World Wresting Entertainment Announces The Search For A New RAW Diva
WWE announced its $250,000 RAW Diva Search last night on Monday Night RAW on Spike TV (9 p.m. ET/PT). The winner receives a one-year WWE contract and $250,000.
“The search is on for the most glamorous, sexy, personable, classy woman in all of the United States and when we find her, that lucky lady will be the next RAW Diva and win a quarter of a million dollars,” WWE Chairman Vince McMahon announced last night. “Now, who will decide the winner? You will - all of you who watch Monday Night RAW.”
The search begins today with potential Divas entering the contest at wwe.com or divasearch.wwe.com. You don’t have to aspire to physically wrestle in a WWE ring to win this reality contest! You just need to be beautiful, glamorous, physically fit, talented, charismatic and at least 20 years old and from the continental United States to have a chance to win. Candidates must e-mail their entry and two photographs (head shot & head to toe shot). All entries must be received by midnight (PT) Tuesday, June 8.
As part of the search, WWE will host a series of casting call events in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles where judges will select 10 finalists who best exhibit the qualities of a WWE Diva.
The final 10 contestants will be selected on a live television special on Spike TV on July 15 at 10 p.m. (ET/PT)
Starting on July 19, the 10 finalists will appear on RAW and perform a special assignment. That night WWE fans will vote to eliminate one contestant. Each week a contestant will be eliminated until only one is left. The new RAW Diva receives a one-year WWE contract and $250,000.
