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.

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.
