NOT only is WWE Diva Maria charming, gorgeous and fun, she is also 100 per cent natural.
The grappler has turned Playboy cover girl for a shoot that includes this stunning picture.
And she told The Sun: “I’m all natural except my red hair — and I think that red shows my spirit and heart.
“Posing nude was very empowering. WWE Divas show our strength in the ring but we show our sex appeal and sweetness in shoots like this.
“I’m very comfortable in my own skin, I think every woman should be.

If you like tomboys — albeit hot ones — you’ll love Maria Kanellis, better known to her fans as the WWE’s Diva Maria. The svelte and super-sexy auburn-haired RAW star kicks butt in the ring. She even fessed up in the April 2008 issue of Playboy to driving an Aston Martin Vanquish over 100 miles per hour on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago.
But she’s also a bit of a girlie girl — just check out her April Playboy magazine pictorial. “I wanted a black hood to wear for the shoot,” she says. “It gets me in the mode.” So when she didn’t see one there, she took the initiative to sew one herself. “Everything I wore in the Playboy magazine shoot, I chose.” Though hoodies and lacy gloves are her signature look inside the squared circle, we know there’s more to being a Diva than just looking good: “I have a few signature moves,” she says. “One is the beautiful bulldog: It’s when I have a girl in a headlock, and I jump up and land on my butt, and I drive her head into the mat. After that, she’s done. There’s another thing I do, when I throw a girl in the corner, and I hit her with my bum, and then she falls down. [Laughs] And I do this thing called the bronco buster — I jump up and down on the girl in the corner.”
To heat things up a little more, Playboy.com caught up with the Illinois native, to talk crazy groupies, even crazier places to have sex and, of course, wrestling — in and out of the ring. “Wrestling is definitely sexy,” Maria says, “especially when it’s two ladies.” We agree it’s a winning formula.
Sexual Content, mature eyes only.. but if you read on remember you were prewarned.

Why I checked out Maria’s pics
By PAUL HEYMAN
OK, I admit it.
I checked out the Maria Kanellis edition of Playboy Magazine – and my decision to look past the front cover had absolutely nothing to do with a desire to read the articles.
Much like millions of others, I was more than eager to check out the pictures of my friend from Ottawa, Illinois.
