#4 Jazz vs Bubba Ray Dudley on WWE RAW, April 29, 2002
An often-overlooked WWE women’s wrestler from the early 2000s, Jazz was one of the best wrestlers at the time. She was the women’s champion at the time, but when she challenged Bubba Ray Dudley for the Hardcore title, he didn’t take her seriously at all.
When Jazz introduced weapons, he changed his mind. Jazz assaulted him and had him on the retreat. Jazz ended up getting hit with a number of big moves though, and was about to be powerbombed through the table when Steven Richards saved her.

She was able to compete with Bubba, but Richards took advantage of the wearied Dudley to hit him with a weapon, assisted by Jazz, and pinned him to become the Hardcore Champion.
#3 Dean Malenko vs Lita on WWE RAW, December 4, 2000
Lita may be one of the most well-known legends of the early 2000s women’s division in WWE. Be it for her feuds with Trish Stratus that have gone down in wrestling legend, or for her extreme style of wrestling, she is recognized as one of the best women’s wrestlers of all time.
However, she would not shirk away from wrestling men either. When Dean Malenko entered WWE, he did so as a part of the Radicalz stable. He had a feud with The Hardy Boyz and one of the reasons for this was because he was interesting Lita. In the end, he made her an interesting proposition.
He challenged her to a Light Heavyweight Championship Match. If she lost the match, she would have to go on a date with him, but if she won, she would become the champion. She accepted the match and took a number of bumps that looked nasty, but she looked his equal, hitting him back with all she had.
In the end, she tapped out to the Texas Cloverleaf, but not before she looked extremely convincing the in the match.
