WWE is currently one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. The multi-billion-dollar business prefers to label the company as a sports entertainment company rather than a pro-wrestling company due to various reasons.
There is no doubt that the company brings a lot of fame and glamour to every individual who decides to walk into its ring. Whether as a heel or as a face, many superstars have found their home in the company and have become favourites of the WWE Universe.
Due to the massive fan following wrestlers receive, many film producers have found an opportunity to rake in some superstars in order to add to their movies and bring more eyeballs to it. Wrestlers like John Cena, Batista, The Miz, and especially The Rock, have found equal success on the big screen and pulled many of their fans to the theatres to watch their movies.
Similarly, the Divas of WWE have also managed to find some opportunities outside the ring becoming models, TV actors, musicians, and even trainers.
Some of the beautiful women of WWE have landed roles in major movies too which has allowed them to gain more success and become more popular with the fans. Let's take a look at some of WWE’s top women who have found success on the silver screen.
#15 Naomi
The superstar has seen many ups and downs in her time with the WWE. Though she can confirm that she enjoys the business much more than her previous jobs. This hasn’t stopped her in becoming a two-time women’s champion and the inaugural Women’s Battle Royal winner.
Naomi landed a small role as Murphy in the movie The Marine 5: Battleground which stars WWE’s A-lister The Miz. Apart from that, she has also gotten some roles in television shows and landed dancing gigs. It can be bet that she’ll be starring in a lot of films in the future too.
#14 Summer Rae
Summer Rae is one of the only women on the list to have not won a championship in the WWE even though she’d been with the company for over five years. She had a lot of acting talent in her during her days in the WWE which allowed the company to hand her various gimmicks.
Just like many other superstars, Summer Rae was also picked up by the WWE Studios to star in one of their movies. She landed a role in The Marine 4: Moving Target, and did her own stunts in the movie which brought her a lot of attention.
#13 Maria Kanellis
Maria Kanellis started off her WWE career as a clueless Diva who wasn’t good at anything. After some time with the company, she could wrestle, announce, interview, and even manage other superstars. He star-power increased so much that she could be coupled with any wrestler to increase their popularity.
In 2014, Maria starred in a movie titled The Opposite Sex alongside Kristin Chenoweth and Eric Roberts. Using it as a stepping stone, she starred in The Santa Files as herself, The Getter, and Church. Even though all these movies didn’t make it too big, it could just be the start to a long career.
#12 AJ Lee
At one point of time, it seemed like AJ Lee was at the top of the WWE and there was no bringing her down. After she paired with Daniel Bryan and then later with CM Punk, the little bombshell was off the hooks and took the company by storm.
Out of the wrestling business, AJ Lee has done one voice-over role in 2014 for Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery playing herself. This year she has filmed a movie called Rabid, which is a remake of the 1977 film of the same name, alongside her real-life husband CM Punk. The movie is scheduled to release next year.
#11 Chyna
The late Chyna was one of the strongest and most brutal women to ever walk into the WWE. She gained attention when it was noted that she could even match up to the strength of many male superstars, and had a relationship with Triple H.
Even though she had a turbulent end to her career and her life, Chyna found some success outside the ring too in the showbiz industry. She starred in Pacific Blue, 3rd Rock from the Sun, and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Her notable co-starring roles came in Just Another Romantic Wrestling Comedy and Illegal Aliens.
#10 Eve Torres
Eve entered the WWE through its Diva Search program. Not much later, she became a Diva’s champion and won the championship three times before parting ways with the company. Since April 2014, she’s served as an Ambassador for the WWE.
Outside of the company, Eve has starred alongside The Miz and CM Punk in the film Queens of the Ring. Moving forward from there, she landed a role in her first feature film Skiptrace in 2016 which starred Jackie Chan, Fan Bingbing, and Johnny Knoxville. She’s also starred in The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power.
#9 Maryse
Maryse is one of the leading ladies in the WWE at the moment and is married to a WWE superstar – cum – Hollywood A-lister The Miz. The star couple is known for their works in and out of the ring, and currently even have a reality show based on their life and family called Miz & Mrs.
