Women’s wrestling has never been bigger than it is right now.
Gone are the days when there may have been one token women’s match on a card, if that. Also history are the times when the roles of females were relegated as props to further the storylines of the men.
Today, the laydays have multiple matches on every single WWE event.
Females take up roughly one third of all television time on WWE. They also account for about one third of the company’s total active wrestlers.
They do everything the men do – from ladder matches, to Elimination Chamber matches, to Hell In a Cell matches, to Royal Rumble matches, and just about anything else.
The talent, training and in-ring ability of the women has literally mutated just in the last few years.
We are all about the Girl Power thing. That’s all well and good.
But the rising stock in women’s wrestling has given us a fantastic and probably predictable byproduct – more eye candy than ever before.
So with another Wrestlemania season freshly behind us, we have decided to rank the top ten hottest wrestlers in WWE right now.
Rankings are based on talent, charisma, likability and sheer hotness.
And those ranked must be currently active with WWE, so unfortunately no Paige or Becky Lynch.
But don’t worry. We will come out with an All Time Top Ten list in the near future.
But for now…
10. Sonya DeVille
Deville (real life Daria Berenato), started as an MMA fighter in her early 20s. Deville likely realized her face looked too good to continue getting punched legitimately.
With pro wrestling offering a better future, Deville worked her way to WWE’s main roster and had a memorable run from 2017 to 2020, when she formed an alliance followed by a nasty fallout with Mandy Rose. The angle proved Deville to be a formidable heel.
After a true-life incident with a stalker at her home, Deville took a brief hiatus from the camera. She recently returned to RAW in character as a match-making WWE official.
Though she dresses down more than anyone on the list, Deville’s package of jet-black hair, piercing eyes and overall intensity is rather exciting.
One of the longest tenured women on the list, Lana (real life CJ Perry) began appearing on WWE programming in early 2014. At the time, she was a manager for her real-life boyfriend turned husband, Rusev, and portrayed a character from Russia.
Over time, Lana began wrestling matches. She also dropped her Russian gimmick and began weening off her faux-Russian accent not overnight but gradually. It was as hysterical as it sounds.
Her husband is no longer with the company, but Lana is still going strong in WWE. She recently wrapped a feud that saw Nia Jax put Lana through a table nine weeks in a row on RAW.
One of the daintier, less-ripped women on the list, Lana fills an underdog role to perfection.
Carmella (real life Leah Van Dale), first reached WWE in 2016 and quickly made a name for herself – winning the first ever women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match less than a year later.
Carmella had one of the better characters ever seen in the women’s division. Wearing a backwards hat and sneakers to go with leopard print leotards, Carmella fancied herself the “moonwalking, trash-talking Princess of Staten Island.”
The gimmick was roughly half hip-hop dancer and half bombshell.
After a hiatus in summer 2020, Carmella returned with the hip-hop aspect completely ditched and the bombshell aspect turned up about ten notches. And we aren’t complaining.
Now regularly sporting trashy club wear while sipping champagne, Carmella is back as one of the company’s best heels.
Unlike many of the women on the list, Bayley (real life Pamela Martinez), was a diehard fan of WWE since being a small child. With her life’s aspiration to become a pro wrestler, Bayley began training and wrestling on the independent circuit at age 18.
Bayley reached WWE in 2016 as the lovable, sideways ponytail sporting, positive-vibing “hugger” personality.
Bayley’s stock skyrocketed when she suddenly turned heel by attacking fan favorite Becky Lynch with a chair during one WWE’s best segments of 2019.
Bayley followed that up with one of WWE’s best and most violent segments in 2020 when she turned on tag team partner Sasha Banks. The spot saw Bayley wrap a chair around Banks’s throat and stomp on it.
Bayley is one of WWE’s greatest talents today, male or female.
Though sex appeal is not one of her priorities, any fan that has seen Bayley perform has undoubtedly noticed her crazy badonkadonk. We know we have. You don’t see abs-and-booty combinations like that too often.
If she decides to continue in WWE, we get the feeling that Banks (real life Mercedes Kaestner-Varnado) will go down as one of the greatest wrestlers in the company’s history for either gender.
One of the true talents that jumpstarted the women’s wrestling craze, Banks exudes star power.
If she wasn’t a wrestler, Banks seems like she is athletic enough to play in the WNBA or for the USWNT soccer team.
Also if she wasn’t a wrestler, Banks seems to have the charisma and presence to be an actress or musical performer – she is actually the real-life first cousin of performers Snoop Dogg, Brandy Norwood and Ray-J.
But we are happy WWE appears to be her calling.
