Luchadora, Xóchitl Leyva Sánchez, better known by her wrestling name of Tiffany is the first Mexico-born athlete to make it to our list. Hailing from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, Tiffany might not be the most athletic wrestler on our list, but she knows how to work a crowd and keep the fans entertained. Sánchez comes from a wrestling family background with her father, Jesse Rojas known as the original La Diabólica and her brother, Jessy who currently is on the roster of Exocito Luchador promotions.
After training under her father, Tiffany made her wrestling debut in July 1993 but didn't reach her big break until joining Luche Libre AAA Worldwide wrestling promotions (AAA) in 1997. Throughout her career, Sánchez has earned the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship (3x), the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship once, the Mexican National Women's Championship (2x), and the Northern Mexico Women's Championship once. To this very day, Tiffany is wrestling at the age of 46 in the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre wrestling league (CMLL) today.
