– Peyton Royce was backstage at the show, despite not being booked to compete.
– Miro was in town for WrestleMania.
– The video board went out several times, including as recently as 7:40 PM EST.
– The cardboard cutouts in the crowd are tied down by rubber bands, so they’re not going anywhere.
– About 15 minutes before the event, WWE lowered the cage to dry it off after the rain stopped.
– After his match, Lashley went to the end zone area of the field and bowed to the crowd.

– Upon coming back through the curtain tonight at WrestleMania, we’re told that Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair were met with applause and congratulations from their colleagues.

Fightful was told Sasha Banks was very “happy emotional” upon arriving backstage after WrestleMania.
