WrestleMania 35 was the longest WWE pay-per-view in history and it contained a number of interesting swerves, spots and title changes. Despite the entire show amassing a run time of more than 7 hours, the show managed to keep the WWE Universe intrigued throughout from Cruiserweight title match through to Raw Women's Championship.

WrestleMania has always been a time of year for making history and the stats that came out of last night will follow many WWE superstars around for the rest of their career, so it's always nice to keep track of what records are attached to each superstar, since they pop up every now and then on Raw and SmackDown.

WrestleMania was a long show with 16 matches throughout so here are some of the most interesting statistics to come out of last night.


#5. Kofi Kingston Is Now A Grand Slam Champion

Kofi Kingston did the unthinkable last night at WrestleMania when he was able to overcome the odds and defeat Daniel Bryan despite the fact that he obviously wasn't the first choice to be part of the match.

Kingston picked up the win off Trouble In Paradise last night to become a Grand Slam Champion after finally being able to pick up the WWE Championship after more than a decade of pushing for the company to take him seriously.

Kingston is already a former Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Champion, former three-time United States Champion, four-time Intercontinental Champion and now finally completes his Grand Slam by picking up WWE's most decorated Championship.

The group was at ringside to watch Kingston become Champion and celebrated the win by revealing a new shirt which is dedicated to Kofi Kingston becoming the new WWE Champion.

#4. Seth Rollins joins an elite group of wrestlers

Seth Rollins picked up perhaps the biggest upset win of the night last night when he managed to defeat Brock Lesnar inside three minutes to secure his first ever Universal Championship. Rollins has been pushing for the title ever since it was created back in 2016 but lost to Finn Balor at SummerSlam 2016 when the title was introduced.

Rollins now joins just Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns in an elite group of wrestlers who have held the Universal and WWE Championships. Lesnar took the title from Goldberg at WrestleMania 33 before Roman Reigns defeated him for the title at SummerSlam last year, Brock reclaimed the Championship at Crown Jewel in November and dropped the title in quite a short match at WrestleMania last night.

Rollins has now won both the World Championship and the Universal Championship by using the Curb Stomp.

#3. Most title changes at a WrestleMania event

Eight titles changed hands last night at WrestleMania as WWE put together one of the most packed cards in the history of the event. The Cruiserweight Championship, Raw Tag Team Championships, Women's Tag Team Championships, Universal Championship, WWE Championship, Raw and SmackDown Women's Championship and the Intercontinental Championships all changed hands as part of last night's show which is the most that have ever changed hands at the biggest event of the year.

In fairness, this is perhaps the most titles that have been on the line in WWE at WrestleMania since the company continues to bring in Championships and the Women's Tag Team Championships were defended for the first time. At present, there are 10 recognizable Championships on WWE's main roster right now with the SmackDown Tag Team Championships and the United States Championship the only ones retained in New Jersey on Sunday night.

#2. Kane finally overcomes his brother

The Undertaker failed to show last night at WrestleMania, despite reports that The Deadman was in New York and could have made a last ditch effort to be part of proceedings. This was the first time that The Deadman had failed to appear at Mania since 2000, which means that his consecutive match streak at the show now ends at 18.

Undertaker is in second place when it comes to the record for most consecutive matches at WrestleMania since his brother Kane holds the record with 19, a record that he could have equaled if he had been part of last night's show.

Given how much Undertaker dominated the business throughout Kane's career, it's nice that The Devil's Favourite Demon has been able to maintain an impressive WrestleMania record of his own.

#1. The Streak Is Over!

WrestleMania has seen the end of some of the most impressive streaks in WWE history over the past few years which include The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania 30 when he fell victim to Brock Lesnar, Asuka's streak coming to an end at the hands of Charlotte just a year ago and last night the longest losing streak in WWE history was finally put to bed as Curt Hawkins won the Raw Tag Team Championships after 269 losses.

It's annoying since Curt Hawkins deserved much more build up and definitely a match on the main card if he was set to end this on-going streak, but WWE being the way that they are, they pushed the Raw Tag Team Championship match onto the kick off show and the streak came to an end, which was a huge deal for the watching crowd, but it was lost amongst the shuffle of the night.
