Before WrestleMania XX, WWE creative told a despondent Molly Holly that there was only room for one women's match on the show. They'd already decided that it'd be a typical Divas pillow fight or a mud-based match. At the moment, Molly had two options: accept it or fight WWE's decision.

Guess which one she picked?

On the 'Ring The Belle' podcast, Holly said she took it upon herself to force the issue. She bought a bald cap online, booked a photoshoot wearing it then put together a document of storylines that included her having her head shaved on the biggest show of the year. When she presented it to Stephanie McMahon, everyone loved it.

A few days later, the match was on. It's amazing to think that the Women's Title, Molly and Victoria were never originally supposed to be on the 'Mania XX card. WWE were happy to throw out some eye candy nonsense instead.
