Some former WWE superstars work as company ambassadors. Their role is to act as WWE spokespersons, represent the company, and be a part of its weekly or pay-per-view events from time to time.

Hall of Famers are mostly considered for the job, and few forfeit the opportunity. Amongst the men, ambassadors include the likes of Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, Bob Backlund, Sgt. Slaughter, and Kane.

Amongst women, however, few Hall of Famers are ambassadors. The likes of Trish Stratus, Lita, and Molly Holly are not positioned as such, with only two female Hall of Famers acting as company spokespersons.

The rest are an assortment of retired and active in-ring competitors. Here's a list of 5 WWE women you may not have known were company ambassadors.


#5 WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella

Both Nikki and Brie are part of the WWE Hall of Fame, and both are company ambassadors. The two had identical careers before Nikki Bella found her footing and overstepped her sister in terms of popularity and in-ring work.

Nikki Bella embarked on a 301-day long reign as WWE Divas Champion, becoming the longest-reigning holder of the now-defunct title.

Her most recent match was against Ronda Rousey for the RAW Women's Championship. Nikki's in-ring career is presently over because of health issues. She appeared in Total Divas and its spin-off Total Bellas until 2021.

The Bella Twins are heavily endorsed by WWE, who dub them company legends and a significant part of the women's revolution. These claims, and the company's decision to include them in the WWE Hall of Fame, have been criticized by a section of the fanbase.

#4 Former WWE Divas Champion Maryse

Maryse is not a retired WWE Superstar yet, but she barely wrestled in her second stint with the company, where she was positioned as a manager to real-life husband The Miz.

Maryse ceased accompanying The Miz in 2018 but has since continued to be a part of WWE as an ambassador. She was honored by WWE as a legend during a RAW 25 segment and occasionally appears to help her villainous husband cheat his way through matches.


#3 Former WWE Divas Champion Eve Torres

A rare professional wrestler to maintain their retirement, Eve Torres has never stepped inside the squared circle, WWE or elsewhere, since her departure from the promotion in early 2013.

Eve Torres was the first woman to capture the WWE Divas Championship thrice. She was a credible heel and put over Kaitlyn as a future star to end her run with the company.

Eve Torres currently acts as an ambassador for WWE and will surely be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in the next few years.

#2 Former WWE Divas Champion Paige

Paige's WWE career is an unfortunate case. Her enigmatic rise to the top of the women's division was portrayed in the film Fighting With My Family. It, however, did not capture the tragedy that unfolded.

With her personal life being a hotbed of controversy, Paige was forced to retire from in-ring competition due to injury. She has since been a part of WWE in various roles, including a stint as the SmackDown General Manager and her current role as an ambassador.

With once-retired superstars Edge and Daniel Bryan back in the ring, Paige, too, may return at some point in the future.


#1 Former WWE NXT Women's Champion Kairi Sane

Kairi Sane is the only entry on the list not to win a singles title on the WWE main roster. She is also the only entry to have much promise as an active performer as she is still in her prime. The Mae Young Classic winner is one of the best female wrestlers on the planet.

Sane chose to leave WWE to return to her native Japan to join her husband. She was provided with a well-documented farewell and a position as an ambassador for the company in Japan.

The former Kairi Hojo wasting the best years of her career in a non-wrestling role is a tragedy, and a return should be imminent now that WWE has terminated plans of a Japanese expansion.
