RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch appeared on ESPN SportsCenter Tuesday morning to promote WrestleMania 35.
The host first asked Ronda Rousey about the big sports news of the day: Conor McGregor retiring from the UFC. Rousey seemed a bit surprised by the question, but said McGregor’s tweet was a creative and cryptic way to drop a big announcement like that. She said, “We’ll see how permanent it is” but added that McGregor has more than earned some time away from fighting.
The discussion then shifted to pro wrestling and WrestleMania. Becky Lynch was asked about the significance of a women’s match main eventing WWE’s biggest event of the year for the first time. Lynch said she’s been working towards this “obsessively” since she was 15 years old. She left home and traveled the world learning her craft. At one point, she quit wrestling, but was drawn back because she felt there was more for her to accomplish.
When she first signed with WWE, Becky Lynch told one of her friends that she was going to main event WrestleMania. The friend told her it’s good to dream, but be realistic. “And here we are.”
Charlotte said main eventing WrestleMania is the pinnacle of the women’s evolution. This dream was ‘impossible’ just two years ago, but their progress and their success are undeniable.
Ronda Rousey said she wasn’t surprised when she learned the women would main event WrestleMania. In fact, she was expecting that. But it still made her happy. This was her ultimate goal when joining WWE. She said “The WWE product copies everything else that’s happening” and feels pro wrestling parallels what we are seeing around the world with female empowerment.
