The 10 most important WWE matches of the 2010s

#10 Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch (WrestleMania 35, 2019)

Disappointing, but important.

Vaulting from the match at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, the women's division shattered professional wrestling's ultimate glass ceiling and main evented WrestleMania less than four years later.

From an artistic standpoint, the match was disappointing. The build was lackluster, and the action itself wasn't as advertised. It didn't help that it came at the end of a seven-hour event where fans were exhausted.

Nevertheless, those things are inconsequential compared to the importance of the match. It won't make any match of the year lists, but it altered the landscape in WWE going forward.

Future stars, like Rhea Ripley, can now look at this match and see the possibilities. There are no barriers in the company stopping them now and they have this match to thank. It might not have been the most exciting to the fans, but you can bet the women's locker room was jumping for joy when they were watching this.

This chain of events is no doubt going to influence much of the content we see from WWE in the 2020s.
