 March 28 2016 Brock Lesnar's music is the first thing fans hear from Raw and he comes out with Paul Heyman. Heyman hypes this Sunday's WrestleMania extravaganza and also dissects what Lesnar's going to do to Jeff Hardy, when Heyman would invite Jeff Hardy out if he had the guts, and Hardy did. The Charismatic Enigma said that he looks forward to not facing Brock Lesnar this Sunday in a match, but with the whole no physical contact rule, he was able to squeeze out a Street Fight against Brock Lesnar. Heyman laughed off the seriousness of this confrontation, calling Hardy a bigger idiot and figures The Undertaker won't be the only one living their last Mania, because just like WrestleMania two years ago, Brock Lesnar will walk in as the victor and he'll leave Hardy in the worst shape of his life. Heyman would pull his beast away, though tempted to fight Hardy then, but waits for Dallas.
Neville and Sami Zayn vs. The Miz and Kevin Owens
Kevin Owens would leave Miz high and dry while Sami Zayn hit a Helluva Kick, tagged Neville in for the Red Arrow, as Neville and Zayn had a moment in the ring together.
Stephanie McMahon was backstage going through her phone when Paige walks up and says it was a brilliant idea to have Becky and Charlotte in singles action with 'Pick your Poison'. Stephanie thanks Paige for the kind words, and Paige asks if she could officiate both matches to get warmed up, like Spring Training, for WrestleMania. Stephanie asked if she brought the proper attire, and Paige confirmed she did, when Stephanie agrees to allow her, as she's got to officiate Charlotte's match in a few moments... Charlotte would come to the ring and then Becky Lynch would head out to announce Charlotte's opponent, where it just happened to be Natalya! Natalya would be making her way to the ring as Paige rushes past her to get in the ring to referee this match.
Charlotte def. Natalya
With Paige as the guest referee like she will be for WrestleMania, Charlotte beat Natalya with a fair Figure 8 in a match called pretty decent.
John Cena would come to the ring to talk about his match with Dolph Ziggler this Sunday at WrestleMania when he's interrupted by Kaval and Emma. Emma said Kaval is going to do something more impressive than beat a glorified jobber, because he's going to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at 5-foot-8. Cena laughed and asked Kaval if he wanted to fight, take the mic from his master and speak up for himself. Angered easily, Kaval yanked the mic away from Emma and accepted a challenge towards Cena now.
John Cena def. Kaval w/Emma via Count Out
After a lengthy match that took a toll out of both men, Kaval would quit as Cena gained momentum and took the count out, but as Cena complained to Kaval's back, he was attacked from behind by Dolph Ziggler who would lay the CeNation Leader out with a Zig-Zag.
In a dark room with minimal light, Erick Rowan was getting encouraging words from Bray Wyatt about going out tonight to defeat Daniel Bryan. Rowan would leave, as Wyatt looked at Strowman and Harper, instructing them to watch Ambrose and Reigns, that it's important for a win this Sunday, as Wyatt laughed and sat in his rocking chair to see.
Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns def. The Ascension
Though The Ascension were aggressive with force, Reigns and Ambrose would escape as Dirty Deeds would be hit on Konnor, who would pop right up into a Spear by Reigns.
The Undertaker made his appearance at Raw as he commanded everyone's attention, saying he's about to compete at his 24th WrestleMania and he's been doing this for a long time. Finn Balor, as bright of a future Balor has, is not going to be useful for him in Dallas for WrestleMania. The Undertaker said it was Balor's biggest mistake to step up to the plate, though it took guts, it was a gigantic mistake that he'd never live down. Undertaker said he won his first 21 matches at WrestleMania, and after this Sunday, Finn Balor will be on pace to dubiously lose his first 21. The Undertaker's theme would song as he'd exit the ring.
Erick Rowan def. Daniel Bryan
While Bryan nearly beat Rowan, and in all honesty should have, Bray Wyatt played mind games as you could hear his voice on the mic after the lights went out, and when they came back on, Bryan was too busy looking for Bray as Rowan hit The Way and win.
Paige would step out once again in her referee's shirt, as Becky Lynch headed out for her match of the night. Divas Champion Charlotte would then emerge and says she has found the ideal diva on the roster, and in Charlotte's opinion, it should really be her competing for the title this Sunday... Charlotte, to everyone's dismay picked Paige! Paige was caught off guard by this and Charlotte demanded another referee so Paige could do what she does best, as Charlotte took a seat to watch this unfold.
Becky Lynch def. Paige via Disqualification
Paige would let her competitive spirit get out of control as she was called for the DQ and the ref threw the match out, as Charlotte walked away loving it as Paige calmed down and realized what Charlotte has wisely done.
Rollins, Triple H, and Stephanie were all backstage excited about tonight where they can finally get the last Raw out of the way before Seth successfully defends against Cesaro.
Dudley Boyz and Lucha Dragons def. The Usos and The New Day w/Xavier Woods
The New Day refused to tag in to the match and thus, it was over quickly, as Jimmy got a 3-D and lost the match, while Xavier played his trombone afterwards rubbing it in.
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon would walk out as a couple before they'd hype this Sunday's WrestleMania, and they'd introduce the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins himself! They'd then, with less enthusiasm, introduce Cesaro. Cesaro would try to speak and then Seth would mock Cesaro, saying this whole time since winning the Royal Rumble, he hasn't found himself a mouthpiece, and compares that to a guy leaving college for the NBA and not hiring an agent, that it only results in failure. Cesaro said he had found him a mouthpiece, as Triple H, Seth Rollins, and Stephanie McMahon all wait, until The Rock's music hits and the place explodes. The Rock would make his way down as he'd be handed the mic from Cesaro and hype up Cesaro as one of the best and strongest athletes in this company today and makes a case for Cesaro walking out of Dallas with the world title. The Rock mentions he'll be at WrestleMania and makes sure there's no shenanigans. Triple H said there'd be no shenanigans, but he won't object to an old-timer being at WrestleMania, as it's the one week a year they're allowed out of the rest home. Triple H then commended Cesaro about overcoming all the obstacles he had to leap over since the Royal Rumble, and he's sure that he'll be a good world champion if he's able to beat Seth Rollins. Triple H says he has one more task for him, one more obstacle, and if he can overcome that, he'll definitely support whatever the outcome is this Sunday, because the past couple months have only been to prove to the entire world that Cesaro is world championship material. Triple H said that Cesaro, on his lonesome, will have to compete in a handicap match. Triple H tells Cesaro that everyone he's faced since winning the Royal Rumble, he'll have to meet each one of them again this Thursday. Cesaro shakes his head and grabs the mic from Rock to say he'll be glad once WrestleMania is over, because he'll be world champion and there'll be nothing they can do about it. Triple H shrugged and said we'll wait and see as he and Steph walked out, and as Rollins was leaving, he went up to Cesaro's face and held the title up high in the air. Cesaro would smirk as Rollins would try to leave, but Cesaro grabbed Seth by the hair and yanked him back. The Rock would keep Triple H from re-entering the ring, as Cesaro would take Rollins for a ride with the Cesaro Swing, and after releasing him, Rollins would roll under the bottom rope as Triple H yelled threats towards Cesaro as the go-home episode of Raw ends.WRESTLEMANIA 32WWE World Heavyweight Championship MatchSeth Rollins(c) vs. Cesaro The Undertaker's Retirement MatchThe Undertaker vs. Finn Balor Street FightBrock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman vs. Jeff Hardy Singles MatchBray Wyatt vs. Daniel Bryan Singles MatchDolph Ziggler vs. John Cena Divas Championship MatchCharlotte(c) vs. Becky Lynch (Special Guest Referee: Paige) Intercontinental Championship MatchSami Zayn(c) vs. Kevin Owens Two-on-Three Handicap MatchDean Ambrose & Roman Reigns vs. The Wyatt Family (Braun Strowman, Erick Rowan, and Luke Harper) WWE Tag Team Championships MatchThe New Day(c) vs. The Dudley Boyz vs. Lucha Dragons vs. The Usos United States Championship Tournament FinalsThe Miz vs. Neville Andre the Giant Memorial Battle RoyalConfirmed Participants: Adam Rose, Alberto Del Rio, Big Show, Christian, Curtis Axel, Damien Sandow, Heath Slater, Kaval, King Barrett, Sheamus |

The bell rang and Adam Rose was surfed and tossed out of the ring, the first eliminated.Adam Rose eliminated by the field Heath Slater eliminated by Damien Sandow Fernando eliminated by Aiden R-Truth eliminated by Alberto Del Rio Stardust eliminated by Ryback Ryback was going against Viktor and finally got him eliminated, in which Konnor saw and quickly eliminated Ryback himself. Konnor was gloating at Ryback, which Ryback took his frustrations out with a Meat Hook Clothesline on Viktor. Konnor was distracted, enough to be eliminated from behind by SheamusViktor eliminated by Ryback Ryback eliminated by Konnor Konnor eliminated by Sheamus Diego eliminated by Kaval Titus O'Neil eliminated by Curtis Axel and Sheamus Tye Dillinger eliminated by Zack Ryder Mark Henry eliminated by Curtis Axel and Sheamus Aiden would be fighting the Big Show, last year's winner, and got eliminated.

