Pandemonium!

The unsurpassable event that is WrestleMania 34 took the WWE Universe on a journey of nostalgia and reminiscence. "The Show of Shows" delivered in bits and pieces with some satisfying moments.

There were unpredictable outcomes, excellent performances, and surprising alliances. Tons of moments got the world talking, but a select few stood out.

Here are five shocking moments from WrestleMania 34

#1 Bray Wyatt and Woken Matt Hardy join forces in an Iconic Moment

Bray Wyatt, I knew You'd Come!!

WWE started the proceedings with an incredible Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The WWE Universe might share divided opinions over the bout but the moment that defined this match was Bray Wyatt's epic return.

The Eater of World's returned and assisted Woken Matt Hardy in deleting Baron Corbin and Mojo Rawley; leading the Woken Warrior to a fantastic victory. Both the superstars hugged each other to start the event on a high note with the WWE Universe rejuvenated to see Bray in a different light.

#2 Charlotte breaks Asuka's Undefeated Streak

An unpredictable end

Despite having a classic encounter, Charlotte's victory over Asuka came as a shocker to many. Having built a 523-days streak, it definitely seemed that nobody was ready for "The Empress of Tomorrow."

Props to both the superstars, however, for delivering one hell of a match. Charlotte has proven herself time and time again, and a win over Asuka would catapult her as the top women on the roster. It's a damn shame to see The First-Ever Women's Royal Rumble fall on her WrestleMania debut.

#3 Undertaker returns and defeats John Cena in 165 seconds

A match with divided opinions

What could have been the most iconic match in WrestleMania history, ends up being a squash match. The Phenom's resurrection was incredibly booked and ignited the crowd in attendance.

Despite being one of the most significant performers in WWE, a loss to the Undertaker was inevitable for John Cena. However, the way the whole bout panned out did indeed depreciate Cena's credibility as a performer.

Whether the company is looking to book a rematch at WrestleMania 35 or not, the match did no justice to the anticipation. Expect a dejected John Cena to address this shocking loss.

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura's epic heel turn

A shocking turn

Considering the anticipation that was built around this bout, the match ended up sharing divided opinions among the WWE Universe. Whether it was the time constraint or the positioning of the match on the card, the crowd did not show any empathy towards the feud.

A.J. Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura delivered a decent match with "The Phenomenal One" retaining the belt with a superb Styles Clash. However, the shocking moment came post-match when Nakamura delivered an unexpected low-blow to the WWE Champion.

A heel turn guarantees a solid 2018 for "The King of Strong Style" with possible alignment with someone like Paul Heyman. The match did disappoint, but the ending has made us excited for SmackDown Live.

#5 Brock Lesnar's shocking victory

An unpredictable yet silly end

When almost everybody predicted Roman Reigns to finally claim his moment in the sun, WWE pulled off the biggest swerve possible tonight. Regardless of the contractual situation surrounding Brock Lesnar, everyone around the world was shocked by the outcome of this bout.

A successful defense suggests that "The Beast Incarnate" is still not done yet, and would continue to rule the red brand. WrestleMania 34 produced some shockers with Nakamura's heel turn and Brock Lesnar's unpredictable victory topping the lists.
