WWE Women *Then Vs. Now* Comparison

Imagine coming back to your old workplace 20 years later. Well, there are female wrestlers in WWE that did just that and here are their evolutions!

WWE Women Then Vs. Now Comparison.

Maryse - Maryse first appeared in the 2006 Diva Search. Despite being eliminated, she signed a contract with WWE and went on to achieve great things in the company - like being the second ever and the longest-reigning Divas Champion - a record later beaten by AJ Lee. In 2016, Maryse first returned only to manage her husband, but it wasn’t long until the wrestler went back to her roots.

Natalya - Debuting around the same time as Maryse, fellow Canadian Natalya Neidhart arrived on the scene in 2008. She was no beginner though - strictly raised in the Hart Dungeon, Nattie dominated the opposition with ease. Now, around 15 years later, Natalya is still an integral part of the women’s roster, as she has won multiple titles during her career and cemented herself as a legend.

Kelly Kelly - In 2006, when Kelly Kelly first made her appearance as an exhibitionist, most didn’t expect that she would become the face of the divas division. After leaving the company in 2012, she has made several in-ring returns, including 3 Royal Rumble appearances. Many fans think that she looks as good as she did when she was 19, if not better.

Torrie Wilson - Speaking of Rumble returns, Torrie Wilson actually made her debut in WCW when she was in her early 20s. Wilson moved to LA to pursue acting, but ended up in the wrestling industry instead. While she has not won any titles, her high status in the history of female wrestlers is truly undeniable. Do you think that Torrie should’ve been a champion? Comment below!

Trish Stratus - The arrival of Trish Stratus in WWE was quite interesting to observe - she clearly was meant to be an eye-candy at first, only serving as a manager during her first few appearances. Despite this, Stratus has been hailed as a definition of a female wrestler in WWE, which is why not only did she have minor cameos throughout the years, but also had long-lasting feuds with modern day superstars.

Michelle McCool - Imagine going from a science teacher to a professional wrestler - well, that’s exactly what Michelle McCool did. After entering the 2004 Diva Search, McCool’s career flourished, as she has managed to become the first one to win both Women’s and Divas titles. Her Royal Rumble appearances proved that she has still got it and could come back for a full time career if she wanted to!
