Every WWE SummerSlam Women's Match - Ranked From Worst To Best

10. Divas Battle Royal (SummerSlam 2007)

Damning with faint praise as it may be, the multi-brand SummerSlam 2007 Divas Battle Royal wasn't the worst ever variant of the match, and in fact had snapshots of dramatic moments in comparison to the criminal WrestleMania 25 pay-per-view scrap two years later.

Coincidentally, an injured Candice Michelle sat ringside for that battle too, just as she did as 2007's perennial Women's Champion scouting her next contender. It was an indictment of the company's failure to present her as a second coming of the beloved Trish Stratus that Michelle wasn't even considered for a singles match on the card, but a year into a league without Stratus and Lita had left pickings already slim for the former model.

Like most battle royals, very little actually happened, with even Jerry Lawler struggling to insert his usual quotient of perverted pronouncements.

As crowd members on the front row literally turned their backs on the contest to wave at friends at home, the remainder of the audience showed passing interest in a final five of Melina, Mickie James, Torrie Wilson, Michelle McCool and Beth Phoenix. Sentimental favourite Mickie and top heel Melina were promptly dumped, before Phoenix used her strength to haul the final two out.

MVP interrupted her celebrations to shoo both away so he could have a beer-drinking contest with Matt Hardy and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
