10 Unthinkable WrestleMania Records WWE Will Break Soon

Does anybody actually want this?

WrestleMania gets longer every year. What used to be a short and sweet show slowly became a monster. It was always longer than other pay-per-views, but when the WWE Network arrived, everything got bigger. The peak was WrestleMania 35, where if you watched in the United Kingdom, it was sunrise before Becky Lynch became "Becky 2 Belts" in the main event.

That event was a whopping five hours and 24 minutes long. Add in the preshow, and you've got a fate worse than death. For context, the first Grandaddy was only two hours and 16 minutes.

We get even more 'Mania than ever before now too, although it's split into two nights. The first time this was done it was needed to keep wrestlers separate during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic; now it's done to get twice as many butts in seats.

With the Showcase of the Immortals now taking up Saturday and Sunday, the event can feel never-ending. 37 took 'Mania over the seven-hour mark for the first time, which included a delay of almost 30 minutes when rain stopped play.

This one comes down to a stacked roster again. With no restrictions in event length on the WWE Network, WWE can throw as many wrestlers onto the card as they've got. Everybody knows how much Triple H loves NXT, so with him in charge, we might even see more black and gold bouts at future WrestleManias.