Sheamus turned on Curtis Axel, Brogue Kicking Axel and picking up the deadweight and eliminating the one person who had his back.Curtis Axel eliminated by Sheamus Kaval eliminated by Sheamus Rusev eliminated by Sheamus Sheamus eliminated by Zack Ryder After eliminating Sheamus, one who was on a roll with three consecutive eliminations, Zack Ryder stood toe-to-toe (and nose-to-chest) with last year's winner Big Show. Ryder would get the fan support and would fight Big Show best he could, and he'd get him down to one knee at the ropes, and Ryder would charge, but Show would just lift Ryder with a back body drop over the top rope and to the floor.Zack Ryder eliminated by Big Show Big Show's music hit as the World's Largest Athlete stood up to an echo of boos, likely filled by people upset of Big Show winning over Zack Ryder. Big Show would raise his hand as he'd go on the outside to the trophy, caught saying "Another one of these? I'll find room!", before posing next to it once again, finishing up the one match on the Kickoff.
THE NEW DAY walk out to the stage, each holding microphones, as well as Xavier Woods carrying his amazing trombone. XAVIER WOODS "Heehaw, heehaw, can the champions have your attention please?" KOFI KINGTON "And for you younger folks, that's when you're the best." XAVIER WOODS "Oh that's right, we're in Dallas, home of the Cowboys. I totally forgot. From this exuberant stadium, I thought we were in Los Angeles. KOFI KINGSTON "Is that why you're wearing that throwback Rams jersey?" BIG E "Now we all know that Jerry Jones is a big supporter of the Rams relocation to Los Angeles. He probably just wants a team in the NFL as crazy as the Cowboys. Jerry probably feels alone in wanting more fame and more failure." XAVIER WOODS "Just know Dallas, if Tony Romo comes back healthy, you guys are still going to choke on the biggest stage." BIG E "But Xavier, that's not us!" UNISON "No no no." BIG E "See, this is WrestleMania, and considering we are your..." Big E cues Xavier as the three jive. XAVIER WOODS "Dubba-yew Dubba-yew Dubba-yew Eeeee Tag Team Champions..." BIG E "We know not how to choke, but we thrive in these high-pressure situations. Why?" XAVIER WOODS "Because New Day rocks, baby!!!" Big E and Kofi look at Xavier who went crazy, before they begin the New Day Rocks chant while Xavier plays the trombone, interrupted by... THE DUDLEY BOYZ interrupt The New Day, as they make their way to their 6th WrestleMania appearance, hoping to win their first Mania match, being 0-4 in their career. THE LUCHA DRAGONS make their way to the ring, the team of Kalisto and Sin Cara. Kalisto hops over the top rope, followed by Sin Cara, as they pose right before the next and final team comes out. THE USOS music hits right after their traditional war cry, ready to regain their tag titles. WWE Tag Team Championships MatchThe New Day(c)vs. The Dudley Boyzvs. Lucha Dragonsvs. The UsosThe New Day have tried to stay out of the ring as much as possible, and instead, have used their natural arrogance to poke the competition. The Lucha Dragons have been more impressive, while The Usos have been the most zoned in, trying to win back the tag titles. As the match came to a close, Kofi had gotten pulled in by Jey Uso, and each team had their shot at Kofi Kingston, but Bubba Ray got tagged in by his partner D-Von and hit the 3-D on Kofi Kingston. The pin was broken up by the Lucha Dragons and The Usos, and this sparked chaos in the ring. The Usos ended up throwing the Lucha Dragons out, hitting suicide dives on both Sin Cara and Kalisto, before Jey would pop in and get a 3-D! Jimmy would trail right behind and try taking on the two, when it was no use and ended up eating a 3-D as well. As the referee tried to tell Bubba Ray that Jimmy Uso was not the legal man, Big E had clotheslined D-Von to the floor. Bubba Ray then went over to Kofi, but it backfired as Kingston pulled Bubba Ray into the exposed turnbuckle. Bubba Ray was knocked out cold as Kalisto came back and took Kingston by the head, hitting a Salida del Sol. Kalisto got the referee's attention, as Kalisto leaped over onto the apron, reaching down tagging an unconscious Bubba Ray. The referee would leave the exposed turnbuckle alone, as Kalisto went up to the top rope on Kingston. Xavier Woods would distract Kalisto long enough for Big E to hop onto the apron and push Kalisto off. Kalisto would get up with adrenaline as soon as he hit the mat, but Kofi rolled Kalisto up from behind, but Jey Uso broke the pinfall up! As Big E got inside the ring to take on Jey Uso, who Jey was putting up a good fight with some rights, Jimmy had turned Xavier around on the outside and landed a Superkick, that got AT&T Stadium going. Jimmy would get on the apron and after disposing Big E, Jey would push Kalisto over in the corner, where Jimmy Uso would tag himself in, and then throw Kalisto through the ropes. Jey would hit a Samoan Drop on Kofi Kingston and Jimmy Uso would go up top and hit the Samoan Splash! Jimmy pinned Kingston to the mat, but D-Von pulled Jimmy Uso out to the outside and hit a vicious clothesline, but turned around to see a suicide dive from Sin Cara! Sin Cara would get up only to get a suicide dive put on him, this one by Jey Uso! With everyone spilled on the outside, Big E would take Jimmy Uso and roll him inside the ring. Big E would lift Jimmy on his shoulder and hit the Big Ending! Big E then had to take a springboard Kalisto, and then try to powerbomb him to the outside, but Kalisto would turn it into a hurricanrana, toppling both men to the floor. However, Kofi was left in the ring as he used his awareness to cover Jimmy Uso, winning The New Day the match as Jey Uso was to late to save! The celebration began for The New Day, as Xavier Woods got Kofi Kingston and Big E all in the ring, still the WWE Tag Team Champions of the world!
