10 Most Heated WWE Diva Rivalries

6. Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2hq3oEWSF4 What started as a rivalry over which Divas was the hottest on SmackDown turned into an intensely personal feud that saw Dawn Marie target Torrie Wilson's father, Al, and destroy their father-daughter bond forever. Dawn Marie began courting Al Wilson following a bikini contest loss to Torrie in October of 2002. What started as a personal attack turned into a sick and twisted mind game on Dawn's part. She rubbed her relationship with Torrie's father in the beautiful blonde's face every chance she got. She smiled with great glee when Torrie walked in on her and Al in the shower. She showed off her engagement ring to Torrie and made sure the wedding to Al was broadcast on a special live episode of SmackDown. Torrie gained revenge the best way she knew how: She beat Dawn in wrestling matches, Trick-or-Treat matches, costume contests and lingerie contests. She handled things her way, knowing full well that her father was a grown man and capable of making his own decisions, no matter how flawed they may have been. Torrie even sacrificed her own pride, agreeing to meet Dawn Marie in a hotel room and partake in a segment (aired in December of 2002 at Armageddon) that featured heavy lesbian overtones, under the assumption that Dawn would honor her promise to breakup with Al. Of course, that did not happen and the wedding went on as planned. On January 9, one week after the ceremony, footage from Dawn and Al's honeymoon aired on SmackDown. In it, Al suffered a heart attack and died. That was the moment that the angle jumped the proverbial shark. The funeral footage, a low point for WWE creative, as well as the Royal Rumble match between Torrie and her rival, wrapped the story up before it really overstayed its welcome.
