10 WWE Superstars That Were Forced Into Drag

3. Santino Marella

Or should we be calling him Santina? After a successful run as WWE's comedic act in chief, Santino Marella took his new found popularity and used it to campaign for a spot in the Miss WrestleMania 25 Diva battle royal at Mania 25. He, still being Santino at this point, challenged Mickie James to a match with one arm tied behind his back in an attempt to win a slot in the match. However, he lost. Then, he turned up wearing nothing but a mankini to try and prove his eligibility for the match, (however that works) but to no avail. This didn't stop the determined former Intercontinental Champion as he would still take part in the match wearing the eye catching ensemble you see above. Santino played the role of Santina, his alleged twin sister, and won the match by eliminating Beth Phoenix and Melina. She, being Santina, would defend the Miss Mania crown at the following Backlash PPV against Phoenix in three seconds thanks to the Great Khali before a feud with Vickie Guerrero ensued. After the 'title' had been passed between the pair a couple of times, RAW's new owner Donald Trump fired Santina and the Miss WrestleMania title was forgotten. Such a shame. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x90ijv_bataille-royal-de-divas-wrestlemani_sport
