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.
