WrestleMania 35 is in the books and what a show it was. From Kofi Kingston's win to Seth Rollins capturing the Universal Championship, it was a long but very entertaining watch. Which brings us to the main event of the evening, a historic women's match. A match where Becky Lynch faced Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey for two championships.
Yes, this was a huge 'winner take all' match. And Becky Lynch stood tall at the end of the match with two titles held high above her head. Why did WWE decide to end the show with a woman who'd been in the Kickoff show only, until not long ago?
I will try and answer this question in this article. Share your thoughts about this match and let me know what you felt about WrestleMania 35 in general.
Here's why I think Becky Lynch had her moment at long last.
#5 Ronda Rousey's imminent departure
It is a well-known fact that Ronda Rousey may not stick around after WrestleMania 35. I mean she had a storied run already with the company, picking up the essence of sports entertainment in no time at all. But the time may have come for her to go back home and start a family, something she has been public about.
Ronda Rousey has a loving husband and the duo has achieved many accolades in the world of Mixed Martial Arts thus far. But every chapter must come to a close someday which leads to a new chapter of one's life commencing. Ronda Rousey could always make a comeback as a special attraction down the line.
And because of this reason, Vince McMahon awarded Becky Lynch with the titles. Much like Seth Rollins, WWE remains her main focus for now.
#4 To not have WrestleMania end with boos
Listen, it is impossible to hate on Roman Reigns in light of everything he's gone through over the course of his long and illustrious career. But the fact remains that when he was in the main event, the crowd was never happy. Every year, WrestleMania used to end with them leaving the arena dissatisfied.
As botchy as the main event match was, at least it ended with the right person winning, from the crowd's perspective. And the right person, in this case, is Becky Lynch, an extremely man-ly woman who rose from mid-card purgatory and embraced the Steve Austin in her.
As the fireworks sounded over MetLife stadium, the crowd rejoiced because the company had heard their pleas at long last and had their favourite superstar stand tall. Let's hope that this is a tradition that continues in the coming days as well, with WWE taking requests from fans seriously.
#3 To set a new long-term storyline with Lynch in motion
So, as it stands Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey may be done with one another for the time being. But the fact of the matter is, where does the Champion go from here?

The thing is, WWE may have an even bigger storyline planned for Becky Lynch at SummerSlam when she takes on Stephanie McMahon in a singles match. The seeds for this storyline have been sown on WWE RAW already with Becky Lynch refusing to have her legs check despite Stephanie McMahon's insistence about it.
And this brings me to why Becky Lynch captured the two Championships. Maybe Stephanie McMahon offers solidarity to 'the man', but she turns it down and sets a storyline in motion.
It may be yet another Austin vs. McMahon feud, except this time it'll be the daughter instead of the father who's on the receiving end of some heavy pummelling blows.
#2 To have Lynch be known as the first Unified Champion
I really don't know what the plans are for the titles going forward. Will they be unified or will Becky Lynch appear on both brands, as the ambassador for the women's division? Is the brand split going to end as we know it or will the Champ become like Sasha and Bayley, with the ability to show up on whichever brand she pleases?
I think Becky Lynch will follow in the footsteps of one Chris Jericho and become known as the first female Undisputed Champion. Could this be a ploy from Vince McMahon to overshadow Jericho's legacy as he has signed with All Elite Wrestling? Maybe this is the conspiracy theorist in me talking but WWE is known to be petty at times.
But it sets Becky Lynch apart from every other women's champion in the company. It puts her in her own league.
#1 Vince McMahon is a big fan of Becky Lynch's work
Thus far, we've all spoken about the audience reaction to Becky Lynch and how it has kept the boss interested in her. But the fact remains that the main fact is that Vince McMahon, himself is a big fan of hers.
He has seen how she has reinvented herself and is extremely enthused at her amazing transformation. Lynch channels fellow Irishman Conor McGregor, and this change in character has caught the boss' eye.
Is it any surprise then that this sudden change of character led to her big moment at WrestleMania? Yes, Vince McMahon is also a fan of Charlotte Flair's but this was certainly Becky Lynch's time. It is the ability to know whom to push when that has kept McMahon in the sports entertainment game for so long.
Are you happy with Becky Lynch becoming a historic double champion at WrestleMania 35? If so, gimme a hell yeah! Or not...
