Name: Matt Hardy

Height: 6 foot 2

Weight: 236 pounds

From: Cameron, N.C.

Signature Move: Twist of Fate, Side Effect

Status: Active,Face

Career Highlights: ECW Champion; United States Champion; World Tag Team Champion; European Champion; Hardcore Champion; Cruiserweight Champion; WCW Tag Team Champion

Associates: Jeff Hardy

WWE Debut: 1993

Histrory: As the insignia on his tights metaphorically symbolize, Matt Hardy's ultimate goal has always been to "turn the key of his destiny" and reach the competitive zenith of WWE.


In the ring, Matt Hardy lives his motto: "I will not die." Time and time again he has sacrificed his body for both the enjoyment of the fans, and the sport which he has loved so dearly for his entire life.

Matt came to the WWE in 1998 as a tag team specialist, teaming up with his brother Jeff to form the appropriately named The Hardys. While severely undersized, The Hardy's outstanding chemistry and unmatched heart carried them to stardom. The Hardys went on to become five-time World Tag Team Champions in WWE before breaking up in 2002.

In 2003, shortly after joining the SmackDown roster, Matt Hardy pursued the Cruiserweight Championship. After struggling for weeks to make the weight limit, Hardy defeated Kidman for the Championship at No Way Out '03.

After he won the title, Hardy endured an up and down rivalry with Rey Mysterio. Hardy got the best of Rey Mysterio in a controversial Championship match at WrestleMania 19. A month later however, Mysterio got his revenge, defeating Hardy for the Cruiserweight Championship on SmackDown.


In 2004, Matt Hardy's girlfriend Lita became the object of Kane's affection. For weeks on Raw, Kane stalked Hardy and Lita, routinely abusing Matt while pursuing Lita, at one point even planting a disturbing kiss on Lita's cheek. On a June episode of Raw, Lita told Matt she was pregnant, presumably with his child. One week later, Matt prepared to propose to Lita, but was interrupted by Kane, who made a shocking allegation. Kane claimed that the baby Lita was carrying was not Matt's, but his own. At Vengeance, Hardy got a small matter of revenge, beating Kane in a No Disqualification Match after the use of a steel chair and ring steps. Shortly thereafter, Lita took a DNA test and found out that Kane was indeed the father. Matt told Lita that it didn't matter to him, and he still wanted to marry Lita. Kane however decided that he also wanted to marry Lita. A unique match was set for SummerSlam, Matt Hardy vs. Kane for the right to marry Lita. SummerSlam was a nightmare for Hardy as Kane won the match, and the right to marry Lita on Raw. The marriage took place two weeks later on Raw, but not without drama. A desperate Matt Hardy tried to come down and interrupt the wedding, but a forcefield of flames kept him from getting to the altar. After the vows, Kane attacked Hardy and brutally chokeslammed him off the stage. As a result, Hardy was badly injured and was forced to take time off from Raw.

While Hardy was away, he learned that his long-time real life girlfriend, Lita, was having a sordid affair with Edge. Adding to an already emotional period, Matt was also released from WWE during the same time. It wasn’t long before information regarding the personal hell Matt was experiencing became public knowledge. His faithful followers began to make their voices heard at WWE events across the country. In fact, Matt points out the crowd’s reaction at Madison Square Garden at the April 12 Raw for starting his “movement.”

Unable to simply sit at the sidelines while his heart was wrenching, Matt started popping up uninvited at WWE events, wreaking havoc on Edge and Lita every chance he had. He even called in and crashed Lita’s Byte This! interview, confronting her about their tumultuous relationship. Not long after, Mr. McMahon said that Hardy was starting fires all over the place, and he couldn’t help but to pour gasoline on those fires by re-hiring Matt.

Upon his return, Hardy adopted a vicious focus that has been previously unmatched in his career. For several months in 2005, Matt made the lives of Lita and Edge a living hell, just as they did to him.

