WWE Makes Big Change To Wrestlemania 35 Main Event Featuring Becky Lynch Vs. Ronda Rousey Vs. Charlotte Flair.

WWE reports:

      Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch (Winner Takes All Match)

      For the first time in WWE history, a women’s match will be the main event of WrestleMania, as Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch will headline The Show of Shows in a Winner Takes All Match for both titles!

      Despite Becky Lynch winning the Royal Rumble in January, Mr. McMahon removed The Man from the WrestleMania Raw Women’s Title Match, and Charlotte Flair was handpicked to take her place. The Chairman’s decision came after a contentious couple of weeks between Becky and the McMahon family, whose insistence that she obtain medical clearance for her injured knee led to a heated confrontation and an indefinite suspension for the former SmackDown Women’s Champion until she got the green light from WWE’s medical staff.

      Doing so wasn’t enough to sway the immovable Mr. McMahon, however, especially after Becky attacked Stephanie McMahon on Raw one night before slapping Triple H on SmackDown LIVE, and The Chairman levied a 60-day suspension against The Man that would carry her past WrestleMania. Moments later, he introduced Charlotte as his pick to challenge Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey at The Showcase of the Immortals, thus nixing one highly-anticipated matchup while setting the stage for a sequel to Flair vs. Rousey — one of 2018’s most brutal, unexpected contests and a clash in which, coincidentally, Flair was a last-minute replacement for an injured Lynch as well.

      Becky was eventually reinstated and given a matchup at WWE Fastlane against The Queen, with the stipulation that Becky would be added to the WrestleMania title showdown if she won. Before that contest could be decided, however, Rousey emerged and struck Lynch. The attack gave Becky the win by disqualification and turned the Raw Women’s Championship Match on The Grandest Stage of Them All into a Triple Threat Match.

      In a shocking turn of events, Charlotte defeated Asuka on the March 26 edition of SmackDown LIVE to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship. In the wake of The Queen’s stunning victory, Stephanie McMahon emerged on Raw, just six days before WrestleMania, to declare that the winner of WrestleMania’s main event would emerge with all the gold.

      Tune in to WrestleMania to see who emerges from the historic main event with both titles, Sunday, April 7, streaming live at 7 ET/4 PT on the award-winning WWE Network!