THE MIZ heads out to the ring with more swagger to his walk, as he gets inside the ring and take the shades off violently and demands a microphone to be put in his hands. The Miz stands inside ready to speak, but he shakes his head, as he flips the cover to put his usual "M" in before speaking. THE MIZ "I am on the record for being the most outspoken wrestler, willing to say, willing to question, willing to call out, anything and anyone that nobody has the grapefruits to do. But tonight, talk is cheap, why? Because I know exactly what it's going to take to begin my third reign as United States Champion tonight. And hold on, the last time I was United States Champion, I went on to become Mr. Money in the Bank, then WWE Champion, and then I headlined WrestleMania. So next year, at this time, you'll be seeing me in the main event of WrestleMania 33. But until then, I will give everyone an United States Champion they can be proud of. So Neville, get out here so these fans don't have to wait any longer before a real man wins some gold." NEVILLE's music begins, when he emerges from the smoke and takes off his cape. Neville high fives a few fans before sliding feet-first into the ring, staring down The Miz for his match next, hoping to claim his first ever championship in WWE since moving up to the main roster back last year. WWE United States Championship MatchThe Mizvs. NevilleNeville's high octane offense was a lot for The Miz to handle in the opening couple minutes of the match. But when The Miz had escaped to the outside, Neville dove feet-first through the second rope, trying to hit a hurricanrana, but The Miz prevented Neville from doing as such, and slinging him into the steel steps. Since then, the veteran Miz had control of Neville and this match, working on a ground game, in a way we've never seen Neville dominated before. The Miz had targeted the head area for most of the match, and would even hit an Awesome Clothesline, go for the pin, and when Neville resisted to give up, The Miz put him in a grounded headlock once again this match. Jerry Lawler even voiced his disappointment in Neville, saying he expected this high-flying, high octane offense and that a 35-year old Miz couldn't keep up, but Neville's not living up to the hype. The Miz shouted orders for Neville to just give up in the headlock, and it looked like Neville was passing out, so the ref lifted the arm of Neville, and it dropped. The ref checked Neville again when his arm fell for a second time. The Miz could taste the title coming his way, but Neville showed some life, not letting his right limb fall on the mat a third time. Neville used the crowd's cheers to get back to his feet, elbow The Miz in the gut to get out of the hold. Neville would try to run to the ropes, but The Miz would grab a piece of Neville's hair and pull recklessly on it, as Neville got whiplash from hitting the mat. The Miz would go for the cover, but only get two, as this frustrated Miz. The Miz would shout to give up as he'd go over to the corner and wait. As Miz ran at Neville trying to hit Reality Check, Neville avoided such and tried a backslide pin, but Miz got out of it at two and Neville ate a big knee that knocked him on his keister against the ropes. The Miz would pick Neville up and push him into the corner before slapping Neville in the face. The Miz would lift Neville up and kept shouting derogatory remarks at Neville, labeling him stupid for not giving up earlier. The Miz would step onto the apron and make his way to the second rope, and stepped on. The Miz went for a Skull Crushing Finale, but Neville avoided it and Neville would hit a bulldog on The Miz! Neville would make his way up to his feet, would drag The Miz into position, and scale to the top rope. Before Neville could get set for his finishing Red Arrow, The Miz was back to his feet and challenged Neville. The Miz got on the ropes with Neville, trying to hit a superplex, but Neville got out of that and punched The Miz down to the mat. Neville would perch back up and hit the Red Arrow! Neville would make the cover and beat the Hollywood A-Lister. Neville's music hit as he laid on the mat and eventually rolled out to get to a vertical base, as the referee followed to give him the newly won United States Championship. Neville looked as if the match took a lot out of him, as he carried the title in one hand and slapped hands with fans with the other, as he made his way to the back with the referee by him every step.
ROMAN REIGNS and DEAN AMBROSE are about to come out when the music hits, when the cameras go all the way back to the entrance way of the Dallas Cowboys team. Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns head there and the fans are screaming once they realize, as they bump fists and they make their way out there. Ambrose looks ready to fight as Reigns is taking it all in, as they make their way around to the aisle and jump over the barricade as they enter the ring together. THE WYATT FAMILY begin to make their way out, with Bray Wyatt leading his guys out. The fireflies take up AT&T Stadium as Bray Wyatt leads with the incense burning from the lantern, following is Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, and "The Black Sheep" Braun Strowman. They finally make it down and with no rocking chair, Bray just stops and blows the lantern out, as the lights come on at the stadium. Bray stares a hole through Reigns and Ambrose, before turning to his guys and getting them emotionally motivated for this match, as Bray Wyatt sends them on and each get on the apron of the same side of the ring, as Bray Wyatt makes his way to the back, telling the fans that the end for Reigns and Ambrose is here, as he leaves his men to go at it for themselves now. Two-on-Three Handicap MatchDean Ambrose & Roman Reignsvs. "The Wyatt Family" Braun Strowman, Erick Rowan, and Luke HarperThe match began with Braun Strowman setting the tone, but neither Reigns or Ambrose could get the Black Sheep off his feet, and Reigns and Ambrose would join forces to clothesline Strowman over the top rope as Harper and Rowan just watched, knowing Strowman would find his footing and still not be on his back. Reigns and Ambrose were all out of ideas as Luke Harper tagged himself in and shouted at Reigns and Ambrose, telling them there was nothing they could do, but they had no problem taking Harper off his feet. This would lead to Reigns and Ambrose having control, until The Wyatt Family would turn the tables after Dean Ambrose was toppled over the top rope and Erick Rowan threw Ambrose into the steel steps. The Wyatt Family would keep control for a good portion of the match, until Luke Harper gator rolled on Ambrose, but Dean kicked his way outside of the ring, and then the side of Harper's skull felt that strong leg of Ambrose. Ambrose would then duck a clothesline from Erick Rowan and run with a float-over swinging neckbreaker. Ambrose would slide back into the ring and simultaneously tag Roman Reigns while Braun Strowman was tagged in. Reigns would run and try to clothesline Strowman, whose back hasn't touched the mat all match, and when that wouldn't work, he just uppercutted the Black Sheep, and this infuriated Strowman, as Strowman grabbed Roman's throat and pushed him over the top rope. Braun would gloat, but not realize Roman held on. Roman Reigns would go up to the top rope and dive at Strowman for a clothesline, but Strowman blocked it and Reigns fell hard. Strowman lifted Roman Reigns up for a Yokosuka Cutter, but Dean Ambrose would come in and chop Strowman at the knees, and the big man was finally on his back for the first time this match! Ambrose and Reigns would maul Braun before he rolled out of the ring and Luke Harper tagged himself in. Luke would clothesline Reigns, but eat an enzuigiri by Ambrose, though Harper staggered, he didn't fall. Ambrose would then try a Dirty Deeds, but Harper would roll himself out of it and get an uppercut to the jaw on Ambrose, as Ambrose bounced back and hit a clothesline! Ambrose felt the intensity coming through, but Erick Rowan got inside and the two went at it. Roman Reigns would get up and fight as well, but they turned Erick Rowan around and pushed him into Braun Strowman, who was getting back on the apron. This would knock Strowman to the floor, and Reigns would clothesline Rowan to the floor on top of Strowman. Reigns then cocked back for a Superman Punch on Luke Harper that still left him standing, but Ambrose tucked him under for the Dirty Deeds, and the referee insisted it had to be Roman Reigns to cover him, so he did and got the win for the team. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose celebrated with a fist bump and got up in the corners to celebrate and let it all out, beating the Wyatt Family when the odds were stacked against them. They'd bump fists once more before leaving the Wyatt Family in their ruin at WrestleMania.
