I know everyone wants the women to main event this year, but I feel like Rollins/Lesnar has to close out the show. The woman have the rest of eternity to main event Wrestlemania, but Rollins/Lesnar is pretty much a 30 year story in the making. Lesnar ended takers 21 year win streak, and he has not lost clean since (I don’t count that Goldberg match). This will also be the climax of Rollins redemption arc, bringing the title back to Raw after Lesnar has held it hostage for the last 2 years.

Counterpoint: Barely anyone gives a shit about Rollins and Lesnar. Might as well argue for Styles vs Joe episode 30 to close the show.

Compare the pop of Becky winning the Rumble to Rollins winning the Rumble; the women have to main event.
You got the hottest star in wrestling right now and the global superstar with the cross-sport recognition who may not be around much longer.
The WWE will never have a better opportunity to have the women main event Mania for the first time.

To keep it a buck, closing out Mania don't mean shit anymore. The crowd is dead after sitting 10 hours and just ready for it to end
It will only be an honor for the women to say they did it but i'm a wrestler I want to get booked in the first 2 hours of the main show while the crowd is white hot

I remember for years people saying that the women should headline Wrestlemania some day. I always rolled my eyes and thought it was stupid and just progressive for the sake of being progressive. This year, however, I am 100% in favor of the women headlining because they happen to have the hottest program. They are not just doing it to be progressive; it just happens to also be progressive. Big difference in my book.

Nah, Lesnar doesn't deserve to main event again (no disrespect to Seth). He needs to go out in the middle of the show and move on. It's Becky's year.
Also, why don't you count that Goldberg match?

Counterpoint: Barely anyone gives a shit about Rollins and Lesnar. Might as well argue for Styles vs Joe episode 30 to close the show. I don’t know about that. Rollins has been consistently over despite TLC and people clearly want him to beat Lesnar. That being said, it’s the women’s time this year. There’s been too much hype, too much of an overarching story, and too much star power to make Ronda/Becky/Charlotte one of the mains instead of THE main.

The women haven't main evented a WM in 35 years. That's far longer than Lesnar's storyline and even The Streak. They should main event that ppv ending with Becky smiling and then her friends can come out, do the four thing and end that ppv.

While I agree that the women should main event, I wouldn’t really compare a rumble after four hours of waiting vs a rumble at the very early going’s of the show.

I like Rollins as much as the next guy, but Rollins/Brock as the main event would be a real letdown.

Women should close if it’s a one on one match that people overwhelmingly want to see. Men should close if they decide to make the women’s match anything other than one on one. The first time the women close the show should be a big time one on one match, save the gimmick matches until they’ve had a real close the show Mania main event.

Who says Mania can’t be main evented by a triple threat? The hottest act in the company Vs a mainstream star Vs the best woman wrestler on the roster. That’s a huge match.

Nope.
Becky vs Ronda is still hotter.

Beyond that the women main eventing with a triple threat makes 2 stars rather than just 1. Some of the comments towards it not being a triple threat aren't looking towards the future of the division. If you've got Becky and Charlotte as stars you can use them to make other women stars. If it's just Becky then hey that's only 1 person who's only got so much she can do.

A historic first time should be a real match low on gimmicks, maybe those loose No-Dq rules that tend to find there way into main events sometimes could be ok. Plus I personally think 3 way, 4 way, etc Mania main events kinda suck and lose a lot of the big match feel.

That kind of booking is what gets you 50/50 booking.

No. Only one person wins a triple threat. Mania main events are better when they're one on one. Becky vs Ronda is the better story. Charlotte has had her turn and share of "history making moments".

The women (specifically Becky, Charlotte, and Ronda) are more over than the men. Sorry (but not really). Build Finn up based on his performance last night and get a story that puts him in with Seth/Brock leading to Finn winning the Universal title... I could get behind that. Seth/Brock does nothing for me (and I don't think it does a lot for a lot of people). The women deserve this after their work the last year to 18 months.
