There are a number of female wrestlers who were able to wrestle under their given names in WWE

#2. Former WWE Women's Champion Layla

Layla won the 2006 Diva Search and went on to become the final WWE Women's Champion before the title was retired in favor of the Divas Championship in 2008.

Layla was the first British-born female wrestler to become Women's Champion and was a popular star in the company for several years. She came into WWE as part of the annual Diva Search, which meant she retained her given name when hired.
