4 Swerves that shocked the WWE Universe at WrestleMania 35

WrestleMania 35, 'The Showcase of Immortals', 'The Grandest Stage of Them All' has finally happened and the WWE Universe is still reeling from the results of what may go down as one of the best WrestleMania's ever.

Most of the booking decisions were what the WWE Universe wanted, with Kofi Kingston becoming WWE Champion, Becky Lynch sitting atop the women's division and Seth Rollins vanquishing Brock Lesnar. This perhaps proves WWE meant what they say when they said they were listening to fans.

But, even though those were decisions that the fans watching WrestleMania, that doesn't mean that there weren't things that happened that shocked us all. In fact, this year's 'Mania had many twists and turns!

Let's take a look at the 4 swerves that took place at WrestleMania that shocked the WWE Universe.

#4 The Universal Title Match on First

Seth Rollins opened the show with a David Vs. Goliath style victory over Brock Lesnar!

The crowd reaction to finding out that Brock Lesnar Vs. Seth Rollins was going on first was monumental. Paul Heyman headed out to the ring and announced that Brock Lesnar felt disrespected that he wasn't on last, so if Lesnar wasn't the main event he wasn't hanging around so the match was now.

Then all of a sudden Lesnar was out in the ring and Rollins' music was playing and the thirty-fifth WrestleMania was off to an electric start, that no-one could have imagined. Even the match card reports from wrestling websites had AJ Styles and Randy Orton on first, they were all wrong.

The Universal Title match opening WrestleMania was a huge shock, about the same level of shock as it was when Seth Rollins managed to overcome 'The Beast Incarnate' Brock Lesnar with a Low Blow and three consecutive Stomps. This was a great decision because it got the crowd excited and pumped up from the start!

#3 'Doctor of Thuganomics' John Cena

John Cena returned! But no-one expected how he would

A lot of people thought that Elias' WrestleMania performance would be interrupted by someone. But if any of them told you that they knew it would be John Cena returning back to this 'Doctor of Thuganomics' gimmick, I'm telling you right know that they're lying.

What a huge reaction we got from the crowd when Cena's old entrance music interrupted Elias and when Cena walked out in that ring gear! The place became unglued. What followed was a masterful musical performance that ended with Elias getting Attitude Adjusted for his troubles!

Sure there's a part of me that wishes that we could've gotten John Cena Vs. Kurt Angle instead of Baron Corbin, but it is what it is! Cena looked great, looked like he was having a lot of fun and the crowd were happy!

#2 No swerve in Kofi Kingston's title win

There's a new champ, yes there is!

Vince McMahon has spent the last couple of months putting obstacle after obstacle in front of Kofi Kingston on the Superstars path to the WWE Title, putting him and The New Day in gauntlet match after gauntlet match and telling the 'Dreadlocked Dynamo' he's a 'B+ Player'.

Because of this everyone was holding their breath after Kingston had won the WWE Title from Daniel Bryan because they were waiting for Vince McMahon's music to hit, and for Kingston's world to come crashing down, but it never came.

There were even reports that this was expected to happen, but a weird rumor going round just before 'Mania that Brock Lesnar was going to leave the show as WWE Champion. Thankfully, none of that happened and Kingston was given his moment in the spotlight, celebrating in the ring with his kids!

#1 Controversial finish to WrestleMania Main Event

WrestleMania 35: Becky Lynch wins against Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey to take it all

Every one could relax the moment Becky Lynch won the Raw and SmackDown Women's Titles at WrestleMania 35 in the main event against Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair, however there was somewhat of a spanner in the works.

The finish of the match wasn't a clear-cut clean win without controversy. Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey had just thrown Charlotte through a table and then Lynch rolled Rousey up for the three-count off a Piper's Pit. But there was some suggestion from Rousey that her shoulder was up and the pin shouldn't have counted.

The speculation is that this sets up the singles match between the two for next year's WrestleMania, but to book a bum finish for your first ever Women's Main Event seems a bit disrespectful to me!