That package of the blue hair, the blingy jewelry spelling out “Boss Time,” the chiseled physique, and the sheer swagger has us believing what we are seeing as much as any wrestler in history.
The daughter of WWE founder Vince McMahon, Stephanie first began appearing on WWE television in 1998 upon graduating from Boston University.
She acquired an impressive breast enhancement and quickly became the focal point of several key storylines in the Attitude Era and the Ruthless Aggression Era.
Now at 44, Stephanie is all business as the Chief Brand Officer of WWE. She is largely credited as the brainchild behind the expansion and evolution of the women’s division. While her father is a living legend, Stephanie brought women’s wrestling to the forefront in a way Vince probably never could.
Though she rarely performs in storylines anymore, Stephanie is constantly representing WWE in reality shows, charitable events, press conferences, awards shows and other functions.
And she still looks hot as fuck. She will always have a spot in our top five.
Being a former fitness competitor and an absolute GoldDime like Bliss (real life Alexis Kaufman) is normally enough of a resume for a woman to try her hand at pro wrestling.
While Little Miss Bliss certainly has those credentials, what sets her apart is her acting chops. We are going to go out on a limb and say Bliss is the best actor in WWE male or female.
Bliss was the first to win both the RAW and Smackdown women’s championships as her peppy, smart-alecky, colorful original character.
But the pandemic forced WWE to try different things with storylines while suspending disbelief. Bliss has been at the forefront of that in the last year, as an unlikely alliance with Bray Wyatt turned her into a supernatural psycho character. Normally, we aren’t down for this sort of thing in wrestling, but dammit, Alexa made it work.
She wore insane contacts lenses. She oozed slime from her mouth. She shot fire balls at competitors. Of course, she laughed maniacally.
The Crazy Alexa character has changed her appearance from cheerleader-like to something from a horror movie. And she made it hot.
Morgan (real life Gionna Daddio) grew up the youngest of six children with a single mother in New Jersey. Before becoming a wrestler, she was a Hooters waitress at a young age.
You get the sense this girl has seen some shit. And it certainly shows in the character she portrays.
Morgan debuted in WWE in 2017 with the alt-punk faction the Riott Squad. She then broke out as a singles competitor, briefly inferred a lesbian relationship with Lana, then had a nasty feud and eventual reconciliation with former tag partner Ruby Riott.
One of Morgan’s strengths has been her insane costumes and appearance.
She started out sporting pink pigtails and an oft-present blue tongue. Morgan then evolved to wearing patented leather getups with her ass largely exposed.
Other creative outfits from Morgan clearly took heavy influence from the Batman villain Harley Quinn, as well as Christina Aguilera from the singer’s “Dirty” video.
Do we need to further explain Morgan cracking the top three? The girl has fucking style.
Much like the path male wrestlers used to take back in the day before becoming in-ring entertainers, Brooke (real life Ashley Sebera) was a competitive bodybuilder first.
Brooke was in a number of international bodybuilding competitions including the Arnold Classic. She allegedly often got tips from Schwarzenegger himself.
Though still in impeccable shape, Brooke looks much more like a porn star today than a bodybuilder. She has easily the largest chest of any current WWE performer – not saying that’s a weakness of ours, or anything.
However, Brooke’s assets do not affect her in-ring prowess, which has improved significantly and led to more matches and television time in the last two years.
Also a former gymnast, Brooke routinely works tumbling passes into her in-ring attacks. That is a sight to see, to say the least.
Hands down the hottest woman in WWE right now, Rose (real life Amanda Saccomanno) may also be the hottest female in the company’s history when it’s all said and done. And that’s really saying something.
The Yorktown Heights, NY native takes the bombshell blueprint and does it better than anyone else.
Combine the bleach blonde hair and one of the most perfect tans on the planet with the New York presence, and Rose could have walked off the set of The Wolf of Wall Street.
On WWE programming, Rose also already earned not one, but two nicknames, “The Golden Goddess” and “God’s Greatest Creation.”
It’s no wonder her Instagram account looks more like that of a model than a wrestler.
Prior to WWE, Rose was a World Beauty Fitness and Fashion Bikini Champion. Whatever that is.
She has also appeared in numerous magazines outside of wrestling for both fitness and modeling.
Though Rose may have been fast-tracked in WWE because of her looks, she certainly possesses the necessary athletic ability.
Rose’s matches routinely show her exhibiting strength that most women on the WWE roster simply don’t have.
Now coming up on her fourth year on WWE’s main roster, Rose recently formed a dream tag team of sorts with Brooke.
We wouldn’t mind taking them on in a handicap match.
