Becky Lynch became a double champion last night at WrestleMania. This morning, she got welcomed into the club by one of her home country’s greatest fighters. Mixed martial artist Conor McGregor, who became the first fighter to hold UFC championships in two weight classes at the same time, took to Twitter to congratulate The Man on her victory over Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in the historic Winner Take All Match. Congrats to Irelands Becky Lynch, the WWE’s first Champ Champ. Wow! What a match these ladies put on! Ronda Rousey is something special in that ring, as is Charlotte Flair of the Flair dynasty! Stephanie McMahon you are right, I could not do what these athletes do. Or could I... — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 8, 2019 McGregor also gave kudos to The Queen and The Baddest Woman on The Planet for their role in the thrilling match on The Grandest Stage of Them All, expressing his awe at their performance, before hinting that he might be considering a jump to the squared circle. Stephanie McMahon encouraged the former UFC champion to go for it: Has Lynch’s success at The Show of Shows inspired another Irish athlete to pursue sports-entertainment immortality? Only time will tell.<doc-sep>World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) held its annual WrestleMania show on Sunday (April 7, 2019) inside MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford New Jersey, where it was a pretty rough night for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) imports Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey. Lesnar came up empty in his title fight against Seth Rollins (video), which clears the way for his mixed martial arts (MMA) return this summer against Daniel Cormier. As for Rousey, she was bested by Becky Lynch (replay), the Irish wrestling sensation who gets her fair share of Twitter love from Conor McGregor. Maybe we’ll see these two in a mixed tag-team match somewhere down the line? “Congrats to Ireland’s Becky Lynch, the WWE’s first Champ Champ,” McGregor wrote on social media. “What a match these ladies put on! Ronda Rousey is something special in that ring, as is Charlotte Flair of the Flair dynasty! Stephanie McMahon you are right, I could not do what these athletes do. Or could I...” He probably could, but perhaps not as well as Mayweather. While he may sound supportive of the WWE Universe, there was a time in the not-too-distant past when McGregor was shitting all over the guys and gals in professional wrestling, referring to them as a bunch of “messed-up pussies.” “Notorious” already has the support of the WWE brass, who believe there is a spot for McGregor in WWE, regardless of his size. It helps that Lesnar and Rousey have made crossing over to sports entertainment acceptable (kinda-sorta) among combat sports fans. Just watch out for those rubber mallets.<doc-sep>Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair made history Sunday night by being the first women to be the main event of a WrestleMania. After a very long night of crazy action at MetLife Stadium, they put on a show at WrestleMania 35. And at the end there was one winner – Becky Lynch. The main event, however, wasn’t perfect. The crowd seemed to be dead tired after six-plus hours of action and the ending wasn’t well received by fans who didn’t know the ref was counting when Rousey was pinned by Lynch or if she was even pinned at all or if that was really the way it was supposed to go. It all just seemed odd. Some fans even through out the word “botched” to describe the ending. But either way, Becky Lynch now has both belts. Fans weighed in on the ending: Awesome #WrestleMania, def my favorite in years. Only gripes are Triple H – Batista was WAY too long & the finish of the main event was sketchy. I didn’t even realize the ref was counting when they rung the bell for Becky 🤷🏻‍♀️ — Lindsey Foltin (@LindseyBaseball) April 8, 2019 That was THE most awkward ending to a match. No climax to it, just a botched pin. Her shoulder is clearly up Best part of the match "you chop like a bitch" #WrestleMania pic.twitter.com/stcJjilh6t — Galantia Vasilescu (@GoddesAmaterasu) April 8, 2019 Ending the wrestlemania main event with a botched roll up is pretty poor maybe the worst finish to a mania match ever #WWE #Wrestlemania #TheMan — UncleTony87 (@UncleTony87) April 8, 2019 Well, #BeckyLynch, #CharlotteFlair, and #RondaRousey deserved better than that match and that finish. Seems like they couldn’t think of a better way to have Becky win without making Ronda and Charlotte look weak. Sigh. #Wrestlemania35 — Merrijoy Vicente (@Fatty_Magoo) April 8, 2019 Welp, it’s been a fun, exhausting, and roller coaster of a #WrestleMania. Ended the right way with Kofi