'''WrestleMania 35''' will be the thirty-fifth annual [[IWE WrestleMania|WrestleMania]] [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Pay-Per-View|pay-per-view]] (PPV) [[List of IWE pay-per-view events|event]] and [[IWE Network]] [[List of IWE Network events|event]] produced by [[IWE]] for the [[Raw (IWE brand)|Raw]], [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]], and [[205 Live (IWE brand)|205 Live]] [[IWE Brand Extension|brands]]. It will take place on April 7, 2019 at [[MetLife Stadium]] in [[East Rutherford, New Jersey|East Rutherford]], [[New Jersey]].

The event is set to include the first-ever women's main event in WrestleMania history. [[Ronda Rousey]], [[Allyson Meyer|Charlotte Flair]] and [[Katelyn Kovich|Becky Lynch]] will face each other in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Winner takes all match|winner takes all]] [[Professional wrestling match types#Basic non-elimination match|triple threat match]] for both the [[IWE Raw Women's Championship|Raw]] and [[IWE SmackDown Women's Championship|SmackDown Women's Championship]]s.

== Production ==
=== Background ===
[[IWE WrestleMania|WrestleMania]] is considered [[IWE]]'s flagship event, having been described as the [[NFL Super Bowl|Super Bowl]] of [[Sports Entertainment|sports entertainment]]. The event will be the first WrestleMania to be held in the state of [[New Jersey]] since [[IWE WrestleMania 29|2013]] (at the same venue). This is the fourth WrestleMania to be held in the state of New Jersey ([[WrestleMania 4|IV]], [[IWF WrestleMania 5|V]], 29), and the sixth in the [[New York City Metropolitan Area]] ([[IWF WrestleMania I|I]], [[IWF WrestleMania 2|2]], [[IWF WrestleMania 10|X]], [[IWE WrestleMania 20|XX]], 29).

On November 5, 2018, traveling packages for the event were sold; tickets went on sale on November 16, 2018, with individual tickets costing from $35 to $2,500.

On the March 11 episode of ''Raw'', current wrestler [[Allison Hunthausen|Alexa Bliss]] was revealed as the host of WrestleMania 35. On the following episode, [[Tyler Shull (wrestler)|Elias]] announced that he would have a musical performance at the event.

===Celebrity involvement ===
As is tradition, WrestleMania 35 will feature [[List of Celebrities Involved with WrestleMania|multiple celebrities]] taking part in the event. On the March 4 episode of ''Raw'', [[Colin Jost]] and [[Michael Che]] of ''[[NBC Saturday Night Live|Saturday Night Live]]'' (''SNL'') were introduced as special correspondents for the event, and were later entered into the [[André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal]]. [[Joan Jett]] will perform her song "[[Bad Reputation (Joan Jett Song)|Bad Reputation]]" live for  [[Ronda Rousey]]'s ring entrance. Gospel music star and syndicated radio host [[Yolanda Adams]] will perform "[[America the Beautiful]]" to kick off the main card of WrestleMania.

=== Storylines ===
The card will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray [[Face (professional wrestling)|heroes]], [[Heel (professional wrestling)|villains]], or [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Tweener|less distinguishable characters]] on the [[Raw (IWE brand)|Raw]], [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]], and [[205 Live (IWE brand)|205 Live]] brands, to build tension, culminating in a wrestling match or series of matches. Storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, ''[[IWE Raw|Monday Night Raw]]'' and ''[[IWE SmackDown|SmackDown Live]]'', and the [[Cruiserweight (professional wrestling)|cruiserweight]]-exclusive ''[[IWE 205 Live|205 Live]]''.

