If you refer to a woman as a 'diva', it's the highest compliment you can pay her. It means she's talented, outstanding and praise-worthy. The word 'diva' is derived from the Latin 'divus', translating to 'the divine'. Most famous celebrities are often referred to as divas and as of recent times, so are the lovely women of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

The WWE divas are among the world's sexiest women and are also athletic entertainers known to be great performers. The most popular current age WWE divas include Candice Michelle, Torrie Wilson, Jillian Hall, Maria Kanellis, Melina Perez, Victoria and Beth Phoenix. These ladies train very hard, just as much as their male counterparts, and put on quite a show for the audience.

But WWE divas did not always put on a show this way. Though they were always lovely, their in-ring action used to be severely limited. They used to act as valets to popular male competitors, accompanying them to the ring and often, giving them some, not strictly legal, but infinitely entertaining, help. Stars like the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage had valets of this sort. The first WWE divas to garner attention as wrestlers were the likes of Trish Stratus, Sensational Sherri Martel, Miss Elizabeth, Sunny, Sable and Terri Runnel. Terri and Trish became celebrated as pro wrestlers in their own right.

The life of WWE divas have not always been easy. But now, their recognition standards are aptly proven by the WWE Women's Title. These WWE divas have made the sport famous to such an extent that ambitious contestants make their way to the annual WWE Diva Search with hopes of glory.

WWE divas participate in regular wrestling entertainment events, such as Smackdown, Raw, ECW and Pay-Per-View. The wrestling has also taken a more unconventional form, with pudding and gravy bowl matches, lingerie pillow fights and bikini battle royals. These wrestling divas attract many wrestling fans and casual observers, because of their eye-appeal.

The reigning WWE Raw Women's Championship title holder is Mickie James, who was awarded the title on 14th April 2008.

WWE focuses on professional wrestling of all types and promotes it through three brands - Raw, ECW and SmackDown. Professional wrestling is considered as a simulated sport and performing art, which means it's a combination of athletic wrestling and dramatics. WWE is the the world's largest professional wrestling promoter and holds great significance in the sporting world.
