4 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE WrestleMania 27

By Michael Hamflett / March 29, 2019

Ups...

4. Face Turn

Cody Rhodes and Rey Mysterio's simple but satisfying storyline was supported by an equally enjoyable encounter on the 'Grandest Stage' that suffered slightly from having to follow a World Championship match despite only going on second.

Rhodes looked doubly assured as a heel compared to his indifferent display the prior year, whilst Mysterio's aura was protected one more year before the persistently punishing schedule predicated his early-decade decline.

Cody's win stood him in good stead too - the "Smoke And Mirrors" weren't half as needed for the 'Grandson Of A Plumber' as he evolved beyond Legacy into something closer to the performer that later gambled on himself.
