** Speaking of Roman, Roman's obsession with trying to move past the "There's always a Plan B" scene 10 years prior ended up being his downfall. When Rollins, dressed in his Shield attire, arrives to save Cody, Reigns has two choices: he either pins Cody, or gets one last chance of vengeance against Reigns. He chooses the latter, and this ends with his undoing. His obsession with being acknowledged also has numerous wrestlers from his past charging in and dismantling the Bloodline.

* CentralTheme: ''XL'' has a theme about "obsession" and how they can lead to one's personal downfall or can be used to elevate others.
** Drew [=McIntyre=] and Seth Rollins call each other out for their obsessions -- Drew with CM Punk and Seth with dismantling the Bloodline -- that led to them both losing the championships. Drew would've been more alert to Damian Priest cashing in if he didn't waste precious minutes mocking CM Punk. Meanwhile, Rollins' obsession with stopping the Bloodline ended with him being a key factor in Cody Rhodes pinning Roman Reigns.

** Jimmy Uso is still obsessed with being better than Jey. Even after Jey wins their bout and wishes to bury the hatchet, Jimmy refuses. This culminates in Jey returning the favor during Cody vs Reigns at Night 2.

* SerialEscalation: At ''[=WrestleMania XL=]'', the interfering parties in the main event got progressively more imposing. First, a surprise return from Wrestling/JohnCena evened the odds for Wrestling/CodyRhodes when Cena took out Solo Sikoa. Then, in a flashback to just over a decade prior, [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]] marched to the ring and neutralized Cena with a single Rock Bottom. At that point, all the lights in the arena died and [[ForDoomTheBellTolls a familiar gong]] echoed across the stadium. [[OffscreenTeleportation When the lights returned]], the specter of ''[=WrestleMania=]'' itself, perhaps the only entity capable of [[OhCrap striking fear]] in the heart of The Final Boss, loomed over The Rock, and he was felled almost instantly by an [[Wrestling/TheUndertaker Undertaker]] chokeslam.



** Wrestling/TheUndertaker refused to let his PyrrhicVictory over Wrestling/TripleH at ''XXVII'' be his lasting memory, thus demanding a second rematch at XXVIII.

* InvincibleHero: Wrestling/TheUndertaker's track record at ''[=WrestleMania=]'' is likely never to be topped: he was not defeated in his first 21 matches he wrestled at the event. (In an odd reversal, Undertaker and Wrestling/ShawnMichaels' match at ''[=WrestleMania=] XXV'', which was perhaps 2009's Match of the Year, was 'Taker's first one-on-one victory over Michaels.) Of course, after ''[=WrestleMania=] XXX'', Undertaker's record read 21–''1'', thanks to one Brock Lesnar. As of ''[=WrestleMania=] 36'', Taker's record stands at 25–2 (thanks to one Roman Reigns).

* JustOneLittleMistake: Wrestling/BrockLesnar botching a Shooting Star Press at ''[=WrestleMania=] XIX'' against Wrestling/KurtAngle. The move is a diving backflip splash off the top rope and widely considered one of the hardest top rope moves to perform due to the rotation being the opposite of the momentum of the jump. Lesnar hadn't performed this dangerous manoeuvre since his time in WWE's feeder league OVW and put Angle way out of position, with Angle being closer to the opposite corner than the one Lesnar was jumping from. Lesnar under rotated landing just short of angle ''on his head'', by pure luck not managing to paralyse or even kill himself, suffering only a concussion then Angle managed to get him through to an improvised finish. A common view in the wrestling community is the botch cost the match a position as one of the greatest matches of all time, although the botch has still entered wrestling folklore forever.

** At [=WrestleMania=] XXX, right before the match with Wrestling/TheUndertaker and Wrestling/BrockLesnar, there were fewer fans holding up signs that said "21-1". In the first few minutes of the match, the announcers said it would be a sad day if Taker lost to Lesnar.
