ACTIVE: 1985-2000
COMPLEX SAYS: The lovely Miss Elizabeth is the O.G. of WWE Divas. She first became well-known for being the manager of Randy Savage who she was also the real-life wife of at the time. Tragically, she died of a drug overdose in 2003. Without her lists like this one wouldn't even exist. Top five, dead or alive? Ooh yeah! (copyright Macho Man). R.I.P. Miss Elizabeth.
4. Layla El
YEARS ACTIVE: 2006-present
COMPLEX SAYS: A picture is worth a thousand words but we're going to keep this simple: Honestly, we haven't tuned into wrestling regularly since the late '90s but goddamn tell us when Miss Layla El is on and we will begin watching religiously. Hell, we might even drop some loot to see her on pay-per-view. #soworthit
3. Sable
YEARS ACTIVE: 1996-2004
COMPLEX SAYS: Brock Lesnar's wifey was a household name way before dude became known for busting heads in UFC. Sable became the second WWF women's champion in 1998 but did much more for the sport outside of the ring during her reign. Her 1999 Playboy cover is one of the best-selling in the magazine's history. She has also appeared in numerous TV shows and movies in addition to model for brands such as Guess and Pepsi. What's left? Soundtrack, please!
2. Stacy Keibler
YEARS ACTIVE: 1999-2006
COMPLEX SAYS: When it comes to making the transition from wrestling into the mainstream, no one hasn't done it quite like Keibler. The long-legged starlet has gone on to appear in well over a dozen TV shows and movies and tons of "Hottest Women" lists. All you new WWE Divas, relax and take notes...
1. Trish Stratus
YEARS ACTIVE: 2000-present
COMPLEX SAYS: No other woman in WWE history has done as much for the sport as Trish Stratus. The fitness model is the only wrestler to hold the WWE women's title on seven different occasions. TV shows, movies, and a ton of magazine covers later she's easily the most recognizable female wrestler. These accomplishments earned her the Diva of the Decade title for the 2000s. Salute t0 Ms. Stratus, the hottest WWE woman of all time!
