Many WWE women over the years have opted to leave the company to start families. Interestingly, there are a number of women who have been able to continue to be contracted to WWE and start a family as well.
Maryse and The Miz have had two daughters whilst Maryse has remained contracted to WWE, Brie Bella gave birth to Birdie Jo whilst taking hiatus from the company before later returning and being part of the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble match.
Rosa Mendes announced her pregnancy back in 2015 and remained under contract as a backstage interviewer throughout before retiring from the company a year after her daughter was born.
At present, Becky Lynch is set to give birth in December after she announced that she was expecting her first child with former WWE Champion Seth Rollins a few months ago. Whilst there are many women who have been lucky enough to remain with the company throughout their pregnancies, there are many others who haven't been as fortunate.
#5 Michelle McCool
Michelle McCool left WWE back in 2011 after she was pinned by Layla in a loser leaves WWE match back at Extreme Rules. The former Women's Champion married WWE legend The Undertaker around a year before she left the company and went on to announce that the couple was expecting their first child just a few months later.
Extreme Rules happened in May 2011 and Michelle McCool gave birth to the couple's first child the following year in August. Faith is the couple's only child together and is now almost eight years old.
Michelle has since returned to the company numerous times in the past with her most interesting return being as part of the women's Royal Rumble match in 2018 where she set the record with five eliminations.
#4 Jackie Gayda
Jackie Gayda is best remembered for her time alongside her husband Charlie Haas on WWE TV. Gayda didn't make as much of an impact in the company as many other women at that time since she was only on the SmackDown roster for a number of months.
Jackie debuted in 2004 and was then released in 2005 after an interesting storyline with Dawn Marie, where it was revealed that her husband was having an affair with Dawn. Both Haas and his wife were released from their WWE contracts in July 2005.
The couple were married later that year and went on to welcome their first of four children the following year. Their eldest daughter Kayla was born in 2006, followed by Taylor in 2008, Thomas in 2010, and Charles in 2012.
In April 2009, just months after the birth of her second child, Gayda made her return to WWE for one night only when she was part of the Women's Battle Royal at WrestleMania 25. Gayda has also wrestled on the Indy's but hasn't returned to the ring since 2010.
#3 Sara Lee
Sara Lee won the 2015 edition of Tough Enough on the WWE Network. Lee was the female winner alongside Mandy Rose, who was the runner up. Lee was then handed a year-long contract with WWE to train at their Performance Center and then hopefully be handed a contract extension.
Sadly, Lee was released from WWE just a year after her victory in the 2015 Tough Enough competition in September 2016. Just months later, Sara revealed that she and her husband, fellow WWE star Wesley Blake were expecting their first child. In November 2016 the couple announced on their social media accounts that they were expecting a baby girl.
Sara gave birth to the couple's first child, in May 2017, a daughter called Piper. The couple went on to marry in December 2017 before announcing that they were expecting their second child the following year.
Their son, Brady was born on February 27th, 2019. Blake has remained contracted to WWE and has since been promoted to the main roster as part of The Forgotten Sons.
#2 Dawn Marie
Dawn Marie was one of the females in WWE at a time when the women's division was seen as a sideshow. Marie was put into some of the strangest and most controversial storylines including one where she married Torrie Wilson's father and he then died whilst consummating their marriage.
Marie was an integral part of the SmackDown roster from 2002 until her release in 2005. Her release was a memorable one since Marie later claimed that she was released from the company whilst on maternity leave.
Marie was released from WWE in July 2005 and later went on to give birth to her son, called Matthew in December. In January 2006, Marie filed a lawsuit against WWE with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and claimed that her contract with the company had been wrongfully terminated because of her pregnancy and that she suffered mental distress because of this, the lawsuit was later settled in 2007.
Marie went on to give birth to her second child, a daughter called Katelyn Marie in May 2009.
#1 Sarah Logan
Sarah Logan came through the ranks in WWE and made her debut on the main roster as part of The Riott Squad alongside Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan. Logan wasn't given a storyline coming out of The Riott Squad's split back in 2019 and was released from the company back in April along with around 30 other employees from production, backstage, and even on-screen talent.
The former Riott Squad member was rumored to be making her return to WWE after the COVID-19 pandemic had finally come to an end since she had been a popular star with many backstage officials. Logan made it clear that this wasn't the case in an announcement that she made earlier today alongside her husband and Viking Raiders star Erik.
Erik and Logan are expecting their first child together and they announced it on their YouTube channel today. Logan teased that she had a big announcement to make on her social media yesterday and it appears that the former WWE star won't be returning to the company any time soon.
