Referring to a woman as a 'diva' is an ultimate compliment. It means 'to be outstanding and talented.' The word originates from the Latin 'divus', which means 'divine one.' The word diva is used to refer to the most famous female celebrities and it's used on film stars, singers, performing artists and now, the well-built and shapely women of World Wrestling Entertainment.

WWE divas are beautiful, sexy and strong - a potent combination. Just to name some, Beth Phoenix, Torrie Wilson, Melina Perez, Maria Kanellis, Victoria and Jillian Hall are some of these lovely ladies, who step into the ring night after night and risk life and limb with some spectacular and physically demanding moves, at the same time managing to look stunning.

But WWE divas did not always put on a show this way. Though they were always lovely, their in-ring action used to be severely limited. They used to act as valets to popular male competitors, accompanying them to the ring and often, giving them some, not strictly legal, but infinitely entertaining, help. Stars like the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage had valets of this sort. The first WWE divas to garner attention as wrestlers were the likes of Trish Stratus, Sensational Sherri Martel, Miss Elizabeth, Sunny, Sable and Terri Runnel. Terri and Trish became celebrated as pro wrestlers in their own right.

Unlike male superstars, the ring life for divas is usually much shorter. The best is acknowledged with the WWE Women's Title. Now, the glamour and strength of the WWE divas is so appealing that every year, the WWE Diva Search attracts thousands of hopeful young ladies.

Raw, Smackdown, ECW and Pay-Per-View are the regular wrestling entertainment events in which the WWE divas participate. The more unorthodox forms of wrestling in the women's category include various events such as lingerie pillow fights, pudding and gravy bowl matches and even bikini battle royals. These lovely divas attract more than the mere wrestling fan by engaging in such fascinating sporting specials.

Mickie James, one of the toughest female wrestlers, is the WWE Raw Women's Champion. She won the championship on the 14th of April, 2008.

WWE focuses on professional wrestling of all types and promotes it through three brands - Raw, ECW and SmackDown. Professional wrestling is considered as a simulated sport and performing art, which means it's a combination of athletic wrestling and dramatics. WWE is the the world's largest professional wrestling promoter and holds great significance in the sporting world.
