Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch

The first-ever Women's main event at WrestleMania.

The hype was real. Becky Lynch vs Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair for both the RAW and the SmackDown Live Women's Championships. The stakes had literally never been higher.

However, the ending was one that would haunt the WWE officials.

After a 7-hour show, when Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair faced each other, they gave their everything to the fight. Becky Lynch won the match, making it extremely memorable.

However, the ending is what people will remember from the match.

When Ronda Rousey was pinned, the referee started counting while Rousey's shoulder was up from the mat. This was something that was spotted by the fans, and after she was pinned, Ronda Rousey was clearly upset as well when she made her way backstage.

The referee was fined by WWE, but what was done was done. The ending to the first-ever Women's main event at WrestleMania was tainted.

On top of that, Ronda Rousey was also injured during the match.
