The Canadian-born Maryse took the WWE world by storm when she debuted in 2006. Her signature hair flip and slick wrestling skills led to two title runs and plenty of memorable feuds. During her early career in the WWE, she starred in several segments with her eventual husband — Mike “The Miz” Mizanin. Although Maryse’s on-screen persona seemed disgusted by The Miz, the former Real World star wooed the former Divas Champion and the couple married in 2014 in the Bahamas. The couple have two children together — Monroe Sky and Madison Jade — and live in Thousand Oaks, CA where they filmed their reality show Miz & Mrs from 2018-2021.

Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr is the daughter of wrestling legend Ric Flair and now dominates the ring in her own right under the name Charlotte Flair. She made her first appearance in the ring alongside her father in 1993 but wouldn’t start her own professional wrestling career until 2014 when she was named Rookie of the Year. Charlotte Flair is a 14-time world champion and is also the first woman (alongside Sasha Banks) to headline a WWE pay-per-view event. Her match with Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 35 in 2019 was also the first time that a women’s match was the main event at the biggest event in wrestling. While Charlotte Flair is married to the talented Andrade who also wrestles in the WWE, Flair is a trailblazer just like her father.
Brandi Rhodes — Cody Rhodes

It is no surprise that Brandi Runnels (Rhodes) is a powerful presence in the ring today. After trying her hand in competitive figure skating for well over a decade, Rhodes set her eyes on a career in journalism. Rhodes earned a degree from the University of Michigan and later earned a Master’s in broadcast journalism from the University of Miami. Upon graduating, Brandi spent nearly four years with the WWE. A few years after both Brandi and her husband Cody left the wrestling juggernaut, Brandi became the Chief Brand Officer of All Elite Wrestling — a new wrestling promotion co-founded by Cody, with aspirations of challenging the WWE for wrestling supremacy. Now back with WWE, Brandi made her first televised appearance at WrestleMania 40.
Michelle McCool — The Undertaker

This power couple made their respective WWE debuts nearly 15 years apart. Undertaker memorably emerged as Ted DiBiase’s mystery partner during the 1990 Survivor Series. 14 years later, McCool was selected as one of the contestants for the 2004 WWE Diva Search and eventually made her main roster debut several months later at 23 years old. Who would have thought that McCool would have called it quits nearly a decade ago while the Undertaker was still going strong? Either way, they are certainly one of the more formidable wrestling pairs in history with 10 World Championship reigns between them.
Chelsea Green — Zack Ryder

Urged on by his close friend Cody Rhodes, Ryder reached out to Chelsea Green on Instagram in 2017 — and the rest is history. The couple dated for two years before getting engaged on April 4, 2019 — just a year after Green signed a developmental contract with WWE. Green has worked all around the world including stops in TNA and Lucha Underground. Green even appeared as a contestant on WWE’s revived reality show Tough Enough in 2014. She made her debut on the WWE main roster on the December 23, 2019 episode of RAW.
Wanda Ferraton — Goldberg

Everyone knows Bill Goldberg. One of the most dominant wrestlers of all-time, Goldberg dominated WCW in the late 1990s. However, the former WWE Universal Champion isn’t even the most courageous member of his household. That title goes to his wife — Wanda Ferraton. Before meeting Goldberg, Ferraton worked as a Hollywood stuntwoman. Ferraton worked stunts on productions such as Texas Rangers, Hollywood Flies, and Santa’s Sleigh — Sleigh being where the couple first met. The two have been married for 19 years and have one son, Gage, who has been seen in the ring alongside Goldberg.
Naomi — Jimmy Uso

The first-ever three-time Ring of Honor World Champion, Cole now has a chance to be AEW’s next big star. Wrestling fans are clamoring for Baker and Cole to join forces in the ring one day.
Linda McMahon — Vince McMahon

Arguably the most recognizable woman in wrestling history — Linda McMahon. Alongside her husband, Vince McMahon, Linda co-founded WWE. Linda held the positions of CEO and President from 1980-2009. She stepped away in ’09 to pursue a seat in the United States Senate. Although she came up short on two different occasions (’10, ’12), McMahon was named the Administrator of the Small Business Administration by President Trump in 2017. After two years at the helm, McMahon resigned in order to assume the role of Chairwoman of America First Action — a position geared towards helping President Trump’s re-election chances.
Beth Phoenix — Edge

