Who defeated Ronda Rousey in the main event of WWE WrestleMania 35?

Becky Lynch defeated Ronda Rousey in the main event of WWE WrestleMania 35.

The match was a winner-takes-all triple-threat bout also involving Charlotte Flair. Lynch entered as the Raw Women’s Champion, Flair held the SmackDown Women’s Championship, and Rousey was the Raw champion’s challenger. The contest marked the first time women headlined WrestleMania.

Lynch won after Rousey’s shoulders were counted down while Lynch applied a roll-up. WWE’s official result credited Lynch with victory, although the finish was widely discussed because the pin appeared to involve a referee-counting error. Flair did not receive the fall.

WrestleMania 35 was held on 7 April 2019 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The match helped establish Lynch’s “The Man” persona as one of WWE’s biggest attractions, while Rousey took time away from wrestling afterward. A common mix-up is naming Flair as the winner because she was also champion and part of the match.
