WWE just announced that the triple threat match between Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women's Title will be headlining The Show of Shows.

This is a huge announcement considering the fact that this will be the first time women are going to headline a WrestleMania. The buildup to this match has been a wild ride from the very beginning, and it's all about to go down at MetLife Stadium on April 7th.

Let's take a look at five reasons why women are headlining WrestleMania for the first time.


#5 The culmination of the Women's Revolution

We've come a long way since the time when women weren't considered anything more than eye candy on the WWE roster. Women's matches used to be considered as bathroom breaks. The Women's Revolution did something no one had ever imagined, and turned WWE's women into main event level stars, with the fans actually caring about them.

The Revolution got bigger with each passing year. Women got opportunities in special stipulation matches like Hell in a Cell, Elimination Chamber, and The Royal Rumble. Incredibly talented women like AJ Lee, Paige and a whole bunch of others gave us moments that would be remembered forever in the annals of WWE history.

The Raw Women's Title triple threat match is the moment which marks the culmination of the Women's Revolution. It's a testament of the fact that nothing is impossible in professional wrestling. You just need to keep trying until you grab the brass ring.

A year ago, no one had thought that Becky Lynch is going to be the headliner at WrestleMania 35. Today, she has surpassed Ronda and Charlotte in popularity and will possibly leave WrestleMania the Women's champion.

#4 It's the right time

There couldn't be a better match than the one we're getting, that could have headlined a show of the calibre of WrestleMania. Every single one of these three women are incredibly talented and are well-known faces among the WWE Universe.

Ronda Rousey has proven to be an excellent in-ring worker ever since she came into the WWE. Becky is fully capable of holding her own in big match situations. Charlotte has been carrying the Women's division for a long while now.

The intrigue among the fans is at an all-time high at the moment, and everyone wants to see these three women battle it out in front of 80,000 fans at MetLife Stadium.

A good enough rehearsal for the match could quite possibly lead to the greatest women's match in the history of this business.

#3 The Universal Title match doesn't deserve to go last

The build-up left a lot to be desired

We have seen Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar go at it before. More importantly, the build-up to this match has been nothing but lackluster,

Brock Lesnar has signed a perk-filled contract with WWE, and it gives him special privileges that no one else on the roster gets.

Brock Lesnar can miss a string of Monday Night Raw episodes in a row and no one would bat an eye, well, except the WWE Universe. Brock's contract has made sure that the main championship on the red brand would be turned into a joke, with the Intercontinental Title taking its place as the major title on Raw.

With a build like this, it's better to let this match done and dusted with at the middle of the show, and end the event with Becky winning the title and 80,000 fans on their feet.

#2 The Star power that this match boasts

It's incredible how much star power this triple threat match boasts.

We have Ronda Rousey, the baddest women on the planet. She has made waves in UFC with her undefeated streak, which was broken by Holly Holm. Ronda was one of the most popular as well as ruthless women in the history of MMA. She came in the WWE, bringing with her tons of mainstream coverage.

Charlotte is the daughter of the legendary Ric Flair, and has been the cornerstone of the Women's Revolution since a while now.

Becky Lynch is the 2nd most mentioned female athlete on Twitter, behind Tennis star Serena Williams. Even Ronda and Charlotte are behind her. The trio boasts some incredible star power and this is one of the major reasons why this match deserves to go on last.

#1 A build-up for the ages

The build-up to this match has been going on since last year's WrestleMania!

Charlotte was being groomed to face Ronda at WrestleMania 35 from the very start. This is the reason she broke Asuka's 6+ years long streak at WrestleMania 34. At Summerslam last year, Becky Lynch turned heel on Charlotte, to a chorus of loud cheers. This changed the entire dynamic of the Women's division.

Later on, Becky got punched by Nia on Raw and immediately garnered immense popularity. The reaction she got from the audience forced WWE to modify its plans for WrestleMania 35, and turn it into a triple threat match.

As time passed, the McMahon involvement and Becky's kayfabe injury hurt the storyline, but it still has been one amazing ride and needs to end at WrestleMania with Becky Lynch holding the Raw Women's Title above her head.