Maryse has also found some interesting roles in Hollywood movies, such as Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, Isle of the Dead, and Santa’s Little Helper. However, her main role came in the movie starring her husband called The Marine 5: Battleground.
#8 Paige
Many of us believed that Paige would become one of the top wrestlers in the company within a few years. However, a career-ending injury put the brakes on what could have been. Currently, Paige is the General Manager of SmackDown and is doing a great job at running the brand.
Paige too, like many other divas, has tried her hands at the big screen. She starred in the comedy Santa’s Little Helper alongside The Miz and Maryse. She’s even lent her voice to Surf's Up 2: WaveMania, which shows that the 26-year-old is destined for a career outside the WWE too.
#7 Sable
Sable can arguably be regarded as one of the original Divas who led the women’s revolution in the WWE. The blonde was known as one of the most glamorous females in the industry for a very long time. She’s now a mother and a grandmother and is currently married to The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar.
Along with being a WWE superstar, Sable too found success on the big screen owing to her irresistible looks. In 2003 she got her lead role in the movie Slaves of the Realm as Shira. Apart from that, she has starred in many other movies such as Corky Romano and The Final Victim.
#6 The Bella Twins
The Bella Twins are back in the WWE and have returned to in-ring competition. However, the duo has had quite a turbulent return to the ring and need to shake off the rust before the WWE Evolution pay-per-view.
Both Brie and Nikki Bella were known as models when they debuted in the company. Later on, both went on to with the Divas championships and cement their name in the business. They are well-known for their show Total Bellas which came out as a result of their success on Total Divas.
Apart from the small screen, the two have starred in the movie Confessions of a Womanizer, and lent their voices to The Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age Smackdown!
#5 Stacy Keibler
“The legs of the WWE” is widely regarded as the most beautiful woman to have taken the squared circle. Stacy Keibler is a name that most fans will never forget, and she can be seen on many reality shows currently.
The former cheerleader has been in a lot of different TV shows including Psych, What About Brian, Chuck, and How I Met Your Mother. Apart from that, she’s had a small part in Bubble Boy and gotten starring roles in Fixing Pete and Dysfunctional Friends.
#4 Lana
We all know Lana as the Ravishing Russian behind the success of her on-screen and real-life husband Rusev. The two are currently enjoying cheers from the WWE Universe after being hated heels in the initial run. Lana has also managed to wiggle out of her purely managerial role into a somewhat decent in-ring competitor.
Lana has also found success on the big screen owing to her insanely good looks. After getting small roles in the Pitch Perfect movies and Scooby-Doo! and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon, Lana landed her first major role in 2016 for the movie Interrogation alongside Adam “Edge” Copeland.
#3 Trish Stratus
Frankly speaking, there is no Diva more famous in the WWE than Trish Stratus. She’s been one of the company’s leading champions and merchandise movers during her illustrious career. Today, Trish has a highly successful yoga studio in Canada which has won several awards.
The gorgeous woman has also gotten a chance to showcase her acting skills outside the WWE. She landed the lead role in Bounty Hunters in 2011 and co-starred in the movie Gridlocked in 2015. Apart from that, she’s also gotten a few television roles over the past decade.
#2 Becky Lynch
The bombshell women's star is currently enjoying some time at the top of SmackDown’s Women’s division, something that she thoroughly deserves. She’s one of the most athletic and hard-working wrestlers out there today who started off without ever thinking of joining the industry.
In 2018, Becky also got to co-star in her first ever movie. She was chosen as the female lead for the movie The Marine 6: Close Quarters alongside fellow wrestlers The Miz and Shawn Michaels. We certainly hope that it’s the first of her many outings as a Hollywood superstar.
#1 Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey joined the WWE as a full-time wrestler in 2018, and there has been no looking back for The Baddest Woman on the Planet. She is widely regarded as the face of the WWE by many even though she’s only been wrestling for about six months.
Ronda has also made a name for herself outside the ring in the film industry. She starred as Luna in The Expendables 3, as Kara in Furious 7 in 2015, and in Mile 22 in 2018. Even though she hasn’t had a main role in any movie yet, it seems like it's only a matter of time before she leads her own movie for the WWE studios.