After clashing with Edge on several occasions including a classic steel cage bout at the 2005 Unforgiven which saw Hardy defeat Edge following a daring legdrop from the top of the cage, Hardy and Edge would meet one more time in a ladder match at the Raw Homecoming in October 2005. The battle would result in the two bitter rivals’ careers going in quite different directions. After taking Edge to the limit and nearing an end, Lita interjected herself in the match costing Matt not only the match but his spot on the Raw roster.

After joining SmackDown once again, Matt soon found himself tag team champions along with his rival, the then United States Champion, MVP. Although the pair were not the best of friends, they made very effective champions, even though MVP constantly insisted that he was the entire reason for it. Unfortunately for Matt, MVP's true motive for partnering with him was to keep him from challenging him to his beloved United States Championship. When Matt pushed the issue, MVP double-crossed him and caused Matt a serious injury, forcing him to leave SmackDown once again.

Upon returning from this injury, Matt not only cost MVP the Money in the Bank match at WrestleMania XXIV, but inevitability the United States Championship as well.

In 2008, Hardy was drafted to ECW as part of the WWE 2008 Draft. A few months later, at Unforgiven, Hardy satisfied his career-long hunger for a World Title when he won the ECW Championship Scramble Match against Mark Henry, Finlay, Chavo Guerrero and The Miz.

After dropping the ECW Title to Jack Swagger in January 2009, Hardy set his sights on teaching his brother, Jeff, a lesson. To do so, he asked to be released from the Extreme brand to allow a return to SmackDown.

After years of sustaining his "Will not die" mantra, it seemed Matt Hardy finally allowed a piece of himself to perish when he betrayed his brotherly bond with Jeff in 2009.Devoured by jealousy and resentment, Matt made it his mission to essentially destroy his sibling - a task that included a high speed car crash, a pyrotechnics backfire and a housefire that resulted in the demise of Jeff's own dog. Perhaps the greatest loss served to Jeff by his own blood, though, was his defeat to Matt at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania.

With a newly tailored look and attitude to match, Matt moved to Monday Night Raw in the 2009 Draft. Once again on his own, with Jeff's camaraderie swiftly severed, only sky is the limit for Matt Hardy.

Then, as part of the blockbuster trade following Donald Trump’s purchase then re-selling of Raw in June 2009 to The Chairman, Matt Hardy moved to SmackDown. What will unfold now that he’s back on Friday nights with brother, Jeff?




Name: Jeff Hardy

Height: 6 foot 1

Weight: 225 pounds

From: Cameron, N.C.

Signature Move: Swanton Bomb, Whisper in the Wind, Twist of Fate

Status: Inactive(on a break), Face

Career Highlights: World Tag Team Champion; Intercontinental Champion; Hardcore Champion; European Champion; Light Heavyweight Champion; WCW Tag Team Champion, WWE Champion, World Heavyweight Champion

Associates: Matt Hardy

WWE Debut: 1993

Trained By: Dory Funk, Jr., Michael Hayes

Histroy: Simply put, Jeff Hardy is an artist. His world revolves around writing “emoetry,” recording music (“alternative, alternative music,” according to his brother Matt), and employing tinfoil and paint to craft intimate, personal, and sometimes bizarre works of art. His house is decorated with toys, artificial plants and life-size Japanese fiberglass sculptures. One of his most cherished creations—a thirty-foot “Aluminummy” statue called Neroameee, from Nero, his middle name—stands tall outside his studio.

Still, this artist has always been drawn to another, very different canvas—that of the squared circle. Growing up with Matt in the pinewoods of Cameron, North Carolina, 11-year-old Jeff—influenced by the likes of Ric Flair, the Fabulous Freebirds, and the Rockers—took a ramp he built for his bike and painted it to resemble an entrance stage for his “wrestling ring,” the backyard trampoline. As he grew older, so did his desire to take greater risks, whether it was to feel the rush of executing hundred-foot-high triples on his motorcross bike, or jumping off the roof of his house as a member of the brothers’ “Teenage Wrestling Federation.” It was such fearlessness and desire that would bring the 16-year-old daredevil to World Wrestling Entertainment, and after several years catapult him to worldwide fame and main-event status, first as one-half of WWE’s high-flying “Team Extreme,” The Hardys, then in singles competition.

