If you haven't checked this match out since it happened, do yourself a favour: WWE Network it and relive the majesty of Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair headlining WrestleMania 37's opening night. By snagging this spot, they became the first black women to headline WWE's biggest pay-per-view.

Don't sleep on how much that would've meant to both, or to an army of young girls looking on from home. This was a monumental step in Sasha's pro wrestling career, and the kind of moment she'll look back on with a beaming smile once she hangs up the boots for good.

It didn't hurt that Sasha and Bianca worked an absolute classic of a match too. They were so smooth out there, and deftly managed to elevate Belair without making Banks look like an afterthought. That cannot have been easy to do, especially when one analyses the rather rocky build in the lead up to 'Mania.

May 2022's walkout be damned. Sasha Banks = history maker, trailblazer and WWE legend.
