Every year, WrestleMania manages to break and set new records, a feat made possible by existing for 41 years, and by being a scripted show. Still, some of the records set this year feel accidental.

Naomi and Jade Cargill became the first women to wrestle a singles match at WrestleMania with no title on the line. Rather than being for a championship, this was just an old-fashioned grudge match.

John Cena tied the record for longest gap between WrestleMania main events, closing out WrestleMania 41, with is last Mania main event occurring at WrestleMania 29, a 12-year gap. He tied Brock Lesnar, who closed WrestleMania 19 and then main-evented Mania 31.

WrestleMania 41 was the first Mania where titles changed hands on the first two matches of the entire show, and three times in the first four matches.

Cena won a world championship at Mania for the fifth time, increasing his record (three wrestlers have captured world titles three times at WrestleMania).

Iyo Sky became the first Japanese female wrestler to win a match at Mania.

And of course, Roman Reigns padded his record, wrestling his 10th WrestleMania main event match. That record will only continue to grow as long as Roman continues to wrestle.
