WrestleMania 35: 4 reasons behind the"Winner Take All" announcement for the main event

Stephanie McMahon kicked off Monday Night RAW with a blockbuster announcement. As expected, the WrestleMania 35 main event will, in fact, be a "Winner takes all" match, where both the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championship will be on the line.

Fans wondered why Charlotte Flair abruptly won the SmackDown Women's Championship. Well, here is why. But it's odd because they haven't specified if it's going to be one of those things where the champion pinned loses the title and not the other.

As of this article, it seems to be the kind of stipulation where whoever gets pinned doesn't matter, because the winner will walk out with both championships anyway. This potentially throws a wrench in the plans of the reported end of the show, where all Four Horsewomen would hold titles to stand tall.

Not that they can't stand tall now, or anything, but if Becky Lynch holds both titles, it doesn't make sense for Charlotte Flair to stand alongside. Either way, here's why Stephanie McMahon made the blockbuster announcement.

#4 To make the WrestleMania main event much bigger

This one is a no-brainer. It's WWE's first-ever Women's main event at WrestleMania, and while they already have the three biggest female stars of the company ready to slug it out in the final show of the match.

While the match itself is big enough, and there's absolutely nobody disputing the fact that they should be in the main event, WWE likely feels that they should make the match as big as possible.

And it's not one, but two titles that will be on the line. Hopefully, they just keep it this way and don't overcomplicate it with another unnecessary stipulation. WWE does have a history of unnecessarily complicating stipulation matches for their main events. This should be a straightforward affair.

#3 To unify the championships

This one is another major possibility, one that we sincerely hope isn't true. What bigger way would there be to end the show than by having one unified Women's Champion? After all, this is the women's championship match on the show, and it's to contest and see who the best woman on the roster is.

To do that, WWE may feel that they need a unified Women's champion, and this could be a reason why they're putting both titles on the line. Becky Lynch, if she wins, could walk into RAW with one unified championship.

However, we hope it isn't true because it could be seriously detrimental to the Women's division in the long run. Having the additional title most certainly helps the blue brand and helps push other women as well.

In UFC and boxing, every division has a title, so what's wrong with two brands having two separate titles?

#2 A tournament will be held after WrestleMania to crown a new SmackDown Women's Championship

If Becky Lynch is winning both titles, and with the stipulation, in all likeliness, she will be doing so. This means that Charlotte Flair will be left without the SmackDown Women's Championship, but may end up going back to SmackDown anyway. After all, SmackDown does need a lead woman and they feel Flair is the best option to do so, with Lynch expected to permanently shift to RAW post-WrestleMania.

This may set up an angle where she vacates the SmackDown Women's Championship to focus on RAW, and leaving the title vacant would mean that they would need to hold a tournament to crown a new champion. It's possible that this was done so that they could have a bit of an extensive angle on SmackDown to crown a new champion.

Hopefully, Asuka would be right back in the mix if that were the case.

#1 To make Becky Lynch's win that much bigger

WrestleMania 35 is set to be Becky Lynch's night. It's the culmination of her career and all the hard work that she's put in. She's come such a long way since last year, which is crazy considering that she was in the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal on the pre-show.

Even then she wasn't given a very great showing. However, consistency and seizing the opportunities given to her meant that she would shoot on top of the card. Even Nia Jax's legitimate punch to the face actually worked out much better for Becky Lynch, and it seemed as though she replaced Charlotte Flair as the backstage favourite.

Either way, Becky Lynch is fully expected to win at WrestleMania, meaning that she will be the first and only woman to hold both the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championship at the same time. It'll be a major moment, something that has never been done before.
