6. Victoria
Victoria was one of the more overlooked and underrated WWE Divas during the Ruthless Aggression Era. She was not the typical WWE Diva with toughness mixed with an eccentric personality and jet black hair. The crazy shtick was all hers during that time and she wore it well. Her finisher The Widow’s Peak was one of the more devastating finishers in the Women’s Division.
She captured the WWE Women’s Championship for the first time in 2002 in a Hardcore match with Trish Stratus at Survivor Series. Victoria was one of the opponents who made Stratus better in the ring and added to the great career she has had. Stratus won the Championship back from her months later, and would dethrone Victoria much later during her second reign as Women’s Champion.
Victoria not only competed in some Hardcore matches but she would be the one to take on Lita in the first-ever Women’s Steel Cage match in WWE history. Thanks to Eric Bischoff’s Raw Roulette in 2003, the match was a spur of the moment type of thing and at that time Victoria and Lita were the two best women to put in that match. Victoria would go on to win that match.
