2. Sasha Banks (c) vs. Bianca Belair — WrestleMania 37
WrestleMania 37 marked a milestone for WWE’s women’s division. Not only was it the second time women headlined the event, it was the first-ever women’s singles main event, and it featured two Black women on the grandest stage of them all.
Before the match even began, the magnitude of the moment was written all over their faces. Bianca Belair, overcome with emotion, paused as it all set in. Across the ring, Sasha Banks felt it too. Then, just as quickly, both locked in, ready to deliver.
And deliver they did.
What followed was a nonstop, high-level showcase of athleticism and precision, with counters and reversals coming in rapid succession. Banks was at her slithery best, controlling the pace and staying one step ahead, while Belair rose to the occasion, fully aware that this was her moment to prove she belonged on this stage.
The match never slowed down, building to a defining moment as Belair cracked Banks with a thunderous hair whip that echoed throughout the stadium, leaving a lasting mark and shifting the momentum for good.
Moments later, Belair capitalized, defeating Banks to capture the SmackDown Women’s Championship in an unforgettable WrestleMania moment.
For Banks, it was a long-overdue main event spotlight, a testament to her role in elevating the division to this point. For Belair, it was something even more powerful, a breakthrough performance and an emotional victory that only a star of her rise could deliver.
It wasn’t just historic. It was special and triumphant, an all-time gem of the women’s division, a match filled with emotion and undeniable chemistry, the kind of performance that stays with you. Here’s to hoping these two will one day share the stage again.
1. Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley — WrestleMania 41
It’s a story that has come to define the women’s division at WrestleMania: the best step onto the biggest stage with something to prove, and then steal the show.
At WrestleMania 41, Iyo Sky, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley didn’t just follow that pattern. They perfected it.
Opening Night Two with the Women’s World Championship on the line, three of the defining stars of this generation collided in a match that felt massive in scale. The long-awaited showdown between Belair and Ripley finally arrived, with Sky inserted as the wildcard and ultimately the difference-maker.
What followed was a nonstop, high-octane sprint that never let up. All three women remained constantly involved, delivering a barrage of offense at a relentless pace, with each sequence flowing seamlessly into the next. Counters came in rapid succession, momentum shifting by the second as no one competitor could maintain control for long.
The match was filled with moments of brilliance, none more impressive than a breathtaking exchange that saw Sky counter a second-rope Riptide, only for Ripley to recover and get her knees up on an Over the Moonsault attempt, sending Sky crashing into position for Belair’s Kiss of Death. It was a sequence that captured the precision, creativity, and chemistry that defined the entire match.
Throughout, Belair and Ripley remained locked in their long-awaited battle, often treating Sky as an afterthought. It proved to be a costly mistake. In the final moments, after Belair appeared to have victory in hand, Sky soared in from out of nowhere, connecting with the Over the Moonsault to steal the win and retain her championship.
It was a finish as fitting as it was exhilarating, one that cemented Sky’s place at the top of the division alongside her two rivals.
More than that, it was a statement. A match that didn’t ask to be the best on the card, but demanded it, grabbing that distinction and leaving everything else to follow.
Fast-paced, hard-hitting, and flawlessly executed, this was more than the match of the weekend. It was an instant classic, an all-time WrestleMania performance, and the definitive showcase of what women’s wrestling has become.
This isn’t just the best women’s WrestleMania match ever. It’s one of the greatest WrestleMania matches, period.
