 * Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: See below for a good example.
 * Took a Level In Badass: She was always badass, but her recent confrontation with LayCool at "Old School Raw", calling them "bitches" and "sluts" (in WWE's "PG-Era", no less), was a welcome level for her.

 * Not "smaller", just not as toned as Trish.
 * I Have the High Ground
 * It Runs in The Family: Kayfabe since Hardcore and Crash Holly aren't her real cousins.
 * Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Her role as Spike Dudley's girlfriend got him over with a lot of WWF fans who hadn't followed his career in ECW.

Jazz (Carlene Denise Moore-Begnaud) 2001-2004

 * Amazonian Beauty
 * Arch Enemy: Arguably Trish Stratus, although it was more due to Trish being the Women's Champion and Jazz determined to get the title for herself, rather than anything really personal against Trish.
 * Boobs of Steel: Inverted, she had the smallest rack of any of the wrestlers but was obviously stronger than all of her competitors with the only possible exception being the much larger Victoria. Even then, she was the strongest pound for pound.
 * Demoted to Extra: And it was sad.
 * Kick the Dog: Jazz liked to attack people who had just had a match and were too tired to fight back.
 * Sassy Black Woman: Back in the old ECW.
 * Scary Black Woman: Her WWE persona was rather cold-blooded, and her brutal tactics (as noted under Kick the Dog, above) only reinforced this perception.

 * This Is for Emphasis, Bitch: The elevated double chicken wing became the bitch clamp and that was just the start.

Stacy Keibler (Stacy Ann Keibler) 2001-2006

AJ (April Jeannette Mendez) 2010-

 * Ambiguously Brown: Part Puerto Rican.
 * Berserk Button: DANIEL BRYAN.

 * Then she showed up on Smackdown to team with the winner, Kaitlyn.
 * Fragile Speedster
 * Genki Girl: Super hyper. Usually.
 * Girl Next Door: How she describes herself. Also how most of the other characters in the WWE describe her since she's a very atypical diva in terms of physique. That said, considering her looks, it's more of a Hollywood Homely sort of vibe.
 * I Have the High Ground
 * Lovely Angels: The Chickbusters with Kaitlyn.
 * Mad Love: Her relationship with Daniel Bryan, especially after he lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Sheamus at Wrestlemania 28. It's led to fans comparing her to Harley Quinn, appropriate since both her and Bryan are comic book fans.
 * Narm Charm: Her theme. It fits her perfectly but is very, very cheesy.
 * One of Us: Beyond her love of Wrestling, she's an Anime and Video Game fan.
 * Petite Pride: Mentioned quite a few times that she isn't the bustiest in the world, but she's proud of being different.

 * Dumb Blonde: On NXT.
 * Dyed her hair and shed some of this in FCW and on Smackdown.

Alicia Fox (Victoria Elizabeth Crawford) 2008-

 * Dark-Skinned Redhead
 * Cute Bruiser
 * Mini Dress of Power

 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Heel. Usually seems happy and positive but is also vicious and vindictive.
 * Too Dumb to Live: Tried giving a kick to Kharma when her back was turned. For those of you don't know, Kharma is about three times Alicia's size and four times a strong. Needless to say, she didn't last too long after that.

The Bella Twins - Nikki Bella, Brie Bella (Stephanie Monique Garcia, Brianna Monique Garcia) 2008-2012

 * Alliterative Name: Brie Bella.

 * Bullying The Pregnant Dragon: Makes fun of the pregnant Kharma.
 * Evil Is Petty: Their primary Heel tactic amounts to making fun of their foe, often just because the target can't do anything in return.
 * Face Heel Turn: After finding out that Daniel Bryan had been dating Gail Kim for six months and only been with them out of pity, since they had nothing to do after Raw stopped having Guest Hosts.
 * Flower in Her Hair
 * Hoist By Their Own Petard: Used Twin Magic (switching while ref has his back turned) in their Divas Championship match against Layla. This didn't turn out so great as Layla was able to counter the fresh Bella's move and
 * Making Use of the Twin / Twin Switch: Initially done in Brie's debut match, no less.
 * Put On a Bus: Left due to their contracts being up and opted not to renew them.
 * Sibling Triangle / Triang Relations: Two, Carlito and Primo for Brie on Smackdown! and both twins for Daniel Bryan on Raw. Both situations ended poorly. They where teasing a third with Alberto Del Rio, but nothing came out of due to them leaving WWE.
 * Spicy Latina
 * Tag Team Twins

Beth Phoenix (Elizabeth Kocanski Carolan) 2006-

 * Aborted Arc: In 2006, there were plans to reveal the history between the Glamazon and Mickie James, but they were canceled when Beth broke her jaw in a match with Victoria.

