Fans and superstars were beaten over the head with the historical significance of the triple threat Divas Title match between Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks, not least when Lita unveiled an all new Women's Title to replace the base butterfly belt and anoint the company's self-styled 'Revolution' a resounding success. The sense of occasion wasn't lost on any of the competitors. WWE cameras even caught the reactions of the three as they reached the monolithic AT&T Stadium adorned with their visages front and centre.

Banks had long cited Eddie Guerrero as the inspiring figure during her youthful fandom, sharing the particularly tragic anecdote of only learning of his death as she arrived at the arena where tribute Raw and SmackDown episodes would be taped in his honour. It was the legendary 'Latino Heat' she warranted worthy of special tribute during one of her own defining moments.

Adopting his long tights and a near-perfect rendering of the colour and design Eddie used when he lifted the WWE Title in February 2004, her dedication was complete after she nailed a daring frog splash onto Charlotte and Becky as they lay prone in Flair's Figure Four Leglock.
