WrestleMania 35: Ranking every match on the WWE pay-per-view from worst to best

WrestleMania 35 was one of the best WrestleManias of all time. There were some moments which stuck out as being not so good, but with 16 WWE matches on the card, almost every moment delivered.

There were some WrestleMania 35 matches which were far better than others, as they outclassed what could be expected from a pay-per-view, and WWE Superstars put on a better show than they have in years.

This year's Showcase of the Immortals was all that one could expect and more.

In this article, we are going to rank all 16 matches from worst to best. Please note that this means John Cena's appearance with Elias will not be counted as it was not a match. However, it was a memorable moment.

Without any further ado, let's get into it.

#16 Andre 'The Giant' Memorial Battle Royal

Braun is the new winner of the Battle Royal

While the Battle Royal had quite a few funny moments with Colin Jost and Michael Che being eliminated by Braun Strowman, the match was not the best.

It had a number of botches, with Andrade eliminating himself accidentally when he was not supposed to, and Mustafa Ali falling badly after his elimination and hitting his head.

Thankfully, Ali has provided an update and he is fine.

#15 WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal

While Royal Rumbles might be some of the best matches in WWE, Battle Royals don't always live up to the same hype.

There are too many people in the match, and far too often, the wrong person wins -- with no follow-up or consequences.

For the first time, the WWE Universe was excited as they felt that Sarah Logan was about to come away with the win, which might lead to some sort of future storyline for the Riott Squad member.

However, Carmella was still in the match, and she eliminated Logan, thereby nixing the possibility of such a storyline. The match also felt like it was hurried.

#14 Baron Corbin vs Kurt Angle

Let's be honest, Kurt Angle deserved better.

The match was good towards the beginning, with Angle getting a lot of offense in, but Baron Corbin could not do the Olympic Gold Medal winner justice. They both tried their best, but when it came to Corbin, his best was not good enough.

Hopefully, Corbin will use the heat he has from retiring a legend to do some good in another storyline.

#13 WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Match: The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) vs The Boss 'n' Hug Connection (Bayley and Sasha Banks) (c) vs Nia Jax and Tamina vs Beth Phoenix and Natalya

The match between the four teams of women seemed fast paced, but there was something missing.

At any point, when Nia Jax and Tamina were involved, there were botches. Beth Phoenix did an amazing job, with a Glam Slam from the top rope turning back time and the IIconics were amazing as usual. However, Tamina and Nia Jax's contribution in this match only led to it being worse than it could have been.

With the IIconics as the new Champions, hopefully, the Women's Tag Team Titles are in good hands.

#12 Samoa Joe vs Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio was not able to win his match against Samoa Joe

This match did not deliver as much as it could have, perhaps due to a lack of time.

Samoa Joe was hit by Rey Mysterio's 619, but when it came time to hit the Splash, Mysterio missed the opportunity, and Samoa Joe sank in the Coquina Clutch to win the match. It simply seemed a waste with the two Superstars, but perhaps it was because of Rey's injury.

#11 Finn Balor vs Bobby Lashley

Demon Balor is one of the best forces of nature that WWE has on its roster.

However, if there was one match that would have been better served by being short, it was this one.

At the end of the night, Lashley was too bland, and if it were not for Balor, this match would easily be the worst of the night by far. Balor, thankfully, used his persona to the best effect and delivered in the match.

WWE finally has a Finn Balor back as Intercontinental Champion.

#10 Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre

Roman Reigns is back and his back with a bang

Roman Reigns is finally back with a bang. His match against Drew McIntyre was not bad per-say but was one of the more methodical and normal matches of the night.

His match was simply a Roman Reigns match and could have happened on a RAW instead of WrestleMania. At the end of the night, it was underwhelming.

Hopefully, being back in the ring will help him get back in form.

#9 Triple H vs Batista (No Holds Barred)

Triple H's career might have been on the line, but he may be better served by ending his career at this point.

Triple H and Batista made their match interesting only due to the use of weapons, and the involvement of The Nature Boy Ric Flair.