Gail Kim 2002-2004, 2008-2011

 * Action Girl
 * Badass Decay: Compare her early career and time in TNA with the caliber of work she's doing now. Big difference.
 * Badass Longcoat: In her early career, she had one.
 * Cool Shades: Also in her early career.
 * Cute Bruiser
 * Demoted to Extra: On NXT season 3, AJ has occasionally used a submission Gail Kim introduced to the WWE. Michael Cole insists AJ modified it from the octopus hold. Scott Stanford rectified this.
 * Put On a Bus: Back to TNA. The bus was delayed for a while, as WWE had refused to accept her resignation and kept her until her contract expired.
 * Shout Out: Her attire and titantron during her early career made several references to The Matrix.

Jillian Hall (Jillian Faye Fletcher) 2005-2010

 * Badass Decay: Similar to Victoria, she was one of the strongest contenders before being reduced to jobbing to everyone.
 * Blondes Are Evil
 * Blonde Republican Sex Kitten: During her run as JBL's "image consultant".
 * Dumb Blonde

 * Gag Boobs: One of her moves is to jam an opponent's face into her cleavage.
 * Squash Match: Shortest reigning Diva's champion on record, a record that probably won't be broken.

Kelly Kelly (Barbara Jean Blank) 2006-
""I don't want to be around someone that takes pleasure on beating on other people. Grow up!""
 * Action Girl
 * All Girls Want Bad Boys: Mike Knox and Randy Orton. Seems to have learned her lesson by the time she met Drew McIntyre.


 * The above line was lambasting McIntyre for attacking Trent Barreta from behind after losing a match to him on Smackdown.
 * The above line can also be viewed as a little hypocritical of her, as around the same time she and Kaitlyn attacked LayCool from behind before a tag match.
 * Ambiguous Innocence While she wasn't ever against the fans, she has done some questionable things. Such as using The Miz to protect herself and Randy Orton from Kane. Miz and John Morrison taking revenge was really understandable.
 * Badass Adorable
 * Cute Bruiser
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: She gets some fairly loud pops for a Diva... although admittedly it's mostly because she's just really, really hot. Although she's starting to become pretty decent in the ring.
 * Girl Next Door: Despite her... unique wardrobe selections, she definitely has this vibe going for her.
 * Hair of Gold
 * Ms. Fanservice
 * Plucky Girl: Despite all the crap she has to go through, Kelly never seems to stay down for long and always gets right back in the ring with a smile on her face.
 * Repetitive Name
 * Stripperiffic: Debuted as an exhibitionist.
 * Throw the Dog A Bone: Got her first Diva's championship after being the Women's division designated punching bag for five years.
 * Two First Names
 * The Woobie: Abused by Mike Knox, turned on by the rest of the extreme expose, kidnapped by Kane, rejected by Randy Orton, picked on by Laycool, tormented by Vickie Guerrero, scared shitless by Kharma... poor girl seriously needs a hug.

Layla (Layla El) 2006-

 * Alpha Bitch
 * Lovable Alpha Bitch: Yes she's a bitch, but her genuine affection for Michelle makes her very adorable.
 * Alternate Company Equivalent: In a bit of a possible Take That at TNA's AJ Styles, Layla wears a hood during her entrance.
 * The Atoner: Post-LayCool
 * Dark Action Girl
 * David Versus Goliath: During Lay Cool vs Beth Phoenix and Natalya. Oddly, it was a heel David vs. face Goliaths.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Dirty Coward
 * Evil Brit
 * Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: By the end of Lay Cool. Her desperate pleas for mercy whilst being crushed by Beth Phoenix/Natalya and her utter devotion to Michelle McCool got her over with the fans.
 * Jerkass: Good God, yes. Especially as part of LayCool.
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold: Post-Lay Cool. Maybe.
 * Les Yay: With Michelle McCool. To the point where when their relationship got rocky they went into couple's therapy.
 * Put On a Bus: Injured her knee (tore the ac and mc ligaments) in May 2011 during Extreme Rules, and hasn't been seen on television since.
 * The Bus Came Back: A year after her injury she returns to
 * Tag Team: With Michelle McCool as part of Lay Cool.
 * Ted Baxter
 * Twofer Token Minority: She's a woman of Moroccan and Spanish decent.

