5 times women made history at WrestleMania

#1 First African-American wrestlers to main event; first wrestler born in the 90s to main event - WrestleMania 37

History was made once again at WrestleMania 37. In the main event, Bianca Belair challenged Sasha Banks for the SmackDown Women's Championship after earning the right to do so when she won the Royal Rumble back in January.

Bianca Belair's Royal Rumble win was also historic - she is the first and only African American woman to win the match, and was also the Iron Woman of the match for the second year in a row.

It was uncertain whether Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks would main event WrestleMania 37. It was something that prompted quite a movement online, with fans using the #MainEventBanksvsBelair hashtag on Twitter. This came to fruition, with Sasha Banks revealing a few days before WrestleMania that they would headline the Saturday night show.

The match between Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair felt like a very significant moment. At the beginning of the match, both women were visibly emotional.

As well as being the first African-American wrestlers to headline WrestleMania, this was only the second time that women has been in this slot. As well as this, Sasha Banks is the first-ever performer born in the 1990s to main event, being born in January 1992. This also makes her the youngest female headliner so far.
