6. Eve Torres

Before the "Women's Evolution," there was the Divas division, and Eve Torres played as important a role as anyone in making women's wrestling matter for the six years she was around.

Eve appeared to be just another pretty face upon winning the 2007 Diva Search but quickly proved she was determined to hone her skills and elevate the division to the best of her ability. Sure enough, she captured the Divas Championship within two years of her main roster debut and went on to hold it another two times in the remainder of her WWE career.

Her heel work at the tail end of her run was especially excellent and earned her a prominent position on Raw for the entirety of 2012. She departed WWE at the onset of 2013 before she could enjoy the fruits of her labor and work with any of the up-and-coming talent down in NXT.

Between the 2013 Slammy Awards and the Evolution pre-show, Eve has made a number of televised appearances for WWE over the last seven years in an ambassador role but has yet to lace up the boots again. The least WWE could do is feature her in a women's Royal Rumble, assuming she'd be up for it.

Considering she's married to Rener Gracie, it's safe to assume she's kept in great shape since leaving wrestling and would be able to hold her own in a Rumble.