Maria (Maria Louise Kanellis) 2004-2010
"Maria: Last week, Eric Bischoff abused his power in a way that was malicious and capricious. It is this rash discourse that has ultimately led the locker room into disdain and mutiny, and should be grounds for his immediate dismissal."
 * Genius Ditz: On one hand, she can accidentally say the wrong thing, but on the other hand...
 * Brainy Brunette: Subverted due to her role as a ditzy interviewer, but if provoked, it plays straight.
 * Break the Cutie: Eric Bischoff put her in matches against Kurt Angle and Umaga.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Chris Masters assumed she just made a mistake when she called him 'The Masterbate' but it stands to reason she actually heard people saying that and didn't realize why it was derogatory.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Seriously. Girl can't remember who the President is, but she can spout of a stream of perfect legalese during the Bischoff Trial arc in a fabulous Take That to everyone who was stereotyping her as a ditz.
 * To everyone who doesn't know how it started, Bischoff forced her to fight against Kurt Angle when Maria was interviewing him. Maria got hit by a vicious Angle Slam and could've had the Ankle Lock on her had Cena not come in. Then when she's called for duty, she asks Mick Foley to bring out Mr. Socko so she can explain her opinion on Bischoff. Instead of being bubbly and sweet she turns serious and gives this answer:


 * Ensemble Darkhorse: She's always been extremely popular, and was voted 2009 Diva of the Year.
 * Kindhearted Cat Lover: She likes leopards, and she got a specially-designed leopard print outfit from Project Runway.
 * Fiery Redhead: When she dyed her hair.
 * In the Hood: Subverted - she's adorable and cute and blows kisses when she takes her hood off.
 * Perky Female Minion: When she was Santino Marella's valet, then again with Dolph Ziggler
 * Screwed By WWE Execs: Released by WWE at what appears to be a really head-scratch-inducing time; just as she's getting national television exposure on The Apprentice. Rumor has it that the WWE brass didn't want her pulling a Stacy Keibler and leaving wrestling once she got famous.

Maryse (Maryse Ouellet) 2006-2011

 * Action Girl
 * Badass Long Robe
 * Blondes Are Evil
 * Darkskinned Blonde: Though it is a tan.
 * Dirty Coward
 * Everything Sounds Sexier in French
 * Evil Is Sexy
 * Hair Flip
 * I Know Karate: In real life, though rarely makes use of it in matches.
 * Ms. Fanservice: Used to welcome viewers back to Smackdown in the exact same way Sunny did years before.
 * Put On a Bus: Released by WWE just as she was coming back from an injury.
 * Ted Baxter
 * Okay Guy, Hot Girlfriend: With The Miz. He's not hideous, but neither is he on Maryse's level.
 * Nobody is.
 * Zettai Ryouiki

Maxine (Karlee Perez) 2010-

 * Ambiguously Brown: Her complete list of ethnicities is Cuban, Chinese, Spanish, Italian and Hawaiian.
 * Arch Enemy: Hornswoggle and recently AJ.
 * Bridezilla
 * Butt Monkey: When she was a contestant.
 * Catch Phrase: "My name is Maxine and the only place for me is at the top".
 * Comically Missing the Point: Alicia Fox starts to give Maxine "The Reason You Suck" Speech when she realizes her student hasn't learned anything since losing NXT season 3 only for Maxine to cut her off with "Tell me something I don't know!"
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Is very popular with Diva fans on the internet who love her heel character.
 * Fashion Victim Villain: Just take a look at the ice dancer costume she was wearing in her first match.
 * Femme Fatale
 * Genius Bruiser: Studied to be a criminologist.
 * Leotard of Power
 * Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: With Derrick Bateman. Not so much with Johnny Curtis.
 * Screaming Warrior
 * Slap Slap Kiss: With both Derrick Bateman and Johnny Curtis.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo

