5 current female WWE Superstars who once worked as models

#1. Former WWE Divas Champion Maryse was a model

Maryse has been away from the WWE ring for a long time now. However, she is still a major part of the company and has her own reality TV show known as Miz & Mrs.

The two-time Divas Champion has been with the company for over fifteen years now and has had some good matches and rivalries with top superstars. Before she became a wrestler, Maryse modeled for several different companies. She started modeling at a young age and tried to make it big by competing in different beauty pageants.

In 2003, Maryse won Miss Hawaiian Tropic Canada and she finished as the runner-up in the International Finals of Miss Hawaiian Tropic 2004.

Speaking to WWE.com, Maryse revealed that it was very difficult for her to overcome professional jealousy early in her career:

“When I started in this business, I was 15 years old, and no matter the places I went, there were always really negative people around. There’s a lot of competition and jealousy. I learned that you have to just believe in what you’re doing.”
