#3 Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch

Currently one of the biggest names in women's wrestling, it can be said that Becky Lynch has made it big. One of three women to be in the first-ever women's wrestling main event at WrestleMania, Lynch is well known throughout and beyond the wrestling world.

As a part of WWE's Four Horsewomen, she is practically wrestling royalty.

However, reaching this place in her life was a huge journey, that took her a long time. Early in her life, she was talented in sports, but she was stuck with the wrong crowd due to which she experimented with marijuana and drinking. She was able to give this up after meeting Finn Balor and soon started to wrestle, turning her life around.

However, even after starting her wrestling career, her troubles were far from over. In September 2006. she suffered a legitimate injury to her head in Germany while wrestling. This resulted in her suffering from headaches, buzzing in her left ear, as well as a loss of vision.

She was diagnosed with damage to her eighth cranial nerve. She took a six-year hiatus from wrestling, only coming back properly in 2011, soon after which she signed a development deal with NXT.

She has won the Women's championship four times in the WWE cementing her legacy as one of the toughest Divas in WWE history.