Melina (Melina Nava Perez) 2004-2011

 * Action Girl
 * Arch Enemy: Trish Stratus, in Real Life. Although reports are unclear whether this applies to Melina or to her boyfriend John Morrison acting on her behalf, what they clearly do indicate is displeasure from that camp at Melina being left off the card at Wrestlemania 27, and blame pointed at Trish for "taking her spot". This led to Morrison snubbing Trish at the end of the match, as well as turning down several of her ideas beforehand, which reportedly pissed off most of the roster. One wonders why they blame Trish, who is one of the most celebrated wrestlers of all time, and not Snooki, the reality-show contestant who's never been in a ring.
 * Badass Decay: Set in at the begging of her face turn after being repeatedly brushed aside by Beth Phoenix, thankfully didn't last!
 * Evil Costume Switch: Changed for purple and to black.
 * Fetish Fuel Station Attendant
 * Fur and Loathing
 * Minor Injury Overreaction: Part of her heel character. Try not to pull the hair and don't break any of her nails unless you prefer to wrestle an angry Determinator over a cowardly competitor more worried about protecting her manicures than winning.
 * Ms. Fanservice: Dear god, her ring entrance. She's so bendy.
 * Pretty in Mink
 * Put On a Bus
 * Screaming Warrior:The Primal Scream. An artifact from her initial heel run, she always screamed before hitting her Finishing Move. After turning heel again, she's actually been yelling sentences, doing less raw screaming.
 * Short, Dark, And Bishoujo
 * Spicy Latina
 * Stringy Haired Ghost Girl: Her Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 character design plays with the "Stringy-Haired" part of this trope.
 * Took a Level In Badass: Following in Trish's footsteps, she started as a manager/valet and ultimately became a wrestler.
 * According to Bret Hart? Melina is the most talented performer - not "Diva", performer - in the WWE today.

Michelle McCool (Michelle Leigh McCool-Callaway) 2004-2011

 * Alliterative Name
 * Alpha Bitch
 * Alternate Company Equivalent: In a bit of a possible Take That at TNAs AJ Styles, Michelle wears a hood during her entrance and uses the exact same Finishing Move.
 * Awesome McCoolname: And an Incredibly Lame Pun.
 * Blondes Are Evil
 * Dark Action Girl
 * Hot for Student: Her past gimmick.
 * Hot Teacher: Her jobs before WWE, school teacher and kick boxing teacher. Past gimmick too.
 * Jerkass: Good God, yes. Especially as part of LayCool.
 * Les Yay: With Layla. See her entry for more.
 * Light Is Not Good: Many of her moves have a religious connotation, but she does not live up to those standards.
 * Which is Fridge Brilliance considering who she's married to.
 * Meganekko: See Hot for Student above.
 * Protection From Editors: She got quite the push when her romance with The Undertaker went public, and once held the Women's Title nigh-unchallenged for a while.
 * Romance On the Set: Has been quietly seeing The Undertaker for several years, and they were recently married.
 * Statuesque Stunner: She's always among the tallest women wrestlers when on the active roster.

 * Ascended Fangirl: Her first storyline with Trish.
 * Badass Decay: Considered by some fans to be a Trish Stratus clone.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: When she kissed Trish under the mistletoe, gaining an Earth-shattering pop from the audience.
 * Cute Bruiser
 * Draco in Leather Pants: Mickie was never able to get lasting heel heat, not even after she abducted Trish's protegee, busted Trish open when Trish tried to make the save, then licked the blood off her hands. Not even during the ECW vs WWE TV special when the rest of the WWE side was booed. Possibly because her deranged Axe Crazy Psycho Lesbian gimmick was unintended Fetish Fuel to much of the audience.
 * Fetish Fuel Station Attendant
 * Gainaxing: Have you seen her entrance?
 * Genki Girl: Fans are convinced her blood is made of caffeine.
 * Groin Attack: Did this to Trish Stratus at Wrestlemania 22.
 * Hollywood Pudgy: A sympathetic example, but fans were pissed because it reminded them of all the women who aren't treated sympathetically.
 * Loony Fan / Psycho Lesbian / Stalker With a Crush: To Trish after her Face Heel Turn.
 * Nice Cap: Added one on her entrance outfit around 2008-2010.
 * Panty Shot: In her early outfits.
 * Put On a Bus: To TNA, following an incident on an overseas tour.
 * Yandere: Could be this at times as a face, as well as a heel.

Naomi Knight (Trinity McCray) 2010-

 * Ass Kicks You: One of her signatures is hitting her opponent face-first with her ass while jumping in the air. It's named "the booty call"
 * Fragile Speedster
 * Genre Blind: Or not, for the NXT Halloween costume contest she dressed as the hamburger helper hand, "One Pound, One Pan, One Tasty Meal", which she later wrestled in. Comedy costumes never win contests in WWE unfortunately, less is usually more in those situations.
 * I Have the High Ground: And how!
 * Perky Female Minion: Along with Cameron Lynn in her new gimmick with "Funkasaurus" Brodus Clay.
 * Sassy Black Woman
 * Second Place Is for Losers
 * X Pac Heat: Only when she wore her Hamburger Helper Hand costume.

