WrestleMania 39 was a massive success, with the event breaking many of WWE’s records. The two-night event saw tremendous performances by WWE superstars, and most of them were highly appreciated by the fans. The main event of the first night was loved by the audience as the fan-favorite duo of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens won at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
This year’s spectacle had it all, comprising shocking moments, surprises, and some note-worthy moments. With this year’s WrestleMania being one of its greatest editions, it also gave way to a fan’s bizarre incident. A video posted recently on TapOutCorner’s YouTube channel stated that a fan sold a bag full of air from WrestleMania 39.
The product was listed on eBay after 10 days of the event and sold for $19.60. The bag of air was listed as brand new even after being placed for sale 10 days after Mania. The strange part of it was that people showed interest in buying it, with 12 bids being placed on the product. It was really one of the most bizarre things that has happened in recent times.
Some comments on this video were hilarious, as the weird product actually got sold and was placed for bid. Fans suggested the namesake owner of the bag of air, who bought it, get the experience of the atmosphere at WrestleMania 39. It was perhaps one of the most peculiar things to happen in the history of WrestleMania.
