WrestleMania 35 invaded New Jersey on Sunday night and became one of the best WrestleMania's in the history of WWE. Whilst WrestleMania was a show that was broadcast all over the world and on the biggest screens in the world, the pressure was evident since there were a number of botches throughout, including the main event match where the finish was of utmost importance.

The Raw after WrestleMania returned to The Barclays Center in Brooklyn New York with some of the most interesting and shocking swerves in the history of the Raw After Mania, but whilst the show itself definitely delivered, there were a number of moments that fans probably missed that were brushed under the rug on the night overall.


#3. Alexa Bliss' return doesn't go to plan

Alexa Bliss was the Host of WrestleMania 35, a job that she managed to perform quite well, but Bliss made the decision to return to the ring on the Raw After WrestleMania this year where she challenged wither Bayley or Sasha Banks.

Bayley was the woman who took the challenge and stepped up to the former Women's Champion, but Bliss has been out of the ring for the best part of the past few months, which is why there were a number of botchy moments throughout the match.

Bliss almost fell off the apron in the opening exchanges, before a short arm clothesline hardly even found its target and her sunset flip didn't fully go to plan. Bliss won the match with her snap DDT, but WWE officials will be looking at this match as a look into her future and it appears that The Goddess has become a little bit rusty.

#2. Ricochet is a little short of the target

Ricochet and Aleister Black have had a fantastic week since they have challenged for all tag team Championships in WWE with the exception of NXT UK. The duo was unable to pick up any of the titles, but they were the only team that was part of both NXT Takeover: New York and WrestleMania this past weekend.

Their epic week continued as they stepped out in front of the Raw After WrestleMania crowd against Chad Gable and Bobby Roode, it could be that fatigue was getting to Ricochet at this point since the former NXT star delivered a kick to Gable mid-way through the match that was so far away it was easily noticeable. Chad still bumped the kick, but it was quite a horrific botch for someone of Ricochet's caliber.

#1. Sami Zayn fell over during his entrance

Sami Zayn made his long overdue return to WWE on the Raw After WrestleMania and the former NXT Champion was able to hold his own in an Intercontinental Championship match against new Champion Finn Balor.

Zayn's night didn't start off great though as he made his way through the curtain and immediately misjudged the entrance dance that he was used to doing more than ten months ago and fell on the floor. Zayn recovered and managed to move forward, but his expression showed that this wasn't something that he expected to happen and it did take him a while to find his way back to his feet.

Later in the show, Sami turned heel on the WWE Universe, so it will be interesting to see if his dance is now taken away to avoid this in the future.
