Becky Lynch is no stranger to WrestleMania main events. As one of only five women to headline WWE’s biggest show of the year, and the first woman to emerge victorious in such a match, Lynch has helped pave the way for future generations. While women’s WrestleMania main events have remained relatively rare in the years since, despite a women’s Royal Rumble winner being crowned annually, Lynch is confident that trend will shift and that women will headline the event more frequently in the future.
Lynch had the following to say about this topic while speaking to Stephanie McMahon on the What’s Your Story? podcast.
“I’m not throwing the lads under the bus. There’s some great dudes and there’s some great up and coming dudes. When I look at the future, I go, ‘I think the women are gonna be the main eventing more Manias than the dudes.’
Because I think the well of potential for the future, they’re just such colorful personalities. There’s a lot of care put in. And there’s a lot of thought put into people’s characters, I feel.
There’s just a lot of life in that division. And there’s a lot of stories to be told, and we’re getting to tell them. And it’s awesome.”
Outside of Lynch – Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey, Bianca Belair, and Sasha Banks are the only women to main event a WrestleMania. Belair defeated Banks in their main event.
