7) Plenty Of NXT Stars In The Women’s Battle Royal
The Wrestlemania 34 kickoff show featured a Women’s Battle Royal. This was a way for WWE to get all of their Women’s roster on the Wrestlemania card.
There was plenty of NXT talent involved in the match. This included Peyton Royce, Kairi Sane, Bianca Belair and more. Great to see NXT get solid representation.

8) Naomi Won The Women’s Battle Royal
The Wrestlemania Women’s Battle Royal came down to Bayley and Sasha Banks as the final two, or so we thought! It turned out that Naomi wasn’t eliminated from the match and she went on to win.
Congratulations to Naomi.

9) Pyro Made Its Return!
WWE eliminated pyro from weekly episodes of RAW and Smackdown Live several months ago. It also doesn’t happen at PPV events anymore. It appears as if WWE was saving it for Wrestlemania as it returned in all of its glory.
Welcome back pyro!
They brought pyro back for one night only! lol #WrestleMania

11) A Pretty Great Entrance And Message From Finn Balor
Finn Balor came to the ring with members of the LGBT community from New Orleans. Balor was spreading the message that Balor Club is for everyone.
I thought this was a pretty cool moment and great way to spread the message of inclusion.
