WWE presented their latest episode of WWE 24 on the WWE Network following The Royal Rumble this past weekend and this time the documentary followed the story of the superstars who competed at last year's WrestleMania and their journey in the days that led up to it.

Whilst most of the show focused on Roman Reigns, The Miz, Maryse, Nikki Bella, John Cena, Naomi and The Undertaker, it seems that there were a number of stories and facts revealed that the WWE Universe didn't know before the company decided to broadcast the documentary on their Network.


#5 The Undertaker is scared of becoming a parody of himself

The Undertaker has been in the WWE now for almost three decades and even though it has been rumoured for the past four years that The Deadman was set to hang up his boots, he is still yet to do so.

Undertaker himself admitted on his journey to The Citrus Bowl that his one fear is becoming a parody of himself because his fans have paid to see him wrestle over the past 28 years so he feels like he should give them the best possible Undertaker.

He also revealed that he's worried that when he walks in the dressing room the other superstars are thinking "here comes the old guy."

#2 All wrestlers get nervous when they arrive at WrestleMania

Last year's WrestleMania had one of the greatest sets and the longest ramp in the history of WWE. It seems that arriving at the arena and realising what the superstars had accomplished by being in that position made a number of stars emotional and nervous.

Alexa Bliss walked in as SmackDown Women's Champion and noticed that her face was on one of the collectable chairs at ringside and it seems that this is what allowed it to really sink in for her and then made her emotional. Even veterans like The Hardyz were shown waiting to come through the curtain and make their entrance and being overcome with nerves, which shows that even the biggest stars in the business have a case of the butterflies sometimes.

#3 The Miz thought that teaming with Maryse was the best moment of his career

The Miz has been WWE Champion and he has main evented WrestleMania but he admitted that he thought that teaming with his wife at WrestleMania was the biggest moment of his career. The couple are now expecting their first child and this was the first time they had been able to wrestle together and it was inside the ring at WrestleMania, which is something they admitted they will be able to show their children one day.

It seems that this match was a huge deal to both couples who took part since it was the first ever couple versus couple match at WrestleMania which then featured the first ever wedding proposal.

#2 The Hardy Boyz didn't tell anyone that they were returning

The biggest moment of last year's WrestleMania saw The Hardy Boyz make their return to WWE when they were inserted into the ladder match for the Raw Tag Team Championships. It seems that the reason why this was one of the biggest surprises was the fact that The Hardyz didn't tell anyone, even their friends in WWE had no idea that they were coming back until their music hit.

WWE kept them hidden in a bus outside of the arena to ensure that no one would be aware of their presence and so that it was a huge shock when the moment came.

#1 Vince McMahon was the only person who knew John Cena's plans

John Cena finally proposed to his girlfriend of four and half years at WrestleMania 33, and it seems that there was only one person who was aware that John was going to go down on one knee following the match.

John only told WWE Chairman Vince McMahon about the plan so that he could ensure he was given time on the show to do it, but he didn't tell anyone else. Nikki had no idea about the plan and even stated herself that Cena was short with her for most of the day leading up to the proposal.

Cena also later revealed that he had planned to do it for a while, which means that he obviously wasn't as against marriage as he tried to force the WWE Universe to believe on Total Divas. John Cena's mother was even at ringside to see the proposal, which was a shock to John since she never usually comes to see him wrestle.
