Wrestlemania 31 review

I have just got through the biggest wrestling event of the year in wrestlemania 31. I must say heading into this event I was not looking forward to it at all and after seeing it I was well justified as this was a pretty average wrestlemania that probably won't be remembered. Be careful for spoilers if you have not seen the show yet.

The show started off with the intercontinental title ladder match between bad news Barrett, Daniel Bryan, dolph Ziggler, stardust, r-truth, Luke Harper and Dean Ambrose. Now as expected this match had allot of high spots in it with not too much substance and actually will be one of the more forgettable ladder match in recent memory. Though I thought he should have been in a higher spot I think Daniel Bryan is a decent choice to carry the belt even though the wwe probably won't care to much about him.

Probably the best match of the night was Randy Orton vs Seth Rollins, this match had the best story going into the show and delivered with a great match that had the right guy win in Orton because you were going to have Rollins get his moment later in the show possibly setting up a rematch for the title. Also the finish was great for the match.

A match that could have really delivered on the show was triple h vs the debuting sting but this match was probably the worst match of the night. The match was going well until it had all the interference from dx and the nwo which took me completely out of the match. And then don't get me started on the fact that triple h beat sting in what could be possibly his only wwe match, the fact is that triple h went for what was best for triple h and not what was best for the wwe and it really hurt this show.

Then came John Cena against rusev for the US title and yes this match was alright but for God sakes what is up with John cena and burying young talent when they are becoming a big deal. Rusev Has been a refreshing blast from the past with his character and the performer is great which is why cena had to totally kill his momentum at his first wrestlemania. Now yes The reputation of the title will be elevated by cena having it but if rusev had won you could with the character of John Cena.

Then there was a promo with the rock, Ronda rousey, Stephanie McMahon and triple h which probably could have been cut out and had the Andre the giant battle royal on the actual wrestlemania card. All this promo was for to promote ufc and possibly set up a couple of future fans.

Then the return of the undertaker as he beat Bray wyatt. Now I don't think they should have had this match but it was pretty enjoyable with a great story playing out and the right guy winning. Also taker was in great condition and hopefully next year we get sting vs taker at mania.

The main event was Brock Lesnar defending the Wwe world heavyweight title against Roman reigns and this match was boring as hell it was just watching Brock Lesnar beating up reigns for 15 mins so thank god for Seth Rollins. I predicted this would happen and I am so happy that they made this decision because if they hadn't I truly believe this would have gone down as a bad mania even though it is only average.

Final rating - 5/10
