In pro­fes­sion­al wrestling, a di­va is a re­cent term used by World Wrestling En­ter­tain­ment for a beau­ti­ful wom­an em­ployed pri­mar­i­ly as eye can­dy, but some­times as a wrestler as well. Al­though "di­va" is a re­cent­ly-​coined term in the wrestling com­mu­ni­ty, pro­mo­tions have been us­ing wom­en as man­agers or wrestlers for years.

It is un­clear as to whether "bit parts" played by wom­en, such as The God­fa­ther's "hos" qual­i­fy as Di­vas. It is al­so not clear if the term ap­plies retroac­tive­ly to wrestling "valets" such as Miss Eliz­a­beth or Madusa.

His­to­ry
Per­haps the first "di­va" in pro­fes­sion­al wrestling his­to­ry was Tam­my Lynn Sytch, bet­ter known in the WWF un­der her per­form­ing name "Sun­ny". The Sun­ny char­ac­ter was a man­ag­er of var­i­ous wrestlers in the WWF. Al­though the fe­male man­age­ri­al role was not a new con­cept in pro­fes­sion­al wrestling, the Sun­ny char­ac­ter brought a sex­u­al­i­ty to the po­si­tion that had sel­dom been seen in the busi­ness be­fore.

Af­ter Sytch left the WWF, Re­na Mero, known to WWF fans as "Sable" took the role of the promi­nent fe­male per­former in the pro­mo­tion. Orig­i­nal­ly a man­ag­er for wrestler Marc Mero, she quick­ly eclipsed Marc Mero in pop­u­lar­i­ty, in part by wear­ing in­creas­ing­ly re­veal­ing out­fits to the ring. Her pop­u­lar­i­ty lead to the re-​in­state­ment of the WWE Wom­en's Cham­pi­onship, as well as the hir­ing of more fe­male per­form­ers by the pro­mo­tion. It was around the time of the height of her pop­u­lar­i­ty that the term "di­va" was used by the WWF to la­bel its fe­male per­son­al­i­ties.

Al­though Sable would leave the WWF af­ter sev­er­al years, the WWF would sign many more fe­male per­form­ers dur­ing and af­ter her em­ploy­ment with the com­pa­ny -​ in­clud­ing cur­rent no­table di­vas Tr­ish Stra­tus, Sta­cy Keibler, and Tor­rie Wil­son.
