On the finale of Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} season 2 it was announced that the next season would comprise entirely of rookie divas, the first season of NXT to do so. The show was broadcast on Creator/{{Syfy}} for five weeks but when Smackdown was moved to the network, the rest of the season was broadcast on WWE.com. This season saw a new element introduced to the competition theme with winning the rookie challenges earning immunity from elimination. The season arguably veered into SoBadItsGood territory with incredibly outrageous challenges for the rookie divas (including musical chairs and a sumo wrestling contest) and one of the worst matches in Wrestling/{{WWE}} history. However the season had its fans and the ''Diva Dirt'' website actively supported the show for its focus on women's wrestling. Like the other seasons, it ran for 13 weeks but uniquely featured only two rookies in the finale (the previous seasons had shown three rookies surviving to the final episode).

* [[Wrestling/{{Naomi}} Naomi Night]] - SassyBlackWoman who lasted to the finale but came second. Mentored by Kelly Kelly.
* Jamie Keyes - The ring announcer from season 2 and the first diva to be eliminated. Mentored by the Bella Twins.
* Wrestling/{{Aksana}} - A Lithuanian power lifter who was remarkably similar to current diva Maryse. During her time on the show she was involved in an angle with her pro Goldust revolving around her having immigration problems. She was also featured prominently in the feud between Goldust and Ted [=DiBiase=].
* [[Wrestling/KarleePerez Maxine]] - the only full blown heel on the show who liked to brag that she belonged on top. She had a bit of a mini-feud with Hornswoggle. Mentored by Alicia Fox.
* Aloisia - originally meant to be mentored by Vickie Guerrero and was considered one of the favourites since she was a 6 foot 9 AmazonianBeauty. However she was removed from the competition before it aired after erotic photos of her were found online.
* Wrestling/{{Kaitlyn}} - Aloisia's replacement, also mentored by Vickie Guerrero. She was noticeably the least experienced of the rookies, her first match even being on NXT. She started off as a heel but was involved in a LoveTriangle with Vickie and Dolph Ziggler effectively turning her face. She was the eventual winner of the contest.

* TheRunnerUpTakesItAll: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. The final three contestants all became Women's Champion, but runner up Naomi and ''2nd runner up'' AJ had more success (and title wins) than the winner Kaitlyn.

* TakeThat: In Maxine's second match she applied a chinlock (read: a move that everyone does) and CM Punk referred to it as "vintage Maxine" as a TakeThat to Michael Cole's catch phrase.

* WHAMLine: Naomi did a shoot on the penultimate episode and said "Kaitlyn can't wrestle".

* RunningGag: CMPunk as commentator deliberately got the girls' names wrong with Maxine as "Francine", Jamie as "Janice" and Naomi as "Nadine".

* TheRunnerUpTakesItAll: Runner up Naomi and the ''2nd runner up'' AJ had more success than the winner Kaitlyn.

* TheRunnerUpTakesItAll: DoubleSubverted as while runner up Naomi, aside from a guest appearance in [=NXT=] Season 4, hasn't appeared on WWE TV, the ''2nd runner up'' AJ, who has recently appeared on ''Smackdown'' and seems to have had more success than the winner Kaitlyn.
** Naomi has since turned up alongside Cameron (from ''Wrestling/WWEToughEnough'') as one of Brodus Clay's Funkasaurus hype-girls. She's subsequently debuted on the main roster as a wrestler in her own right rather than a valet or manager and found quite a bit of success, most recently winning the ''Smackdown'' Women's Championship in 2017 (although she was almost immediately forced to forfeit it due to injury).

* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: Naomi was the final rookie from the show to join the roster regularly and is still the only one who hasn't wrestled on TV yet. Later averted after she debuted on the main roster and went on to have a successful career.
