WrestleMania has always been about making moments that will live-on in history because they're remembered by the WWE Universe forever. Moments that people can point to and say 'that was one of the greatest things to happen in professional wrestling'.

This year's 'Showcase of Immortals' promised to give us many classic true-to-life WrestleMania moments. We have Kofi Kingston's eleven-year journey towards a world championship, but could he overcome Daniel Bryan? We had the first ever women's main event, but would 'The Man' Becky Lynch triumph?

Well, we'll take a look at the things that happened at this WrestleMania that will be remembered forever, but suffice to say that it may go down as one of the best WrestleMania's WWE have ever put on, proving that perhaps they are listening to the fans after all!

So, without further ado, let's take a look at WrestleMania 35's most enduring and greatest moments that will go down in history as a classic WWE 'Mania moment for years to come


#4. Becky Lynch proves she really is 'The Man'

Let me just start this by saying that it was almost a shame that these women main evented the show. I'm not at all saying they shouldn't have at all! What I am saying is that the crowd were clearly exhausted after the 7-and-a-half hour show and the match didn't get the level of audience noise and reactions that it deserved. Even Lynch's triumph was fairly muted compared to some earlier moments when the crowd was livelier.

But, seeing Becky Lynch overcome Charlotte and Ronda Rousey to lift both the Raw and SmackDown Live Women's Titles in the first ever women's main event of WrestleMania was still a huge, huge moment.

Lynch was never supposed to be in the match, but rose in popularity to become the biggest star WWE had thanks to her bad-ass attitude and endearing promos. Lynch as a person has also always dreamed of winning a 'Mania main event and to see her literal dream come true was magical.

#3. The Miz Super-Super-Plex's Shane McMahon off of the hard-cam scaffolding

No-one really expected The Miz and Shane McMahon's brutal Falls Count Anywhere battle to be one of the standout moments of the entire WrestleMania show, even though we all knew deep down Shane McMahon was going to pull out one of his customary crazy bumps.

However, what were delivered by the two men, who perhaps have never been better, was a smart, exciting and compelling match between two men. One, who was trying to make his father proud and avenge the fact that his dad was attacked, and another who just isn't very nice.

But the climax of the match is the WrestleMania moment. The Miz and Shane McMahon battled to the top of the hard-cam platform and then The Miz, determined to hurt Shane McMahon, Super-Plexed him off of the platform into a soundstage below. It was amazing!

#2. Curt Hawkins' losing streak comes to an end

269, 269 is the number of matches that Curt Hawkins has wrestled over the last two-or-so years that he has failed to win. How could someone lose that many times? It certainly is one of the most incredible streaks in sports entertainment, or should I saw was...

That's because New York based home-town hero Curt Hawkins, reunited with the tag-team partner he won gold with ten years ago, Zack Ryder, managed to overcome the might of 'The Revival' to win the Raw Tag-Team Titles at WrestleMania and end the losing streak that's blighted his career.

It's a little sad it was at the expense of Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson but there's certainly no denying that Hawkins' losing run coming to an end was a fun, feel-good moment for the New York crowd.

#1. KofiMania!!!

Kofi Kingston's coronation as WWE Champion after finally overcoming Daniel Bryan, and Vince McMahon's lowly expectations was, perhaps, the biggest moment of WrestleMania 35 in terms of crowd reaction, mainly because the audience were still awake at this point.

But that should take nothing away from the emotion and heart and happiness on display from Kofi Kingston and his New Day teammates Big E and Xavier Woods. They managed to create a real organic feel-good moment out of an accident and carry it all the way to WrestleMania on a wave of positivity to create a true WrestleMania moment.

The best thing about it as well is that no-one ruined it, there wasn't a post-match attack by Daniel Bryan, there wasn't an earth-shattering revelation from Vince McMahon. Kofi and The New Day and his children were simply allowed to celebrate and enjoy the moment.
