WrestleMania 35 was LIVE from the Met
Life Stadium, There's so much to talk about so let's get started. The Kick-off
Show had four matches and here are the results..
Cruiserweight Championship: Buddy Murphy (c)
vs. Tony Nese
Winner: AND NEW Cruiserweight Champion.
Tony Nese.
Women's Battle Royal
Winner: Carmella - Eliminating Sarah
Logan last for the win.
Raw Tag Team Championship -- The Revival (c) vs.
Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins
Winners: AND NEW Raw Tag Team Champions. Zack
Ryder & Curt Hawkins.
Andre the Giant Memorial Battle
Royal
Winner of the match: Braun Strowman.
Main
Card
Alexa Bliss kicked off the show as
WrestleMania host, she promised a WrestleMania moment which resulted in Hulk
Hogan walking out to the stadium to a decent crowd reaction. He made the tired
old Silverdome joke, I'll be honest with you, I'm not a fan of Hogan and think
he is overrated with the work he's done in the past. I'm happy this segment
didn't last long. All of a sudden. Paul Heyman walked out in the middle of all
this and said he wants Brock last on the card, what was surprising was that it
went on first.
Universal Championship Match: Brock Lesnar (c)
vs. Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins won the Universal Championship
after being dominated by the Beast early on. I picked Lesnar to win, but, I'm
happy to be wrong. WrestleMania was off to a great and unpredictable start.
Brock was the "Architect" of his own downfall for taking Rollins
lightly, thinking it was going to be an easy win. Nope! Winner: AND NEW
Universal Champion: Seth Rollins.
AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton
This was a fun back and forth match between
these guys, slow at times, that's a typical Orton match for you. AJ picked up
the win with the Phenomenal forearm after countering the RKO. Winner: AJ
Styles.
SmackDown Tag Team Championship -- The Usos (c) vs.
Ricochet & Aleister Black vs. The Bar vs. Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura:
A really entertaining match, every team played
a nice part in the match. The right team prevailed in the end. The tag team
titles remain in the Uso penitentiary. Winners: AND STILL SmackDown Tag Team
Champions. The Usos.
The Hall of Fame class of 2019 was introduced
next, with DX out last.
The Miz vs. Shane McMahon (Falls Count
Anywhere)
This was your usual run of the mill falls
court anywhere match, ending with Miz superplexing Shane off the scaffolding,
that was a good spot to be honest. Shane landed on top of Miz and won via the
three count. Winner: Shane McMahon.
Women's Tag Team Championship -- Sasha Banks &
Bayley (c) vs. Beth Phoenix & Natalya vs. Nia Jax & Tamina Snuka vs.
The IIconics
Billie Kay capitalised on Phoenix
WWE Championship -- Daniel Bryan (c) vs.
Kofi Kingston
This was the match of the night, Daniel Bryan
as a heel was fantastic, Kofi hit the Trouble in Paradise
for the win. He deserved it. It's been eleven years and he's finally made it to
the top of the mountain. KofiMania is here ladies and gentlemen. Winner: AND
NEW WWE CHAMPION. Kofi Kingston.
Joe made easy work of Rey, winning via the
clutch in his first match at WrestleMania.
Winner: AND STILL US Champion. Samoa Joe.
Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre
The Big Dog picked up the win over McIntyre in
a physical match via the SuperMan punch and Spear. Winner: Roman Reigns.
Elias was next, playing various musical
instruments. Would he get interrupted? The answer was yes. John Cena went back
to the Dr of Thuganomics days. Word Life! This was a great throwback to the
Ruthless Aggression Era. This was their big plan for John Cena instead of putting him in a match vs. Kurt Angle? they've missed out on telling an easy story there. Creative booking isn't very creative is it?
Triple H vs. Batista (No Holds Barred; Triple
H's career on the line)
Perhaps the best thing about this match was
the entrances. More so Triple H's. Actually, I take that comment back. The
spear from announce table to announce table was class. The Game hit the
Pedigree after an assist from Ric Flair for the win. Winner: Triple H.
Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin (Farewell Match)
Corbin won via the End of Days. After the
match. Kurt thanked the crowd and walked away in a feel good moment. Another
legend retires. It was about time to be honest. Winner: Baron Corbin.
Intercontinental Championship -- Bobby Lashley (c) vs.
Finn Balor
Predictably, Balor won the match. I would've gone into more detail about it but I was getting tired at this stage of the show. Winner: AND NEW Intercontinental Champion. Finn Balor.
Winner Take All -- Ronda Rousey (c) vs.
Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Becky Lynch
This was a history making match, the crowd was
fading at this point of the event, trying their best to support "The
Man" and they gradually woke up. This was a fast paced main event which
featured near falls to keep us guessing who was going to win it all. That was
"The Man" Becky Lynch, defeating Rousey with the reverse pin. Winner:
AND NEW Raw and SmackDown women's champion. Becky Lynch.
Overall, this was a good WrestleMania, but too long. 7 and a half hours. I don't know how I got through the show
still awake as it finished at around 5:30am UK
Thanks for reading.