Edge’s love life is fairly well documented. Before tying the knot with Beth Phoenix in 2016, Edge (real name Adam Copeland) had been married twice before and also dated fellow WWE superstar Amy Dumas (known as Lita) for several years. Phoenix is regarded as one of the most dominant women to ever step foot inside a WWE ring. Her “Glamazon” persona led to four title reigns and her eventual induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

As you can probably tell based on Natalya’s magnificent belt sitting on her shoulder, she is kind of a big deal. A member of the famed Hart wrestling family, Natalya Neidhart was born to be a WWE superstar. She made her debut in 2008, and in the years that followed Natalya became the first woman to win both the Divas Championship and the Smackdown Women’s Championship. Outside of the ring, Natalya has been a featured cast member on Total Divas — a show focusing on the lives of women from WWE. Natalya has been married to Tyson Kidd since 2013.

Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman (known in the WWE as Queen Sharmell) has been in the national limelight since she was just 20 years old. Huffman was the winner of the 1991 Miss Black America Pageant — an event mired by controversy after a contestant accused judge Mike Tyson (yes, that Mike Tyson) of rape. Following Huffman’s victory, she entered the world of dance and even toured with James Brown for a few years. She then began working in World Championship Wrestling where she met Booker T, and the couple made their way to WWE together after WCW was bought out. They were married in 2005 and had twins together in 2010.

Lynch is the current Women’s World Champion — she was the inaugural champ — won the 2019 Royal Rumble and became the first woman to headline WrestleMania. Lynch’s current partner, Seth Rollins, also finds himself at the top of the card regularly and is considered a face of the company.

While the McMahons have generally stayed in the spotlight through their company, Marissa McMahon-Mazzola has kept out of the public eye.

Mazzola has six producer credits to her name — including two works that are currently in production (Love Is a Gun and Train Dreams).

One-half of the tag team known as The IIconics, Peyton Royce made a name for herself in WWE. Royce spent three years in NXT before debuting on SmackDown in 2018. Royce’s main roster career got off to a bang as she teamed with Billie Kay (IIconics) to defeat Becky Lynch and Asuka. Royce found glory at WrestleMania 35 when The IIconics won a fatal four-way match to claim the Women’s Tag Team Championships. Royce’s husband, Shawn Spears, left WWE in 2019 and signed with AEW shortly thereafter.

AJ Lee — CM Punk

AJ Lee was an instant sensation in WWE. She elicited a reaction on a nightly basis — whether she was a babyface or heel. Lee was thrust into prominent programs and won the Divas Championship on three different occasions. Her incredible performances earned a ton of recognition — including twice being named Diva of the Year (2012, 2014) and Pro Wrestling Illustrated Woman of the Year in the same two years. Lee ultimately retired in 2015 due to injuries and a general sense of fulfillment. In 2014, Lee married then-WWE superstar CM Punk. In 2017, Lee became a New York Times Best Seller writing author for her memoir, Crazy Is My Superpower. After six years away from wrestling, Lee signed on with Women of Wrestling in October 2021 where she was an executive producer and color commentator until 2023.
Sable — Brock Lesnar

Outside of the enigmatic Chyna, there may have not been a more popular women’s superstar during WWE’s “Attitude Era” than the blonde bombshell Sable. After joining the company in 1996, Sable became an icon who appeared on the cover of Playboy magazine three times. Ten years the elder of her husband, Sable and Brock Lesnar married in 2006 — just two years after she separated from ex-husband Marc Mero.

Banks is a four-time Raw Women’s Champion as well as a Tag Team Champion. Related to a slew of big personalities — Snoop Dogg, Ray J, Brandy — it’s no surprise to see Banks shine. Banks married her husband, Sarath Ton, in 2016. After suffering an injury in 2015, Ton decided to stop wrestling and now works as a costume designer for WWE. Banks has been signed with AEW since March 2024 under the ring name Mercedes Moné.
