1. Seth Rollins Is The First WrestleMania Main Event Winner That Is Younger Than WrestleMania Itself
From the "makes you feel old" files. Seth Rollins was born about fourteen months after the very first WrestleMania took place, and memorably captured the WWE Championship on a Money in the Bank cash-in to close out last year's card. Rollins is also the first WWE Champion to be younger than WrestleMania, which is another mind-blower for long-time fans. Rollins became the third 1980s-born wrestler, after Bryan and The Miz, to win a WrestleMania main event. Had WWE gone with their original plans, Roman Reigns would have conquered Brock Lesnar for the belt, and he, not Rollins, would have been depicted here, having been born in May 1985. Alas, you can be certain he'll match Rollins' feat come April 3, whether the fans like it or not.
