1. Gail Kim: Kim successfully defended her Knockouts title only to become the longest reigning Knockouts Champion on May 20th.
2. Layla: Layla retained her Diva’s Championship against the talented Beth Phoenix at Over Limit in what was likely the best Diva’s match of the year thus far. Since her return at Extreme Rules in April, Layla continues to prove that she is one of the most valuable players on the Diva roster.
3. AJ: She may not have done much wrestling in the month of May, but the evolution of her character has been interesting to watch. Currently, she adds most of the storyline intrigue to the CM Punk/ Daniel Bryan feud.
4. Kharma: Sure, she hasn’t wrestled any matches since her appearance at the Royal Rumble, but speculation about her return is the most exciting thing currently going on in the Divas division.
5. Beth Phoenix: Despite losing a title match to Layla at Over the Limit, Beth put on one of the best Diva’s matches with her opponent that we’ve seen in some time. Following this disappointing loss, Phoenix scored an impressive win over Kelly Kelly and looked ready to return to dominance.
