Maria Lopez

Maria Lopez is a Diva hired to the Smackdown Brand of New-WWE, where she is a former Women's Champion.

New-WWE Raw
Maria Lopez debuted at New-WWE Survivor Series as part of the Raw brand, and was immediately given a shot at the Women's Championship (then held by Janice Miller). Maria was unsuccessful at capturing the title. This was her only appearance before the fed was closed down for the first time.

Upon its reopening, Maria returned with a brand new look. After winning a few matches, she was granted another shot at the Women's Title. This time, Maria was able to defeat Janice to win her first Women's Championship. She went on to successfully retain against Beth Phoenix at New-WWE Armageddon.

Maria's next defense was against Janice at New-WWE/NAW Royal Rumble. In what could not only be considered the best women's match in New-WWE history, but is also a strong runner for the best match in the fed's history, period, Maria outlasted Janice and was able to pick up a monumental win. Following the match, the two women shook hands.

At WrestleMania IV, Maria defended her Women's Championship against Miley Cyrus and Marie Shandra in a Triple Threat match. She ended up retaining the gold.

Maria's reign finally came to an end at Backlash, where she lost the Women's Championship to Michelle McCool in a Submission Match after tapping out to a Heel Hold.

New-WWE Smackdown
Not even a day after losing the Women's Championship, Maria Lopez was traded to the Smackdown brand as a result of the 12/24/09 draft. She almost immediately was placed in the Divas Championship hunt, and was voted by the fans at Cyber Sunday to compete for the championship against a familiar foe: Janice Miller. Unlike their past two encounters, Maria ended up losing to Janice.