DOLPH ZIGGLER doesn't walk out when his music hits, while a white limousine heads out of the entrance way and it rides down the entrance ramp, all the way to the ring. The driver stays in the car, while the back opens up and Dolph Ziggler pops out. Dolph goes behind the limousine and climbs onto the back, and then steps onto the top of the car. Dolph Ziggler shouts that he'll show all the fans and show John Cena what stealing the show means, as he then gets back down and walks by the limousine, while the front hood shows "SHOW OFF" in bright blue letters as Ziggler gets inside and is excited to show everyone what he's capable of doing inside the ring. JOHN CENA comes out to his tune all fired up. Cena shouts at the camera it's time to shut Dolph Ziggler up after realizing WrestleMania IS bigger in Texas! Cena salutes before making a huge dart, until he's stopped at the limousine and plays it off comically. Cena stops at the limousine and plays with Dolph before going towards the ring, but he lifts the apron and gets a steel pipe out from under it. Cena goes back over to the limo and smashes the driver seat, where we see the driver of the limo is now gone. This one violent pop grabs Ziggler out of the ring and Dolph gets a gut-full of steel! Cena drops the pipe and throws Ziggler into the steel steps as Cena makes full use of his environment before rolling Ziggler in to begin this match. Dolph Zigglervs. John CenaAfter how things began when Cena and Ziggler were in fighting distance of each other, John Cena had control at the beginning of the match, before Cena got a little overconfident by taking his time, and got a dropkick in the calf and then ate a superkick while he was still on his knees, and Ziggler was able to work the arm of Cena. And while this match got to its later stages, after a few momentum shifts, Cena had regained control by Dolph irish-whipping Cena toward the ropes, but Cena had leaped up onto the second rope, and jumped back with the springboard stunner! John Cena then went to the top rope and was able to hit a leg drop on the back of Ziggler's head, rolling him over and seeing if that was it, but it wasn't as Dolph kicked out at 2. John Cena waited for Dolph to get up before trying a Throwback, but Cena overshot his opposition, where Dolph was in perfect position to taunt Cena's Five Knuckle Shuffle, while instead of running across the ropes, he just flicked his hair and dropped the fist down, as the Cena fans booed for disrespect, while the Dolph Ziggler supporters loved it. Dolph would wait for Cena to come up, irish whipping Cena once again, but Cena countered it. As Dolph came back at Cena, he ate a huge fist by the ticked Cena, and it ROCKED Dolph! Dolph then was picked up for the AA, but weasled out of it, as he then turned Cena back around and low-blowed with his boot. The referee threw out the match, as Cena dropped to his knees, and Dolph spat on Cena as he left the ring to an enormous amount of boos. John Cena summoned the referee over and demanded something, and then Dolph Ziggler was stopped on the ramp to Eden's words that this match WILL be restarted at the request of John Cena. The bell rang and Dolph shook his head, feeling disrespected himself, as he slid into the ring and went over to attack Cena, but got trapped in the STF! Dolph Ziggler nearly tapped but somehow got a grip of the bottom rope. John Cena then looked at the crowd, and goes back to "Old School Cena" as he bends over and turns it up with his shoelaces and this gets a pop as Cena goes off on his momentum-building moves, finishing with his Five Knuckle Shuffle. Cena set up for the AA, but Dolph avoided it and hit a DDT! Dolph then got back up and Cena was rocked as he stumbled to his feet and ate a Zig Zag, with it sure to be it, but John Cena just kicked out at 2! Dolph Ziggler couldn't believe it and he beat the mat as he decided to go up top and tried an elbow drop from there, but to no prevail as Cena moved out of the way, as Dolph got up shaking his arm and turned right into an Attitude Adjustment! John Cena hooked the leg and got the win. The music of John Cena's sounded throughout the building as John Cena made it to his feet and got his hand raised. John Cena would get up and pose for the fans, knowing he won the match the right way and got back down before going down to celebrate this victory with the fans, leaving Dolph eating his own words in the ring, and John Cena recording his 10th victory at WrestleMania.
Eden was backstage when she would introduce the new United States Champion, Neville! EDEN "Neville, earlier tonight you competed in your very first WrestleMania and you walk way as the new United States Champion. What was this moment like for you?" NEVILLE "Eden, I have to tip my cap to The Miz. You're right, this is my first WrestleMania, but I beat someone who has headlined this event before. I couldn't be more happier, Eden." EDEN "So now that you are the WWE's United States Champion. What are your plans?" NEVILLE "I'm just enjoying this moment, it's been one amazing week for WWE in Texas. I'm going to enjoy tonight because to defend this title with honor, I must get back to work tomorrow morning. As for now, I have my friend Sami Zayn defending his Intercontinental Championship against Kevin Owens here next. I think I'm going to skip to the men's locker room and watch some of that." Neville takes off with his United States Championship as the commentators introduce the following contest that Neville alluded to.
