Mick Foley Thinks Fans Will Be Angry If Women Don’t Main Event Wrestlemania This Year

In an interview with Sky Sports, Mick Foley said that he thinks there will be fan backlash if the WWE doesn’t go with Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch as the main event of Wrestlemania 35 this year. Here are highlights:

On women main eventing Wrestlemania: “I believe the women are going to main-event WrestleMania this year and if they don’t, I think there’ll be a mass exodus of people from around the world. I believe their time has come. Becky Lynch has succeeded in becoming the biggest name in our business and I think that’s great. She’s a good friend, she’s a wonderful person and it couldn’t happen to a nicer lass.”

On how good the match will be: “I see it being an exciting match; Ronda is going out on a limb to create this really dislikeable persona and I think it works. I go back to my messages about eight or nine months ago and when she came to me for some advice I told her to be patient and to be ready. Then when she got the opportunity, she ran with it like nobody I’ve ever seen, like ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin.”
