Former 'Funkadactyl' and brief 'Total Divas' star Cameron once inadvertently made their contests infamous, but Alicia Fox and Melina did little to even justify Stone Cold Steve Austin's 'Tough Enough' incredulity with their SummerSlam 2010 snoozer.

The late 2000s were an odd time for the Divas division, with a haphazard emphasis placed on actual matches despite Vince McMahon's edict to John Laurinaitis to sign 'Athletic Tens'. It unfortunately left many of the Divas caught in the middle of an endless struggle between flexing their modelling and movesets, sometimes in the same night.

The constant churn of bikini battles, pillow fights et al on Monday Night Raw and SmackDown made the company's attempts to have serious matches pointless, so reduced that the women were in the eyes of the crowd.

Swimming upstream constantly as a result, Divas battles struggled to garner any attention, to an extent where Jerry Lawler forcibly shut Michael Cole up as he tried to explain the contest's pithy build-up in order to lech on their attires.

After five moribund minutes played out to silence, Melina dethroned Fox, only to take a post-match kicking from Lay-cool, themselves the only genuinely over act in the depleted division.
