#5 It was the first WrestleMania in 16 years with no women’s match

The Bella Twins were originally supposed to be on the card

It’s unthinkable nowadays that WWE would have a whole WrestleMania card with no women’s matches, but that’s exactly what happened just five years ago at WrestleMania 29.

Four women were originally due to compete, with Nikki & Brie Bella teaming with Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow to face Brodus Clay, Tensai, Naomi & Cameron, but the match was cancelled at the last minute because of time constraints.

That means WM29 was the first WrestleMania since WrestleMania 13, 16 years earlier, to feature no women’s matches anywhere on the show.
