WrestleMania 35 Main Event to Be For Both Women’s Championships

– The WrestleMania 35 main event really will be “Winner Takes All,” with one woman winning both brands’ championship titles. Stephanie McMahon announced the news to open up Raw. You can see video of the segment below.

The winner of the main event match for the PPV will be the holder of both brands’ championship belts. Notably, McMahon did not say it would unify the titles, though that may well be what happens. The news comes after a report over the weekend said the match would be “Winner Takes All,” but suggested that each title would be individually on the line in the one-fall match and the winner would not be guaranteed to take both championships.
