10 Best Performers At WrestleMania 31

Who were the standout movers and shakers at 'Mania this year?

There are few sights in all of professional wrestling like the opening shot of the live crowd at WrestleMania. Credit where credit is due, WWE routinely get it spot on, harnessing an atmosphere which no other event on the calendar can match - so breath taking is the scene, that it must be maddening for the performers behind the curtain, looking on at monitors and knowing they're about to step foot into such a cavernous space. General feedback coming out of this year's 'Mania seems to be favourable, people appear to be digging what WWE were selling, and there's a genuine buzz going forward, mainly due to a conclusion which few people saw coming. A curious mix of veterans and new blood permeated the show, and it never seemed to be forced, which is a real compliment to how the promotion's writing staff organised the card. Everyone seemed to be determined to make it a memorable night, but there were stand outs in the crowd, performers who got everything right and made the evening all that more special. This list aims to acknowledge those who made WrestleMania 31 a day to remember, putting in world class performances that won't be forgotten any time in the near future.
