Becky Lynch has officially been declared as The Man. Her recent rise to the top in WWE has been unprecedented, and has set a benchmark for women superstars in WWE. Becky Lynch has attained a star status which puts her on the same pedestal as some of the top male superstars in WWE.

Ronda Rousey made a transition into professional wrestling last year and has since gone on to become one of the hottest acts in professional wrestling. She has remained undefeated for almost a year in WWE, and her dedication to the business is second to none.

Their Survivor Series match-up might have been called off, but that doesn't mean these two will not cross paths again. Becky wants to face Ronda and disarm-her, while Ronda Rousey continues to proclaim herself The Baddest Woman On The Planet.

We look at five plausible reasons why this match-up could potentially end up main-eventing WrestleMania.


#5 The big fight feel

Ronda Rousey has been termed as the reverse Miz. The build up to her matches have never been interesting. Her feuds against Nia Jax and Stephanie McMahon did not have much fanfare. However, she more than makes up for it with her performances.

Rousey brings a major big-fight feel, and Becky Lynch is no stranger to mega matches as well. Becky Lynch featured in the first ever Women's Championship match at WrestleMania 32, and has since then gone on to become the first ever SmackDown Women's Champion.

The main-event of WrestleMania definetely needs two superstars who can bring their A-game and get the WWE Universe standing up to take notice.

Ronda Rousey is no stranger to main-eventing pay-per views, and WWE could use this as an advantage to setup a WrestleMania main-event.

#4 Legitimate female superstars

WWE has seen dark days in women's wrestling. Women were treated as eye-candy in the days of Attitude Era, and it was followed by the Diva Era. This did not do much to make women's wrestling a major phenomenon in general.

Ronda Rousey has already revolutionised MMA. She encapsulates all the featues people want to see in a real woman wrestler.

Becky Lynch's rise to prominence has seen her blur the lines between heels and babyfaces. She has risen above it all and is now universally acclaimed by every member of the WWE Universe.

Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey are two individuals who can be viewed as the perfect women wrestlers. They prove that men's wrestling and women's wrestling are not much different.

#3 Lack of real stars

A major complaint with WWE in recent times has been its inability to produce new superstars. The Attitude Era had a plethora of individuals who could stand up and say I can main-event WrestleMania, and it wouldn't have sounded far-fetched.

In recent times, WWE's obsession with Roman Reigns led to several other talent being sidelined for his "coronation". A list of Reigns' match-ups at WrestleMania reveals how much the part-timers dominated WrestleMania in recent years.

Ronda Rousey is probably the most popular name on the roster after Brock Lesnar and John Cena, and has a global reach amongst the youth and the old alike. Her performances in UFC drew the attention of a vast audience, and WWE could capitalise on this popularity.

Becky Lynch is slowly becoming the second best superstar after Ronda in the company. Her promos and mannerisms have blown the roof off. Both these individuals could step up and deliver in the absence of Roman Reigns.

#2 Great PR for WWE

Many have accused WWE of doing the Women's Revolution just for the sake of positive PR. And to a great extent, this fact has stood true. However, WWE's production and presentation of the first ever Women's PPV showed that WWE indeed cares about women's wrestling as much as men's.

Selfishly or unselfishly, WWE stands to gain tremendous PR if two women were to main-event WrestleMania. A sport which has gained popularity based on the muscular men of the 80s like Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and Ultimate Warrior, having two women in its main-event is bound to make the headlines.

WWE stands to gain tremendous traction from a women main-event. WWE may have failed to book real stars on the men's side of things, but their handling of Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey throughout 2018 is noteworthy.

Good PR or not, these are two deserving superstars who can create a mega match-up.

#1 A fresh, organic, and unforced rivalry

If you look at Brock vs Reigns and Undertaker vs Reigns from the past two WrestleManias, the feuds have lacked any real momentum and purpose. Two guys were put together just for the sake of it, and had no proper build, which fails to generate interest from the fans.

Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch got off to a perfect start in the lead-up to Survivor Series. It was the only match-up on the card which had real sense of purpose behind it. All these was done within three weeks, imagine what could happen if WWE gives them more time to showcase their talents.

Becky Lynch is playing a character who's simply obsessed at being the best, and is ready to fight anyone anywhere who says otherwise. Ronda Rousey believes that she is the best in the world, having dominated two different sports in such a little amount of time.

Two perfect individuals, willing to fight each other to hell and back, is a story we can get behind.
