Watch: Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair on SportsCenter

It had been previously reported that the Triple Threat match for the Raw Women’s Championship will now be the main event of Wrestlemania 35. Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair will have the distinction of being the first females to headline the granddaddy of them all.

This morning on ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” the three combatants discussed the historical context of this match and what it means to them. You can see the interview in its entirety below:

Below are some highlights from the interview (h/t to Bleacher Report for the transcription):

Becky Lynch:

“There was a period where I left the business because I didn’t think that this was possible, but there was always part of me that just felt like I had more to do and that I wanted to accomplish this dream. Even when I got signed to WWE, one of my good friends, I said to him, ‘I’m going to main-event WrestleMania.’ He said, ‘It’s good to dream, but be realistic.’ And here we are.”

Ronda Rousey:

“On one hand I was already expecting it and on another hand I was really happy that it was finally certain. It seemed like an abstract goal … You know, I came into WWE just a year ago and my goal from the very beginning was I want to be part of the first-ever women’s main event for WrestleMania. … I think what’s happening is really a parallel for everything that’s happening culturally around the world. … I really think this is one of those mediums where you can affect real social change and affect how women view themselves. This is the same company that had Bra and Panties matches that are now raising women to the highest pinnacle that they have in the industry.”

Charlotte Flair:

“Main-eventing WrestleMania is the pinnacle of the women’s revolution. And even two years ago, I think most people would say, ‘That’s impossible.’ The women from the past helped get us here and what we’ve created in the last few months, the momentum, now we’re walking into MetLife with a capacity of 80,000 people and main-eventing WrestleMania.”
