#3 Former WWE Superstar & Women's Champion Lita
WWE Superstar Lita is one of the most influential female athletes in the company's history. A four-time Women's Champion, Lita was a prominent part of WWE during the Attitude Era, which was arguably the best time to be a wrestling fan.
However, after returning from a neck injury in 2002, her career slowed down, as she found herself featured in other Superstars' rivalries.

Though Lita did have a few runs with the title during this time, the WWE Superstar retired from in-ring action at the relatively young age of 31 to pursue her interest in music.
Once Lita was out of WWE, she shifted her focus to her music band 'The Luchagors', the name of which was a homage to Lucha Libre. Even during her last WWE match at Survivor Series 2006, Lita wore a T-Shirt of her band, clearly indicating what lied ahead for her. The band released their only album in 2007, which was a self-titled studio venture. It was received moderately well, as it had around 10,000 downloads on iTunes.
Though Lita announced in 2012 that the band would release another album later in the year, nothing transpired, and the band dissolved in 2014 after an unsuccessful tour in the UK.
