WrestleMania 35 is now just days away and it appears that the show itself is set to make history in a number of ways, from housing the first ever women's main event at WrestleMania to becoming the longest pay-per-view in WWE history, this year could be one of the best that the company has ever created.

There are already 16 matches set to take place on the WrestleMania card, so the show itself looks set to be a long one, but there are a number of Championship changes that could occur throughout and the stipulation that Triple H could end his career at this year's show to keep the WWE Universe occupied.

Here are 5 interesting statistics that every member of the WWE Universe needs to know ahead of the show.


#5. Aleister Black and Ricochet Will Make History

Aleister Black and Ricochet came up short in their quest for the Raw Tag Team Championships Monday night on Raw, but they didn't have to wait long to be given a second chance. SmackDown Live last night saw WrestleMania host Alexa Bliss announced that the two NXT stars would be part of the field competing for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania on Sunday night instead.

Add this to the fact that Black and Ricochet are already on the card for NXT Takeover: New York where they battle The War Raiders for the NXT Tag Team Championships and it appears that the unlikely duo have become the first team in WWE history to compete for all three main WWE tag team Championships in less than a week.

The duo now have the chance to walk out of New York as dual Champions if all the results go their way.

Becky Lynch makes history on Sunday night in the WrestleMania main event and could easily be the woman walking out with both the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships. Interestingly, Lynch is already making history just by being in the match since she is just the 12th person to main event WrestleMania without being on the card the year before.

Lynch was on the kickoff show back in 2018, but she is the only person out of the 12 listed to have completed this incredible feat that was actually active in WWE the year before. The likes of The Rock and Batista were not active wrestlers for the company the year before they main evented the show, which means that The Man is currently in a class of her own.

WrestleMania 35 is already set to be the biggest ever, but the sheer amount of talent that will be included in the show proves that it's set to be the biggest pay-per-view of all time. Last year's WrestleMania set quite a few records since it included two battle royals for the first time and 85 competitors over the entire show but this year has gone a step further.

WWE is yet to announce The Revival vs Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder but it's expected to be added to the card at some point in the coming days, which would take the superstar count to well into the 90s.

Currently, there are 87 superstars set to compete at WrestleMania, with a number of others much like Lana (when valeting Rusev) and Paul Heyman still an active part of the show, but not included in the overall competitor count.

#2. Kofi Kingston's Up Against It

Kofi Kingston has put everything into his current mission to face Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35 and many believe that he could actually pull off the upset victory in a way that Daniel Bryan knows too well, given the fact that he once overcame the odds and fought against The Authority to become World Champion back at WrestleMania 30.

If Kingston is victorious in his match then he will become the first person born outside of the USA or Canada to win the WWE Championship at WWE's biggest show of the year. It's definitely something for Kofi Kingston and The New Day to sink their teeth into if he is able to hit Trouble in Paradise on Sunday Night and make some more history after months of pushing for this opportunity.

#1. Ronda Rousey's Pay-Per-View Streak

Ronda Rousey walks into WrestleMania as the longest reigning Raw Women's Champion and just the fourth longest-reigning Women's Champion in WWE history. Rousey is still undefeated in singles matches in WWE which is why the current Champion currently holds the longest pay-per-view streak in WWE.

Rousey is currently at 10 consecutive wins, behind Charlotte Flair who started her main roster career with an impressive 13 wins on pay-per-view. Rousey has dominated the Women's Division over the past year but she's failed to compete in as many pay-per-view matches as Flair did to start her career, which is holding her back at present.

It will be interesting to see if Rousey is able to go one step closer to breaking Flair's record at WrestleMania or if Flair will become the first dual Women's Champion as well as an already history-making eight-time Women's Champion.
