WrestleMania 33 results and review

(c) WWE

Kickoff Match for the Cruiserweight Championship: Neville (c) defeated Austin Aries. Neville retained the championship after hitting a Red Arrow.

-> good opener and not the last match between these 2. 8 of 10 points.

– Mojo Rawley won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Big Show was eliminated early by Braun Strowman. Strowman was eliminated after everyone in the match teamed up to toss him out. Rob Gronkowski got involved, helping Mojo fight off Jinder Mahal to win the match.

-> never got these Battle Royals. Suprise winner with Mojo Rawley for 5 of 10 points.

– Kickoff Match for the Intercontinental Championship: Dean Ambrose (c) defeated Baron Corbin. Ambrose hit Dirty Deeds on Corbin to retain.

-> big disappointment here. Lame match, not the best in ring chemistry for 5 of 10 points too.

1. AJ Styles defeated Shane McMahon. Shane McMahon survived a Styles Clash, but fell to Styles’ Phenomenal Forearm after missing a shooting star press.

-> one of the best matches this evening. Both men showed their best. 8,5 points and the 1st WM victory for AJ Styles.

2. United States Championship Match: Kevin Owens defeated Chris Jericho (c) to become the new United States Champion. Jericho’s entrance included a giant List of Jericho and a light-up scarf. Owens pinned Jericho after powerbombing him into the ring apron.

-> Good match too but the finish was a little hasty. Right winner as anticipated for 7,5 of 10 points. 

3. Fatal Four-way Elimination Match for the Raw Women’s Championship: Bayley (c) defeated Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Nia Jax. Jax was eliminated first via a triple powerbomb from her opponents. Charlotte then eliminated Sasha after sending her face-first into an exposed turnbuckle. Charlotte missed a charge into the corner and hit the turnbuckle herself, allowing Bayley to hit a Macho Man elbow drop to retain the Raw Women’s Championship.

-> Not really the best womans match these ladies can do. Charlotte vs Sasha were much better all the time. No heelturn of Sasha yet. Bayley keept the title for 7 of 10 points.

4. Ladder Match for the Raw Tag Team Championship: The Hardy Boyz defeated The Club (c), Enzo Amore and Big Cass, and Sheamus and Cesaro. Before the match began, New Day announced it would now be a fatal four-way and introduced the returning Matt and Jeff Hardy. Jeff hit a Swanton onto Sheamus and Cesaro from the top of a giant ladder while they were lying on ladders, and Matt was able to pull down the belts to become the new Raw Tag Team Champions.

-> That was the BIGGEST WM moment of this year. The HARDYS are back in the TOP LEAGUE and won the Tag Titles right away. 8,5 of 10 points.

5. John Cena and Nikki Bella defeated The Miz and Maryse. Cena and Bella won after pinning Miz and Maryse with an Attitude Adjustment and a Rack Attack 2.0 respectively. After the match, Cena proposed to Bella.

-> Lame match, worst booking and the proposal doesn´t maked it any better. Miz carried the match on his back for 3 of 10 points.

6. Non-Sanctioned Match: Seth Rollins defeated Triple H. Triple H accidentally knocked Stephanie McMahon off the ring apron and through a table. He was upset, and turned into a Pedigree from Rollins for the loss.

-> good brawl, better booking and the right winner with Seth for 8 of 10 points.

7. WWE Championship Match: Randy Orton defeated Bray Wyatt (c). Bray Wyatt debuted spooky photo projection powers that turned the ring into images of roaches and maggots. Orton won with an RKO.

-> oh dear - really liked the psycho tricks of Bray but its to unbelievable that he can´t kick out of even one RKO. Thats really LAME. Wrong winner, bad booking... 7 of 10 points.

8. Universal Championship Match: Brock Lensar defeated Goldberg (c). Lesnar withstood several spears, including one through the security railing, and kicked out of a Jackhammer. He was able to hit 10 German suplexes and an F-5 to defeat Goldberg and become the new Universal Champion.

-> better an ecpected, longer too. Beast Brock is back. 7 of 10 points.

9. Smackdown Women’s Championship Match: Naomi defeated Alexa Bliss (c), Carmella, Natalya and Becky Lynch. Naomi tapped out Bliss to the Slay-o-mission headscissors crucifix choke to become a two-time Smackdown Women’s Champion in front of her hometown Orlando crowd.

-> thank god NAOMI won the match and her title back. The match was too short for my taste. 5 of 10 points.

10. No Holds Barred Match: Roman Reigns defeated The Undertaker. Jim Ross was on commentary. Undertaker made his entrance by rising up from the middle of the ramp. The two traded finishers until Undertaker couldn’t defend himself, but refused to give up. Reigns got extra momentum and hit a huge spear to put the Undertaker down and win the biggest match of his career.
After the match, the Undertaker stuck around for a curtain call, removing his gloves, hat and jacket and leaving them in the ring.

-> Good mainevent even with Roman won the match. The Farewell of the Undertaker brought tears in my eyes too. #THANKYOUTAKER... 8 of 10 points.
