Every WWE WrestleMania Women's Match - Ranked From Worst To Best
From the ridiculous to the sublime.
At WrestleMania 33, WWE will present two competitive Women's Title matches, as almost the entire collective rosters of both Raw and Smackdown Live! will feature in well-built matches battling to be genuine highlights of the sprawling event.
But as a WWE Network documentary almost certainly won't tell you, it wasn't always like this.
The schizophrenic history of women's wrestling within the company has seen WWE shoot for credibility via nudity and back again, with the current generation of workrate-heavy performers miraculously seeing beyond the flaws of the televised product they grew up on enough to chase their dreams of WrestleMania supremacy.
As 'The Showcase of the Immortals', a spot on the biggest wrestling card of the year preserves performances for generations, extolling the highs and exposing the long-hidden lows.
The good, bad and ugly of the division has all been on display at the 'Show of Shows', with WrestleMania 32's saccharine re-introduction of a Woman's Title representing far more than a shift away from the Divas butterfly belt.
From titanic title tangles to tepid titillation, here's every WWE WrestleMania women's match ranked from worst to best.
22. The Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal (WrestleMania 25)
It wasn't enough that an entire field of 25 females had to enter without any individual recognition thanks to the shameful decision to tack their entrances on to a useless Kid Rock medley, but WWE also elected to have a match paying tribute to the previous generations of women won by a man in drag.
The anticipation of seeing former favourites Sunny, Molly Holly, Victoria and others was subsequently drained without remorse, and vindicated Trish Stratus and Lita’s public refusals to work the show over doubts of the contest's legitimacy.
Early eliminations occurred before ring announcer Justin Roberts had even explained the rules of the match. Divas Champion Maryse was dumped out without fanfare, and Michael Cole referred to Gail Kim as ‘one of the Bella Twins’ during her exit.
Virtually nobody garnered any further attention, with the match degenerating into a patronising mess of blown spots and mistimed tumbles to the floor peppered with futile grasps for legitimacy from Beth Phoenix and Natalya.
'Santina' Marella's eventual victory was disconcertingly fitting, as he danced in celebration at the culmination at one of WWE's biggest ever misfires.
