10 WWE superstars and their childhood wrestling idols 

#8 Carmella - Miss Elizabeth

Carmella has recently returned to WWE screens, and has debuted a new villain persona, dubbing herself "untouchable". The former WWE SmackDown Women's Champion has often cited Miss Elizabeth as one of her biggest childhood idols.

Growing up in a wrestling household, the star has commented on how she used to dress up as Miss Elizabeth when she was a little girl and would pretend to be her favorite star.

It is unsurprising that Carmella has often shown her glamourous side during her WWE career, something that Miss Elizabeth was well-known for during her days at the side of Randy Savage.

#7 Liv Morgan - Lita

Liv Morgan grew up wrestling her four older brothers in the backyard of their home, and has often cited Lita as her childhood idol. During a WWE interview, the star claimed:

"I always pretended to be Lita. All the Divas were so glamourous and girly, and I was such a tomboy and didn't have nice clothes. When I saw Lita come out in baggy pants and sneakers, wrestling the boys, I thought that she was the coolest thing ever."

It is evident by Liv Morgan's unique persona and look that Lita had some influence over her in her WWE career. In her early NXT days, Morgan even had a pretty tomboy-ish look, complete with baggy pants that felt like a modernized take on Lita.

Lita was a gamechanger for women in WWE, and her influence is still felt today.
