I hate to state the obvious, but WrestleMania 35's main event was pretty special.

Unless you're blind, deaf, and from a different planet, then you'll know that Becky Lynch defeated Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey to capture both the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships in the first ever all-female WrestleMania main event.

This is a huge achievement for women in wrestling, who have long been treated as second-class citizens. Hopefully this is more than a PR stunt and the start of genuine change in the company and in the industry in general.

However, this was not the only interesting fact about this match.

Ronda, Becky, and Charlotte had, obviously, never main evented WrestleMania before. This marks the first time that the main event of WrestleMania has not contained people who had main-evented the show before since Brock Lesnar met Kurt Angle in the main event of WrestleMania XIX. That was 16 years ago.

It was so refreshing to see new stars getting their shot at closing the show and the fact they were female this year was the cherry on the top of the cake. WrestleMania 35 will hopefully be fondly remembered as the beginning of a new era in women's wrestling and not the show that everyone fell asleep during.