KEVIN OWENS walks out to Michael Cole dubbing him "The Prizefighter". Owens heads down to the ring zoned in for his last shot at the Intercontinental Championship against his worst enemy. SAMI ZAYN comes out with the Intercontinental Championship proudly on his waist, so psyched about competing in his very first WrestleMania, taking it all in. WWE Intercontinental Championship MatchKevin Owensvs. Sami Zayn(c)Zayn and Owens had another classic, back-and-forth match they've had plenty in the past, knowing each other for so many years led to a lot of reversals and new tricks. One of those new tricks was by Sami Zayn, who pulled out a 450 Splash, that couldn't get Owens pinned. Zayn asked the referee for a 3 while panting to catch his breath, before he got up and tried to figure out what to do, when he picked Owens up, Owens broke the hold and punched Zayn in the face, which Zayn returned the favor. This exchange of hard-pounding strikes gave Zayn the better hand as he backed Owens all the way to the ropes, where the referee had to intervene. Once the ref stepped out of the middle, Zayn was immediately met with a superkick, as Owens dropped and only got 2 out of that. Kevin Owens ran across the ropes and hit a senton, only getting a 2-count from that also. Kevin Owens would get frustrated and pull Sami Zayn over for a moonsault off the top rope, in which he went right into the knees of Sami Zayn, who was quick to lock in Koji Clutch. Kevin Owens struggled, nearly passing out, but grabbed the ropes with his outstretched right arm, forcing Zayn to let go, not doing so until a late-3. Sami Zayn would wait for Kevin Owens to get to this feet before trying to hit a Helluva Kick, but Kevin Owens moved out of the way and got Zayn with a German suplex, but Zayn landed on his feet! When Owens realized this, Zayn went into a momentum-series of knockdowns, then hitting a couple of arm drags before hitting a dropkick, as Owens rolled out to the commentary table. Zayn would then hit a suicide dive, as Owens landed on the commentary table. Zayn would jump up and punch Owens quite a bit before finally getting off of him. Sami would go under the ring for a weapon, before the referee got on the outside and pulled Zayn away. While Zayn was wrongly arguing with the official, Kevin Owens knocked Sami Zayn into the referee, knocking him down. Kevin Owens would then send Sami Zayn into the ring as he realizes the official's down, and then going to grab a steel chair from the timekeeper's area. Owens got in the ring and hollered for Sami Zayn to get up, and then when he tried a headshot, Owens got a kick to the gut by Zayn. Zayn then pulled the chair out of the hands of Owens, before grabbing the wrist and hitting a Springboard DDT on Owens! Sami Zayn was contemplating using the chair, but used his better judgment and kicked the chair out of the ring. Sami saw Kevin Owens in the corner, in which Zayn would measure up and deliver on the Helluva Kick! Sami would hook the leg before realizing that the referee was still down on the outside. Sami Zayn would go out and check on the referee, before rolling the ref back in. Sami Zayn would get in himself and go over to Kevin Owens who hit a Popup Powerbomb off adrenaline alone! Kevin would drop onto Sami Zayn, as the referee realized and slowly made it to the competitors, but Zayn had kicked out! Kevin Owens went on the deep end before picking Sami Zayn up and sending him into the ropes again, but as Owens lifted Zayn up in the air, Zayn came down with a tornado DDT, that Owens popped up from into the corner, and Zayn hit the Helluva Kick and went down for the cover!! Sami Zayn's music hit and sat beside Kevin Owens after a heart-pounding title defense with a lot of twists and turns as the crowd gave a standing ovation. Sami Zayn would get help up from the official as he raised his Intercontinental Championship in the air before dropping back down onto his knees. Sami Zayn would get back up and celebrate before he realized Kevin Owens had somehow managed to make it to a vertical base and the victory music would stop. Sami Zayn would walk over to the corner and offer his hand out, as Michael Cole recalls the rich history between these competitors, and Kevin Owens slaps the hand of Sami in frustration before walking past Zayn, dropping to the mat and rolling out before making his way to the back. Zayn shrugged his shoulders and continued on with his celebration as his music resumed.
BRAY WYATT is set to come out, as the fireflies fill AT&T Stadium, but a 50-50 split of men in Erick Rowan's mask, and the other half in Braun Strowman's mask, head out to fill the top of the stage, all holding a lantern in their hands, and there's a gap to where Bray Wyatt steps out with his lantern, the burning incense inside. Wyatt makes his way past the dressed up men, heading down to sit in his rocking chair before blowing the incense out. Bray Wyatt steps inside the ring after soaking it all in on the outside.
DANIEL BRYAN comes out to a ruckus crowd doing the YES! chant before he could even step through the curtain. He shows off a huge grin to go down the long ramp to get there as the camera zooms out. The camera gets a closeup of Bryan's face, and then Bray Wyatt kneeling inside the ring. The commentators point out that the other members of The Wyatt Family had a match earlier, so they won't be able to be at ringside for this match, so it's expected to be an one-on-one affair. Daniel Bryan made his way into the ring, ready for competition and writing the next chapter in his career feud with Bray Wyatt.
Bray Wyatt
vs.
Daniel Bryan
The chemistry and the familiarity between Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt was evident in this match, as well as the boiled up tensions leading up to their first singles match in a long time. Wyatt continued to toy with Bryan's brain, even about to catch the shoot kicks, but he rolled out of the ring and laughed Bryan into suiciding diving after Wyatt, but Wyatt got out of dodge, and Bray took control. Later on in the match, one controlled by Bray Wyatt since, Daniel actually got slammed into the mat by Bray and Wyatt wanted to end it there, as he went into the corner, and began to crawl towards Daniel Bryan, but Bryan kipped up, tributing to Mr. WrestleMania, Shawn Michaels! Bray was shocked and flipped over, but without thinking, got himself in perfect position to the shoot kicks he missed out on earlier, and Bryan definitely made him pay for that, before swinging for the fences, but Bray ducked and rolled out of the ring at the ramp side. Daniel Bryan would then execute a suicide dive this time as Wyatt just turned around. The crowd was pumped as Daniel Bryan made his way up the steps and got onto the top turnbuckle, many wondering what he was doing, and Bryan leaped out to the floor, connecting with a headbutt, getting the crowd out of their seats!
Bryan and Wyatt would struggle, but make their way to vertical bases at the same time. Bryan would go after Wyatt, but Bray would counter by throwing Bryan into the ring. Wyatt would follow and hit a running body block onto Bryan there. Bray was still shaking off the effects of the diving headbutt, as he then hit a running senton. Bray Wyatt would be frustrated and anxious enough to get things over with now, by just picking Daniel Bryan up and setting up for Sister Abigail, but after the kiss, Bryan transitioned this into the YES! Lock. Bray would try not to tap out, as he fought the urge to do so and the pain that comes from the hold, when he would finally force his strength upon Daniel, and reaching with his leg to touch the rope behind him, enough to force the referee in there to break the hold. Daniel Bryan got frustrated, as he then began to draw YES! chants from the crowd, ready to hit the Knee-Plus, but Bray Wyatt would move out of the way and try to hit a running senton, but Bryan would move out of the way. Bray Wyatt would then get up to only be brought back down with the successful attempt at the Knee-Plus! Daniel made the cover and got the victory.
Daniel Bryan's music hit and Bryan made it to his feet to get his hand raised, earning this victory over Bray Wyatt. A replay of the "WrestleMania Moment" of Bryan hitting the headbutt onto the outside is shown while Daniel Bryan continues his celebration in the ring after just scoring a huge victory over Bray, increasing his winning streak at WrestleMania with four consecutive victories since WrestleMania 29. Daniel would then lead a YES! chant as he left the ring and went up the ramp to finish the fans off.
PAIGE makes her way out in her special attire to be the special guest referee. She's introduced as the authority of this match while she gallops down to the ring and stands beside Eden, who is ready to announce the combatants for the #1 prize amongst the divas.
BECKY LYNCH heads out through the smoke that's arisen for her entrance as "Maiden Ireland" gets ready to win her first ever title in the WWE. Becky Lynch enters the ring and looks amazed at the WrestleMania spectacle, before she looks over at Paige and offers his hand, which Paige displays a friendly smile and shakes it, before Becky begins to stretch, awaiting her competition.
