5. Kelly Kelly & Maria Menounos vs. Beth Phoenix & Eve - WrestleMania 28
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBzgSX2f_3Y When the celebrity isn't the worst performer in the match, you've got the potential for a bad match, but it turns out that this wasn't as bad as you might expect. On paper, Kelly Kelly and Maria Menounos teaming together provided perhaps the best-looking tag team WWE has ever seen, but no one would mistake them for the Jumping Bomb Angels. Thankfully, Eve and Beth Phoenix held things together nicely, Maria showed she could sell convincingly and Kelly pulled out a summersault senton to wow the home state crowd. More thankfully, they kept it to under 10 minutes so it didn't overstay its welcome. It makes you wonder with the Snooki debacle taking place a year earlier, did they learn their lesson in how to book a celebrity match? Or were the performers that much better? Or is there just a personal bias against Snooki?
