Kickoff Show:

2. Carmella won the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal. Carmella, Sonya Deville, Asuka, and Sarah Logan were the final four. Asuka knocked Deville off the apron to eliminate her and was immediately tossed out by Logan. Logan thought she'd won the match, but Carmella was still in. Carmella won after superkicking Logan off the ropes to the floor.

4. Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal: Braun Strowman won. SNL's Michael Che and Colin Jost hid under the ring for the entire match, and only got back in at the very end when it looked like they could eliminate Strowman. They could not, of course, and Strowman eliminated them both to win the battle royal.
WrestleMania 35 Results:
- Alexa Bliss opened the show by introducing Hulk Hogan, who made a joke about how he would call the arena the wrong thing ("The Silverdome") and then actually called it the wrong thing ("MetLife Center").

That led directly into the Universal Championship match.
