Sean Waltman, who will enter into the WWE Hall of Fame this year as a member of Degeneration X, gave his opinion on women working the main event match at WrestleMania for the first time this year as RAW Women’s Champion “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey will defend against SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.
Here’s a transcription from Waltman’s podcast, which you can watch below:
“The Monday after Mania when I was sitting there next to Ronda and telling her you’re gonna be main-eventing Wrestlemania next year. Ta-da! People like myself and just other like-minded thinkers; you throw that out there into the Universe and it’s funny how things happen. It’s the right time. I really like what Ronda is doing as a villain right now. A lot of the best villains are the ones that think they are right. That think they are the good guy… There are people that are criticizing all of this, I couldn’t disagree with you more. I think it’s all playing out rather nicely and I just think some people don’t like being worked. They don’t like being caught up in it. I just think it’s great. It was Charlotte and Ronda, that was the match. And Becky Lynch just came in and said ‘fuck all that, I am here too.’ And she did a great job. She wasn’t the chosen one and it didn’t matter. And at least this time they are listening to the people. “
