All this talk about which faces and heel win at WM35 had me looking back at the ratios of wins for both in the past four WMs (not counting pre-show bouts; main event in bold):
WrestleMania 31: 5 face wins (Bryan, Orton, Paige/AJ Lee, Cena, Undertaker) versus 2 heel wins (Triple H, Seth Rollins)
WrestleMania 32: 3 face wins (Zack Ryder, The Rock, Roman Reigns... technically) versus 6 heel wins (Chris Jericho, League of Nations, Brock Lesnar, Charlotte, Undertaker sort-of, Baron Corbin)
WrestleMania 33: 6 face wins (Bayley, Hardy Boyz, Cena/Nikki, Seth Rollins, Naomi, Randy Orton) versus 2 heel wins (Brock Lesnar, Kevin Owens) versus neutral wins* (AJ Styles, Roman Reigns)
WrestleMania 34: 8 face wins (Seth Rollins, Charlotte, Angle/Ronda, Undertaker, Bryan/Shane, Nia Jax, AJ Styles, Braun/Nicholas) versus 3 heel wins (Jinder Mahal, Bludgeon Brothers, Brock Lesnar)
So, in general, there tends to be more faces winning at WM in the past few editions (WM32 being the exception). What’ll be the ratio on Sunday?
*”neutral wins” as neither guys were overly heel at this point, less so for AJ Styles.

I remember what a shit show Mania 32 was too and that just so happens to be the one with the majority heel victories. Heels win, in theory, to set up a future babyface triumphant. That's what TV and B-shows are for. Major shows were built to pay off babyface wins. Not every good guy has to win but damn it, most of them should. Nobody drops down money to see the people they like f***ing lose and fail at the biggest hurdle.

They'll go 50/50 this year. 18 face wins and 18 heel wins.
