WrestleMania 40 is coming up in less than two weeks, and fans are excited. As the roster, and a ton of fans, prepare to make their way to Philadelphia, the card is coming together.
Becky Lynch won the 2024 Women’s Elimination Chamber match, and she didn’t waste any time calling her shot for WrestleMania. The Man will battle Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Title at the showcase of the immortals.
WWE’s WrestleMania card is always stacked carefully, and many things are taken into consideration. Lynch has now called her shot, because she wants to go first during night one of the WrestleMania event.
Becky Lynch Calls Her WrestleMania 40 Shot
Lynch vs Ripley will be one of many marquee WrestleMania matches this year. However, the main event of both nights will likely go to Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes’ Mania angle.
During an interview with ClutchPoints, Becky Lynch made it clear that she is not worried about the Mania main event this year. In fact, she would love to open the showcase of the immortals this year.
Nah, man, I’m not worried about card order. I would love to open the show. I would love that. I’ve never opened WrestleMania before.
And to open this one, as big as it is in Philadelphia, I’m just putting that out there. It would be pretty cool because if it’s not the main event, I always want to be the opening spot — it’s always a great place on the card because people are so excited.
Women Represented at WrestleMania 40
Rhea Ripley vs Becky Lynch will be the big women’s match on the RAW brand. On the other side, Bayley will take on IYO Sky for the WWE Women’s Title. Bayley won the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble match to get her spot.
As of this writing, the Kabuki Warriors have not been announced for a WWE Women’s Tag Team Title match. Asuka just returned to action after an injury scare, so that is a good sign it is still possible for that to happen.
