Round 4 of the Flawless Face-Off brought us face-to-face with some of the most defining traits of a WWE Diva: how they looked, how they wrestled, how they talked, and how they made us laugh. And the results? Lets just say, the fans had their sayand they showed out for style, substance, and a little bit of silly.
This weeks winners included a woman who owned every room she walked into and now owns two more Flawless Face-Off categories, an in-ring general widely respected within the wrestling industry, and a pitch-impaired queen of comedy who stole our hearts with every note. Lets break it down:
From top to bottomliterallyTrish Stratus came to slay. Whether she was walking to the ring in glittering gear, tossing out barbs on the mic, or raising championship gold, Trish understood that wrestling wasnt just a sportit was presentation, personality, and performance.
As this rounds Best Gear winner, Trishs fashion evolution tells the story of her career. She entered the WWE in hot pink booty shorts and cowboy hats and left a Hall of Famer in custom-fit legacy gear that nodded to her past while commanding attention in the present. Each outfit reflected her current chapterwhether it was babyface bold or heel high-fashion. She wasnt just dressed to impress; she dressed to define an era.
But looking the part was only a piece. As this rounds Best Promo Worker, Trish proved time and again that her voice was just as powerful as her in-ring skill. Early on, she played the conniving homewrecker that eventually evolved into a plucky underdog. It wasnt long before she sharpened her edge, delivering biting promos with calm confidence, smirking arrogance, and just the right touch of venom. Trish crashing Christy Hemmes Playboy unveiling is a personal favorite of mine.
From her feuds with Lita and Mickie, to segments with Stephanie and Christy, Trish turned the mic into a weaponand she knew exactly how to use it. These dual wins are a testament to a woman who could do it alland look flawless doing it.
Best In-Ring Worker: Molly Holly
There are workhorses, and then theres Molly Holly. For years, she was the quiet anchor of the womens division and was a foundational pillar during the golden era of womens wrestling. Her technique was crisp, her timing was impeccable, and her psychology was next-level. Whether she was wrestling as country bumpkin Molly, a prude heel with a chip on her shoulder, or a no-nonsense competitor determined to elevate the womens roster, she made every opponent look better just by sharing the ring with her.
What sets Molly apart is that she was a rare kind of wrestler: one who gave more than she took (the same could be said for Victoria, who only missed the top spot by 2 votes). Molly didnt just put on great matchesshe helped create them. A well-earned win for a woman who never asked for flowersbut absolutely deserves them.
Comedy Queen: Jillian Hall
From WWE songstress to fashion faux pas icon, Jillian Hall committed to the bit like no one else. Her tone-deaf pop diva gimmick is the stuff of comedy legendpart American Idol reject, part delusional princess of pop, and all brilliance. But what made Jillian so unforgettable wasnt just the singing (though that was memorable)it was the complete confidence and comedic timing she brought to every moment.
Whether she was tormenting the crowd with off-key melodies or delivering hilariously over the top promos, Jillian managed to steal scenes while still being accomplished in the ring. Her character work was so over-the-top that it couldve fallen flat in lesser handsbut Jillians commitment made it must-see.
Coming Up Next
Round 5 voting is right around the corner, and the categories arent getting any easier. As we move into the heart of the competition, every vote counts more than ever.

To everyone whos voted, commented, debated, and celebrated so farthank you. Your passion for this era, and for the women who defined it, is what makes the Flawless Face-Off so special. I cant wait to see who takes the crown next.
