10 Fun Facts From My Trip To WWE WrestleMania 32
3. The Re-Birth Of Women's Wrestling
Many of us left WrestleMania 32 a little dejected after the company decided to anoint Roman Reigns as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, with no heel turn or major plot developments occurring within the match. However, once we had left AT&T Stadium, all we could talk about was how excellent the presentation of the Women's Title match was. From the video package and entrances to the match and celebration, it felt like the most important and biggest part of WrestleMania.
As my friends and I were drinking beer and enjoying the day before we headed to the stadium, we all voiced our concerns that the women might be given seven minutes of in-ring action and all the hard work that they'd put in might not pay off. Luckily, we couldn't have been more wrong if we had tried.
During the pre-show when Lita unveiled the Women's Championship, the audience popped massively for the retirement of the butterfly belt! As Becky Lynch made her entrance for the match later on, the hundred thousand fans weren't treating it like the toilet break or as an excuse to go and get a hot dog, everyone was invested in the story.
When Snoop Dogg rapped for Sasha Banks as she made her entrance, I realised that a change really had taken place. All the hard work in NXT led to this night where the women were finally taken seriously.
In the end, Charlotte retained the title with help from her dastardly Dad, but as the fireworks went off inside and out of the stadium with Ms. Flair holding her title in the air, the Divas Revolution was over and the WOMEN'S revolution had begun.
