Lilian Garcia introduced Kid Rock. During the end of his ten minute performance, which was a medley of songs, the Divas danced to the ring for the Miss Wrestlemania battle royal.
25 Diva Battle Royal to determine the first Miss Wrestlemania.
None of the Divas were introduced by name. The Divas started fighting before the bell even rang. Santino Marella is in the ring in drag. Mae Young and Candice Michelle were at ringside as guest timekeepers. Layla was out first, before the bell rang, then Rosa Mendes was tossed out. The announcers weren't even bothering to name which Divas were eliminated. Sunny and Torrie Wilson were eliminated. The Bella Twins were working together. Victoria eliminated Maria. The announcers didn't note Santino was in the ring. Gail Kim eliminated Jillian Hall and herself with a rana over the top rope. Beth Phoenix tossed out Tiffany and Eve Torres. Kelly Kelly and Molly Holly were tossed out, then Maryse. Phoenix was on a tear. They finally noticed Santino was in the ring, but didn't come out and name him. Victoria and the Bella Twins were eliminated, as was Natalya. It came down to Mickie James, Michelle McCool, Melina, Beth Phoenix and Santino. James gave McCool a rana, then went to the top rope. Michelle crotched her and went for a superplex, but Mickie fought her on the ropes. They tumbled to the floor and both were eliminated. Melina was working on Phoenix's back, but the Glamazon hit some elbows and went to toss out Melina. Santino came up behind Phoenix and Melina and pushed them over the top rope to win the match at the seven minute mark. There was a "Santino" chant.
Winner: Santina
Santina took the mic and said "she" was Santino's twin sister from Italy. Santina cried as Candice Michelle gave her the Miss Wrestlemania crown and sash. Santina then danced in the ring, while Phoenix was fuming on the floor.

Victoria and I were both in Mephis together at the WWF developmental territory back in 2000. She was the hardest working girl I knew. She trained hard at the gym and even harder in the ring. We had some great matches in Jonesboro AR and Oxford MS.
