Two of the most important women in this revitalisation of women in WWE are undoubtedly Charlotte and Natalya. Both come from wrestling families and this match established that both are deserving of accolades in their own right.

Luckily for them, both are unbelievably talented wrestlers. This match demonstrated the value of their genetics, but also highlighted the capabilities of both Charlotte and Natalya. The match was great because both women showed why, when given the opportunity, women are just as capable of putting on excellent matches as any other superstar - something seldom seen in the company for quite some time at that point. Having their predecessors, Ric Flair and Bret Hart, standing at ringside and supporting them was a really nice touch. It added to the level of respect that was developed between the wrestling familes and the two women in the ring, and it also planted in viewers minds that the two women were on a similar level to their legendary forebears.

It was a passing of the torch from Hall of Famers to future Hall of Famers.