 * Alliterative Name: Her real name is Natalie Neidhart.
 * Badass
 * Badass Family: She's the daughter of Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart and niece to the Hart Family.
 * Blondes Are Evil
 * Cute Bruiser: Considering that her Finishing Move for a while was a Powerbomb, this is very true.
 * Evil Redhead: In the summer of 2008, because there were too many blonde divas in WWE.
 * Gasshole: Has been tagged with this unfortunate gimmick in the early part of 2012.
 * Guttural Growler: Has a very raspy voice.
 * Heel Face Revolving Door: Seems to switch every couple of months often with no real explanation.
 * It Runs in The Family: See Badass Family.
 * Jerkass
 * Lantern Jaw of Justice
 * Lovely Angels: With Beth Phoenix
 * Skunk Stripe: Pink stripes.
 * Ted Baxter
 * Ugly Guys Hot Daughter
 * What the Hell, Hero?: After her No Holds Barred Beatdown of AJ on August 5th's edition of WWE Smackdown. Doubles as a Kick the Dog moment
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: Her and Beth Phoenix as the Divas of Doom are these.
 * Alpha Bitch: Deconstructed into this.

Tamina Snuka (Sarona Reiher) 2010

 * Bastard Girlfriend
 * Beauty Is Bad: Because she's not in the same appearance as most of the divas and not conventially sexy she's often lumped with the wrestlers despite being visibly inexperienced in the ring. Kelly Kelly, Eve and the Bellas all have more experience than her.
 * Charles Atlas Superpower
 * Dark Action Girl
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: She's been well-received since her recent push.
 * Legacy Character: Of her father, she even uses the same finishing moves, the Superfly Kick and the Superfly Splash.
 * Kuudere: Has shades of it. Isn't often seen with the other Divas and a WWE Exclusive interview has her eating lunch alone in what looks like a warehouse. When the interview starts, Tamina is very terse with her interviewer and spends most of it silent with an expression that says clearly "get that camera out of my face." And yet, she fell for Santino at one point.
 * Odd Couple: Her and Santino, though maybe it's just that she has Hidden Depths.
 * Screaming Warrior: Initially.
 * The Quiet One
 * Slasher Smile: Sports one occasionally...as a face.
 * Tiny Guy Huge Girl: With Santino Marella, in a reprise of Beth Phoenix's original gimmick.
 * Took a Level In Badass: Went from something of an afterthought in the Divas division to being pushed as a truly dangerous competitor.
 * Ugly Guys Hot Daughter: See Wrestling Family, below.
 * Warrior Princess: Got this nickname from Booker T recently.

 * You're Not My Father: Her attitude toward the Usos after they drifted apart

Kharma (Kia Stevens) 2011

 * Subverted on the mom part. Her baby didn't survive the birth...
 * Ax Crazy
 * Badass Cape
 * Brawn Hilda
 * Beyond the Impossible / And the Fandom Rejoiced: The amount of time it took for her to get so over with the crowd that they pretty much explode whenever her music hits? One night.
 * By Smackdown, male fans were chanting "ONE MORE TIME" after killing Alicia dead.
 * Braids of Action
 * Dark Action Girl
 * Dark-Skinned Blond: Some of her braids.
 * Draco in Leather Pants: And HOW!!! Despite being a Heel, she gets louder pops than the rest of the Diva's locker room combined, and she hasn't even had an actual match yet!
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: To the degree that she's showed up as DLC in WWE '12 despite the fact that she still hasn't wrestled a televised match.
 * Evil Laugh
 * The Giant
 * Hell Is That Noise / Scare Chord: Her theme music. It's very effective.
 * Hero Killer: Was being built up as one until her pregnancy got in the way.
 * Hey It's That Woman!: AWESOME. KONG. Fuck yeah.
 * Meaningful Name: She seems to be focusing on Heel!Divas at the moment. In other words, Kharma's biting them in the ass HARD.
 * This seems to be guaranteed upon her impending return after the Bella trolling.
 * Oh Crap / The Dreaded: The divas Reaction to her.
 * Poke the Poodle: Flicks Kelly Kelly in the head.
 * Pregnant Badass: Despite having a high-risk pregnancy, she's can still intimidate a bitch.

 * Real Life Writes the Plot: Got written off of TV a month after her debut because she got pregnant.
 * Scary Black Woman
 * Slasher Smile
 * Something Completely Different
 * Villainous Breakdown: When she interrupted an 8-Diva tag match, instead of beating everyone up like she usually would, she fell to her knees in the middle of the ring and began crying as the divas surrounded her.
 * What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic: Her hype promo is consisted of destroying Barbie dolls.
 * Womanin Black
