There was once a misconception that people who can't achieve all they desire in education instead decide to make the switch over to a career in sport.

This is what many of the WWE Universe think about wrestlers. There is also the added stereotype that many of the women in the company are all beauty and no brains. It has been like that within the company for a number of years. The current crop of female wrestlers has managed to change this stereotype all together.

Almost every female wrestler who is on the WWE roster can prove that they have just as many brains as they have beauty and are currently in receipt of University level degrees to prove this.

The following is a list of 15 women in the WWE that are definitely proving that you can have it all. Looks and brains must be the two main things that WWE look for when it comes to their female wrestlers right now as the current Women's revolution could mostly be down to the fact that all these women are well educated and know exactly what they are doing.

Eva has been part of many films over the past year and is ready to leave her career with WWE behind. Even though this is a drastic move, Eva is a very smart woman.
