WWE Diva Maria Kanellis may not look very threatening, but put her in a wrestling ring and she’ll prove otherwise. One of the most popular up-and-coming WWE superstars, she battled in her first “Wrestlemania” match on March 31, 2008 in Orlando. Maria has yet to hoist any gold, but she can now say she is a Playboy cover girl after posing in the April 2008 issue.

Others who made the list were Candice Michelle and Stacy Keibler who both ranked higher then Maria.
