Not until recent years, professional wrestling has always been a male-dominated industry. Almost every promotion in the business gave most of the significant spots on their cards to their male wrestlers and gave the female wrestlers lesser spots and pay.
But the situation has changed now as the female wrestlers have stepped up to the game and are both earning and getting equal exposure as the male wrestlers.
WWE also had a similar structure back in the day and called their female superstars “Divas” for a long time. But even then, some wrestlers like Trish Stratus, Lita, Mickie James, and many others rose up to the occasion and gave the male wrestlers tough competition.
With that said, let’s take a closer look at some former WWE female wrestlers’ personal lives and see five of those who are now mothers and five who have no children.
WWE has produced special moments that fans will never forget, but also some awful ones. Nobody can defend these absolutely horrible booking ideas.
