WWE fans of the early 2000s will remember the explosive rivalry between Torrie Wilson and Sable, two of the most iconic divas of the era. Now, years later, the women are revisiting their infamous feud—sparked by their respective Playboy covers—and revealing never-before-heard details about the backstage tension that defined their time in the ring.
The Playboy Controversy That Started It All
Both Wilson and Sable graced the cover of Playboy during their WWE careers, but their magazine appearances became a source of bitter competition. Wilson, who posed for the publication in 2003, claims that Sable—who had already been featured twice—was less than welcoming when she joined the Playboy club.
"There was definitely some tension," Wilson admitted. "We were both strong personalities, and when I did my shoot, it stirred things up backstage."
Backstage Drama and On-Screen Explosions
The rivalry wasn’t just confined to magazine covers—it spilled over into WWE storylines, with the two divas engaging in brutal matches and cutting scathing promos. Fans were captivated by their chemistry, but behind the scenes, the tension was very real.
"We had our moments," Sable acknowledged. "It was a different time in wrestling—everything was more intense, more personal."
Where Are They Now?
Today, both women have moved on from WWE, but their legacy remains. Wilson has embraced fitness coaching, while Sable has largely stepped away from the spotlight. Still, their feud remains one of the most talked-about chapters in WWE history.
"Looking back, it was wild," Wilson laughed. "But I wouldn’t change a thing."
