Becky Lynch: We Need To Condition The Audience That Women Can Main Event Again, Those Main Events Are Constantly Going To Dudes

Becky Lynch made history at WrestleMania 35 when she, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey became the first women to main event the show.

Women haven’t main evented WrestleMania since WrestleMania 37 when Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks (Mercedes Mone in AEW) headlined night one of the show. Over the past few years, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes have always been involved in the main event.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Becky explained that WWE needs to condition the audience to believe women can main event again.

“I just want to tell good stories, have good matches. Want to make sure that the business is better when I leave it than how I found it. I know that what I have done is prove that women could be the biggest stars in this company, and they are and can be. I think sometimes we need to fight to make sure we’re positioned as such, because you can be a huge name, but if you’re not positioned in the main event. It’s very easy when we condition the audience, this person’s the main event, this person’s the main event, this person’s the main event, we see them as the main event. When we don’t condition the audience, then it becomes a little bit harder, and for the last few years, I think we’ve, for the most part, those main events have gone to two, maybe three, four dudes constantly. I think we need to change that again. I think we need to. I don’t know what that means, whether that means fighting a bit more, whether it’s me or somebody else.”

Lynch is set to challenge AJ Lee for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 42.
