It's no secret that Sasha Banks is a massive fan of Eddie Guerrero. The 'Legit Boss' counts the fiery Latino star as her favourite of all time, and she's paid homage to his legacy via her ring gear and move set over the years in NXT and on the main roster. Banks has even met Vickie to discuss her love of all things Guerrero.

On one occasion, Vickie had a little present for Sasha.

During an interview with The Independent, Banks told how Vickie handed her a pair of ring-worn Eddie tights as a gift. That caused Sasha to break down in tears, and she still doesn't think Eddie's widow knows what it meant to her; for the record, she didn't reveal which ones she got her hands on.

It must be tempting for Sasha to get the gear tailored so she can wear it one time, but she'd also be mindful of ruining something so precious. Maybe at WrestleMania 35, eh? Seriously though, Banks said Vickie was taken aback at her emotional reaction.
