WrestleMania 39 Pre-Show Stats And Facts

– Of the six women’s Royal Rumbles, the Smackdown Title ended up being challenged for at four WrestleManias. 

– Cody Rhodes’ WrestleMania opponents now include main eventers Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, Big Show, Seth Rollins. He also was in matches with Rey Mysterio, as well as Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Jon Moxley, Brodie Lee in ladder matches, and former or eventual Mania main eventers The Miz, Drew McIntyre.

– Roman Reigns will headline his seventh WrestleMania. This puts him one behind Hulk Hogan for the most of all-time. He’ll be tied with Triple H.

– Roman Reigns has won his last three WrestleMania matches. He’s 7-2 at WrestleMania in total. 

– Rey Mysterio’s win over JBL at WrestleMania 25 was on Dominik’s birthday. Rey Mysterio also had matches on Dominik’s birthday in 1999, 2004, 2005, 2011 and 2017, so Dominik was probably right. 

– This will be the third straight year Bianca Belair has been in a women’s title match at WrestleMania. 

– Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn last teamed in June 2019. They also teamed together at WrestleMania 34. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have been involved together at four WrestleManias

– Every WrestleMania since 2012 has had at least one show closing match with a person who is a part-time talent, or was an outgoing talent. This year could change that, depending on how you view Roman Reigns’ status.

– At least one wrestler from Main Events of the last three WrestleManias isn’t on this year’s card. Steve Austin (2023), Sasha Banks and Daniel Bryan (2021), The Undertaker and AJ Styles (2020). 

– Since 2004, this is only the second WrestleMania that Randy Orton has missed. He missed 2016 with a shoulder injury. 

– Three of the last four years has seen an Elimination Chamber match winner determine who challenges the WWE Raw women’s Champion at WrestleMania.

– This year will be the fourth WrestleMania in the Los Angeles area, and the first in a stadium. It will likely triple the previous LA WrestleMania attendance record. 

– Outside of 2020, WrestleMania has been in a stadium every year since 2007. 

– This year is the first WrestleMania main event since 2011 to not feature a part-time wrestler, or someone set to imminently leave the company. 

– Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns have worked against each other 30+ times, including 15 times on TV. They’ve never had a televised one-on-one match.

– There are ten first-time televised matches set for WrestleMania, as of Wednesday.

– Bianca Belair and Asuka actually faced each other twice in televised matches last May on Raw. They’ve also wrestled on three WWE main roster live events, a Smackdown dark match, and an NXT live event. Asuka only won the NXT live event back in 2017. It will be the 8th state they’ve had a singles match against each other in. 

– Braun Strowman is 3-0 at WrestleMania.

– Sable holds the most wins without a loss for a woman at WrestleMania, at 3-0. She defeated Luna, Goldust, Tori and Miss Jackie & Stacy Kiebler.  Bianca Belair has the opportunity to match that this year.
