The Bodydonnas was the name given to the real-life couple of Chris Candido, wrestling as Skip, and Tammy Sytch, given the name Sunny, when the pair joined the WWF. The two had crossed from Smoky Mountain Wrestling, run at the time by Jim Cornette.

The two were later joined by Tom Prichard, billed as their cousin Zip. Together, Skip and Zip would win the Tag Team titles in March 1995 but would drop them to the Godwinns in later that year in May.

The team was based on the TV fitness and aerobic instructors that had become popular on tv at the time. While TV fitness and aerobic instructors were experiencing a growth in popularity, they were also seen as incessant and annoying, which played towards the Body Donna's arrogance and heat as a heel stable.

The pair would berate the audience and home viewers by fat shaming them. Once they made their in-ring debut, Skip would often do push-ups in the ring mid-match as a way to emphasize his physical prowess.

The stable would fall apart after Sunny turned on the team, leaving them to join the Godwinns. Though Skip and Zip continued to pair together, they too eventually disbanded when Candido left the WWF to return to ECW.
