3 Reasons Ronda Rousey is the greatest Women's champion in WWE history

#1. The sole reason why Women are main-eventing a WrestleMania

The match that will headline WrestleMania 35

Until last year, the idea of women competing in the main event of WrestleMania was bound to get laughed at. Now, after what some deem as being the greatest year in women's wrestling history, we are finally getting three women in the main event of the grandest stage of them all!

Ronda was a popular mainstream name before she decided to join the WWE. She destroyed women left and right in the UFC, and garnered the reputation of being the baddest women on the planet.

Ronda's presence on the women's roster has actually made it possible for WWE to take the risk of having women compete in the headline match of Mania. And as the show of shows is getting closer, the risk seems to be paying off as fans are completely behind this storyline. No other match on the card is getting the kind of coverage the Women's title triple threat match is getting.

Some could say that this has happened because of Becky's rise as a top star, but it's not a secret that without Ronda, WWE wouldn't have even thought of giving women a chance to headline a WrestleMania.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