Though many of his paintings are abstract, this free spirit is a Rembrandt inside the ring, signing his name not with the traditional paintbrush or pen, but with wildly unorthodox, high-impact maneuvers off top ropes and 20-foot ladders. His credo is simple: to create, then surpass his creation.

Unfortunately, most true artists must sink to their lowest point before attaining their greatest heights. For Jeff, the wear-and-tear of living life on the road would help prompt him to leave WWE in 2003. But after a three-year personal journey of refocusing his passion and energies, he now finds himself “in a positive place…and that’s what motivates me.” Since returning to WWE in August 2006, this reinspired risk-taker has gone back to creating the art he loves most—entertaining WWE fans in arenas around the world. And his most extreme masterpiece awaits.

After coming close time after time in his quest to capture his first World Championship - including being forced out of the Survivor Series WWE Championship Triple Threat Match after being found unconscious in a hotel stairwell - Jeff Hardy earned yet another WWE Championship opportunity at Armageddon. After tying Triple H in a Beat the Clock Challenge on SmackDown, Hardy reigned supreme over both Edge and The Game, dropping the Swanton Bomb on the Rated-R Superstar in the culmination of an explosive championship Triple Threat Match.

In 2009, things got ugly between Jeff and brother Matt. Things came to a head when they battled at Backlash in an “I Quit Match,” which saw Jeff force his brother to utter those exact words in defeat.

At Extreme Rules, things were looking up for Jeff when he defeated Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship. However, CM Punk crushed Hardy’s dreams of gold when he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract, taking the title from Hardy.

Name:Christain

Height: 6-foot-2

From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Signature Move: Killswitch

Trained By: Ron Hutchinson

Career Highlights: ECW Champion; Intercontinental Champion; World Tag Team Champion; Light Heavyweight Champion; Hardcore Champion; European Champion

Status: Active, Face

History: Christian is smug, extremely confident and believes his very presence is a gift to sports-entertainment fans everywhere. Truth be told, he is a nine-time World Tag Team Champion and three-time Intercontinental Champion — and he won a championship in his very first WWE match. The date was Oct. 18, 1998 at the Judgment Day pay-per-view, where this long-haired, black-clad member of the faction known as the Brood beat Taka Michinoku for the Light Heavyweight Championship.

Not long after, Christian and Edge would form what would become one of the winningest and most outlandish tag teams in WWE history. Together they won the World Tag Team Championship on seven separate occasions. He’d later add two more tag championship reigns, once with Lance Storm and another with Chris Jericho.

The off-beat duo of “E & C” engineered some of WWE’s most memorably absurd moments. Their egomaniacal “five-second pose” morphed into a “37-second pose” for the benefit of those with flash photography, and Christian never allowed a shot without his signature giant-framed, bug-eyed sunglasses. They signed autographs — then charged for them. They tormented hometown crowds with skits belittling their beloved sports teams. And they never passed up an opportunity to mess with a nearby authority figure.

Together, Edge and Christian were masters of the “Conchairto” — sandwiching an opponent’s head between two steel chairs. The chair was their signature weapon; the Hardy Boyz were famous for flying off ladders; and the Dudleys were synonymous with tables. When the three clashed, TLC (Tables, Ladders and Chairs) was born.

No one can deny that Edge & Christian took part in many of WWE’s most famous and dangerous tag-team matches, including the Ladder Match at WrestleMania 2000; Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match at SummerSlam 2000; TLC II at WrestleMania X-Seven; and TLC III on the May 24, 2001 episode of SmackDown!

Things were great for the duo until King of the Ring 2001, which Edge won thanks to assistance from his ally. Captain Charisma would obsess over Edge’s trophy, often taking it from his hands mid-ring entrance and carrying it himself as if he were King.

In August at SummerSlam, Christian’s slight jealousy turned to full-blown discontent after watching his partner win the Intercontinental Championship. Captain Charisma tried to respond in kind by challenging for the now-defunct European Championship. But when that match went awry, Christian snapped, marking the end of their most-successful allegiance.

