WrestleMania 34 was held on April 8, 2018 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. In the main event, Brock Lesnar retained the Universal Championship against Roman Reigns. In another main event promoted match, AJ Styles retained the WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura. Other marquee matches saw Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey defeat Triple H and Stephanie McMahon in a mixed tag team match, which was Rousey’s WWE debut match, and Daniel Bryan had his in-ring return after three years, teaming with Shane McMahon to defeat Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Also, The Undertaker defeated John Cena in an impromptu match.
In another prominent match, Charlotte Flair retained the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Asuka, ending Asuka’s two-year undefeated streak, and a 10-year old fan became the youngest WWE champion when he teamed with Braun Strowman to defeat Cesaro and Sheamus for the Raw Tag Team Championship. The SmackDown Tag Team Championship was also defended for the first time at WrestleMania, where The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Usos and The New Day to win the titles.
WWE’s flagship event will return to the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday, April 7, 2019. WrestleMania 35 is more than just a one-day show; it is a week-long celebration. In addition to the annual pro wrestling pay-per-view event, other events include WWE’s interactive fan festival WrestleMania Axxess and four spectacular live events taking place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, including the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, NXT TakeOver, “Monday Night Raw,” and “SmackDown Live.”
