Headlining WrestleMania is a dream every single Superstar has when they walk into the squared circle for the first time. Men such as The Undertaker, John Cena, Randy Orton, and Roman Reigns have headlined WrestleMania a number of times during their careers, making them the top Superstars to ever walk inside the ring.

Unfortunately, women had never gotten a chance to headline the Grandest Stage of the Them All before 2019. Even though the company had stars like Beth Pheonix, Lita, Trish Stratus, and others, they never had a storyline big enough to take the main event of WrestleMania.

The entrance of Ronda Rousey into the company in 2018, and the subsequent rise of Becky Lynch brought a lot of change into the women's division in 2019. The two got into a heated feud for the RAW Women’s Championship, which later included then SmackDown Women’s Champion, Charlotte Flair.

The three women managed to get so much attention and cook up such a great storyline that the company allowed the three women to headline WrestleMania 35, with both the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championships on the line.

The match was won by Becky Lynch and allowed the women’s roster to bring the biggest change ever seen in the company for the female talent wing.
