9. Becky Lynch
From 1999 to 2007, Playboy and WWE formed a partnership whereby one of its female competitors (although calling them wrestlers at that point was a joke) would appear in the magazine to coincide with that year’s WrestleMania.
Well-known WWE stars like Chyna, Torrie Wilson, and Sable appeared in their birthday suits, along with has-beens and never-weres like Ashley Massaro, Christy Hemme, and Candice Michelle. WWE’s migration to a more family-friendly form of entertainment dictated that they move away from the men’s magazine market, much to the dismay of male wrestling fans everywhere.
It’s nice to dream about Playboy still having that relationship and who would grace the pages these days. One of our top picks would be Becky Lynch, the Irish-born “Lass Kicker” who was one of the females dubbed “The Four Horsewomen” in her NXT days. We wish this electric-orange haired beauty could have changed out of her wrestling gear but the universe just got the timing wrong by about a decade.