Christian’s first singles championship since his debut match came against his former partner at Unforgiven, where he took away the Intercontinental Championship. From there, the two would tangle in many memorable Intercontinental Championship matches, including a Ladder Match at No Mercy and a Steel Cage Match at Rebellion.

In addition, Christian won the Hardcore Championship at WrestleMania X8 and his second Intercontinental Championship at Judgment Day 2003, when he won a Battle Royal featuring all former Intercontinental Champions. The third time came against Booker T in August.

After a few years away from WWE, Christian returned during the Feb. 10, 2009 episode of ECW on Sci Fi, declaring his mission to ascend to the top of the Land of the Extreme. He accomplished that goal, winning the ECW Title from Jack Swagger. Even if he is not a champion, he will always be viewed as one in the eyes of his "peeps" and is sure to always be an asset to the extreme brand.



Name:Gregory Helms

Height: 6 foot

Weight: 215 pounds

From: Raleigh, N.C.

Signature Move: Shining Wizard

Career Highlights: Cruiserweight Champion; ECW reporter

Status: Active, Face

WWE Debut: July 2001

History: Prior to entering WWE, Helms was a star in WCW, where he held the Cruiserweight Champonship, a title he would once again hold after joining WWE, where he became the longest reigning Cruiserweight Champion in history. In 2007, Helms suffered a broken neck, which required that he spend the rest of the year and most of 2008 recovering from surgery.

During the 2009 WWE Supplemental Draft, ECW took the opportunity to bring Helms into the Land of the Extreme, where he has acted as a reporter, conducting interviews with many WWE Superstars.



Name: The Hurricane

Height: 6 foot

Weight: 215 pounds

From: Unknown

WWE Debut: August 2001

Career Highlights: Cruiserweight Champion; Hardcore Champion; European Champion; World Tag Team Champion

Status: Active, Face

History: When the WWE Universe is threatened by evil, only one masked crusader has the strength, the power, and the fortitude to defend it: The Hurricane!

Since making his daring debut in 2001, this mysterious masked man has assembled a list of titles so impressive you’d need super-strength to carry them all. The Hurricane has held the World Tag Team Titles with Kane and is no stranger to singles gold, having won the Cruiserweight, Hardcore and European Titles.

His time in the ring has seen the emerald-suited Superstar tangle with some of the biggest names in WWE, with his opponents often feeling the full force of a Category 5 Hurricane. Even legendary ring warriors such as The Rock have felt this superhero’s righteous fury, as The Hurricane was able to chokeslam The Most Electrifying Man in Sports-Entertainment (with a little help from “Stone Cold” Steve Austin).

More recently, The Hurricane swooped into the Land of the Extreme, where his true identity remains a well-guarded secret – though some of his opponents believe there to be a striking similarity between ECW’s superhero and the show’s resident reporter, Gregory Helms. Whoever hides behind The Hurricane’s mask, one thing is for certain: Those with evil intentions best stand back: There’s a Hurricane coming through!



Name: R-Truth

Height: 6 foot 2

Weight: 228 pounds

From: Charlotte, North Carolina

Status: Active, Face

Histrory: R-Truth knows all about hard times. Growing up in the rough neighborhoods of Charlotte, N.C., he admits he made some bad decisions in the past. But, R-Truth believes those choices have sculpted him into a much more formidable opponent in the ring.

For Truth, his talent is a blessing. He believes he has been given a second chance in life and has no intentions on wasting it. After spending some time in prison, Truth realized that a change was needed from within to get away from a life of crime – a change that has brought him to WWE and a much more positive life. Truth wanted to keep far away from the path he took growing up and WWE turned out to be his light at the end of the tunnel.

Truth calls WWE “a new struggle, but a welcome struggle.” He has spent years working on his craft and is ready to open the eyes of the WWE Universe to “the Truth.”

Since making his debut in WWE, Truth has electrified the members of the WWE Universe young and old, both with his high-octane style inside the ring and his explosive rap entrance that makes his fans stand up and shout "What's up!"