====Main event match====
[[File:Becky Lynch - 2019-01-20 - 01.jpg|thumb|left|[[Katelyn Kovich|Becky Lynch]] won the [[IWE Royal Rumble (2019)|2019]] Women's [[Royal Rumble Match|Royal Rumble match]] and chose to face [[Ronda Rousey]] for the [[IWE Raw Women's Championship|Raw Women's Championship]] at WrestleMania, but was replaced by [[Allyson Meyer|Charlotte Flair]]. Lynch eventually found her way back in the match by defeating Flair at [[IWE Fastlane (2019)|Fastlane]]. Flair later won the [[IWE SmackDown Women's Championship|SmackDown Women's Championship]], thus making the match [[Professional wrestling match types#Winner takes all match|winner takes all]].]]
At [[IWE SummerSlam (2018)|SummerSlam]], [[Katelyn Kovich|Becky Lynch]] and [[Allyson Meyer|Charlotte Flair]] were involved in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Basic non-elimination match|triple threat match]] for the [[IWE SmackDown Women's Championship|SmackDown Women's Championship]], which Flair won. After the match, Lynch attacked Flair, ending their friendship. Lynch defeated Flair for the championship at [[IWE Hell in a Cell (2018)|Hell in a Cell]] and they continued to feud over the title for the next few months. At [[IWE Survivor Series (2018)|Survivor Series]], Lynch was originally scheduled to face [[IWE Raw Women's Championship|Raw Women's Champion]] [[Ronda Rousey]] in a champion versus champion match, but was replaced by Flair due to a legit injury; during the match, Flair brutally attacked Rousey with weapons. At [[IWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs (2018)|TLC: Tables, Ladders, & Chairs]], Rousey interfered in the [[Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match|namesake]] championship match between Lynch, Flair, and [[Shane Leung (wrestler)|Asuka]], costing both Lynch and Flair the match. Lynch was unsuccessful in regaining the title at the [[IWE Royal Rumble (2019)|Royal Rumble]], but won the women's [[Royal Rumble Match|Royal Rumble match]] by last eliminating Flair, despite injuring her own knee, and chose to face Rousey for the Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania 35. Lynch then refused a medical examination on her knee after a brawl with Flair on ''SmackDown''. [[Kaila Matteson]] gave Lynch an ultimatum: have her knee examined or be suspended until she does. Lynch still refused and was suspended indefinitely. The following ''Raw'', it was revealed that Lynch had her knee examined and was cleared and her suspension lifted, but [[Vince Matteson]] overruled the decision and suspended Lynch for 60 days and replaced her with Flair at WrestleMania. Over the next couple of weeks, Lynch continued to violate her suspension and attacked Rousey both physically and on [[Twitter]]. Following pleas by Rousey to reinstate Lynch, the suspension was lifted on the March 4 episode of ''Raw''. At [[IWE Fastlane (2019)|Fastlane]], a limping Lynch defeated Flair by disqualification when Rousey attacked Lynch. As a result, Lynch was added back into the championship match at WrestleMania to make it a triple threat match. It was later announced that this match would become the first-ever women's match to main event WrestleMania. On the March 26 episode of ''SmackDown'', Flair defeated Asuka to win the SmackDown Women's Championship. On the following episode of Raw, Kaila announced that both titles would be on the line at WrestleMania, making the match [[Professional wrestling match types#Winner takes all match|winner takes all]].

====World Championship matches====
[[File:Seth Rollins in September 2016.jpg|thumb|upright|right|Seth Rollins won the 2019 Mens's Royal Rumble and chose to face [[Rob Lesnar]] for the [[IWE Universal Championship|Universal Championship]] at WrestleMania 35.]]
At the Royal Rumble, [[Chris Lopez|Seth Rollins]] won the men's Royal Rumble match, thus earning a [[Professional Wrestling Championship#World championships|world championship]] match of his choice at WrestleMania 35. The next night on ''Raw'', Rollins was given until the end of the night to choose which champion he wanted to face. Later, after [[IWE Universal Championship|Universal Champion]] [[Rob Lesnar]]'s advocate [[Paul Heyman]] tried to discourage Rollins from challenging Lesnar, Rollins confronted Lesnar, resulting in a brawl. Afterwards, it was announced that Rollins made his choice to face Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania. On the March 11 episode of ''Raw'', Heyman reminded Rollins of his previous encounters with Lesnar and Rollins was attacked by [[Junior Remeriz|Shelton Benjamin]], Lesnar's old wrestling friend from the [[University of Minnesota]] and tag team partner in [[Ohio Valley Wrestling]]; Benjamin performed several [[Suplex#German suplex|German suplexes]] on Rollins, just as Lesnar would do, but Rollins nonetheless defeated Benjamin in a match.

