Taking the top spot in our hottest WWE divas list is another American professional wrestler, none other than Stacy Keibler. Born on October 14, 1979, in Maryland, USA, her career began after winning WCW’s nationwide search for a new Nitro Girl.

I remember seeing her live. She had the crowd on their feet, a vivid memory that underscores her iconic status.
Earlier in her career, she participated and finished third place in season two of “Dancing with the Stars.” During her stint in the show, judge Bruno Tonioli called her “The Weapon of Mass Seduction.” We do not doubt that.

Maryse was born on January 21, 1983, in Montreal, Canada. Maryse broke into the wrestling scene as a finalist in the 2006 Diva Search competition like the other female wrestlers on this list.
Her fierce determination and natural athleticism set her apart, paving the way for a successful career in the WWE. It reminds me of when I was starting my fitness journey.
The French-Canadian wrestler was the first to be a two-time Divas Champion. She held the title for 216 days in a single reign. That makes her one of the longest title holders in WWE history.
Maryse is also an extremely talented manager who guided her fellow contenders to succeed in their wrestling careers. She left WWE in October 2011 and returned in April 2016 to help her husband, The Miz, bag his fifth Intercontinental Championship.
Currently, Maryse stars in “Miz and Mrs.” with her husband and their two daughters.

13. Trish Stratus
Trish Stratus' shift from modeling to wrestling was seamless. It showed her versatility and commitment to the sport. I always encourage my female clients to do the same.
In 2003, this gorgeous and talented wrestler was crowned as “Diva of the Decade.”
This Canadian beauty was seen as mere eye candy early in her career. But, Trish proved her detractors wrong when she began competing in 2001.
In November of the same year, she won her first WWE Women’s Championship and went on to win that title seven times over the succeeding five years.
Trish Stratus retired from wrestling in 2006 and took her rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.
She is currently married to Ron Fisico, with whom she has two children.

Nikki eventually came out of her sister's shadow and became one of the best female wrestlers of recent times.
A severe neck injury could’ve been a game-ender, but not for Nikki. Post-intensive rehab, her comeback was nothing short of legendary. I was in the crowd that night - the energy was palpable.
She became a Divas Champion and ranked at the top spot in 2015’s Pro Wrestling Illustrated Female 50. That same year, Rolling Stone awarded Nikki Bella with Diva of the Year.

Born on November 10, 1992, in New South Wales, Australia, Peyton Royce grew up pursuing dance, which explains her fluid movement in the ring.
