Bengaluru, March 25: As reported earlier, WWE could set a new record at this year’s Wrestlemania. With 17 matches on the match card, this could be the longest run show in the history of all WWE pay-per-view events. The event on the whole including the kick-off show could last upto eight long hours.

And this long duration event could cause trouble for the fans in attendance who would have to sit through all those hours. In order to ensure, that the experience doen't turn bitter, WWE officials are now considering making changes to the match card.

Forbes earlier reported that Vince McMahon was in favor of 17 matches at Wrestlemania 35 as this would ensure the maximum number of superstars will get to feature on the show.

In that case, the superstars speculated to feature in these matches will end up competing in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Speaking of this battle royal, only one man from Monday Night Raw, Braun Strowman has volunteered to participate in it. Also, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer has said that the women’s division battle royal will also find a place on the Wrestlemania 35 match card.
