10 Best Performers At WrestleMania 31

7. Roman Reigns

Poor Roman Reigns. Not only was the guy criticised from pillar to post by millions of fans before his match against Brock Lesnar at 'Mania, but he's now the odd man out in the WWE Title scene following the conclusion of the show. It seems likely that Seth Rollins, the new champion, will enter a program against Brock Lesnar, but that really depends on Lesnar's new contract with WWE, and how many dates are stipulated. If the former titleholder can't commit to a full time feud with Rollins, there are few better choices than Reigns, who entered a solid-as-they-come performance at WrestleMania. Defying the critics, it's a credit to Reigns that both he and Lesnar were putting on an enjoyable bout long before Rollins became involved. Fans will never know how successful Roman Reigns would have been had he been pushed to the moon and booked to defeat Lesnar cleanly on the grand stage, but losing could actually be the best thing that has ever happened to the man. Going forward, fans may not be quite as frosty to the guy, now that he isn't being "shoved down throats" like before.
