The next WWE Diva Hall of Famers

When the WWE Hall of Fame inducts Trish Stratus this April, it will be opening its doors to just the sixth female in history. In the years that follow Trish’s enshrinement, there will undoubtedly be more deserving Divas honored. But which ones? Below you’ll find a list of women I believe are worthy of consideration. They are broken down into three categories:

Definitive Hall of Famers: Think of these as first-ballot Hall of Famers. No doubters
Hall of Famers: For sure, Hall of Famers … just not first-ballot. They’re like Jim Rice.
Borderline Hall of Famers: These could go either way without an argument