Name: Yoshi Tatsu

Height: 6-foot-1

Weight: 230 pounds

From: Gifu, Japan

WWE Debut: June 30, 2009

Status: Active, Face

History: Yoshi Tatsu arrived in the Land of the Extreme as part of ECW's New Superstar Initiative during late June 2009. The Japanese Superstar made an impressive debut. In his first match, Tatsu defeated Shelton Benjamin with one swift kick and a pin after plenty of taunting and teasing from The Gold Standard. Tatsu quickly became a favorite of the WWE Universe. Showing off his extraordinary kicks and exciting style, Tatsu never fails to entertain the WWE Universe Tuesdays on ECW on Syfy.



Name: Evan Borune

Height: 5 foot 9

Weight: 183 pounds

From: St. Louis

WWE Debut: June 10, 2008

Status: Active, Face


History: Evan Bourne is a high-flying ring technician whose fast-paced intensity is quickly making him a force to be reckoned with throughout WWE.

While growing up in St. Louis, it was Superstars such as Bret Hart, Dean Malenko, Rey Mysterio, and Eddie Guerrero that first instilled in young Bourne a desire to make audiences feel the way he did while watching them.

Later, he became a hardcore ECW fan, admiring such greats as Tazz, Sabu, and RVD. And it was while traveling to ECW events that he captured his first taste of the live, unbridled sports-entertainment intensity that he would never let go of.

Bourne started training to be a professional wrestler at 17 years old. Before long, he had become the first person under the age of 18 to be licensed to wrestle in state of Missouri. It was during his very first match, while connecting with a difficult moonsault, that a familiar feeling washed over him and left no doubt in his mind that he was doing what he was meant to do.



While, continuing to learn all he could about the business, Bourne attended college, earning a degree in marketing from the University of Missouri-Columbia. He went on to become the vice president of sales and marketing for a small mailbox company in St. Louis. But, during his time, his company allowed all the time he wanted to travel and train. They knew, as did he, that his destiny lay in the ring.

Bourne’s quest to join WWE eventually took him all over United States, Europe and Japan. During this time, he became very accomplished, winning several honors including St. Louis’ Wrestler of the Year in 2006 and Move of the Year in 2007 for his Shooting Star Press.

In 2008, Bourne blasted onto the ECW scene, giving the WWE Universe an exciting combination of Mexican, Japanese, and American training styles that has made him both a dangerous high-flyer and a sound ground technician.

Now that Bourne has been traded to Raw, it will be interesting to see how he adjusts his high-flying arsenal against a new crop of opponents. Who knows, maybe this change will lead him to his own golden opportunity.



Name: Kofi Kingston

Weight: 221 pounds

From: Jamaica

Signature Move: Trouble in Paradise

Career Highlights: Intercontinental Championship; World Tag Team Championship; United States Championship

Status: Active, Face

WWE Debut: Jan. 22, 2008

History: Hailing from the tropical climate of the Caribbean, Jamaican Superstar Kofi Kingston brings unique in-ring abilities, style and lingo to Raw.

For weeks, WWE fans were offered a glimpse into Kingston’s island paradise where the vibrant Superstar took troublesome matters into his own capable hands. Mixing it up with his lightning quick arsenal while maintaining his bright, amiable smile, Kofi undoubtedly made ECW his own private Island of the Extreme.

Kofi first engaged in a series of matches against Shelton Benjamin. Although he had done incredibly well in them, Benjamin is responsible for giving Kingston his first loss in WWE. Rather than slowing him down, this has only inspired Kofi to work harder and do even better in the future.

The day after defeating ECW's Gold Standard in an Extreme Rules Match, Kofi Kingston was randomly drafted to Raw in the Supplemental Draft on June 25. Since then, the Jamaican Superstar made an impact on Monday nights, first winning the Intercontinental Championship from Chris Jericho, then becoming World Tag Team Champion with CM Punk.

Whatever the future holds for the Jamaican Superstar, he has taken the WWE Universe by storm.

Name: Mickie James

From: Richmond, Va.

