4 unnoticed similarities between WrestleMania 34 and WrestleMania 35

The 35th edition of World Wrestling Entertainment's grandest pay-per-view, WrestleMania is in the history books as we witnessed some enthralling storylines culminate on the grandest stage of 'em all last Sunday. Kofi Kingston's 11-year-wait for his first WWE Championship victory ended, while the disastrous reign of the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar too was ended at the hands of Seth Rollins.

In the first ever women's WrestleMania main event, the Irish Lasskicker Becky Lynch overcame both Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair to become the first-ever female superstar to be called RAW and SmackDown Live Women's Champion at the same time. Besides, there were also a few similarities between WrestleMania 34 and WrestleMania 35, which went unnoticed by the WWE Universe.

So, without further ado, let's have a look at the 4 unnoticed similarities between the grandest PPVs of 2018 and 2019.

#1 Another Superstar wins the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal after winning the Raw Tag Team Championship at the previous 'Mania

Yes, surprisingly the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal match, which is expected to be every man for himself, has been won by two Superstars in a row who were RAW Tag Team Champion at the preceding 'Mania.

At WrestleMania 33, Matt Hardy made his triumphant return to WWE along with his brother Jeff, as the Hardy Boyz captured the RAW Tag Team Championships in a ladder match. Next year, Matt Hardy won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at the WrestleMania 34 kick-off show.

WWE Creatives used the same formula again and booked Braun Strowman (who had won the RAW Tag Team Titles with Nicholas at WrestleMania 34) to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 35.

So, if WWE looks to continue this trend then expect Zack Ryder or Curt Hawkins to emerge victorious in the next Battle Royal.

#2 Charlotte Flair and the Usos walked into 'Mania 34 and 35 with SmackDown Live titles

WWE wants Charlotte Flair and the Usos at the helm of the blue brand in WrestleMania season

The SmackDown Women's Championship and the SmackDown Tag Team Championships were both defended by the same superstars at WrestleMania 34 and WrestleMania 35.

The Queen Charlotte Flair had put her SmackDown Women's Title on the line against the undefeated Asuka at last year's WrestleMania. While at this year's grandest event, the 8x Women's Champion defended the blue brand's top women's title in a ''Winner Takes All'' match, also involving RAW Womens Champion, Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch.

In the same way, the Samoan twins, Jimmy and Jey Uso had battled in a triple threat match versus the New Day and the Bludgeon Brothers, with their SmackDown Tag Team Championships at stake. At the following WrestleMania, The Usos defended the titles in a fatal 4-way match against the team of Ricochet and Aleister Black, The Bar and the team of Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura.

#3 WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar defends his title against another Shield Member

Brock Lesnar put the title on the line against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34 and then versus Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35

Apart from Charlotte Flair and The Usos, Brock Lesnar was one such champion who walked in with the same title in both the WrestleManias. But, unlike Flair and the twins, there was a common characteristic between the opponents of Brock Lesnar. Both of Brock Lesnar's opponents were members of WWE's most credible faction, The Shield.

Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose had debuted as The Shield way back in 2012 and the three individuals then split to focus on their singles careers. Reigns was chosen as the company's golden boy and thus, he received a mega push last year where he defeated six other men inside the Elimination Chamber to earn a shot at Lesnar's title.

As Reigns was sidelined due to Leukemia this year, his Shield brother Seth Rollins received a WrestleMania match as he outlasted 29 other men to challenge the Universal Champion. In fact, Brock Lesnar became the only superstar to face all the members of the Shield in singles matches at WrestleMania. The Beast had earlier battled Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania 32.

#4 Australia born female superstars become first-time champions

The women from Down Under reigned supreme at WrestleMania

In the Raw Women's Championship match of WrestleMania 34, Sydney-born Nia Jax defeated Little Miss Bliss to win her first ever main roster title. Jax and Bliss had developed a heated rivalry on the red brand which led to a grudge match at the grandest stage with Bliss' championship at stake.

This year, Nia's compatriots, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce made history by becoming the first ever Australian duo to win the Women's Tag Team Championships, when they defeated the Boss 'n' Hug Connection, the Divas of Doom and the Samoan Slaughterhouse in a fatal 4-way match. It was Billie Kay who got the job done for her team as she pinned Bayley to execute a title change.

Thus, the women of Australia made their nation proud by capturing the gold at the Show of Shows.
