The main event of WrestleMania was a triple threat match pitting Raw Women's Champion, Ronda Rousey, against SmackDown Women's Champion, Charlotte, and "The Man", Becky Lynch, in a "winner takes all" scenario.

In case you couldn't tell for some reason, all of the people in this match were women.

This marks the first time in history that the biggest wrestling show of the year was headlined by female performers: a huge step in the ongoing Women's Revolution.

'Mania 35 really was the perfect time to do this match. Rousey brought an air of legitimacy to WWE, as well as major mainstream attention, and Becky Lynch was the hottest star in the entire company at the time.

This perfect storm gave WWE fans something that, even five years ago, would have seemed impossible. This match felt like it belonged in the main event - the fact that its participants were all female was just a happy coincidence.

Fingers crossed that this sort of thing becomes more and more common in WWE and the wider wrestling world. No matter what happened, there's no doubt we'll be looking back on this match as a true turning point in the entire history of the business.

Let's just not talk about that ending.
