As WrestleMania 35 wrapped up just recently, all the conversation is steered towards 3 main champions heading out of the event itself.

These champions are Seth Rollins (Universal Champion), Becky Lynch (RAW & SmackDown Live Women's Champion) and Kofi Kingston (WWE Champion), respectively. However, WrestleMania is a show that keeps getting lengthier each and every year.

As the approximate duration amounts to a staggering 7+ hours worth of content, there are always matches that will end up being underappreciated for some reason or the other.

With that being said, here are the Most Underrated Matches from WrestleMania 35...

#3: The Usos (c) vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet vs. Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura vs. The Bar (SmackDown Live Tag Team Championship Match)

The SmackDown Live Tag Team Division has been on a roll lately.

Four of the fiercest teams on SmackDown Live, including The Bar, The Usos, Shinsuke Nakamura & Rusev, and Aleister Black & Ricochet went head-to-head for the SmackDown Live Tag Team Championships.

The Usos stood victorious at the end, thereby retaining their well-deserved titles.

However, some of the best highlights of the match included Cesaro spinning Ricochet in the Cesaro Swing for minutes, while Sheamus grabbed anyone within reach and pummeled them with the Beats of the Bodhrán.

The bout devolved into utter chaos when a stacked superplex-powerbomb combo from the top rope brought all eight men crashing down straight to the mat.

After a quick series of events, The Usos took down Sheamus with double superkicks, and later, The Usos would execute a double splash from the top rope and successfully pin Sheamus for the three-count in order to retain their Tag Titles.

Sure, this wasn't the most newsworthy match of the evening, but it certainly caught everyone's interest during the moment, proving to be one of the Most Underrated Matches at this year's WrestleMania.

#2: Tony Nese vs. Buddy Murphy (c) (WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match)

Tony Nese winning the WWE Cruiserweight Championship at this year's WrestleMania Kickoff Show would be the first of many title changes to occur at WrestleMania 35.

Nevertheless, there were several matches on the Main Show that proved to be less exhilarating than the Cruiserweight Title Matchup, which shows just how much Tony Nese and Buddy Murphy deserved to slug it out on the Main Card.

Sure, they aren't household names yet.

But a spot on the Main Card would have at least gotten the 205 Live brand some well-deserved global exposure, while also putting it in contrast with other feuds on the same card.

Buddy Murphy vs. Tony Nese was one of the best matches of the night, where Tony Nese earned his own WrestleMania moment.

The Premier Era has officially begun on 205 Live.

#1: The Miz vs. Shane McMahon (Falls Count Anywhere Match)

The Miz's father, George Mizanin has turned into an Internet Sensation after bravely squaring off against Shane McMahon in the ring.

Moreover, the last bump of the match that included The Miz suplexing Shane McMahon off a plank into the platform below should've garnered enough attention towards this Falls Count Anywhere bout.

Even though the match itself has gained some praise from fans and critics alike, The Miz vs. Shane McMahon was easily overshadowed by other big matches that took place on the same night.

Towards the end, neither man was in the position to fight any longer, but Shane, by sheer happenstance, had landed on top of The Miz, giving the referee more than enough leeway to make the three-count.

Not all stories have happy endings. However, this bout deserves a special shout-out for being one of the most underrated matches of the night.
