History was made at WrestleMania 38: Night 1 on Saturday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The event featured the first WrestleMania to feature an African-American female referee working the show.
Daphanie LaShaunn took to social media to comment on making history as the first black female referee to officiate a match on "The Grandest Stage of Them All."
"First Wrestlemania," she started in the tweet that included a checklist of firsts she experienced this weekend. "First Black female to officiate on Wrestlemania."
She continued, "Right after my match I cried, called my family, and then gave myself the biggest pat on the back. I worked for every ounce of this. Keep grinding. It’ll pay off! And that’s on Daphanie LaShaunn."