CHARLOTTE walks out, coughing, waving the smoke out of her face that remains at the top of the stage. Charlotte proudly displays the Divas Championship around her waist as she walks to the ring and intimidates Becky from afar. She does her signature routine while getting in the ring. Charlotte takes the Divas Championship off her as she holds it up high, taunting both Becky Lynch and with poor judgement, Paige as well, as she's set to defend her title next.
WWE Divas Championship Match
Charlotte(c)
vs.
Becky Lynch
with
Paige as Special Guest Referee
Charlotte and Becky Lynch are competing in their very first WrestleMania after moving up from NXT last summer as friends, with Paige being the one to push for their advancement in the WWE, while tonight they're willing to rip each others heads off for a chance to walk out with the hardware of the divas. Becky Lynch proved this match she could hang with Charlotte, who she has accompanied to the ring for months now, and that both of these divas are among the best WWE's divas division has to offer, while Paige's presence in the stripes have proven to be a non-factor thus far, calling it very clean and down the middle, despite Charlotte getting mouthy at times and testing her luck. An instance of this where Charlotte was pulling the hair of Becky Lynch and stomping Becky's face into the bottom covered turnbuckle, and Paige pulled Charlotte off and Charlotte back-talked the guest official before going back to Becky Lynch, where Lynch would pull Charlotte into the second rope and then try for a pin attempt, much like Charlotte does with the bridging pin, when Charlotte kicks out, not knowing who to yell at, Paige for the distraction or Lynch for the disrespect, as Becky attacks Charlotte and is getting on a roll before hitting a couple dropkicks and then getting in the armbar, slowing the match back down. Charlotte would eventually get out and swoop the leg out from under Becky, and Charlotte's standing elbow drop proved to be unsuccessful as Lynch rolled out of the way. Lynch and Charlotte would both be back to their feet as they'd exchange forearms, elbows, and then a massive slap by Charlotte, a slap would be returned by Lynch, and then Charlotte would spit down on Becky, and the two would go at it, where Paige had no sense of control anymore.
These two would go at it until eventually Charlotte would roll out of the ring to catch her breath, but Becky would hop onto the second rope, and then leap to the top, before hitting a springboard crossbody to the outside of the ring! Becky would get right back to her feet as she could sense a title in her reach, rolling Charlotte back into the ring and then following her in, beginning with several kicks before hitting an Exploder Suplex on Charlotte! Becky would then waste no time before locking in the Dis-arm-her, while Charlotte didn't put up much of a fight and ended up tapping. Becky would fall to her back as she lifted her arms in the air.
Becky Lynch would stand to her feet and lift her arms up and hug Paige, but Paige was unresponsive, as Becky would pull away and then come back to reality, realizing her music wasn't playing right now as Becky tries to figure out what's going on, she's decked by Paige. The supposedly unbiased official hit challenger Becky Lynch with the Ram-Paige, as this match continued. Charlotte would be out of it, not knowing what was going on, as Paige went over to her and demanded Charlotte to go on and cover Becky, and once Charlotte caught on and obeyed, three quick slaps to the mat and this was all over.
Paige quickly grabbed the Divas Championship away from the timekeepers area before getting inside and handing the title to the retaining champion Charlotte. Charlotte would laugh as she holds her other arm that's not being raised, and Paige would shout at Becky that this was THEIR house, not Lynch's, as Paige and Charlotte would kick a few times at Becky Lynch before leaving Lynch in the ring all alone, heartbroken at the grandest stage.
Lilian Garcia was given the opportunity to announce the attendance numbers for this year's WrestleMania, announcing 101,984 in attendance, a new WrestleMania record!
JEFF HARDY, otherwise known as the Charismatic Enigma, makes his way out to the ramp as the crowd are pumped for the upcoming match. Hardy does his signature taunt as pyro shoots from behind him before he bounces down the ramp, acknowledging the fans. Hardy hops in the ring and goes to the corner to pose and clap his hands.
BROCK LESNAR steps out from the curtain, followed by his manager, PAUL HEYMAN, as the two make their way down the long ramp of AT&T Stadium, ready to go to war tonight in Dallas. Lesnar would stare a hole through Jeff Hardy before hopping on the apron and his pyro would go off in the corners before stepping inside the ring. Lesnar would back up to the corner, bouncing back and forth, as Heyman tries to get a last few words in before his client's match begins, where anything will go.
Jeff Hardy
vs.
Brock Lesnar
With the WWE Universe knowing what to expect, this match certainly delivered. Jeff Hardy would go after Lesnar, but Hardy only drove directly into the storm that was in Suplex City, and with the fans counting out loud, there's been 14 suplexes delivered so far. Jeff Hardy's managed to get some offense in, but it was really by using his defense. Hardy had pulled the rope down on a charging Lesnar, and then executed a dropkick through the ropes on the outside. Hardy would eventually brawl on the outside of the ring and it would seek into the crowd, as the two would throw trash cans at each other, use the environment around one another. They'd begin to make their way back to the ring, but Jeff would make sure Lesnar was leaning over the barricade, half his body in limbo, before Hardy would go up the steel steps and leap towards Lesnar, hitting a DDT as Lesnar's head crashed on the floor. Hardy would get Lesnar back in the ring and use his offensive attacks the fans have known for years, and that's where they were now, after Hardy had attempted a Swanton Bomb, and Lesnar had kicked out at two.
Trying to decide how to end this match, Jeff Hardy would wait for Brock to get to his feet and try the Twist of Fate, but as Hardy twirled around, Lesnar locked the waist and hit a 15th Suplex, not letting go, and then hitting a 16th.. a 17th.. an 18th.. a 19th.. then the TWENTIETH suplex of the match! Brock Lesnar would let go and wait for Jeff to get up before putting Hardy on his shoulders and trying for the F-5, but Hardy would spin right off as he'd kick Lesnar in the gut and execute the Twist of Fate! Hardy would roll Lesnar over for a cover and nearly get the two-count, but not quite! Jeff Hardy wouldn't waste any breath before pulling Lesnar off the mat and hitting another Twist of Fate. Hardy knew it wouldn't be enough, as he pulled Lesnar over to the corner and Jeff would throw one of his arm sleeves to the crowd as he scaled the top rope and hit a Swanton Bomb! Hardy would pull himself towards Lesnar, and sensing the end, Paul Heyman would pull the referee out right after a second smack of the mat. The referee would argue with Paul Heyman before Jeff Hardy was disgusted, and then Hardy exited the ring and stood behind Heyman before pulling him around. Heyman pleaded his case as Hardy had a hold of Heyman and looked to the crowd to get a shot in, before Brock Lesnar forcefully grabbed Hardy by the hair and threw him back-first into the steps. Brock Lesnar would pick Jeff Hardy up and throw him into the ring, as Lesnar would then go in to tower over Hardy, looking all business. Lesnar would hit two more suplexes, putting the total at 22, as Lesnar would then taunt before lifting Jeff Hardy up for an F-5, and connecting! Lesnar, thinking of putting Hardy's shoulders to the mat once and for all, was persuaded by an irate Paul Heyman to hit another F-5. Brock Lesnar would laugh and pick Jeff up by his head, taunting him, and was about to put him back on his shoulders, before Hardy's leg shot straight up to Lesnar's groin and a Twist of Fate would get hit! Jeff would make the cover and the referee would ignore Paul Heyman trying to climb on the apron, as he counted the 3 then!
