'The Man' means business!!

Sunday night's WrestleMania 35 will go down in history as Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair battled it out in a triple threat match - the first all-female WWE event EVER!

Dubliner, Becky 'The Man' Lynch pinned former UFC champ Ronda Rousey by the shoulders to lift the Smackdown belt, also taking the RAW title in the all-or-nothing encounter.

What's even more incredible than an Irish woman being named the unified WWE women's champion is the path she took in getting there.

Today FM Sport and OffTheBall.com reporter Darren Cleary, who witnessed the spectacle live in the MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, chats to Dermot and Dave about her journey to the top.

Imagine going from retiring in 2006 due to a brain injury, where she was at that stage wrestling in bingo halls around Ireland in front of 60 or 80 people, to becoming an air hostess, then a stunt double, to the biggest name in a billion dollar industry?

There's defo a documentary to be made about 'The Man'!
