Sasha Banks has spoken openly on multiple occasions about how Eddie Guerrero inspired her as a youngster and has been a WWE superstar who has kept his memory alive, most notably through her adoption of Guerrero's famous frog splash as a finishing move.

Banks has also revealed in the recent WWE Untold about herself and Bayley that their recent storyline was indeed inspired by the relationship between Guererro and Rey Mysterio.

Sasha Banks has also established a friendship with Guerrero's widow Vickie, who has gifted her a pair of Eddie's tights. The current WWE SmackDown Women's Champion has revealed that she was present for the tribute show to Eddie Guerrero following his tragic death in 2005, when Banks was a teenager.

#3 Bayley - Macho Man Randy Savage

Former WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley grew up idolizing many WWE superstars, including John Cena and the Hardy Boyz. A star that stood out for Bayley however, was Macho Man Randy Savage.

In an interview, Bayley discussed being intrigued by the star's persona and look. His tasselled sleeves even influenced Bayley's look as a babyface, which she emulated until her heel turn in late 2019.

Before cutting of her hair and adopting a more villainous persona, Bayley used to wear a Macho Man inspired jacket for her ring entrance, and even adopted the flying elbow as a finisher in homage to her childhood favorite.
