WrestleMania 33: 10 Best Moments

10. Rob Gronkowski Gets Hype

Say what you will about WWE’s propensity to put celebrity guests over their own wrestlers, but WrestleMania is the one night of the year when such moves are forgivable. The event’s tradition is built on moments like this, but as overbearing as the celebrities can be, they were used with surprising restraint at WM33.

We got Al Roker announcing John Cena and Nikki Bella vs. The Miz and Maryse, then the obligatory Pitbull concert, and nothing else on the show proper. Instead of stalling a potentially important main card moment with a non-wrestler, WWE kept the biggest spot on the Kickoff Show, and the conclusion of the largely inconsequential Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was at ringside to watch his friend Mojo Rawley in action, and when Jinder Mahal provoked a tussle with him, the two-time Super Bowl Champion had to get involved. Gronk pushed through security, hit the ring, and trashed Mahal with a running shoulder block, aiding Mojo to victory, and closing the bland Battle Royal on a big moment. Simple, harmless fun.
