WWE WrestleMania 35: Ronda Rousey set to take center stage in wrestling's biggest show

Ronda Rousey has already made history as the first female athlete to defend a world title in the UFC. Now she's looking to do the same in the main event of WrestleMania.

Female athletes have never featured in the main event of wrestling's annual jamboree - the biggest show in the world of sports entertainment - until now.

That's because Rousey, along with WWE rivals Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, will form the triple-header main event of WrestleMania 35 at the MetLife Stadium in New York City on Sunday night.

The famous stadium, home to the NFL's New York Giants and New York Jets franchises, will be packed to the rafters for the huge event, as UFC Hall of Famer Rousey takes on seven-time WWE champion Flair and 2019 Women's Royal Rumble winner - and two-time SmackDown Women's Champion - Lynch in a showdown that is fully deserving of its main event billing.

The match tops a stacked card of clashes that look set to thrill the fans in New York.
