WrestleMania 35 was a memorable show, with some fantastic in-ring action, great storytelling, a few surprises, and title changes.

The show kicked off, surprisingly, with the Universal title match, where the Beast Slayer, Seth Rollins, slayed the beast, Brock Lesnar, in no time and won his first Universal title. Elsewhere, we saw Kofi Kingston climb his Everest as he won the WWE title, defeating Daniel Bryan.

What impact will the matches and the feuds from WrestleMania 35 have and the subsequent fallouts?

Let's take a look at 5 fallouts from WrestleMania 35:


#1 The Revival quit WWE; Sasha Banks and Bayley tease disbanding

In the pre-show of WrestleMania 35, The Revival lost the RAW Tag Team titles to the team of Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins, the latter who ended his incredible losing streak.

This was a completely unexpected result considering how The Revival have been pushed on RAW over the last few weeks and are considered by many to be one of the best tag teams in the WWE. Could the title change be a result of The Revival asking for their rumoured release, with them unhappy at how they have been booked on WWE television?

While the rumours have cooled down lately, this surprise title change could be the reason why The Revival lost.

Sasha Banks and Bayley, the first Women's Tag Team champions also lost at WrestleMania 35 as The IIconics prevailed in the fatal four-way match. There have been reports, for a long time, that Sasha Banks and Bayley could split as a tag team, with one of them turning heel on the other.

This is the perfect time to do it as there may be some dissension between the two following the loss of their titles at WrestleMania 35.

#2 Big E and Xavier Woods win SmackDown Tag Team titles

Before WrestleMania 35, I predicted that all three members of The New Day would walk out of MetLife Stadium with titles around their waists, but that didn't happen. Kofi Kingston winning the WWE title felt like one that was a collective effort of all three members of New Day.

To capitalize on this WWE title run, I think WWE may put Woods and Big E back in the SmackDown Tag Team title picture, and feud once again with old rivals, The Usos. The Usos defended their title at WrestleMania 35 against three other teams, cementing their position as one of the best if not the best Tag Team champions in the WWE.

We could perhaps see The New Day dominate SmackDown Live and hold both the WWE title as well as the SmackDown tag team titles. There has been speculation about The New Day splitting, but it would completely no sense to pull The New Day apart now, especially when they are at the top on SmackDown Live.

#3 Braun Strowman demands a shot at the Universal title

As expected, Braun Strowman dominated the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal in a match that had absolutely no competition. Strowman took out the two Saturday Night Live comedians, Colin Jost, and Michael Che, who had hidden under the ring for the entirety of the match.

While the winners of the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal in the past haven't had any opportunities and have usually ended up in the lower mid-card, there could be something different in store for Strowman.

The Monster Among Men, who was touted to win the Universal title for a long time, has fallen down the pecking order on RAW, but this win could be a win to catapult him back to the top of the RAW roster.

We could maybe see Strowman challenge Rollins for the Universal title on the RAW to come.

#4 Brock Lesnar leaves WWE

The WWE Universe were in for a surprise when WrestleMania 35 main card began, as the Universal title match was to be the first one of the night. Brock Lesnar defended his Universal title against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35.

Although Lesnar had the upper hand at the start of the match, after the referee was pushed out accidentally, Rollins landed a low blow and then a few Curb Stomps to get the win and Rollins' first Universal title.

Lesnar's loss could signal his exit from WWE as he has been rumoured, for a long time, to return to the UFC for Daniel Cormier's final match in the UFC. Recent reports have stated that August could be when this huge match takes place in the UFC between Lesnar and Cormier.

#5 Becky Lynch vs Ronda Rousey singles feud

The triple threat match for the RAW and SmackDown Women's title didn't quite deliver as many would have expected it to. While the fans got the result they wanted - a Becky Lynch victory, the match didn't match the expectations that fans had for it.

The Kofi Kingston-Daniel Bryan match for the WWE Championship was a much more rounded match, with ebbs and flows in the story inside the ring.

Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair created history by being the first women to headline and deservedly so, but the match had too many botches, while the fans were also not up for it.

With Becky's victory, and a controversial one, as it appeared that Rousey had her back up, we could maybe see a storyline between the two minus Charlotte. A Lynch-Rousey feud is what many fans have wanted and they could finally get it soon.
