It wasn't just about the match, or the opponent, or even the result (that didn't go her way), but the fact she considered herself further woven into WWE's history thanks to making up the numbers on a show with a relatively creditable lineage.

The type of mega-fan the company wouldn't have gone near in times gone by for being too much of a 'mark', before realising that future generations of performers were virtually guaranteed to have expressed some interest as a supporter as inspiration to train in the first place.