Signature Move: Implant DDT

Career Highlights: Women's Champion, Diva's Champion

Status: Active, Face

WWE Debut: 2005

History: When asked to describe Mickie James in three words, the trio of smart, beautiful and talented quickly comes to mind.

An honors student who played the violin as a child, it was ironically a failed Trigonometry class in high school that sent Mickie into the wrestling world instead of college. Of course, being the diligent woman that she is, Mickie did go on to get her college education, earning an associate’s degree in business administration and working on her bachelor’s all while traveling the world as a WWE Diva.

Still, it was a long road from childhood dream to World Champion. After training in Virginia, Mickie worked the independent circuit for several years, learning everything she could from such Legends as Ricky Steamboat, Ricky Morton and Bobby Eaton along the way. Finally, after nearly a decade of paying her dues, Mickie made it to WWE, where she has stepped into the ring both with and against long-time idols like Trish Stratus on the way to becoming a multiple-time Women’s Champion.

There is one thing Mickie likes almost as much as being a WWE Diva, however: horses. Mickie has ridden since age 11, when her grandmother bought her a horse named Rhapsody. She spent hours on her grandmother’s farm with Rhapsody and her other horses even to this day, and when her days of being a Diva wind down, she holds aspirations to own a farm and become an equine trainer.



Fortunately for our fans, that goal is far ahead in the distance…as long as Mickie has something to say about it, anyway.

“I’m so glad that my path led me to where I am today, because I can’t imagine doing anything else,” Mickie has said in the past.

And as long as she can continue to make her dreams come true, there’s no doubt that she can become one of the most recognized and decorated Divas in WWE history.




Name: Gail Kim

Career Highlights: Women's Championship

Status: Active, Face

History: Gail Kim began her WWE career with a firestorm of momentum, winning a Divas Battle Royal in her debut match to capture the coveted Women's Championship. She then spent the next year and a half battling the best Divas in WWE. She soon anointed herself as a "wrestling submission specialist."

Kim reemerged on SmackDown on March 27, 2009, poised to once again make some noise in the squared-circle. She immediately interrupted a Divas Championship Match between Maryse & Michelle McCool, leaving both Divas at her feet as she held Maryse’s title high above her head.

After being traded to Raw, Kim will now have the opportunity to exhibit her skills on Monday nights, and perhaps, become the next Divas Champion



Name: Kelly Kelly

From: Jacksonville, Fla.

Career Highlights: "Kelly's Exposé" on ECW on Sci Fi

Status: Active, Face

History: When she debuted on June 13, 2006, Kelly Kelly became the youngest Diva in all of WWE. A self-proclaimed exhibitionist, she put on shows dubbed “Kelly Kelly’s Exposé” for our fans and won several body competitions.

After an ugly break-up with Mike Knox, Kelly clinged to a pair of equally spicy Divas, including Layla. The trio billed themselves as Extreme Exposé, though they would go their separate ways when The Miz, who owned the Divas' contracts, promised to make Kelly's life a living hell if she dated Balls Mahoney. Ignoring the Superstars' warnings, the blonde suffered the consequences, though she has proven herself in the ring while fending off any attacks from The Miz, Layla or anybody else.



Name: Maryse

From: Montreal, Quebec

Career Highlights: Diva's Champion; participant in the 2006 Diva Search; appeared in 'Playboy'

Status: Injured, Heel

WWE Debut: 2006 Diva Search

History: Maryse, a finalist in the 2006 edition of the Diva Search competition was Drafted on April 13 and joined the Raw roster as one of the Sexiest Women on Television ... bringing with her the Divas Championship.

A native of the Great White North, Maryse boasts an impressive resume that includes an appearance in Playboy.

The sultry Diva prides herself on being a fashion snob and enjoys belittling people any chance she gets, as can be seen in her sexy, albeit "I'm better than you," entrance. But there's substance behind this French beauty, when she beat Michelle McCool, the first-ever Divas Champion on Dec. 26, 2008, making her Christmas present from Santa some championship gold.



