Molly Holly's Women's Championship match with Lita was a rather basic seven minute showing in which Molly retained the gold after an underhanded finish. Much more notable than the match itself was what was on Molly's left wrist.

Sharp-eyed viewers noticed that a lone black wristband worn by Molly had the letters "CH" written on it. They were in tribute to her kayfabe cousin Crash (real name, Michael Lockwood), who died ten days earlier at the age of 32. The official cause of death was suicide via drug overdose.

What made Molly's gesture really notable was that WWE (at the time) didn't acknowledge Lockwood's death, not even with a simple pre-show graphic, despite Lockwood having wrestled for them as recently as June of that year. Molly, meanwhile, donated a portion of her 2005 shoot interview's profits to an education fund for Lockwood's daughter.
