WrestleMania 35 is officially in the history books and the show is already being hailed as a classic.

From the show's shocking opener to the return of the Doctor of Thuganomics, from Kofi Kingston's emotional title win to Becky Lynch making 'Mania history, the show had plenty of huge moments that will live on in the minds of fans forever.

But past the pageantry and spectacle of the biggest show of the year, there were plenty of little hidden references buried in the shows over five-hour run-time.

These Easter Eggs may have gone unnoticed by many members of the WWE Universe, as they were often "blink and you'd miss it".

Here are five Easter Eggs from WrestleMania 35 that only the most hardcore of fans were able to spot.


#5: Zack Ryder's history

Before WrestleMania 35 got underway, the kick-off show was dishing out huge moments to those watching.

From Tony Nese capturing the Cruiserweight title from Buddy Murphy to Carmella becoming the second ever Women's WrestleMania Battle Royal winner, the pre-show was filled with memorable moments.

One thing fans probably didn't notice, was the level of detail that went into Zack Ryder's attire.

Teaming with Curt Hawkins, Ryder's trunks and kneepads was a gallery of references.

The white and gold paid homage to his mentor Christian's WrestleMania attire, whilst the back referenced his time in the Major Brothers.

On the kneepads, there were also references, including his time in the Edgeheads with Hawkins, as well as his early singles run as the Long Island Iced Z.

The show got even better for the Long Island native, who captured the RAW Tag titles with Hawkins from the Revival.

#2: Lana channels the Princess of Themyscira

Lana may have no championships under her belt, but even her most fervent critics must admit that the Ravishing Russian has improved dramatically in the ring.

Making her in-ring debut at WrestleMania 32, the past three years have been an incredible time of transformation for Lana, who remains to be an entertaining manager.

Competing in the Women's Battle Royal, Lana rocked a Wonder Woman-themed attire, which made her look straight out of the pages of DC Comics.

An Amazonian warrior who fights with all her might, WW and Lana do have some things in common, though judging by the past, it seems the Russian doesn't share Diana Prince's ideas of honor or fair play.

Say it with me now! Lana is the best! Lana number one! <clap! clap!>

#3: Sonya Deville shows her pride

On SmackDown Live, Sonya Deville has shown that she has a bonafide mean-streak, never pulling her punches in the ring.

With her only friend being her Absolution running mate Mandy Rose, many members of the WWE Universe have been left wondering when the stoic Superstar will hold the Women's championship gold.

But at WrestleMania, the usually reserved Deville did give a reference to her personal life during the Women's WrestleMania battle royal, rocking a rainbow flag as part of her attire.

Associated with the LGBTQ+ community, Deville is the first openly-lesbian performer in WWE history, and publicly came out during a 2015 episode of Tough Enough.

A cool reference, Deville may be a baddie on-screen but her actions at WrestleMania will go a long way in helping to bring awareness to the acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community.

#2: (Rey) Mysterio lives up to his name

Rey Mysterio is a lot of things.

He's an incredible athlete, a former WWE World Champion, a Royal Rumble match winner, and is also knows as one of the most colorful Superstars of all time.

Once again, the man of mystery gave a huge shoutout to his love of Pop Culture last Sunday, competing in an attire similar to that of Spider-Man villain Mysterio.

Real name Quentin Beck, Mysterio is most often known as a master of illusion, who uses holograms and other tech to pull off elaborate heists.

Mysterio will even be featuring in the upcoming MCU film, Spider-Man: Far From Home, set to hit cinemas this July.

Beck will no doubt be hoping to do better than Rey, who lost in minutes to United States Champion Samoa Joe.

#1: Triple H's Hall of Fame patch

Triple H has done it all in WWE.

A 14-time World Champion, the Game is also a former King of the Ring winner, two-time Royal Rumble winner, and multiple-time WrestleMania main eventer.

But at WrestleMania 35, the Game showed that time has not slowed him down, as he defeated Batista to save his career in a gruelling match.

But during his entrance at the showcase of the immortals, the King of Kings gave a subtle shout-out to his partners in D-Generation X.

With a new 'DX HOF' patch on his leather jacket, the Game gave a fitting tribute to the group that brought chaos and disorder to WWE over the decades, and were inducted the night before into the Hall of Fame.

A very subtle Easter Egg, this one was really blink and you'll miss it.
