Bra and Panties Matches
A Bra and Panties match is so named because it takes place between any amount of female competitors with the winner being the first to strip her opponent to nothing but her bra and panties. An Evening Gown match ends the same way, but instead of the women starting out the match in regular clothing or ring attire they begin in evening gowns. WCW held an "ROTC" match of the same nature, with the contestants beginning the match in camouflage military style attire. Xtreme Pro Wrestling went further with the idea; promoting a Buck Naked match, during which one competitor was supposed to be stripped completely.
Here are some notable Bra and Panties matches in WWE history:
- Ms. Dawn Marie defeated Gail Kim.
- Torrie Wilson d. Lizzy Borden
