#4 Brock Lesnar disagreed with his WrestleMania 35 match position
Seth Rollins’ WrestleMania 35 win over Brock Lesnar was supposed to take place before the Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey main event. However, a last-minute change saw the two men kick off the main pay-per-view instead.
The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer reported that Lesnar and Paul Heyman changed the match position on the day of the show. Due to the short notice, even WWE legend Hulk Hogan was unaware that Heyman was going to interrupt him in the opening segment.

Speaking in a WWE Break It Down video, Rollins confirmed that he did not expect to go on first when he showed up to WrestleMania.
“We opened the show, which was not the original card,” Rollins said. “You know, WWE is crazy and things change on a whim sometimes and that was one of them. The difference between going on close to midnight and going on at 7pm or 6pm, or whatever it is, is night and day, literally.”
Seth Rollins, a babyface at the time, went on to defeat Brock Lesnar in one of the biggest feel-good moments of the night. The two men continued to feud throughout 2019, leading to Rollins defeating Lesnar again in the main event of SummerSlam.
