20 Best WWE Matches Of The Decade (So Far)

14. Brock Lesnar Vs. Roman Reigns - WrestleMania 31

Wasn't this a pleasant surprise? When Roman Reigns beat Daniel Bryan at Fast Lane (in another splendid match), fans were aghast. The WWE were actually going to push The Big Dog into the main event slot of WrestleMania, despite the fact that the audience really didn't want to see him there. Those same fans were hoping that, if Reigns was going all the way to 'Mania, then at least Lesnar, the man who had been on such a roll for the past year, would completely destroy him. They got their wish: The Beast Incarnate unloaded with suplexes, stiff shots and one of the most vicious clotheslines you're ever likely to see in a WWE ring. Reigns came back and even managed to make Brock bleed by throwing him head-first into the ring post. Yes, a PG-era match featured blood, and it was awesome (since the WWE doctors didn't come out and try to plug the wound). Drawing blood was a mistake on Reigns' part, since it only made Lesnar angrier. The crowd reactions to this one were something else. Has there ever been more fans rooting against a supposed top babyface before? The finish, with Seth Rollins cashing-in his MITB briefcase and thus creating a triple threat match, will no doubt go down as one of the best and more unpredictable in WrestleMania history.