If it were not for these two elements, their match simply seemed too slow, and both men looked like they were lumbering around. Both men would be better served not entering a WWE ring for a match again.

#8 Tony Nese vs Buddy Murphy

Another match which delivered... but not quite, was the Cruiserweight Championship match.

Tony Nese might be a good wrestler, but frankly, he is not at the level of Buddy Murphy. Murphy has been an excellent title holder, and hopefully, Nese will be too.

The match had a little of everything, but at the end of the day, it appeared to be missing something. That could also be due to the crowd still entering, and them wrestling in a more empty stadium.

#7 The Revival vs Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder

The losing streak is finally over!

When Curt Hawkins was able to pin the Revival and break his losing streak so that Zack Ryder and he are the two new RAW Tag Team Champion, the entire crowd cheered for them.

It was one of the more feel-good moments of this WrestleMania and lived up to the hype.

Hawkins and Ryder are back and have put the Tag Team Division on notice.

#6 AJ Styles vs Randy Orton

This was one of the matches that people did not expect too much from, with Randy Orton involved.

However, the match surprised everyone in a good way. Orton's slow and methodical style worked well against AJ Styles' high flying abilities. For that very reason, the match was everything it could be and more.

The two veterans of wrestling delivered, and it was the perfect match for the spot it occupied after the Universal Championship match.

#5 SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match: The Usos vs The Bar vs Nakamura and Rusev vs Aleister Black and Ricochet

The Bar shone more than anyone could expect

When a match has so many top stars, it is difficult for it to do badly.

The Usos were their amazing selves, while it was the Bar who shone the most.

Cesaro swung Ricochet for a full minute. The spot was insane and was possibly one of the most memorable of the entire pay-per-view.

At the end of the day, The Usos won, which seems like the best choice at the moment.

#4 WWE Women's Winner Takes All RAW and SmackDown Championship Match: Becky Lynch vs Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair

The match which main-evented the night suffered from some huge disadvantages. It was going up last after a huge pay-per-view and the crowd was almost dead.

However, Becky Lynch, Charlotte, and Ronda Rousey did the WrestleMania main event justice, by giving it their all. This match might be one of the best of the night, if it were not for the botch ending, with Rousey getting pinned despite seemingly having her shoulder up for a second.

#3 Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar

The match opened WrestleMania and the Architect and Brock Lesnar put on a show for the fans.

Rollins was beaten up badly by Lesnar, but each time he kept on coming back. He was impossible to stop after the low blow, and hit THREE CURB STOMPS on the Beast, to put his lights out, despite being assaulted before the match started.

The match was crazy, fast, and did not give any breathing room.

In short, it was the perfect opener.

#2 Shane McMahon vs The Miz - Falls Count Anywhere

Shane and the Miz left a hole in WrestleMania

Shane McMahon might not be an actual regular wrestler, but it did not matter in this match.

This match was not about Shane, although he did win, it was about The Miz taking out his rage on McMahon.

The Miz showed a brutal side to him, that he had not ever in his WWE career before. The continuous assault was exactly what was needed. Shane McMahon had touched his father -- how dare he?

The ending was perfect too, as both men sacrificed their bodies, with Miz even suffering a legitimate injury and bleeding all over the place. The Miz might have lost... but this is the perfect way to continue this feud.

#1 WWE Championship Match: Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan

Finally, we are here.

There was not a single match which lived up to the hype as much as Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan.

Bryan lived up to his role perfectly. He was the heel. He wanted to keep Kofi Kingston down. He wanted to stop him. And he did EVERYTHING in his power to try.

Kofi Kingston was the ultimate Babyface. There was nothing he could not do, and his desperation after 10 years on the sideline to prove that he was no longer and would never ever be a B+ player shone through.

Byron Saxton's commentary and Xavier Woods bawling like a child at the end only served to prove how much this match meant.

It was everything and it was nothing. This might be the best WrestleMania moment of all time.
