WrestleMania 40 set the record for title changes at one WrestleMania with seven, but while this year’s six title swaps didn’t best that total, WrestleMania 42 did manage to set a different record.

A record four women’s titles changed hands during WrestleMania 42, the most in history. Both women’s world titles, the women’s tag titles, and the Women’s Intercontinental Championship all have different champions post-'Mania.

Previously, only three women's titles had changed hands at a single WrestleMania, when challengers won the Women’s Tag Team Championship and the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championships at WrestleMania 35. Notably, this happened in just two matches, because Becky Lynch won a winner-takes-all main event against Raw champ Ronda Rousey and SmackDown champ Charlotte Flair.
