WrestleMania main event:

Becky Lynch's big coronation fell flat at WrestleMania 35. They could have worked a hell of a match, and still struggled to draw a fair response on its own merits. As a part of that crowd, I can tell you that it was freezing cold, the show had long since peaked following the all-timer KofiMania Moment, and wrestling shows should not be seven and a half hours long, people, I cannot stress that enough. The match wasn't a disaster outside of the finish - Ronda Rousey's refusal to use a table was neat character work - but it was uneven and underwhelming, with the memories of Ronda's pulverising war with Charlotte Flair at Survivor Series '18 so vivid.

And also...

REALLY peaked as a performer at:

Vs. Charlotte Flair at Evolution 2019. This was incredible. Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair are very close in real life. They orchestrated an atmosphere of pure, believable animosity in the walk-and-brawl portion of their blistering Last Man Standing match. The hatred was such that Jerry Lawler may have nodded, sagely, and remarked "See, all women do secretly despise one another," before being distracted by Charlotte's t*ts.
