The match was physical and each competitor threw their bodies at the proverbial wall in an attempt to entertain the fans in the main event of the night. The finish of the match saw Ronda Rousey attempt to execute her “Piper’s Pit” maneuver on Becky Lynch but Lynch reversed it into a crucifix bomb with a follow-through pin and kept Rousey down for the count of three to secure the victory and both titles.
Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp tweeted out that the finish of the match was not planned and Rousey was not happy about it as it gave off the feeling that the finish was her fault.
The finish didn’t happen as planned. Rousey wasn’t happy after, either. Thought the situation made her look bad, apparently.

Kristen Ashly chimed in on the finish of the match and added that according to she and Tom Colohue’s sources, Becky was going to tap out Charlotte Flair and in conclusion, the main event of WrestleMania did not go according to plan.
According to @Colohue w/sources inside WWE:
Becky should have tapped out Charlotte.
“I’ve been told by different people, in different positions within WWE, that that was the plan. It sure looks like they’ve just botched the main event of WrestleMania.”#WrestleMania

More from @colohue:
Match ended too abruptly, Becky was still meant to win.
“Accident’s happen. The ref’s continued a count after a kick out. He hasn’t delayed between the 2 and 3 like they’re supposed to and Becky hasn’t let go in time for Ronda to kick out.”#WrestleMania
