It has been 15 years since Sable left the WWE, never to step foot inside a wrestling ring again. Sable is considered by many to be one of the original WWE 'Divas', along with Sunny. Both women lit the wrestling world on fire at the peak of the Attitude Era, with Sable gaining mainstream recognition after posing for Playboy magazine. In fact, Sable has posed for Playboy on multiple occasions, with one of those being alongside Torrie Wilson, a fellow WWE Diva.

Sable was reinstated back in the WWE in 2003 and was immediately put into one of the most controversial storylines of the Ruthless Aggression Era. The infamous feud between Mr McMahon and Stephanie McMahon was a result of Vince trying to leave his wife to be with Sable. The feud received flak from the WWE Universe for being too distasteful and was soon scrapped.

Sable teamed up with her arch nemesis, Torrie Wilson in an evening gown match at the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania 20 at Madison Square Garden. She spent the majority of 2004 feuding with Torrie, followed by her release from the company. She later married the former WWE champion, Brock Lesnar and has never made a WWE appearance ever since. Let's look into some little known, albeit interesting facts about Sable.

After Brock's departure from WWE, Sable spent several months in the company until her contract was up. Two years later, Lesnar joined New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), after a failed Football career.

Surprisingly, Sable accompanied him to the ring and it was confirmed that Sable was in fact, his valet. Sable had acted as a valet for multiple wrestlers in the past during her time in the WWE. Brock and Sable left the NJPW in 2007, and Sable has maintained a low profile since then. Although we saw Brock make his long-awaited return to a WWE ring in 2012, there doesn't seem to be the slightest possibility of Sable following in his footsteps and coming back for one final run.

Sable made her WWE debut at the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania 12, acting as a valet to Hunter Hearst Helmsley, famously known as Triple H.

Her alliance with Hunter didn't last long and she aligned with Marc Mero, who saved the blonde diva from The Game. Things were going great for a while, but the seeds for an eventual breakup were planted when Mero got injured.

While being sidelined, he witnessed Sable's popularity rising without his assistance. Upon his return as a heel, he grew jealous of Sable, which led to the couple splitting. On an episode of Monday Night Raw, Sable grew tired of Mero's whining and finally snapped.

In one of the coolest visuals of the Attitude Era, Sable powerbombed Marc Mero in the middle of the ring, without any assistance. Take a look and marvel at the fact that Sable was once an extremely powerful woman.

After leaving the WWE back in 1999, Sable went on to publish her autobiography, titled "Undefeated". She also released an independent comic book named "The 10th Muse". The comic book was written by the critically acclaimed writer, Marv Wolfman.

The debut issue was the sixth highest selling issue in the American comic book market in November of 2000. In the comic book, Sable is portrayed as a modern-day daughter of the legendary Greek God, Zeus. The original series was published by Image Comics, the company that went on to produce masterpieces like "The Walking Dead" and "Alex+Ada".

An alternate cover of the comic book featured a real-life portrait of Sable on the cover. The comic went on to be revived for the 2nd volume in 2005 and didn't feature Sable in any capacity.
