Every WWE WrestleMania Women's Match - Ranked From Worst To Best

Almost as if the universe was telling them to wrap it up early, Beth Pheonix, Melina, Maria and Ashley deserved credit for continuing unabated following a power outage that plunged the arena into darkness in the middle of their WrestleMania 24 clash.

Succumbing to bad comedy and the contract with Playboy yet again, the heels gamely attempted to make the match watchable in the face of their severely limited babyface opponents in another contest loosely framed around nudity as a prize.

Labelled 'Bunnymania', the rest of the division again surrounded the ring, as well as dancing about a bit for 'master of ceremonies' Snoop Dogg as he drove down the long aisle to ringside. It's was as awkward as it sounds.

The match included some innovative team spots between the heels until the lights went out, but none of the women panicked as the emergency generator kicked into life and bathed the brawl in a single spotlight.

With zero interest in victors Beth and Melina from his ringside throne, Snoop Dogg then entered the ring and shared a long kiss with Maria after sparking out ex-boyfriend Santino Marella in the post-match shenanigans.
