10 Wrestlers Who Only Worked ONE WWE Match

Spot the odd one out above.

Beth Phoenix is a WWE Hall Of Famer, Natalya is still on TV wrestling, Maryse pops up every now and then, Victoria was a firm favourite, and the others ranged from overlooked (Katie Burchill) to semi-successful (Layla and Jillian Hall). Then, there's Lena Yada. She's hiding just behind Beth's hand there.

You don't remember Lena Yada? That's hardly surprising if not, because she only worked one match for WWE and didn't even step foot inside the ring to trade some holds. Yada was part of a 16-woman tag bout on the 3 November 2008 episode of Raw, but the match only lasted around 90 seconds in total.

As a result, others did all the heavy lifting and Lena stood on the ring apron wondering why she'd even bothered to get ready. Yada was released from her contract just one week after appearing on that 800th edition of WWE's famous flagship.

Thanks for coming.
