(CNN) For the first time in WrestleMania's 35-year history, the main event of WWE's flagship show was an all-female affair.

Irish wrestler Becky Lynch beat former UFC fighter Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair to be crowned both Smackdown and Raw champion -- two separate brands which operate under the WWE umbrella.

Fans from all 50 US states and 68 countries descended on New Jersey's MetLife Stadium with WrestleMania 35 raking in $16.9 million, the organization said.

SNL's Michael Che and Colin Jost enter the ring at WWE WrestleMania at Met Life Stadium.

The sold-out 82,265 crowd helped it surpass the venue's previous record of $12.3 million, set by WrestleMania 29 in 2013.
