#5. Vince McMahon reveals his unexpectedly favourite WrestleMania 35 moment
WrestleMania 35 was centered around three major moments - Seth Rollins' Universal Championship win, Kofi Kingston's WWE Championship win and Becky Lynch's historic main event win.
However, Vince McMahon's favourite part was none of those historic moments, but rather, the most comical moment on the show - when The Miz's dad squared up with Shane McMahon.
In an interview with the Jobbing out podcast, George Mizanin revealed his backstage interaction with Vince McMahon afterwards:
Vince McMahon came up to me and said it was his favourite part of the whole of WrestleMania, which is one of the greatest compliments I have ever gotten.
It was undoubtedly a classic moment and it must have been a huge moment for Mizanin to be told by Vince McMahon himself how great a moment it was.
