#6 Bra & panties matches

Enter ca
WWE Superstars during a Bra & Panties Match

The rules of the classic tuxedo match (competitors disrobe the other of their tuxedo to win) was applied to the female Superstars in the late 90’s and carried over into the early 2000’s.

These were known as the Bra & Panties matches, featuring already scantily clad women disrobing the other into even more risqué undergarments to win. This stipulation was even applied to WWE Women’s Championship matches during that time.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

Much like the relationship with Playboy, WWE distanced themselves from this type of risqué and edgy content when switching to a PG rating.