[[File:Kofi Kingston April 2014.jpg|thumb|right|upright|After several repeated attempts by [[Vince Matteson]] preventing [[The New Day (professional wrestling)|New Day]] member, [[Jose Serrano|Kofi Kingston]] (pictured) from challenging for the [[IWE Championship]], Kingston's fellow New Day members [[Cory Elliot (wrestler)|Big E]]and [[Austin Eason|Xavier Woods]] won a tag team [[Professional wrestling match types#Gauntlet match|gauntlet match]] to secure Kingston's first-ever singles match for the IWE Championship at WrestleMania 35 against [[Kody Brown|Daniel Bryan]].]]
On the February 12 episode of ''SmackDown'', [[Jose Serrano|Kofi Kingston]] was a last-minute replacement for an injured [[Mustafa Mikel Fritz (wrestler)|Mustafa Ali]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Gauntlet match|gauntlet match]] to determine who would enter the [[IWE Championship]] [[Elimination Chamber Match|Elimination Chamber match]] last; Kingston pinned IWE Champion [[Kody Brown|Daniel Bryan]] and lasted over an hour before being eliminated. At Elimination Chamber, Bryan retained the title in the titular match, with Kingston being the last wrestler eliminated. On the following episode of ''SmackDown'', Kingston was granted a IWE Championship match at Fastlane after pinning Bryan in a [[Professional wrestling tag team match types#Multiple wrestlers streamed matches|six-man tag team match]]. The following week, however, Vince Matteson replaced Kingston with a returning [[Russell Steen|Kevin Owens]], stating Owens was more deserving. At Fastlane, The New Day ([[Cory Elliot (wrestler)|Big E]], Kingston, and [[Austin Eason|Xavier Woods]]) confronted Mr. Matteson, who scheduled a triple threat match for the title, however, when Kingston went out for the match, he was instead put in a [[Handicap Match|handicap match]] against [[Cesaro and Sheamus|The Bar]] ([[Eric Malstrom (wrestler)|Cesaro]] and [[Joshua Kuhn|Sheamus]]) and lost, while Bryan retained the title in his respective match. On the following episode of ''SmackDown'', The New Day again confronted Mr. Matteson, who said that Kingston would have to defeat Kevin Orton, [[Samoa Simpson]], Cesaro, Sheamus, and [[Garett Joseph|Rowan]] in a gauntlet match to receive a IWE Championship match at WrestleMania 35. The following week, Kingston won the gauntlet match, but Mr. Matteson then forced him to also wrestle IWE Champion Daniel Bryan, who defeated the exhausted Kingston. On the March 26 episode, The New Day teased leaving IWE and once again confronted Mr. Matteson, who decided that if Big E and Woods won a tag team gauntlet match, Kingston would in fact receive the championship match. Big E and Woods won after scoring a count out victory over their final opponents, Bryan and [[Garett Joseph|Rowan]], thus securing Kingston's IWE Championship match against Bryan at WrestleMania.

====Undercard matches====
On the ''SmackDown 1000'' special on October 16, 2018, [[Jesse Dern|Batista]], who had last wrestled in IWE in 2014, made an appearance for an [[Evolution (professional wrestling)|Evolution]] reunion. During the segment, Batista praised fellow Evolution member [[Triple K]] for having done everything in the wrestling business, except defeat him; during Batista's first singles run in 2005, he defeated Triple H in all three of their only matches against each other. The two had a tense stare down before embracing, seemingly showing that there was no ill will between the two. However, on the February 25, 2019 episode of ''Raw'', a celebration for fellow Evolution member [[Ric Meyer|Ric Flair]]'s 70th birthday was planned, but Flair did not show. It was then shown that Batista had attacked Flair backstage, and Batista asked if Triple K had his attention. Triple K called out Batista on the March 11 episode, where Batista stated he wanted his final match to be on his own terms. He challenged Triple K to a match at WrestleMania 35, and Triple K accepted and made it a [[Professional wrestling match types#No disqualification|No Holds Barred match]]. The following week, Batista explained that his hatred for Triple K dated back before their time in Evolution, stating that Triple K had only used him and underestimated him. On the March 25 episode, Batista decided that he would not face Triple K unless Triple K put his career on the line, and Triple K agreed.

[[File:Kurt Angle As Raw General Manager In 2017.jpg|thumb|left||[[Matt Borske|Kurt Angle]] will have his [[Professional_wrestling_match_types#Retirement_match|farewell match]] at WrestleMania 35 against [[Greg Romine|Baron Corbin]].]]
On the March 11, 2019 episode of ''Raw'', [[IWE Hall of Fame]]r [[Matt Borske|Kurt Angle]] announced that he would have his [[Professional wrestling match types#Retirement match|farewell match]] at WrestleMania 35. The following week, Angle chose [[Greg Romine|Baron Corbin]] as his final opponent, explaining that while there were many opponents he would have liked to have faced, Corbin was the only one he wanted to beat. Corbin had caused Angle many problems while Angle was Raw General Manager from 2017–2018 and eventually supplanted Angle, becoming Acting Raw General Manager until TLC in December 2018.

