Nothing will change my mind about WrestleMania these days being way too long. No matter what, events this long result in a burnout. Having said that, the good in this outweighed the bad.
First of four reshow matches was Tony Nese becoming the new cruiserweight champion against Buddy Murphy. Considering how low the cruiserweight are these days, this was a pleasant surprise. 7/10
Carmella wins the women's battle royal in nice fashion. 7/10
Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder finally get pushes again after winning the Raw tag team titles from the Revival. Good match too. 7.5/10
Braun Strowman wins the Andre the Giant battle royal. Could have been better without the SNL guys making it silly. I just love battle royals. 7/10
Now to the main part of the show. The first match was for the Universal championship. Brock had a flight to catch for Vegas which was why it was on first, but Brock has devalued the title, so this going on first made sense. The lazy guy mostly pummelled Seth Rollins outside the ring before the match started. Luckily Seth won. I don't care about the consistency of Brock's wins or that the match wasn't good, I'm just glad we have a new champion. 5.5/10
AJ Styles defeats Randy Orton in a bit of a snoozer. Mostly just a forgettable filler. 5.5/10
Shan McMahon defeats The Miz in an okay falls count anywhere bout. 7/10
The IIconics become the new women's tag team champions. Good bout for all four teams involved. 7.5/10
Kofi Kingston's 11 year journey to become champion finally comes true against Daniel Bryan. Certainly the best match of the night for the men. 8.5/10
I forget when, (somewhere around this point), Elias did a mini concert, only to be interrupted by John Cena as the doctor of thugonomics. Cena owned it and the crowd loved it all. 9/10
Samoa Joe defeats Rey Mysterio in a short match for the US title. As long as they make Joe look good I'm not too mad. 4.5/10
Next up are two guys in bad need of wins. Roman Reigns just defeated cancer and Drew McIntyre is red hot in line for a push. Although more could have been done, I was satisfied. 7.5/10
Triple H defeats the briefly returning Batista since he has never done so. Obviously Hunter was going over. This no holds barred bout was good, but didn't tell a good story until half way through. After that, it was good. 7.5/10
Baron Corbin retires Kurt Angle. Good thing Kurt is an excellent wrestler! 6/10
The returning demon gimmick for Finn Balor was key in his match against Bobby Lashley for the IC title. Finn won. 7.5/10
The first ever women's main event on the grandest stage of them all saw Becky Lynch beat Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair for both women's championships. Not perfect, but still sweet. 9/10
So there are no perfect matches like there have been in past years. But all in all, this was a night I was satisfied with. Overall: 6.7/10
