This isn't the first time female superstars are closing the show at WrestleMania. It's the second, and as Sasha Banks pointed out, it will be the first WrestleMania main event which will have two African-American women involved in it.

It's a great piece of history to be a part of. It's interesting because Sasha Banks is nearly six years into her WWE main roster career, while Bianca Belair is hardly touching a year.

Both women seem to be in different stages of their careers, but it was perhaps WWE's best option for a Women's main event this year. Unfortunately, Asuka vs Rhea Ripley isn't as big and buildup to it has been less as well.

While it doesn't appear as though WWE will be doing two-night WrestleMania shows from 2022 onwards, it seems like a much better idea than a single event that spans over six hours on runtime.

This could be WWE's way of normalizing Women headlining WrestleMania going forward.
