10 Most Shocking WrestleMania 31 Moments

Did Scott Hall really just take a backdrop on the floor?

So Wrestlemania's completed, the main event ending in one of the most thrilling moments in Wrestlemania history as Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. However, aside from that finish, there were numerous other surprises on the show. For an event that many did not expect to deliver as it did, Wrestlemania was truly fantastic. However, the shocks on the show were a mixed bag. We finally got our "RKO outta nowhere," as well as a scintillating performance from The Undertaker. On the other side, if expecting Sting and HHH to be a victory for "the Vigilante," or for Rusev to remain undefeated, those weren't finishes that were meant to be. As well, there's now a solid MMA presence in WWE, as between Brock Lesnar's blood playing a prominent role in the main event to a potential money match being set between Triple H/Stephanie McMahon and The Rock/Ronda Rousey, that was a most unexpected development. Here's a list of ten moments that definitely let our jaws hit the ground at the "Showcase of the Immortals." Enjoy!
