Every WWE SummerSlam Women's Match - Ranked From Worst To Best
1. Alundra Blayze Vs Bull Nakano (SummerSlam 1994)
Still one of the finest displays of WWE women's wrestling pre-2015 and the closest the organisation came to attempting the groundbreaking All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling style that had left even male North American action for dead at the time, Alundra Blayze's victory over Bull Nakano in 1994 still outperforms the chasing pack nearly 25 years later.
A feared heel and the first proper threat to Blayze's dominance in the threadbare 1994 women's division, Nakano was eclectic and realistic monster at a time when the company at large moved towards a soft-centred approach to villainy.
Though criminally short, it was no less perfectly formed. Fighting from underneath from the bell, Blayze took an instant beating from the vicious Nakano and was forced into rushing through her spots and subsequently making further mistakes.
Gamely fighting back to no avail, Alundra looked sunk after getting launched across the ring by her hair, contorted with a one-handed Boston Crab and nearly snapped in half with the never-before-seen Scorpion Cross Lock.
Gasps could be heard from the crowd whilst both Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler on commentary sold certainty that Champion was well beaten. Lawler noted Blayze's actual tears, only enhancing heroic comeback when she survived yet another crippling submission.
Surviving Nakano's powerbomb off a last gasp hurricanrana reversal, Blayze rolled out of the way of a humongous top rope legdrop and sealed victory with her tight german suplex pin. Her relief at retaining the title after the match was palpable.
