Wrestlemania 35 is in the history books, and like all of the events that proceeded it there has been fallout.

New champions were crowned, the women main evented for the first time in history, and fans can't stop talking about major developments from the event.

Wrestlemania, however, is not just about a single night of wrestling matches, but rather a culmination of existing storylines and the beginning of some new ones. It's also a way that WWE sets the stage for what is to come for the rest of the year, leading up to Wrestlemania 36.

Given this fallout, some wrestlers walked out of WrestleMania 35 with a ton of momentum. They're being talked about by the Internet wrestling community, and the company clearly holds them in high regard.

Meanwhile, some stars had an underwhelming night at Wrestlemania--or didn't appear on the event at all.

These superstars could find themselves struggling or floundering in the coming months as they are blotted out by the brightly shining stars of those who walked out of Wrestlemania with momentum.

Here are five wrestlers who have great momentum post Wrestlemania 35, and five that might flounder or struggle in the coming months.


Has momentum #1: Tony Nese

As was to be expected, the cruiserweight championship bout between Tony Nese and Buddy Murphy was a five star affair. The two men took each other to the limit, with Nese just barely scraping by and capturing the Cruiserweight championship.

Nese has seen his star slowly rise on 205 Live, competing in a tournament to earn the right to face former ally Murphy for the title. Now Nese is the top dog on 205 Live, and could be in for a lengthy title reign if the rumors of Murphy moving to the main roster are true.

Why he has momentum: Nese's first Wrestlemania moment was a sweet one, and now fans know his name. His expansion into a more complete character is all that's holding him back from the main roster at this point.
