Brie Bella vs. Kelly Kelly for the WWE Divas Championship, from WWE Money In the Bank 2011

This match was bad and stupid and featured a few awkward exchanges that made both competitors look like they were barely a year into the business despite having nine years of in-ring experience between them at this time. This is, in other words, among the best singles matches either performer had, telling their story ineffectively but coherently, keeping such complicated elements as “bouncing off the ropes” and “wrestling” to a minimum, and wrapping things up before the match devolved into a complete shitshow. I didn’t hate this match, I merely disliked it, which I guess is praise, all things considered.