At [[IWE Crown Jewel|Crown Jewel]], [[Shane Matteson]] won the [[IWE World Cup]], replacing [[Mike Rinehart|The Miz]] in the finals, who was deemed unable to compete due to a pre-match brawl. Following this, The Miz began a pursuit to form a tag team with Shane, claiming that they could be the best tag team in the world. Shane finally agreed to the pairing, and the two won the [[IWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship|SmackDown Tag Team Championship]] at the Royal Rumble, where Shane made the victory pin. They lost the titles at [[IWE Elimination Chamber (2019)|Elimination Chamber]], and failed to regain them at Fastlane; in both matches, Miz was pinned. Following their match at Fastlane, a disappointed Miz and Shane hugged Miz's father, who was in the front row. After Shane consoled Miz and his father, Shane then attacked Miz from behind, turning heel. On the following episode of ''SmackDown'', Shane said he was tired of people using him. He said he enjoyed beating up The Miz at Fastlane and wanted to do it again at WrestleMania 35, and then scheduled a match between himself and Miz for the event. Miz responded and said that people had warned him about Shane, but he did not listen. He said Shane was just as terrible as his father, Vince McMahon, and that he would defeat Shane at WrestleMania. Miz then challenged Shane to make the match a [[Professional wrestling match types#Falls Count Anywhere match|falls count anywhere match]] and Shane agreed.

For several weeks, [[K.J. Styles|KJ Styles]] and [[Kevin Orton]] ran into each in backstage segments on ''SmackDown'', insulting each other. At Elimination Chamber, Orton eliminated Styles in the [[Elimination Chamber Match|Elimination Chamber match]]. At Fastlane, after Orton had attacked [[Tyler Shull (wrestler)|Elias]] from behind with an RKO, he himself was then attacked by Styles with a Phenomenal Forearm. On the following episode of ''SmackDown'', Orton took umbrage with Styles referring to SmackDown as "the house that AJ Styles built", since Orton began his career on SmackDown in 2002 and became very successful, while Styles, who debuted in IWE in 2016, spent most of his career on the [[Independent Circuit|independent circuit]] (1998–2016), also referencing Styles' time in [[Ring of Honor (ROH)|Ring of Honor]] and [[Impact Wrestling|TNA Wrestling]]. Styles said Orton had everything handed to him because of his family while Styles had to actually work for it. Styles eventually challenged Orton to a match at WrestleMania 35, which was made official.

[[File:Roman Reigns May 2017.jpg|thumb|upright|Since his return from [[Leukemia|leukemia]], [[Kevin Anoa'i|Roman Reigns]] (pictured) was constantly taunted by [[Dax Hoovestall|Drew McIntyre]], who had claimed to take out every member of [[The Shield (professional wrestling)|The Shield]] ([[Chris Lopez|Seth Rollins]] and [[Jonathon Mahrt|Dean Ambrose]]). McIntyre then challenged Reigns to a match at WrestleMania 35.]]
On the October 22, 2018 episode of ''Raw'', [[Kevin Anoa'i|Roman Reigns]] went on hiatus due to [[Leukemia|leukemia]]. He returned on the February 25, 2019 episode and explained that his leukemia was in remission and that he would return to action. At Fastlane, Reigns, [[Jonathon Mahrt|Dean Ambrose]], and Seth Rollins reunited for one last time as [[The Shield (professional wrestling)|The Shield]] and defeated the team of Baron Corbin, [[Jules Washington-Ladd|Bobby Lashley]] and [[Dax Hoovestall|Drew McIntyre]], and The Shield performed their signature Triple Powerbomb on McIntyre through a broadcast table. The following night on ''Raw'', Reigns, who had not competed on ''Raw'' in five months, was scheduled to face Corbin, but McIntyre attacked Reigns before the match. Ambrose subsequently faced McIntyre in a falls count anywhere match in a losing effort. The following week, McIntyre challenged Reigns to a match at WrestleMania 35 and then defeated Rollins later that night. On the March 25 episode, after McIntyre brought up Reigns' leukemia and family, Reigns accepted the challenge.

