#3 Miss. WrestleMania Battle Royal – WrestleMania 25

A pointless women's match considering a man won it.

WWE tried to replicate the Andre the Giant Battle Royal by promoting the women’s battle royal as the first of its kind at WrestleMania 34, but it failed to live up to the expectations. At WrestleMania 25, there was another female Battle Royal, where the winner would be declared as ‘Miss WrestleMania’. The match itself was of a low standard, but there’s probably another reason why the WWE tried to forget the match at WrestleMania 25 ever existed.

When Santina Marella last eliminated Beth Phoenix, it may have been humorous for a brief second but it actually caused a number of disastrous issues for women’s wrestling. One notable reason is that you had the entire female roster all thrown into a match yet a man, disguised as his ‘twin’ sister, won the actual match.

What makes this significantly worse is that the WWE had a chance to make amends for this and potentially boost a woman’s career, but instead, Marella held on to the Miss WrestleMania title before dropping it to Vickie Guerrero, a woman who wasn’t even a wrestler. The title of 'Miss. WrestleMania' had an anticlimactic finish, when Marella and Guerrero contested in a Hog Pen match.
