Six-Woman Tag Team Match: The Riott Squad vs. Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair
Next up we saw all three members of WrestleMania 35’s main event be forced to team up against The Riott Squad. On top of that, there was a stipulation that if Lynch, Rousey, or Flair turned on their partners during the match they’d be removed from the main event on Sunday. As the match got underway, they were clearly trying to goad the others into doing that.
Flair started against Ruby Riott, only for Lynch to tag herself in. Most of the match then consisted of Lynch taking on each member of The Riott Squad. Charlotte Flair tagged herself in later on, only for Rousey to then tag Flair and put herself in the match. After a staredown between Rousey and Flair, Liv Morgan tried to roll up Ronda only to get a quick kickout and an armbar for her troubles. Morgan tapped out almost immediately, and the brawl was on the second the bell rang.

Rousey started throwing strikes at Flair. The three women began brawling only for backstage help to rush the ring and try to break them up. That attempt failed, and the brawl continued. Suddenly we saw a huge group of law enforcement officers rush the ring to keep them apart. It worked for a few moments, only for Rousey to break through several to attack Lynch. Ronda Rousey inadvertently struck one of the officers in the process, and was quickly handcuffed for her troubles.
As she was led out, Lynch broke through the officers holding her back to attack the handcuffed Rousey. This led to Lynch being handcuffed. As Lynch and Rousey were led out in handcuffs, Charlotte Flair followed suit by attacking both of her handcuffed opponents, only for Flair to get a pair of handcuffs as well. At this point, all three women were essentially dragged to the back to be placed in police cars.
They kept fighting and trying to break free from the officers to take shots at each other the entire time. When things did reach the parking lot, the officers made the brilliant decision to put Lynch and Rousey in the same car. The two women immediately began fighting, leading to a window in the police car getting kicked out.
The officers got Lynch out of the car, and left Rousey in. They went to place Lynch in the car that held Flair, only for Charlotte to burst out when the door was opened and attack Lynch. As the officers tried to deal with Lynch and Flair, Rousey had somehow gotten to the front of her police car and drove it into the other.
The officers finally got Rousey back into the back seat, and Lynch placed in the second car. Rousey leaned out the broken window only for Flair to break free and hit her with a running knee. The cars finally drove away with a screaming Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey, while Charlotte Flair continued to struggle with the officers holding her nearby.
Grade: A++, This was complete freaking chaos and it was amazing. They literally had to handcuff them to keep these women from attacking each other, and that still didn’t work. I can’t wait to see the main event of WrestleMania 35.
