#4. Former WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Carmella

Carmella is a second-generation WWE Superstar after her father Paul Van Dale wrestled for the company as a jobber throughout the 1990s.

The former women's champion initially looked to start her career in 2010 when she applied for Tough Enough, but later withdrew her application when she was accepted as a Laker Girl.

Three years later, Carmella was signed by the company and made her debut the following year in a segment with Enzo Amore and Big Cass. Whilst working as a manager for the duo, she was able to continue her training and later slot into the Women's Division.

The former NXT Superstar was then promoted to the main roster in 2016 and went on to become the first-ever Miss Money in the Bank. Carmella is now a former SmackDown Women's Champion and was even used as one of the main cast members on Total Divas for several years.

Carmella is currently one-half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions alongside Queen Zelina on Monday Night RAW.
