10 Times Really Weird Stuff Went Down At WWE's Royal Rumble

OK, Sunny. You win.

By 1998, Sable had supplanted Sunny as the WWF's go-to eye candy, and that meant she was restricted to occasional commentary roles and special referee slots. Though that'd change by WrestleMania when Sunny reintroduced LOD (2000), she had some mothering to do first.

At the '98 Rumble, Max Mini, Mosaic and Nova beat Battalion, El Torito and Tarantula in a six-man "little person" tag match. Sunny was in the stripes, and she took a particular liking to Max. In between Jerry Lawler cutting midget joke after midget joke on comms, Sunny could be found 'accidentally' helping Mini gain an advantage.

Post-match, she then scooped Max up in her arms after a quick cuddle and briefly carried him around like an oversized baby. It was weird, to say the least, and once again reiterated to fans that these adult males were akin to young children playing wrestler.
