#4 WrestleMania

WrestleMania was not that good
WrestleMania was not that good

WrestleMania is much bigger than its quality. All that magnificent entrances and pyro makes it feel much more important than the others.

But if we dwell on this year's show, it was not a perfect show at all. It has its share of positive and negative aspects alike.

The show saw a dream match between Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles, a Universal Title match between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, the debut of Ronda Rousey, a Streak vs Title match, the return of Daniel Bryan, and much more.

Positives

The show was mainly average with two tag matches standing out against the rest. The debut match of Ronda Rousey and returning match of Daniel Bryan were both highly acclaimed. The Intercontinental Title match and Cruiserweight Championship match were also solid.

Flair versus Asuka was one of the best matches of the night.

Negatives

When one talks about WrestleMania, they talk about dream matches and Undertaker. With complete respect to Undertaker's legacy, he is well past his prime. His match against Cena, even if it was a dream encounter, was a squash. Roman Reigns being demolished by Lesnar did not help the matter either.

Styles versus Nakamura was a let down with Nakamura's heel turn being the only saving grace. The two Battle Royals and Tag Team Championship matches were largely forgettable.

Grade: 6/10
