WrestleMania 35 took place on Sunday, April 7, 2019 at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. A total 82,265 people representing all 50 states and 68 countries attended — the third highest turnout in the history of this event. Every year the spectacle is a visual splendor. We were fortunate enough to come across some images friends of ours took and they were just too good not to share with our readers. Designer Jason Robinson has once again set the bar high with another masterpiece. He’d like to say thank you to all the vendors and crew members listed below for once again going that extra mile.
