#Becky2Belts: Fans react to Becky Lynch's victory in WrestleMania 35 main event
Becky Lynch won the Winner Take All Women's Title match in the main event of WrestleMania 35, leaving some fans overjoyed, but others disappointed after a questionable end to the match.
Lynch appeared to have both of Ronda Rousey's shoulders pinned to the mat as the referee counted the 1-2-3, but replays appeared to show Rousey lift her shoulders off the mat as the referee started his count.
The ref continued the count, regardless, awarding the pinfall and the victory to an ecstatic Lynch, whose WrestleMania win over Raw Women's Champion Rousey and SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair made her the champion of both of the WWE's women's divisions.

However, the conclusion to the match left a sour taste in the mouth of some wrestling fans online, who bemoaned the messy finish.
One fan stated: "Becky Lynch robbed Ronda Rousey. Hand went down and counted one and both shoulders we off the canvas. They botched the ending. Goodnight everyone!"
