Stephanie McMahon may have liberally sprinkled herself all over it in order to confirm a spot in all the video packages paying tribute to an seismic moment for women's wrestling, but even the presence of the 'Princess' couldn't ruin Becky Lynch, Charlotte and Sasha Banks' emphatic main roster call-ups.

Dominating The Bella Twins and Alicia Fox, the trifecta of submission holds from the newbies was the highlight of the segment, and symbolically reflected a long-awaited changing of the guard.
