12 Biggest WWE Championship Change Squashes

11. Mickie James vs. LayCool - WWE Woman's Title (Royal Rumble 2010)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyKnsRzeg1c Ah, the conclusion to the offensive and much-reviled €˜Piggy James€™ storyline. Maybe it€™s just coincidence that WWE€™s Be a STAR program launched about a year after the LayCool bullying of James took place. It was simply a bad idea to have a twig of a girl lecturing Mickie about her appearance. After enduring months of insults, Mickie finally got her revenge at the 2010 Royal Rumble when she defeated Michelle McCool in 22 seconds to win the Women€™s Championship. There were exactly three offensive moves in this match: an errant McCool kick to Layla, a James kick to McCool and a Mickie-DT. Afterward, she slammed a cake in LayCool€™s faces to really put an exclamation point on the feud.
