10 Best WWE Divas Of All Time, Ranked

In 2008, the WWE women's division was officially labeled the Divas division. It was an era of change and growth in women's wrestling. It wasn't a good product yet, but it wasn't as pathetic as women's wrestling in the early 2000s. WWE began to focus on better women's matches and better storylines, creating a more competitive division.

The Divas era saw the emergence of very talented women, who left their mark on the business and played a pivotal role in the development of women's wrestling. Sometimes fans forget that there was a lot of talent in the Divas era as well. Without further ado, let's take a look at the 10 best WWE Divas of all time, ranked.

10 Eve Torres

Eve Torres began her WWE career after winning the Diva Search competition in 2007. It's safe to say that Eve was the best wrestler to ever come out of Diva Search. She quickly excelled in the Divas division due to her charisma and good in-ring skills. In addition, she always did a great character work, no matter if she was babyface or heel.

Throughout her career, Torres won the Divas Championship three times. While no one won it more times than her, the reigns were no big deal, though, as the booking was pretty simple.

9 Natalya

Natalya made her WWE debut in 2008, and she proved her talent very quickly. Unlike most women of that era, Natalya came from a wrestling family and actually had wrestling skills, so it was easy for her to excel. Natalya had some good moments and won the Divas Championship, although her reign was lackluster. As other talented women came to WWE, it became clear that Natalya was not an extraordinary wrestler, but no one can deny that she was one of the best Divas.

8 Mickie James

Mickie James was around only for the first two years of the Divas era, but she still deserves to be considered one of the best Divas of all time. During that period, she won both the Divas Championship and the Women's Championship and, even though the booking was lousy, she did her best as champion. James was far better than your average Diva in every aspect of pro wrestling.

7 Paige

Paige had one of the fastest rises in women's wrestling history. Before the age of 22, Paige was already a two-time Divas Champion and was a fan favorite, which is insane. Paige was simply on another level and was one of the women who drove the evolution of women's wrestling. Unfortunately, that was the peak of her career, as a neck injury forced her to retire at just 25 years old.

6 Nikki Bella

Nikki Bella was a mediocre wrestler when she came to WWE, but as time went by she improved significantly, until she became one of the most important wrestlers of the Divas era. Her 301-day Divas Championship reign was one of the best, as she was a great champion, with presence, and decent skills both in the ring and on the microphone. Nikki played her part in the history of women's wrestling, she is definitely an icon who truly deserves her induction into the WWE Hall Of Fame.

5 Michelle McCool

On July 20, 2008, at the Great American Bash PPV, Michelle McCool defeated Natalya to become the inaugural Divas Champion. Perhaps there were better options, but McCool did a good job as the first Divas Champion.

Two years later, she won the Divas Championship again, not to mention she had two Women’s Title reigns as well. McCool was a solid wrestler, with an interesting moveset and good technique, but she wasn’t charismatic enough to be a fan favorite.

4 Kaitlyn

Despite her short WWE career, Kaitlyn had good times and left her mark on the company. In fact, she is considered one of the best Divas of all time. Kaitlyn was very strong which allowed her to lift her opponents with ease and perform power moves. In addition, her technique was good. Kaitlyn held the Divas Championship for five months in 2013 and her matches against AJ Lee were some of the best of that era.

3 Melina

Melina was known for being a very agile, flexible and athletic wrestler, capable of performing impressive moves. Also, her selling was outstanding. In fact, she had one of the best matches of the Divas era (I Quit match against Beth Phoenix at One Night Stand 2008). In addition, she was very charismatic and was always an excellent heel. Melina managed to win the Women's Championship three times, and the Divas Championship twice.

2 Beth Phoenix

Speaking of Beth Phoenix, she was one of the protagonists of the Divas Era. She was a threat to the entire division, she looked awesome, and she was an amazing performer.

Her powerhouse style was second to none, she was devastating and dominant, and she earned the respect of her co-workers and fans. Phoenix was a great Divas Champion, and she held the Women’s Title three times as well. "The Glamazon" was a pretty much perfect wrestler among lackluster Divas.

1 AJ Lee

The best Diva of all time is arguably AJ Lee. Despite not being sexy enough for WWE standards (that's what she was told), she stole the spotlight and became an icon of women's wrestling. AJ Lee was a phenomenal worker, her in-ring skills were great, her promos were captivating, and she was extremely charismatic. In fact, her matches and promos are still remembered today. AJ Lee took over the Divas division and changed the game.
