Today we present you with 7 WWE Valets who outshined their wrestlers
7: Trish Stratus
When Trish Stratus joined the WWF in early 2000, the Canadian fitness model was paired with Test and Albert.
Ironically named T&A before Impact Wrestling even existed,
the name was a not-so-PG reference to a woman's body, as the focus was clearly on Stratus.
Though Test and Albert had both been in the company for a while, neither had done much as singles stars
so adding some spice to their tag team in the form of Stratus made perfect sense.
The only problem was that Stratus' natural heel charisma and raw sex appeal made her the focus of the group,
whilst Test and Albert themselves became an afterthought.
To be fair to Stratus, it wasn't her fault that fans were more interested in her than her clients,
as T&A had very little chemistry together, and the group became just another lumbering big man team.
Simply put, T&A was doomed from the start, and probably would have split even faster
After splitting, Stratus would go on to become arguably the biggest female star in wrestling history,
winning seven Women's Championships before retiring this year.
As for Test and Albert, though both men would receive sporadic pushes over the years,
neither was elevated past the mid-card for the remained of their careers.
6: Sunny
The original Diva, it's hard to think of any valet who outshined their clients
The team of Skip and Zip, the Bodydonnas were a pair of heel fitness fanatics
who would use aerobics to taunt opponents, and despite their incredibly lame gimmick, were very successful,
thanks in part to their manager Sunny.
With Sunny by their side, the team captured the WWF Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 12,
though despite this big win, it was clear who was the real star of the team.
Sunny's natural bubbly personality and clear knowledge for what worked shined through on screen,
and the fact that she was incredibly stunning didn't hurt either.
At the height of her popularity, AOL claimed that Sunny was the most downloaded celeb online in 1996.
As her spotlight grew though, less fans showed interest in Skip and Zip,
who would quickly be seen as Sunny's sidekicks, instead of the other way around.
As the company's original Diva, Sunny would become one of the company's most popular acts,
and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011.
By comparison, the Bodydonnas have been all but forgotten by the majority of wrestling fans,
and though Skip, Sunny's real life boyfriend at the time would have success in ECW as Chris Candido,
in the WWE, it was Sunny who stole the show.
Though she may be best remembered as a part of Team Extreme with the Hardy Boyz,
Lita first got her big break in the World Wrestling Federation as the valet of Essa Rios.
With her red hair and tattoos, Lita was unlike any other woman on the roster at the time, as she
promoted an alternative lifestyle that many Attitude Era fans were following themselves.
Not just that, Lita was also an incredible athlete, and borrowed many moves from Rios' move-set,
including hurricanranas and moonsaults, moves that had never been seen by women in the WWF.
Before long, it was clear that Lita was significantly more popular than the man
she accompanied to the ring, and the decision was made to split the pairing up.
This split came on the May 25th 2000 edition, when the former Light Heavyweight Champion
turned on Lita, power bombing the future Hall of Famer after he lost a match.
Being rescued by Matt and Jeff Hardy, Lita would become a member of Team Extreme,
whilst Rios' star would never rise any higher in the company before
his release from the company the following year.
With Matt and Jeff, Lita would become one of the most beloved female wrestlers of all time
holding the Women's title on four occasions, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014.
4: Kelly Kelly
When ECW was relaunched in 2006 as part of WWE, the third brand needed new stars,
and though Mike Knox could have been that star, he was quickly eclipsed by Kelly Kelly.
Working together on the extreme show, Knox would play the jealous boyfriend character
who forced the exhibitionist Kelly to keep her clothes on, much to the anger of the fans.
Whilst this did get the 6 foot 6 monster some heat in the short term, and did allow him a brief
feud with CM Punk, it soon became clear that fans didn't care at all what Knox did,
as long as it meant they got to see the blonde valet.
Clearly the lesson here is that if you have a character who is basically a stripper, Knox
needed to have a strong character or personality of his own, in order to avoid being overshadowed.
Sadly for Knox, he didn't have either trait and though after splitting with Kelly in December
that same year, would do little in the company before his release in 2010.
As the final nail in his WWE coffin though, Kelly would later capture the Divas title in 2011
and recently became the first ever female 24/7 Champion earlier this year
as she is now in the record books as a title holder in WWE, something Knox failed to accomplish.
3: Debra
Though Jeff Jarrett would become a four time WCW World Champion and a six time
NWA Heavyweight Champion in TNA, he never had quite the same
success in the World Wrestling Federation
In the company, Jarrett was relegated to the mid-card and tag team position, and though he
would become a six time Intercontinental Champion before his controversial departure in
1999, was often outshined by his manager Debra.
As part of her managerial role, Debra would often take off clothes to distract Jarrett's
opponents, much to the delight of the Attitude Era fans.
As Debra's strip teases continued, fans would become far more interested in her, than what
Double J was doing in the ring, much to the chagrin of the self- proclaimed Chosen One.
Turning heel, Jarrett would become a misogynist, repeatedly demeaning Debra and all women,
as part of his feud over the Intercontinental Championship
with the Ninth Wonder of the World Chyna.
On the September 27, 1999 edition of RAW, Debra and Chyna would team up, with the valet getting a
victory over Jarrett and referee Tom Prichard in a symbolic victory
that showed who the real star of the pairing was.
Leaving the company a month later, Jarrett wouldn't be seen again in WWE for nearly 20 years,
and though he is now a Hall of Famer, played second fiddle for years to his Valet Debra.
2: Melina
When MNM debuted on SmackDown in 2005, the trio of Mercury,
Nitro and valet Melina made an immediate impact.
Winning the WWE Tag Team titles on their first night, Joey Mercury
and Johnny Nitro made a fine team, though it was often Melina who got the attention.
As a trio of wannabe Hollywood celebs, MNM would often be followed by paparazzi
though whenever Melina entered the ring, all eyes were on her.
Entering with an impressive leg split, Melina's sex appeal would ultimately become the most
memorable part of the act, and though the Mercury and Nitro
did receive some attention thanks to being associated with her,
it paled in comparison to the Diva herself.
In a rare instance, things worked out for all three after the group split,
as Mercury would transition to a backstage role, and would later re-emerge as part of J&J Security.
Melina would later become a wrestler in her own right, becoming a five-time champion
and the first woman ever to have multiple reigns as Women's and Divas Champion.
As for Nitro, he would have success as John Morrison both in and out of WWE proving that
being over-shadowed often isn't necessarily the end of the world or even your wrestling career
1: Sable
When the WWF signed WCW's Marc Mero in 1996, they were disappointed to discover that they
couldn't use his Johnny B Badd character, but found a silver lining in the form of Sable.
The real-life wife of Mero, the company quickly signed them both to a contract, and the future
Women's Champion would make her debut at WrestleMania 12, accompanying Triple H.
Being yelled at by the Game after his loss to the Ultimate Warrior, Sable would be saved by debuting
Wildman Mero, and the pair would become a team on-screen,
though it was instantly clear that she was the bigger star.
To be fair to Sable, it wasn't like she was trying to steal the spotlight,
as she certainly didn't wow fans with her acting or mic skills.
Sable's biggest asset was her looks, as she was a very beautiful woman in WWE
at a time when there weren't many at all, and would become
one of the biggest stars of the Attitude Era.
Sable's movie-star good looks would ultimately see the jealous Mero mistreat and turn
heel on her, and the pair engaged in a feud that would
see Sable almost always come out the winner.
Unlike many male Superstars on this list though, Mero was a solid hand in the ring
and unlike Sable, had oodles of charisma.
It would have been interesting to see how his WWE career would have gone,
had he not been held down in storylines that focussed on his wife.
