It’s hard to believe that we are coming up to 1000 episodes of Raw. On July 23rd, WWE celebrates its milestone 1,000th episode on USA Network and to celebrate, over the next month we’re going to be asking you to crown the Greatest Raw Diva Ever!
The Diva Dirt team has compiled a list of 32 women who we feel have played a memorable role in at least one of the last 900-something episodes of the flagship Monday night show, and we’re asking you to whittle the list down to just one woman.
Of course, with just 32 spaces in Round 1, we couldn’t include every Diva who has made an appearance on Raw, so before you ask “Where is Michelle McCool/Natalya/insert other Diva here”, please take that into consideration. With just 32 spots, we had to pick the Divas who we felt had at least one memorable moment on Monday Night Raw.
As we count down to July 23rd, each week we will be cutting the list in half; next week we reveal the top 16, then the top 8, 4, 2 and finally, the winner. The Greatest Raw Diva Ever will be announced on Monday, July 23rd exclusively here at Diva Dirt!
You can help support your favorite Diva on the list by plugging this page on your Facebook and Twitter pages. Be sure to use the hashtag #GreatestRawDivaEver on Twitter!
Voting is now open for Round 1, so hop to it!
Stay tuned for the Round 1 results and Round 2 voting next week.

Trying to sound the least markish way i can about this but I’m surprised Gail isn’t on this, considering she had a very memorable & historic moment on Raw.
Trying to pick from this list is so bloody hard though :/

Indeed. Just how could they. I mean, no offence to any fans, but if you’re gonna list Ashley, or even Terri, you should mention a woman who won the title on her debut night.

They forgot about Fabulous Moolah,Gail Kim,Sensational Sherri,Ryan Shamrock,and Tori AKA Terri Powers.Whenever Mae Young goes that Fabulous is surely right beside her.Ryan Shamrock,Jacqueline,and Terri Runnels was known as Pretty Mean Sisters (PMS) and this way before the movie Mean Girls.

well Moolah never had any memorable moments during her 2nd WWF run. Of course from the 50s – 80s she was the Queen of the ring, but this was long before RAW. When she feuded with Ivory, it was on Smackdown so any memorable moments go there.
Meanwhile, Mae had lots on RSW without Moolah. Being put through a table twice, the 16 diva tag, taking on LayCool, giving sex tips to Stephanie (lmao).
As for Terri’s memorable moments, hardcore champion, Bubba putting her through a table, also her risque character Marlena back in ’96 was a huge driving force of the Attitude Era and the Divas division. She was also the pioneer of those Diva location bikini shoots (Sex on the Beach etc.)

No Sensational Sherri? :O She was involved in the 1st ever women’s segment on raw! That awesome catfight with Luna Vachon! Sherri’s name should be here. & Kharma!

For me it is Mickie James.

I can’t decide between 14 of them this one is tough maybe you should put them in categories like best wrestler best manager and best interviewer

Oh I agree with you so wholeheartedly that each Diva belongs in their own catergories like you said like the best wrestler,the best manager,and the best interviewer

ok i will have to go with Lita she won the womens title twice main eventing raw and i believe shes the diva that had the most man event status whether its being in a match herself or coming with someone to the ring
plus she has had other things live sex wedding the crowd always reacted to her

It was between Lita, Candice Michelle (milf) and Victoria for me… Had to go with Victoria though :D

I had to vote for Sunny just because she was really the start of it all in terms of the word WWE “Diva” But Trish and Lita took it to a whole new level

WHERE IS JILLIAN?!
She has a record on shortest Divas title reign that happen on Raw!

Definitely my all time favorite diva, Ms. Trish Stratus <3
at
Lita will always be my favorite diva in and out of wrestling.
at
Trish will win
at
Jazz never failed to entertain me therefore she gets my vote.
at
WOW!! Tough decision. maybe brackets would have been better. 2 divas every couple of days or something
Under these rules though I went with my gal Mickie but 2 or 3 others were close to getting my vote

I voted for Stacy. She wasn’t the best wrestler, but she always received a great reaction from the crowd, and even took over from Trish for Diva of the Year at one point. She’ll always be a sentimental favorite for me, as she is from my hometown of Baltimore.

Stacy did a lot on Raw.. From Shane to the Dudleyz to Test to her feuds with Molly and such all the way to her time with Orton.. Stacy may not have been very active in matches but she was on the show each week in some form.
I voted for her also since Jillian was left off, but I can understand why, sadly.

Stacy just had that something that … you just couldn’t ignore her. At least a few wrestling blogs have described her as “leggy but useless” during her time in WWE (she refused to learn how to wrestle and tended to overshadow the guys she managed), but people didn’t care. Just put her out in front of the crowd and they’d go wild for her.

My favorite has to be Trish Stratus

sable.. the original diva :’)

Hi Everyone Im New To This lol,
Well Gotta Say my Favorite Diva Of All Times Would Have To The Paparazzi Queen Melina. :)

Trish obviously. If it wasn’t for her creating so many amazing moments on Raw, I don’t think diva fans today would keep holding on to hope that maybe someday those amazing moments will return.

I know right she was the one who got the fans intrested in the divas and gave faith to the divas.

yes that is so true Trish pushed them to make the divas get noticed to the point everyone wanted to see what would happen every week on raw. lets face it she had amazing fueds with Lita, Victoria, Mickie James, Jazz, Stephanie, Stacey & Torrie, Terri, And Molly Holly. Most of those fueds made memorable moments for all those divas and her because she was apart of it *ON RAW* so i feel like that makes her the greatest raw diva.

Now we all know the winner is Trish Stratus. Like seriously this woman has been on damn near every raw episode since she debuted, She has been pushed to the maximum limit. The woman won the championship 7 times some of which has taken place on raw. She had the best feuds. You couldn’t name a good diva feud with out naming Trish. Yea some may say Lita. I love Lita but she hasn’t done as much as Trish. If it wasn’t for that injury that took her out for I think a year and a half, she’d be up there. All I’m saying is forget who you thought wrestled better and who was so funny as a heel. Think about who was the most consistent, contributed the most and who has never failed at entertaining the crowd.

I voted for Candice Ichelle she is my 2nd all time favorite wrestler ever!! Of course Trish is my first fave I grew up with Trish and idolizing her :) but I know she can win this without y vote I wanted Cadice to at leasr get further she worked her ass off to be one of the best I remember after Trish leftI didnt know who I would wtch and care for and then I saw the determination in Candice and saw the fire and how she wntedto be seen as a threat and a wrestler she had broken bones nd took the risk and showed that she wasnt just a model or pretty face or just eye candy but a legit wrestler and a threat to every woman in that roster and she busted her ass for that Womes title and she had amzing moments on raw and thats why I voted for her :) Love mygirls Trish Stratus and Candice Michelle!!!

THIS WAS SUPPER HARD LOL
however, i voted for Sable,
for me it is either the Original diva Sable or Diva of the Decade Trish Stratus, both are legendary and left there marks in the 90s, and the Golden Era

MICKIE JAMES <3
