Some of the WrestleMania 35 match times were reportedly cut down as WWE officials tried to keep down the length of the pay-per-view.
The biggest show of the year, Kickoff pre-show included, featured 16 matches and ran around 7.5 hours.
The match between Rey Mysterio and WWE United States Champion Samoa Joe surprised a lot of people as it went for just around 1 minute. While there was speculation that the match was short due to Mysterio’s ankle injury, Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that it was simply the victim of a time cut.
On a related note, WWE announced in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania 35 that Rey’s young son Dominik, who is training for a career in pro wrestling, would be at ringside for the match with Joe. Dominik was not there at ringside and was never mentioned.
