At WrestleMania 25, Santino Marella, dressed as his own twin sister Santina entered the Miss WrestleMania battle royal and shockingly managed to win after eliminating Melina and Beth Phoenix. After successfully defending his title of Miss WrestleMania against Phoenix, he put it on the line against Vickie Guerrero on an episode of Raw and lost.

The feud between Santino/a and Guerrero heated up before it was decided that they would face off at Extreme Rules in a hog pen match, which is exactly as you would imagine, with both stars fighting it out in a mud pen surrounded by pigs.

Ahead of the match, it was announced that Chavo Guerrero would be wrestling on behalf of his aunt and the match then became more of a one-on-one affair before Santino was able to knock Chavo out and pin Vickie to win back his title.

Interestingly just a few weeks later Donald Trump was a guest host of Raw and he fired Santina and the Miss WrestleMania title was then forgotten about, so in the grand scheme of things, this was quite a pointless match.
