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

6. Alundra Blayze Vs Bertha Faye (SummerSlam 1995)

Hamstrung by the rotten 'Bertha Fay' comedy character, Rhonda Sing wasn't able to unleash the worst of her Japanese 'Monster Ripper' persona during her 1995 run with WWE, but was at least able to look physically dominant against the generous Women's Champion Alundra Blayze.

With international pedigree herself, Blayze wasn't afraid of taking a kicking for the cause (more on that later), allowing Bertha to steamroll through her with some high impact bodyblocks and some fearsome legdrops.

Neglected almost entirely by Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler on commentary, the women fought gamely for the crowd's attention, with Faye missing a second rope splash and nearly falling victim to defeat through a host of knee strikes and a victory roll.

Fans bit on Harvey Wippleman's late distraction (and Alundra's ringside chase of the diminutive manager), as well as Blayze's duo of top rope dropkicks and hurricanrana, but a hitherto unseen Tiger Bomb from Faye finished her off for good.

Alundra would reclaim the title in a much better October Monday Night Raw match, just under two months before she infamously threw it in a WCW bin.