Jeff Hardy's music sounded after a brutal war between two of WWE's best, as he rolled out on the outside and knelt to catch his breath, before the referee would follow him and lift his arm up. Paul Heyman would sit over the slayed beast, as Jeff Hardy celebrated with the fans as he went up the ramp and left WrestleMania a winner.
FINN BALOR has a different titantron pop up than everyone's used to having, as not only does Finn Balor come up, but "The Demon" Finn Balor comes out to the applause from the crowd on Balor's side tonight. Finn would creepily make his way to the ring, ready for action, with the demonic side totally locked in for this match, his first ever match at the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania.
This tribute video airs for "The Deadman", reliving his time in the business as a sold-out AT&T Stadium watches on, including his opponent Finn Balor. The tribute fades into a video showing the tombstones of the men The Undertaker has beaten at WrestleMania, as well as the dates, and at the top of the graveyard, The Undertaker is seen staring down at them, and the camera zooms in on his face as his eyes go white, and that goes into...
THE UNDERTAKER steps out without a man in the arena sitting while his music plays. The Undertaker slowly and methodically makes his way down to the ring as he stops at the steel steps before walking up the steel steps and cuing AT&T Stadium to light up. He'd step inside the ring and take off his entrance wear before staring down at Finn Balor, as the fans chant "Thank You Taker" before the match even begins.
The Undertaker's Retirement Match
Finn Balor
vs.
The Undertaker
Though Finn Balor is a veteran to the wrestling world, he's in his first WrestleMania match, and The Undertaker tried to use this against the mind of the demon Finn Balor. The Undertaker would try to keep Finn Balor grounded and wear him down, strike him in the gut, and take as much air out of Balor as he could to make up the age difference. This match had delivered, as though it was not a disqualification match, the referee would let these two go, while the French announce table was taken out with a Coup de Grâce, Balor leaping from the top turnbuckle to the announce table onto The Undertaker which led there, which was one of the few moments in the match you realized Balor, as much respect as he has for The Undertaker, was not taking this match lightly.
The match drew to a close as Finn Balor had Undertaker in a headscissors lock on the ground, which Undertaker would battle out of that by punching left and right to the ribs of Finn Balor, making him release, and then Undertaker went straight in with a hard-right hand that shocked the Texas crowd. The Undertaker would get up and pull the straps down as he also signaled the end for Finn Balor, but Balor wisely blocked the Tombstone Piledriver, and ended up reversing it into a Bloody Sunday! Balor went for the cover, but the legendary Undertaker raised his shoulder up at 2. Balor would get back up and ponder his next move, before pulling Undertaker over and going for another Coup de Grâce, this one in the ring, but Balor would have balance issues, allowing Taker enough time to get up and throw Balor off the top and inside the ring. Undertaker would grab Balor's wrist and he'd go up to the top and the fans gasped to see Old School executed perfectly! Undertaker would waste no time and go and hit the Tombstone Piledriver, as he laid Balor's hands across his chest, but only managed to get a 2-count! The Undertaker grew furious as he'd waste no time by grabbing Balor by the throat, lifting him back up to a vertical base, and delivering on a Chokeslam, and then doing it AGAIN. Undertaker would say it's over before dropping to his knees, only to get a 2-count once again on Finn Balor. The Undertaker wasn't furious, but showed a sign of respect as he nodded, contemplating his next move. The Undertaker would pick Balor up and shouted at his face to stay down, before lifting him up and trying to go for Bloody Sunday as the crowd volume raised significantly, but Balor kicked his way down out of it and instead nailed a knee in the face of The Undertaker, which Undertaker shook off as being "fair as fair", after all, trying to use one of Balor's finishing maneuvers. They'd lock up and Balor would get around the waist of Undertaker, but the grip would loosen after Undertaker elbowed Balor. Undertaker would slingshot himself with the ropes, but right into the Sling Blade! Balor would go after Undertaker and only reach a 2-count, as well.
Finn Balor shook his head and actually went up top again, but again had difficulties in the same corner, as Undertaker would get conscious enough to get to his knees and knock the ropes, with Balor getting knocked down a peg. The Undertaker would raised up and grab Finn Balor by the throat, as Balor was led up enough to get Undertaker to throw him down with a modified Chokeslam! Undertaker would signify the end as he went for, and connected, on another Tombstone Piledriver! Undertaker would cross the arms, but Balor would somehow manage to raise his shoulder up as Undertaker was in complete shock right now at the heart of Finn Balor. The Undertaker would lay there exhausted before getting to his feet and putting Balor between his legs, as he signals the Last Ride, but Balor pushes himself out of the tough predicament, and then lands a running front dropkick, knocking The Undertaker back into the corner. Balor would recognize his opportunity and quickly pull Undertaker out and he went up, this time a different corner, and hit Coup de Grâce! Finn Balor would hook the leg, but at the very last millisecond, The Undertaker used everything he had to kick out. Finn Balor would leave shock mode as The Undertaker was on his hands and knees, before Balor went up to the top and nailed a diving double foot stomp, dropping his feet right onto the back of Undertaker's head, as the commentators were sure this was it, as Balor rolled him over and only got a 2, wow! Finn Balor would rush over to the corner and sit down opposite of The Undertaker, wowed like the rest of us, as he watched The Undertaker struggle to make it to his feet, and on his way up, Undertaker and Balor locked eyes, as we could see a lot had been taken out of the 51-year-old man, but Taker said to bring it on, with everyone hearing it now that the crowd was silenced. Finn would stand up and charge, hitting another running front dropkick, knocking Undertaker back into the corner. Balor would have to drag Undertaker by the foot out of the corner, as Balor's conscious made it hard for him to climb the turnbuckle, knowing what he was about to do, and hit the final Coup de Grâce, pinning The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32.
The music of Finn Balor would hit as he had his arm across The Undertaker, still, the way he won this match. Balor would roll out of the ring quickly and leave as he slapped a few hands in the crowd, not stopping as he made his way to the back with his head lowered, and the music would stop as The Undertaker continued to lay in the ring with a dead-silent AT&T Stadium and not a seat occupied as everyone was on their feet. The Undertaker would lay, until he tried to sit up and couldn't quite get there in the first couple attempts before the crowd began to gave Undertaker a round of applause, and that motivated Undertaker to use everything in his body to sit up. The Undertaker would take a moment sitting before grimacing to his feet. He'd stand in the center of the ring, looking around at the venue with fans showing nothing but gratitude and respect for the 25+ years in the business. The Undertaker's ears would then perk to the top of the ramp, as the moans of the drones began, and we saw them come out, not holding lights, but just coming out to fill the ramp as The Undertaker let a tear drop down his face. The Undertaker would watch the drones come up and stop, before looking back at the crowd and hearing their applause and "Thank You Taker" fill the stadium. Undertaker would step on out as he went down the steel steps, before going past the drones, leaving WrestleMania for the final time.
