10 Matches WWE Could HONESTLY Call ‘The Greatest Ever’

Speaking publicly on the loftiest of her ambitions, Sasha Banks hasn't hidden her aspirations to be the best women's wrestler ever. She'll potentially have to increase her hit-rate if she wishes to compete with the finest from the Far East, but in North American terms, her and Bayley's places amongst the elite are assured thanks to the greatest women's match in company history.

With a WWE Women's division now obsessed with making history just by the virtue of existing on the same plane as their male counterparts, it's easy to forget how 'The Boss' and 'The Hugger' managed it in 2015 by - shockingly - delivering a sensational match as a payoff to an emotion-driven storyline.

Banks was a sensational heel; the Champion, 'The Boss', the best. Babyface Bayley the challenger, the underdog, the great pretender to her opponent's throne. Purity oozed from her determined expression throughout, replacing a more literal representation negated by the PG-era blood ban.

Sasha initially soared, smashing her opponent's injured hand with cold vigour before flooring her foe with a plancha to shorten her recovery time. Relishing her work a little too much, she lost control as the match became a back-and-forth of submissions and finisher attempts.

Bayley's tenacity counted double in the frenzy of it all, particularly when she uncorked a terrifying reverse hurricanrana from the top rope to set up a match-winning Bayley-To-Belly. Her primal discarding of her wrist tape seconds before the move mirrored her long-awaited willingness to throw necessary caution to the wind.