Kingston, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and The Man as champs. Wish the finish for #BeckyLynch wasn’t so questionable, but how much can I really complain 🤷🏽‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/X0BkZwW8wC — I Got Nothing… (@ashleypgreen) April 8, 2019 According to @Colohue w/sources inside WWE: Becky should have tapped out Charlotte. "I've been told by different people, in different positions within WWE, that that was the plan. It sure looks like they've just botched the main event of WrestleMania. "#WrestleMania — Kristen Ashly (@KristenAshly) April 8, 2019 #WrestleMania thoughts: – Happy that Becky (shame about the botched ending), Seth, Kofi, and the IIconics won!!! ! – Kurt losing clean to Corbin was a disgrace – Cena segment was a waste of time. It was an overall great show, but once again, WAY too long. — Dan Brown (@DanBrown0531) April 8, 2019 While I’m super ecstatic for Becky Lynch getting her moment, the dusty finish was super weak and wasn’t necessary. Becky should’ve won cleanly, period.#WrestleMania — Robby The Brain™ (@RobbyTheBrain) April 8, 2019 I’m not trying to sound blunt, but the women’s triple threat was not good. Becky Lynch is the right champion, but the finish sucked and was ultimately not main-event quality. Overhyped and failed to deliver. — Tyler Job (@_tylerjob) April 8, 2019 Kind of a sudden and botched finish, But congratulations to Becky Lynch! From Wrestlemania, to KofiMania, to WrestleMANia!#WrestleMania — Luka 4 ROY (@WHC_MSwordsman) April 8, 2019 I am happy that @BeckyLynchWWE went over @RondaRousey however that botched finished killed it. 7.5 hours for a botched finish. #WrestleMania — Mike K (@MikeCT11) April 8, 2019 #WrestleMania very good mania all around. Final match looked like the ending was botched though which sucks. @RondaRousey @BeckyLynchWWE @MsCharlotteWWE — Christopher Ehrett (@ChrisHardy83) April 8, 2019 Not saying she wasn't gonna win but that didn't seem like it ended like it was supposed to… — Tim Static™ (@Tim_Static) April 8, 2019 I've loved Becky Lynch from the beginning but that finish was trash. If she's winning, let her beat Charlotte clean. Ronda can go away without really losing, Asuka can say that even though she beat Charlotte, she's never beat her. Build for Slam that way. #WrestleMania pic.twitter.com/ydBtnvCSAT — Gustav of the Ramirezes' (@GustavoRAM) April 8, 2019 BS ending!!! @MsCharlotteWWE & @RondaRousey got cheated out. Hell we all got cheated out for it to finish like that. Main Event Huh!!!! Smh… — Eddie (@packy915) April 8, 2019 i never been so conflicted in my life. like #BeckyLynch won but that finish…. pic.twitter.com/7EWqwc9gcj — marathon young gawd (@Kittlessaidwhat) April 8, 2019 IDGAF IF THE FINISH WAS BOTCHED OR NOT BECKY LYNCH IS THE RAW AND SMACKDOWN WOMENS CHAMPION!!!!!!!! — Delbert Fowler (@dfowl92) April 8, 2019 The match looked awkward at times, incl. the finish, but there was enough good that the net result was positive. Becky Lynch got the big win everyone was rooting for. Very entertaining. #WrestleMania — Denny Burkholder (@DennyBurkholder) April 8, 2019 Guys when considering the finish to the #WrestleMania main event. Realize this means we’ll probably get #BeckyLynch vs. #RondaRousey tomorrow on RAW. Becky cements herself as champ and Ronda gets to take her leave. Simple booking my friends. — Eric Benner (@ebenner83) April 8, 2019<doc-sep>
Conor McGregor was so impressed with Becky Lynch's victory over Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania ... he might be one step closer to joining her in the ring. Lynch defeated Rousey and Charlotte Flair in the main event Sunday night -- earning both the WWE Raw AND Smackdown belts ... leading Conor to dub her the sport's first "Champ Champ." "Congrats to Irelands Becky Lynch, the WWE’s first Champ Champ," McGregor wrote. "Wow! What a match these ladies put on! Ronda Rousey is something special in that ring, as is Charlotte Flair of the Flair dynasty!" That's when the tease came ... "Stephanie McMahon you are right, I could not do what these athletes do. Or could I... " McGregor hasn't exactly had the best relationship with WWE -- in 2016, he went off on a bunch of the wrestlers as "p**sies" who could never win a real fist fight. "For the most part, those WWE guys are p**sies," McGregor said at the time ... "They're messed up p**sies if you ask me." He did, however, praise Vince McMahon and Triple H at the time. So, will he or won't he??? We recently shot Steph McMahon who told us she would love to sign Conor to a WWE contract ... if he's serious about wanting to get in the ring. Play video content TMZSports.com Conor's future seems to be a mystery -- he "retired" from MMA in a tweet last month ... but then told Khabib Nurmagomedov he would see him back in the Octagon.
