Finally, we are done with WrestleMania as the roller coaster ride came to an end at the MetLife Arena in New Jersey. The event was marked with one too many OMG moments as the WWE Universe enjoyed the spectacular WrestleMania 35.

From retirement matches to surprise returns, the event was utterly stupendous and the fans will cherish it for a very long time!

Talking about WrestleMania 35, now it is off the shelf, there were quite a few intriguing points to note. Here we list down the 8 things that the WWE secretly told us at the Grandest Stage Of Them All:


#7 Embrace yourself for a Seth Rollins heel turn

Will we see Seth turn heel soon?

Seth Rollins’ victory over Brock Lesnar was nothing less than mind-boggling! The Architect had been speaking about it all on the road as he looked to dethrone Lesnar as the guy and become the new Universal Champion. The WWE Universe did anticipate a high-octane clash, which it turned out to be but the most surprising factor of the match was the way Seth won.

The Beastslayer as we might call him now, did low blow Lesnar twice on Raw last week and continued to display his new trick by doing it again at the grandest stage of them all. At one point the beast looked set to retain the title courtesy of his brutal assault on the architect which went on and on before Seth recouped his strength to take the fight to Lesnar.

During the high flowing action, Seth somehow was able to hit Lesnar with yet another low blow which turned out to be the turning point as the architect capitalised on a hurt Lesnar to win the Universal Championship upon hitting numerous stomps. While Seth has been portrayed as the ultimate hero in this storyline, his victory over Lesnar will surely ignite many arguments.

With all that being said, it now seems like the reason why Seth did not attain a clean win over Brock is that the company has something special in store for The Shield member. Remember the good old days when Seth played a heel and literally enjoyed a glorious run? Well, that might be coming back soon!

Expect Seth to carry on with his new found style of low blowing his opponents and soon the architect will be back in the role we all simply loved him in and that is as a vicious wicked heel who just craves to win no matter how he does it, no matter who he betrays unless and until he ends up as the last man standing

#6 Lights off for Mr 619?

Rey Mysterio has done it all in the company from winning major championships to significant matches, the master of 619 has a mighty impressive resume. But one thing remains absent from that commendable CV is a US title reign in WWE.

Rey battled Samoa Joe in aid to become the United States champion for the very first time in his career and win the belt that he never been a proud owner of.

Sadly for Rey, the match turned out to be entirely one-sided as Samoa Joe strolled past the Mexican magician as he retained the United States quite comfortably!

After witnessing what happened at the MetLife Arena, there remains one daunting question in heart of Rey Mystery Devotees- is Rey done at the top?

#5 Braun Stowman is still a hot commodity

The Road to WrestleMania was an eventful one for many superstars but there were certain big names who had no major plans for the most the part and one such man was Braun Strowman. The Monster Among Men was one of the best performers for the company in 2018 as he climbed up the ladder to become the top attraction on either brand.

Unfortunately for Braun, things didn’t turn out to be the same in 2019 as the monster hit a rough patch which quite frankly was upsetting considering the enormous talent Braun possesses. When Strowman was announced to be part of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal alongside Colin Jost and Michael Che, it seemed like the company was planning a special celebrity moment for the two comedians at the showcase of immortals.

Which might come at the cost of some embarrassment for Braun Strowman owing to their recent history but WWE clearly showed that Braun is too special to be losing to some celebrities in a match as historic as the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Braun won the battle royal, which clearly states that the company still considers Stowman as a valuable asset who will be featuring prominently in the future.

#4 Roman is set for yet another gigantic push

Roman Reigns returned on Raw weeks ago to announce his return to in-ring action. Roman relinquished the Universal title back in October as he opened up to the WWE Universe about his ongoing battle with leukaemia. Fortunately for Roman and millions of avid WWE fans, the Big Dog is back to enthral us again courtesy of his cancer being in remission.

Following his return, Roman indulged in a heated feud with Drew McIntyre as the two have been tearing each other apart on Raw. It’s no secret that Drew had been the dominant one up until WrestleMania as the Scottish Psychopath inflicted numerous brutal assaults on past few editions of Raw.

Things did favour Drew heading onto WrestleMania 35 as Drew looked to complete a clean sweep over The Shield by defeating Roman but, unfortunately, the big dog waved off Drew’s challenge as stood victories at the grandest stage of them all.

McIntyre has been the top heel on raw, thus handing Roman a victory over him is quite huge considering the fact the big yard just returned to reclaim his yard. The victory will hold a lot of significance and don’t be surprised to see yet another face run for Roman Reigns.

#3 Baron Corbin is the top heel

Raw has been home to 3 dominant heels for the past few months who go by the name of Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley and Baron Corbin. The three powerhouses have been as brutal, as vicious and as dominant as it gets. The three even battled The Shield at Fastlane which turned to be a quite close affair as the hounds of justice prevailed over the trio.

Irrespective of the result, the trio of heels was pretty impressive. Now look at this; of all those three men, only Baron Corbin came out victorious at the Showcase of Immortals. Corbin carried his impressive form to 'Mania as he followed his major victory over Rey mystery last week on raw by defeating Kurt Angle in his farewell match at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Ever since Corbin was named as the final opponent for Angle, the outrage was missives as the WWE Universe couldn’t digest the fact that the last match in the legendary career of Kurt Angle will have Baron Corbin in it.

Now, it seems like the company had major plans for Corbin all along as with this gigantic victory over Kurt at WrestleMania 35. We now can decode WWE’s plans which do suggest that Baron Corbin is set to be the top heel on Raw.

#2 Brock Lesnar will come back

Brock Lesnar had a rather shocking WrestleMania this year. The Beast started out strongly by taking out Rollins before the bell even rang as he decimated the architect with a vicious attack. Lesnar gained an upper hand early in the match and it seemed like the Universal Championship was to stay with the Beast Incarnate.

As the hopes of witnessing a new champion were fading away, there we had Seth Rollins using what WWE enthusiasts call a cheap tactic ie. a low blow.

Rollins prevailed over The Beast but not in a very pleasant way which does suggest that WWE did that for a reason and that reason was to keep Lesnar’s image as an indestructible force alive.

Seth might have won but the manner in which he won wasn't really appealing thus protecting Brock reputation as the dominant badass which does suggest that beast is still an active part of campy's plans.

#1 No more bright tees for John Cena

Let’s be honest here; we all knew someone was going to show up right during Elias’ performance but none of us expected the Doctor of Thuganomics would show to take us back to 2002. John Cena walked to the ring to give Elias a piece of his mind via a well-written rap.

Cena hinted at what could be a prominent change in his character which would ideally be the aptest way of keeping Cena relevant on the main roster. For the last decade and more we have seen John Cena as the babyface who has been the hero for the WWE Universe.

But the ardent supporters of this gigantic organisation have been asking for a character change to occur for John Cena and it seems like the company has heard their plea and we might be seeing a different John Cena now. A John Cena reminiscent of the past will be an utter delight to watch.
