7 Women Who Left WWE Because Of Their Wrestling Partners

7. Layla

The stint of a WWE women's wrestler on average is five or six years. Believe it or not, Layla lasted longer than most. She started with the company in 2006 as part of the Diva Search, won it, and went on to hold the Women's Champonship as well as the Divas Championship over the next nine years.

While she was never the greatest wrestler, she did show incredible improvement over time in the ring as well as on the mic. Rather, she will be best remembered for her dance-offs with the Extreme Exposé, her LayCool partnership with Michelle McCool, and her short-lived fling with Fandango.

After not seeing much in-ring action for nearly two years, Layla announced her retirement from wrestling in July 2015, effectively ending her near-nine year tenure with the company. Not only had she accomplished everything she set out to do inside the squared circle, but she was set to be wed to her fiancé Richard Young, best known to WWE fans as Ricky Ortiz.

Layla's time with WWE was likely coming to an end anyway with the new crop of women coming up from NXT, but it's possible she would have stuck around a little longer if she wasn't planning her November wedding with The Latin Assassin.
