Sasha Banks may have won a loaded Raw Women's Gauntlet match, but there was an equal amount of female star power watching from behind the curtain as we learned several former WWE Diva Champions were spotted backstage at Monday's Raw from Los Angeles.
Christy Hemme, Torrie Wilson, Candice Michelle, Eve Torres, Lilian Garcia, Sharmell all posed for photos backstage with Mickie James. Torrie immediately tried to squash any rumors of a comeback by saying "just stopping by for a visit, that's it!"
Wilson started with WCW and came over to WWE during the 2001 invasion angle. She feuded with Dawn Marie and posed for Playboy during her time with the company.

Hemme won the 2004 WWE Divas Search, but only spent a year in the company before joining TNA. She retired from pro wrestling in 2011.
Eve Torres joined the WWE in 2007 and became the first three time Divas Champion in 2012. She retired from in ring competition in 2013 and has been an ambassador for the WWE ever since.
Candice Michelle won her first WWE Women's Championship in 2007 and became the first former Diva Search contestant to win a WWE title.She was released from her WWE contract in 2009.
Sharmell is, of course, the wife of Booker T and is best known for her time as Queen Sharmell. She first came to prominence in the wrestling world as Storm a member of the World Championship Wrestling dance troupe the Nitro Girls and she also played a character called Paisley.

It's not uncommon to see former stars showing up when WWE hits the staples center, but we can't help but wonder if any of these ladies would be interested in joining Mickie James back on the main stage.
Don't be surprised if a former Diva manages to sneak into the Mae Young Classic in the same fashion Tajiri did for the Cruiserweight Classic last summer.
