10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About WrestleMania 35

8. Batista's Trip

This is one we noted in our epic 44 Things You Probably Missed From WrestleMania 35 article, but it's worth mentioning again. Anyway, admit it, you're having too much fun watching big Batista stumble through the ropes like he's a reincarnated Hollywood version of The Shockmaster to mind a little repetition.

Watch your step, Dave.

Any older fan could probably feel their heart pang as Batista's left foot caught the middle rope and caused him to tumble like a fool into the ring. To his credit, the retiring muscle man wore a smile on his face and owned the moment. It would've been incredibly easy for him to get red-faced and let the botch rattle him for the rest of the night.

He didn't, and he moved on quickly from the slip. Even so, don't be surprised if WWE eventually decide to delete a few seconds from his entrance on the Network version of the pay-per-view. Seeing Dave fall doesn't exactly get one amped up to watch some 'No Holds Barred' warfare.
