List of Production failures so far for Wrestlemania 35:
1. Forgot Aleister Black's fog.
2. Accidentally kept a bright light on from Randy Orton's intro through most of the match, preventing tens of thousands in the crowd from seeing.
3. The music department missed the Dance Break cue from Alexa Bliss.

I am sure there were some more.


Other notes:
* Charlotte broke Rousey's hand very early on in the match. This would have been rough considering her style involves a lot of rolls and fast flips which requires use of hands.
* Brock Lesnar flew out of NYC right after his match.
* The decision to kick the show off with Lesnar vs Seth was made during the kickoff show, the card was re-organized last minute. AJ Styles vs Orton was supposed to be the first match of the night.
* Batista quietly retired after Wrestlemania 35. Good for him, he didn't steal Kurt Angle's thunder in this way.
* Big E and Hogan buried the hatchet.
* 82,265 and 16.9 million US gate, beating the stadium's previous record set at Wrestlemania 29 by 4.6 million. Also, the third highest attendance of any Wrestlemania ever, and the second highest gross (Wrestlemania 32 grossed 17.3M and had an attendance of 101,763).

Considering the fact that Lesnar left not only the arena, but the city, state, and country as soon as his matched ended, it's likely the reorganization of the card was done at his behest. I find this amusing because he did a similar thing at UFC 100, when by request from Lesnar, the UFC bumped the 3rd-to-last fight of the night up to main event, which was just bizarre. Never happened before or since.
