CO-ED Magazine recently conducted an interview with WWE Diva Maria. They ask her if it hurts getting bodyslammed. Maria says it definitely does. Maria says she believes she has two broken ribs. "Oh yeah, definitely. It definitely hurts. I've gotten a couple of injuries. I busted open a lip not too long ago. I busted open my nose. I broke my thumb. Right now I think I have two broken ribs," Maria said. She also talks about what past Divas she looked up to, her take on Missy Hyatt, Sensational Sherri & Miss Elizabeth, her favorite musicians, and her plans outside of wrestling. "WWE is the most important thing to me. Women's Championship is what I want the most. Beyond that, movies, maybe something musically, I hope to have my own fashion line someday. There's a lot of things I'm interested in doing."
