Wrestlemania Main Event Botched?

By Jake Drury Last updated Apr 8, 2019

If you watched Wrestlemania until the end, not only do you deserve a pat on the back for surviving, but you may also have noticed the controversial finish to the show. Becky Lynch got a three count on Ronda Rousey, even though Ronda’s shoulders were down for two of the three mat strikes.

Wrestling journalist and Pro Wrestling Torch contributor Tom Colohue tweeted out that the finish as botched.

Twitter user Kristin Ashly followed up with more from Tom.

According to @Colohue w/sources inside WWE:

Becky should have tapped out Charlotte.

"I've been told by different people, in different positions within WWE, that that was the plan. It sure looks like they've just botched the main event of WrestleMania."#WrestleMania

More from @colohue:

Match ended too abruptly, Becky was still meant to win.

"Accident's happen. The ref's continued a count after a kick out. He hasn't delayed between the 2 and 3 like they're supposed to and Becky hasn't let go in time for Ronda to kick out."#WrestleMania

Brad Shepard also got word that that wasn’t the planned finish.

According to a source in #WWE, the ending to the WrestleMania main event was not the planned finish. The end was a botch, and the referee thinking Ronda’s shoulders were down counted to 3. Ronda was not happy. #WWE #WrestleMania #WomensEvolution
