I could see a women's match being a semi-main event of a Wrestlemania, maybe the third or fourth billing, in a few years. But we can't even get a Wrestlemania main event with two full-time main event males without it being a multi-man (the last Wrestlemania main-event to fully involve only full time talent was Wrestlemania 27, and even that show sold on Rock's presence). So, how are Bayley, Charlotte, and Sasha Banks going to get main event honors when even the male roster can't do it? TBH the Women's championship match was presented as fourth match and during the show it felt like third most important match. There's clearly a divide with one side being Reigns vs. HHH, Ambrose vs. Lesnar, and Shane vs. Taker, and everything else was below it. Though, the one thing the Womens match had this year is that they were all over the marketing materials this year, so I'll concede they were 4th, but I would hesitate to consider it on the same level of anticipation and hype level of even Ambrose and Lesnar, given how short the Divas segments were on Raw going into the show.

Baby steps. The first thing is to get a female program so over that it main events Raw (Lita and Trish had a glimmer with this). I think this is 100% going to happen. Then, a normal PPV. That one seems like it COULD happen, just not as likely. I honestly don't ever think they'd overtake Mania since the big mainstream money is with the guys, but if something reached Rousey levels of intrigue, that would be the place to do it.

It's certainly possible. 33 seems a bit soon but it things keep going the way they have been then why not? I'd see them main event Survivor Series or Summerslam first. The 'main event' before the Royal Rumble is quite likely too.

There is no doubt in my mind that within the next 5 years (max) we will have a true co main event between the Women and the Men

I dunno, the hype has been building, and in retrospect, it really seems like this was the endpoint of the 'Divas Revolution' from the beginning. The main three brought up to create a change in a triple threat at Wrestlemania for the new belt. As badly planned as the start was, you can see the foundations being built for a long time. Also, when it comes to hype, there was significant time at the start of the show for the unveiling of the new belt and the preshow panel putting over the change in the division, then during the show they got a longer match than Dean/Brock (even without counting the time spent on the fancy entrances with special guest stars) and they're the ones on the side of the building. I think it's reasonable to consider it a marquee match above Dean/Brock.

It's not going to happen at Wrestlemania anytime soon.
I definitely wouldn't mind it happening on another PPV in the near future. If it happened during my lifetime at a Wrestlemania, I think it'd be awesome. However, it just won't be happening soon.

Crazier things have happened over the course of one WrestleMania to the next. Having them main event a few shows would be a must if they want to make it to Mania.
One side note. I do think the audience needs to be retrained in a sense to actually appreciate women's wrestling, but I don't think it's impossible or would take a lifetime.
