A constant revolution to this contest, for this women and yet again they steal the show
A constant revolution to this contest, for this women and yet again they steal the show

WWE honestly dropped the ball on their historic WrestleMania with just two women's matches on the main card. That ball gets picked, played and dunked by the women of the Independent scene proving that it truly is the Women's evolution in pro-wrestling everywhere.

At this point, Tessa Blanchard and Britt Baker could perform this match up blindfolded, yet credit where credit is due, these two women start off in a similar fashion and end somewhere else. A story is magnetically told as Tessa expectedly takes control of the match, but cannot down a determined Baker.

Blanchard does the little things so well despite few botches, showcasing her mean and arrogant spirit to Baker's on the ropes babyface. Her disbelief that Baker isn't put down is well performed, as she keeps this insecurity away from Britt's eyes in order not to give her an edge.

Eventually, a flurry of sequences sees Tessa finally put down the former dentist. Though no handshake is given, a cursory nod by Blanchard is the respect that Britt may just get to her level if not already so, next time.

Result: Tessa Blanchard reverses another Canadian destroyer attempt into a Buzzsaw DDT to get the pin and win this match.