The following names were recognized for their Hall of Fame inductions into this year's class: Big Boss Man (posthumously) Honky Tonk Man Ivan Koloff John Bradshaw Layfield Rob Van Dam Vader Demolition Jacqueline
CESARO comes out to the sound of sirens and a roar from the crowd. Cesaro heads out with a towel over his head, covering his headphones like this is no big match. Cesaro would walk down and enter the ring like normal before ripping the towel off and hollering. Once the music would cut off, Cesaro would then take the headphones out and be able to hear the crowd all-in for Cesaro tonight, when the Swiss Superman shows a little bit of emotion, meaning so much to him the support. SETH ROLLINS would step out from the curtain at the event one year ago he won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Seth Rollins walked down the ramp with a confident boost in his step, until he got up the steel steps and came face-to-face with Cesaro, knowing it was real and going down tonight. Seth would still get in and do his normal routine before he would get down and pull the title off his waist and hold it up to Cesaro, before handing it to the referee and letting the introductions take place. WWE World Heavyweight Championship MatchCesarovs. Seth Rollins(c)This match was awesome to begin with, as Cesaro and Seth Rollins would try to beat the other out intellectually, reversing maneuvers and knowing where to pick their moments, but they'd then turn straight to their athletic ability, pulling off new stunts and moves you'd need Hulk-like strength or Spiderman-esque agility to pull off. Cesaro showed why he was more than deserving of this world title opportunity on the grandest stage, as he was in the series of Briding German Suplexes, forcing Rollins to use energy to kick out each time. Cesaro would then toss Rollins onto the apron as he tried a superplex and had converted. Triple H, who came out earlier in the match to get a better view from ringside, is looking worried as Cesaro was gaining momentum, irish whipping Seth into the corner and hitting an European Uppercut and he kept doing this for a little bit before Seth plopped in the center of the ring and Cesaro signaled time for the Cesaro Swing! Cesaro would spin the world champion around until he was dizzy before cracking his neck. Triple H would stand up and go over to the apron as he called the referee over and Cesaro was distracted. Cesaro and Triple H then got into an argument before Cesaro turned around and was nailed with a Pedigree! Seth had hit the move Triple H's allowed him to use, while Seth rolled Cesaro over and was for sure he'd have the win, but Cesaro lifted his shoulder up at two as Seth ran his hands through his hair. Triple H then pulled a sledgehammer out from under the ring and handed it off to Seth, telling him to finish the job. The referee got in between Seth and Cesaro, when Triple H decided to hop on the apron and distracted the referee, who was telling him to let them fight as Rollins blew Cesaro's ribs with the sledgehammer. THE ROCK IS IN DALLAS! A big pop as The Rock lived up to his promise for having Cesaro's back tonight. The Rock walked down the ramp as Triple H hopped off the apron and the two met at the side of the ring. The two would go at it before Triple H would knee Rock in the gut and throw him without care into the barricade. Triple H shouted for Seth to finish the job, as the champ was distracted, and Rollins would take Cesaro for a ride to the turnbuckle with a powerbomb! Triple H went back to The Rock for the crotch chop when The Rock tackled Triple H and the crowd exploded again, as The Rock popped up with a taunt of his own. Seth was going for a Pedigree when The Rock slid in the ring and hit a Rock Bottom on Seth Rollins! The Rock would then step out of the ring and walk up the ramp, leaving his mark on this year's main event, as Cesaro was stirring after Rollins got laid out. Cesaro would turn into another mode and try for a Neutralizer, but out of instinct Rollins got out and kicked Cesaro in the gut, and try for a Pedigree again, but Cesaro would use the backbody drop to save himself. Cesaro would then hit a running European Uppercut on Seth to bounce him into the ropes and Cesaro would sweep the fit of the world champion, trying to go for a Cesaro Swing, when Rollins would use his feet to get himself out of it. Seth, getting up nearly at the same time of Cesaro, hit a Skywalker on Cesaro! Seth would go for the cover then, but only got a two-count. Seth Rollins, then frustrated, would back up and say he's going to end with a Curb Stomp. Rollins would back up to the corner and wait for Cesaro to get up. At this time, Triple H had stirred and grabbed the steel chair from under Lilian Garcia, as he slid it under the ring under Cesaro, as Rollins would charge for a Curb Stomp, but Cesaro would move out of the way before and try to hit the Neutralizer, but Seth got out once again and hit a Pedigree on the steel chair! Seth would roll Cesaro over and opportunistically cover Cesaro and retain his championship! The music would hit for Seth Rollins as Triple H demanded the title be given to Seth Rollins instantly, as Triple H got inside and celebrated with his champion Seth Rollins. During the celebration, Triple H would spot The Rock at the corner of his eye coming back down, as Triple H would pick the steel chair up, the same one that he slid into the ring to cost Cesaro the victory. The Rock would pause at the bottom of the ramp while Triple H dared The Rock, when The Rock looked over and picked the sledgehammer up, Triple H's signature weapon. Triple H would get ticked as he'd toss the steel chair out and asked for The Rock to come in like a man, but Rock came in with the sledgehammer and this made Triple H sacrifice Seth Rollins, as Rollins was bashed in the head with the sledgehammer as Triple H had gotten out of dodge and already left through the crowd. As The Rock was trying to spot Triple H out, the music of Mr. Money in the Bank Sheamus hit! Sheamus would charge down to the ring with briefcase in hand. Sheamus would slide in and beg the referee to call the bell, in which Sheamus officially cashed his Money in the Bank briefcase in, and the bell rang. Sheamus would wait for Seth Rollins to get up, ready to hit the Brogue Kick, in which The Rock was leaving and handed the sledgehammer off to Sheamus. The referee tried convincing Sheamus out of it, and The Rock told the referee to let them play, mimicking Triple H, in which the referee personally snickered and stepped aside. The Rock would leave as Sheamus would wait for Seth Rollins to get up, as Sheamus asked the fans if he wanted him to use the sledgehammer now, as the fans seemed to be behind a successful cash-in tonight. Sheamus waited for Rollins to make it to his feet, likely not knowing what's going on, but he had turned around and saw a charging Sheamus with a sledgehammer leading the way, in which he hit a drop toe-hold on Sheamus, as Sheamus' face went straight into the second turnbuckle. Sheamus bounced out as Rollins was still getting up and Sheamus would dunk a clothesline and Sheamus would charge right through to the ropes and coming off them, hit a Brogue Kick on Rollins! Sheamus would then be pulling Seth away from the ropes to the center of the ring, when Curtis Axel slid into the ring and hit a swinging neckbreaker on Sheamus... What?! Axel came out of nowhere and hollered down at Sheamus as he put Rollins over Sheamus' body, in which the referee reluctantly, and quite confused, counted the three, while Mr. Perfect's son leaves after costing Sheamus his perfect WrestleMania moment. The music of the victorious world champion would hit once again as Seth Rollins laid motionless on top of Sheamus, and Sheamus was the first to come-to, as he pushed Rollins off him, as Sheamus went off in the ring, in which the referee had already left the ring. Sheamus would leave livid, as when Rollins finally came to, he set at the edge of the apron looking at the commentators as he got his title, clinging to it tight as he escapes a second WrestleMania after stealing the world title.