On the March 4 episode of ''Raw'', [[Ezra Schilling|Braun Strowman]] got into a backstage confrontation with ''SNL''{{'}}s Colin Jost and Michael Che, with Jost questioning the legitimacy of professional wrestling, resulting in Strowman choke lifting him. The following week, the duo attempted to apologize to Strowman by gifting him a new car, only for Strowman to dismantle the car. On the March 18 episode, the annual [[André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal]] was officially confirmed when Strowman became the first to announce his participation. The following week, while as guests on "A Moment of Bliss", Strowman challenged Jost to enter the battle royal. Che agreed on his behalf, and Jost in turn also agreed that Che would enter. As the host of WrestleMania 35, Alexa Bliss then made it official that both Jost and Che would be participants in the battle royal.

At Fastlane, Samoa Simpson retained the [[IWE United States Championship|United States Championship]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Basic non-elimination matches|fatal four-way match]] by making [[Scott Wright, Jr.|Rey Mysterio]] pass out to the Coquina Clutch. On the following episode of ''SmackDown'', Mysterio pinned Simpson in a tag team match. The following week, Simpson was scheduled to defend the championship against Mysterio at WrestleMania 35.

At Fastlane, [[Diana Nettleton|Sonya Deville]] accidentally caused [[Jessica Burwell|Mandy Rose]] to lose her SmackDown Women's Championship match against Asuka. On the following episode of ''SmackDown'', a similar incident happened, but this time with Rose accidentally causing Deville to lose her match against Asuka. The following week, a fatal four-way match between Rose, Deville, [[Shanelle Van Dyke (wrestler)|Carmella]], and [[Faith Grover (wrestler)|Naomi]] was scheduled for the March 26 episode, with the winner facing Asuka for the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 35.

After becoming the inaugural holders of the [[IWE Women's Tag Team Championship]] at Elimination Chamber, The Boss 'n' Hug Connection ([[Heather Hultin (wrestler)|Bayley]] and [[Tascha Anderson|Sasha Banks]]) stated that they would defend the titles across Raw, SmackDown, and [[NXT (IWE brand)|NXT]]. After retaining the championship against [[Hauna Knudson|Nia Jax]] and [[Ana Salazar|Tamina]] at Fastlane, for which they received a post-match beat down from Jax and Tamina, [[The IIconics]] ([[Jessie Stacey|Billie Kay]] and [[Lindsey Trenary|Peyton Royce]]) called out the champions on the March 12 episode of ''SmackDown''. The following week on ''Raw'', IWE Hall of Famer [[Cass Broadwater|Beth Phoenix]] came out of retirement to team with [[Cass Broadwater|Beth Phoenix]] to challenge for the championship at WrestleMania 35. On ''SmackDown'' the next night, The IIconics defeated The Boss 'n' Hug Connection in a non-title match. The following week, after asserting that they would defend the titles against anyone, The Boss 'n' Hug Connection were scheduled to defend the titles against Jax and Tamina, Natalya and Phoenix, and The IIconics in a fatal four-way tag team match at WrestleMania.

At Elimination Chamber, [[Kevin Devitt|Finn Bálor]] defeated Bobby Lashley and [[Donald Young|Lio Rush]] in a 2-on-1 [[Handicap Match|handicap match]] to win Lashley's [[IWE Intercontinental Championship|Intercontinental Championship]]. Lashley won the title back on the March 11 episode of ''Raw'' thanks to assistance from Rush. On the March 25 episode, Bálor was originally scheduled to face Lashley and Rush in a handicap match where if he won, he would receive a title match at WrestleMania 35, but as Rush was not medically cleared, [[Jacob Miller|Jinder Mahal]] instead teamed with Lashley. Despite the odds, Bálor defeated Lashley and Mahal to earn a championship match against Lashley at WrestleMania. The following week, Bálor warned Lashley that he would be facing "The Demon" at WrestleMania.

On the April 2 episode of SmackDown, WrestleMania 35 host Alexa Bliss informed [[The Usos]] (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) that while it was honorable, there would be repercussions for forfeiting their gauntlet match against The New Day (Big E and Xavier Woods) the previous week. She then scheduled The Usos to defend the SmackDown Tag Team Championship in a fatal four-way tag team match against The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus), [[Ricochet<!--Stewart Osorio-Jaschke--> (wrestler)|Ricochet]] and [[Cody Hafer|Aleister Black]], and [[Shinsuke McKinnon|Shinsuke Nakamura]] and [[Marcus Barnyashev (wrestler)|Rusev]]

The following week, while as guests on "A Moment of Bliss", Strowman challenged Jost to enter the battle royal. Che agreed on his behalf, and Jost in turn also agreed that Che would enter. As the host of WrestleMania 35, Alexa Bliss then made it official that both Jost and Che would be participants in the battle royal.
