It Looks Like WrestleMania 35 Could Be WWE’s Longest PPV Ever

WWE

The length of WWE PPVs, especially WrestleMania shows, has been a topic of contention among wrestling fans. While everyone wants to see their favorite wrestlers get the high-profile matches they feel they deserve, fewer people are vocal about wanting to watch a WWE Network program that could be six or seven hours long.

WrestleMania 34 was a little over five hours long in addition to a two-hour kickoff show (in contrast to WrestleMania 1’s 2:16 and WrestleMania X-Seven’s 3:45 total runtimes), and shortly afterward, rumors emerged that the following year’s event would be even longer. A recent compilation of the confirmed or likely WrestleMania 35 card by Forbes indicates that could still easily be the case, with seventeen matches either announced on WWE programming so far or likely to be announced due to WrestleMania convention or current storylines.

The matches currently announced for WM35 are:

The matches that are yet to be announced, but very likely, are:

Also likely are a Roman Reigns singles match (given current Raw storylines, probably against Drew McIntyre), the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal. Each of these matches going ten minutes including entrances, plus ten minutes allotted for Alexa Bliss to host the show and Braun Strowman to murder Colin Jost with his bare hands as Michael Che looks on helplessly puts the show at three hours long, and that’s obviously not a realistic prediction at all.

So does WWE cut the battle royals for length Do several of these matches go five minutes Or is WrestleMania 35 another seven-hour show… and will that be an issue for the live audience and/or people watching on the WWE Network Let us know your theories and opinions in the comments.
