There was a time when both Cameron and Naomi were little more than backing dancers who would accompany Brodus Clay to the ring for his matches. Known as 'The Funkadactyls', the pair were essentially cheerleaders. Eventually, they were called upon to wrestle, more so when breaking away from Clay.

Splitting in 2014, a match was scheduled between the pair for Battleground. Even though it took place on the pre-pay-per-view Kickoff show, it has to be considered one of the worst in the history of the event series. Viewers on the WWE Network got this match as part of the overall Battleground 2014 package, even if it wasn't on the main card.

For a start, the bout only went three minutes or so. Secondly, Cameron (who never truly looked like she was comfortable inside the ring) picked up the win. The whole thing feels like a throwback to a time when women's wrestling wasn't taken with any seriousness in WWE.

Naomi has managed to improve her work, noticeably becoming a better in-ring performer, but few will be sad to see Cameron gone.
