WrestleMania 35's main event was far from perfect.

While placing Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair in this spot wasn't a mistake in itself, the trio succumbed to hype. Their first-time-ever women's main event was blighted by a shocking lack of in-ring chemistry from three performers who'd routinely produced brilliance in the build-up. They struggled for cohesion, so it's almost fitting that the finish was an apparent botch, with 'The Man' scoring a sloppy crucifix pin on Rousey despite her shoulders not being pressed to the mat.

This won't matter going forward. Sure, the journey was imperfect, but it reached the right destination and nobody will remember the dodgy pin when talking about 'Mania 35 years from now - only Lynch hoisting the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships high above her head.

The predictable choice is often the right choice in professional wrestling, and Becky's grand triumph was just that. The 'Show Of Shows' delivered a fitting conclusion to her stunning rise from SmackDown also-ran to the most attention-grabbing performer in the entire company. That's what it'll be remembered for, and that's what it deserves.
