10 Worst Ways The WWE Women’s Championship Has Been Defended
6. Gravy Bowl Match (22/11/01)
Gravy Bowl matches became a staple of WWE television during the Thanksgiving season, with two performers trying their best to make a meat-based sauce seem sexy.
When Trish Stratus won her first Women’s Championship at Survivor Series 2001, many fans were excited to see how the division would move forward. Stratus possessed the natural likeability, sex appeal and budding in-ring skills to drive the division towards the future. Although this ultimately was the case, her first title reign was a far cry from those further down the line.
During an episode of Smackdown in November 2001, Trish entered a feud with former Alliance member, Stacy Kiebler, culminating in a Gravy Bowl match. With both superstars popular with audiences, the match was not as tedious as some of the others on this list - but after a minute of action, Stratus’s second title defence was over.
Short, shallow and insignificant, the match is destined to be forever omitted from any Best of the Women’s Championship compilation.
