Which Diva do you think made the most money for WWE?
I think it's a tough call between Sable, Elizabeth, Lita, Chyna and Trish. A lot of people may not realize it, but Sunny brought a lot of great publicity to the WWF at a time when they needed some recognition.

It is probably Sable with Chyna as second. The others are very distant from those two as far as drawing power.

I'll say Lita. No way it's Chyna.

I would guess Chyna, as she was working upper midcard programs with guys like Jeff Jarrett, Chris Jericho, and Eddie Guerrero.
Second would probably be Sable as a T & A attraction in the Attitude Era. I'm sure she sold more than a few tickets and PPVs when she was doing bikini contests and such.

Chyna for the DX merchandise alone (if you count that).
That said I'm sure Lita made a lot with her own merch including the Team Xtreme stuff.

Most likely Sable. She was plastered on every piece of merchandise available, had two very successful Playboy covers and the ratings for her segments were always high.

Are we counting Wendi Richter as a diva? She sold actual wrestling tickets as opposed to Playboys.

Gotta be Sable. She was the biggest female attraction during WWF's biggest money-making period. Like PKO said, her face was everywhere, and there were times when she was outpopping the vast majority of the men.

I'd rank them Sable, Chyna, Wendi, Sunny, and then everyone else. Those four were names on their own and bigger then most of the men at the same time they were active. Trish, Liz, Lita were damn good but they never outshone the men.

Does the WWE actually see a significant amount of the money when they put a diva in Playboy?

I'd guess Chyna or Sable.
