10 Worst WWE Women’s Champions Ever

Meanwhile, Kelly Kelly may as well have ignored the traditional Irish Whip entirely. Every time this swimsuit model tried to run the ropes, they barely moved. It didn't help that all of her matches came across as choreographed dance routines, rather than wrestling matches.

We get that wrestling is choreographed, but surely the whole point is hiding that in the heat of the moment. Kelly was incapable of stringing together matches that looked genuine, and the only reason she won WWE's old 'butterfly belt' was down to her sex appeal.

That single Divas Title run lasted 104 days before Beth Phoenix beat her at Hell In A Cell 2011. In her time as champ, Kelly beat Brie Bella in less than five minutes at Money In The Bank and Phoenix in just over six mins at both SummerSlam and Night Of Champions.

She, like many other swimsuit models not named Trish Stratus, was a failed experiment as champion.
