10 Most Infamous Wrestling Wardrobe Malfunctions

Those times clothes didn't do what they were supposed to...

Last week on SmackDown, Eva Marie was supposed to make her long-awaited debut for the blue brand. On the previous episode, she had hurt her knee getting into the ring, cancelling her match with Becky Lynch at the last moment. Surely she had learned her lesson, and would be more careful this time.

Eva wasn't injured on her second attempt, but she suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction - the straps on her top popped off, leaving her at risk of exposure. The referee quickly covered her with a towel and she headed to the back, unable to compete. She's currently scheduled to debut on this coming episode of SmackDown, but who knows what will happen then.

Of course, Eva Marie's wardrobe malfunction wasn't legitimate - it was an angle planned to hold off her debut and (hopefully) get her more heat from the crowd. In reality, though, WWE TV has played host to many real-life wardrobe malfunctions, incidents where the women of the company were inadvertently left exposed before a watching world.

This list counts down 10 of the most infamous malfunctions, ones that got press when they occurred and have found a permanent home on the Internet. Enjoy, and for goodness' sake, keep your hands on your keyboard.

10. Shirt Happens

AJ Lee starts off the list with a malfunction that certainly could have been a lot worse.

The star, who wrestled in cut-off jeans and a t-shirt, was teaming with Dolph Ziggler to take on The Great Khali and Natalya in a mixed tag team match on an episode of SmackDown. After taking down Natalya during the course of the match, she popped up, revealing that her shirt had ridden up and exposed her chest. She was still wearing a bra, so there was no need for the censors to get worried, but it was still more of a show than she had planned on giving.

Nevertheless, AJ played it up, licking her hand like a cat in an attempt to titillate viewers (or possibly in an attempt to annoy Nattie by mocking her favorite animal).
