5 Reasons Becky Lynch will defeat Ronda Rousey and Charlotte at Wrestlemania 35

"The Man" Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch first laced up the boots in her native Ireland after a tough upbringing on the mean streets of Dublin. From the start she displayed a toughness and grit that women wrestlers are often not credited with possessing.

Fast forward to 2019, and she is set to take on former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion and current Raw Women's Champion Rowdy Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 35. Rumor even has it that the match will close out the show as the 'main' main event of the evening.

The war between Lynch, Charlotte, and Rousey has heated up, in particular ever since a social media firestorm was kicked up, with Lynch and Rousey saying and posting some quite controversial things. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the most talked about match by the Internet Wrestling Community, who have made Becky Lynch their darling.

But it's not just the IWC who are hot for Becky Lynch; the casual fans have shown their support as well, making her arguably the most popular superstar since Stone Cold Steve Austin in the Attitude Era.

On paper, Becky Lynch has a tough fight ahead of her at WrestleMania 35. After all, Charlotte has had more big match experience, and more title reigns, while Ronda Rousey's Olympic Judoka and MMA credentials speak for themselves.

However, there are good reasons to believe that Becky Lynch will walk out of WrestleMania 35 as the victor. Here are five of them.

Reason Becky Lynch will win at WrestleMania #5: Her blossoming popularity

Many people will tell you that Becky Lynch has ALWAYS been popular, and perhaps that is true. Fans and critics alike have praised her for her in ring skills, athleticism, and toughness.

However, there is no doubt that her popularity has surged tremendously in recent months. Much of this has to do not only with her main event push, which legitimizes her character, but also with her great interview skills and refusal to back down in the ring, backstage, or on social media.

When a superstar wrestler enjoys this kind of popularity, you can expect big things from them, such as a victory at the biggest sports entertainment event of the year.

Reason Becky Lynch will win at WrestleMania 35 #4: She is the female incarnation of a pure anti-hero

When you have films like Deadpool and Deadpool 2 breaking box offices around the world, you can be certain that there's nothing audiences love more than an anti-hero.

It was true in the 1970s and 1980s, when the roguish Han Solo stole the show from ostensible main character Luke Skywalker, and it was true in the Attitude Era when Stone Cold Steve Austin rose to tremendous popularity based on his refusal to submit to authority or play by the rules.

Becky Lynch is arguably the WWE's first ever female Anti Hero, and her assault on Authority member Triple H as well as her propensity for tough talking interviews bear that out. Not every wrestler can pull off a proper anti hero, and there is no doubt that Lynch is killing it.

Reason Becky Lynch will win at WrestleMania 35 #3: Ronda Rousey may be leaving sports entertainment after the mega-show

Ronda Rousey joined the WWE not because she was in need of money- her endorsement and movie roles have provided plenty of that, not to mention royalties on her UFC bouts - but because she legitimately loves pro wrestling.

Rousey has been a life long fan, and was particularly fond of Rowdy Roddy Piper. Ronda Rousey has appeared on very few podcasts, but she went out of her way to be on Piper's, and she even carries the Rowdy One's legendary leather jacket to the ring, not to mention her ring gear emulates his.

That being said, the rumor has been that Ronda will be leaving WWE after WrestleMania. While Ronda has quashed rumors that she is leaving to start a family, it seems as if she will at least take a temporary break from the WWE when her contract is up in April.

With Rousey possibly leaving, the WWE needs a strong female lead for its shows, and Becky Lynch certainly fits that bill.

Reason Becky Lynch will win at WrestleMania 35 #2: Charlotte won her Wrestlemania match last year, and ended Asuka's streak to boot

When the dust settled on WrestleMania 34, most of the buzz was about the match between Charlotte and Asuka.

Charlotte did the unthinkable, cleanly defeating the Empress of Tomorrow and ending her nearly two year long undefeated streak with the company. Given that Charlotte was gifted such an accolade by the WWE bookers last year, it stands to reason that she probably won't win at WrestleMania 35.

Many have proposed the theory that Charlotte was placed into the match between Lynch and Rousey so that Ronda's reputation can be protected; Lynch can pin or submit Charlotte and win the title, while Rousey gets to claim that she legitimately wasn't beaten for her title.

It's just another sign pointing to a Lynch victory at WrestleMania 35.

Reason Becky Lynch will win at Wrestlemania 35 #1 Controversy creates cash, and Lynch has stirred up plenty of that

Once upon a time, former WCW executive vice president and WWE on screen manager of Raw Eric Bischoff stated that "Controversy Creates Cash." While this isn't necessarily always true - the WWE got some heat for having a show in Saudi Arabia after the death of journalist Kashoggi - it does bear out most of the time. To put it another way, there's no such thing as bad press.

Becky Lynch as been courting controversy for months, mostly with her fiery social media posts. No one, not even announcers like Corey Graves, have been immune from her virtual tongue lashings. Of course, the Twitter war between herself and Rousey was grown to epic proportions thanks to Rousey's husband Travis Browne being photoshopped onto a victim of the Dis Arm Her submission hold.

Lynch isn't afraid to draw controversy, and that translates into her being a hot commodity in the world of sports entertainment in general and the WWE in particular.
