5 banned WWE words that were brought back

#4 WrestleMania numbers

If there is one WWE event that non-WWE fans are aware of, it is WrestleMania. “The Show of Shows” was created in 1985 and it has gone on to become the biggest annual event in pro wrestling/sports entertainment, with people often comparing it to the Super Bowl.

WrestleMania had always been marketed with a number after its name – sometimes with a digit (e.g. WrestleMania 2) and sometimes with a Roman numeral (e.g. WrestleMania VI) – until it simply became known as "WrestleMania" from WrestleMania 31 to WrestleMania 34.

Chris Jericho explained the reason why on his Talk Is Jericho podcast (via SEScoops):

“Vince does not like the numbers after the WrestleMania because he feels like it dates it. Also, you’re not allowed to call it ‘The Grandaddy Of Them All’ because he feels that it makes it seem old… You just refer to it as ‘WrestleMania’. One of those classic Vince McMahon quirks.”

WWE’s branding for WrestleMania 35 focused on "WrestleMania", without the number, but it appeared as though the ban on Superstars using "WrestleMania 35" had been lifted, as Charlotte Flair regularly said the event in full during promos.