Name: Melina

From: Los Angeles

Status: Active, Face

WWE Debut: April 2005

History: With her signature ring entrance of a sexy split, Melina began her career as a fashion model.

But the wrestling bug bit the Los Angeles native in 2000, when she began training at the School of Hard Knocks in San Bernardino, Calif. She continued to work various wrestling shows, honing her in-ring abilities. In January 2002, Tom Prichard took notice of Melina, where she would work out with WWE while they were on the West Coast -- sometimes driving 14 hours.

Her dream was finally realized in 2003, when WWE signed her in San Diego. Two Women's Championship reigns later, Melina is still a force to be reckoned with in the women's division. She credits the experience of training hard with both men and women for making her tougher and stronger. You simply must take the hits and keep on going.

"I was always told I was too short, too fat, too small, too ugly or not good enough. People would tell me every negative comment under the moon, and that I would never make it," Melina wrote in her WWE.com exclusive blog. "I kept going. I knew in my heart that I could make it, and that I was meant for this. My love for wrestling and my determination got me through everything I had to endure."

In 2009, Melina was drafted to SmackDown, bringing the coveted Women's Championship with her




Name: Maria

Height: 5'7

Career Highlights: Competed in the 2004 Raw Diva Search, Raw backstage interviewer, hosts WWE Kiss Cam, featured every month in WWE Magazine

Status: Active, Face

WWE Debut: 2004

History: She’s bubbly, she’s beautiful and she’s an object of desire for many men. She’s Maria, and she’s darn proud to call herself a WWE Diva. While many may think she’s ditzy or absent-minded, there’s one thing that’s well-known: she’s hot.

But hey, she wouldn’t have it any other way. Maria has won many beauty pageants in her time, but she’s not just all beauty. From kickboxing to sewing to dancing to working on cars, Maria’s areas of expertise make her one of the best-rounded Divas in WWE.

After years of entering beauty pageants and an education at Northern Illinois University, the Ottawa, Ill., native struck it big by nearly making it to the end of the 2004 Diva Search. While she didn’t win, our fans felt an immediate connection to her, and she quickly made her way to Raw as a backstage interviewer who wasn’t afraid to ask any question, from the hard-hitting to the quirkily obvious. And of course, she looks great doing it, perhaps no more so than when Eugene doused her with chocolate milk after winning the World Tag Team Championship that year.

Since her debut in WWE, however, Maria’s role has expanded by leaps and bounds. At first, she was tentative to step into the ring, but to this day she continues to learn the ropes and develop into an exciting and skilled performer. She also can be seen (or read, as it may be) lending her auto expertise to our fans in her very own WWE Magazine column every month.

If there’s one other thing for sure about Maria, though, it’s that while she radiates beauty, the girl her friends call “Boop” won’t stop honing her craft until she wears the Women’s gold around her waist. So watch out all you stars and studs in the locker room, because you never know when you’re going to get your dose of Maria.



Name: Katie Lea Burchill

From: Chelsea, England

Associates: Paul Burchill (brother)

Status: Active, Heel

WWE Debut: Feb. 11, 2008

History: Katie Lea Burchill seems to be a woman who knows what she wants. Most importantly, Katie Lea likes to get what she wants – and her “most brutal, most vicious, most beautiful” (her words, not ours) brother, Paul, loves to make her happy.

Hailing from Chelsea, England, Katie Lea knows how to command attention. From the way she eases her way under the bottom rope into the ring to the way she cradles a microphone, she oozes sensuality. Her eyes pierce the soul. And Katie Lea knows that she and her brother make an attractive pair; she’ll tell you herself that they are a product of “good genes.”

But what else does Katie Lea want? We know she derives vicarious pleasure from watching her brother dish out pain, but is this enough? Would she rather make herself happy in a more direct fashion? Katie Lea is not just Paul Burchill’s little sister – she’s a bona-fide athlete. She has been trained for the squared circle in her native England. Katie Lea has chosen not to showcase her in-ring skills and target the Women’s Championship – for now. But if she ever does, watch out. Because what Katie wants, Katie gets.
