10 Best Wrestling Matches Of 2025

6. IYO Sky Vs. Bianca Belair Vs. Rhea Ripley (WWE WrestleMania 41)

This was WWE, everything it strives to be, in one glorious package.

A sprawling vista of tens of thousands of fans packed into a gigantic stadium made all the bigger by WWE’s world-class production values. Three toyetic, ultra-marketable wrestlers, action figures come to life, executing impossible-looking feats of power and athleticism. This didn’t just feel massive; it made everything else feel tiny. This was WWE’s promotional muscle and booming rhetoric made real. Sports entertainment nirvana, best in the world-tier wrestling action, IYO Vs. Rhea Vs. Bianca was phenomenal.

With its elaborate, thoughtfully planned exchanges thrillingly disguised as opportunistic bids for momentum, this might be the very best WWE Triple Threat match ever. In a match like this, the trick is to make the audience forget where the third wrestler is. This was best explored when Rhea caught a leapfrogging Bianca with a big boot with a mind-blowing blast radius. IYO floored Rhea with a stiff springboard missile dropkick. IYO celebrated with her signature appeal, which was the trick: she was pounced out of her celebration and into oblivion by a recovered Bianca.

There was no downtime here; the action was so propulsive that the crowd was hypnotised from minute one. There was a shockingly violent tenor to it, also, that was reserved for the grandest stage. Doing bumps on top of a ring post is ill-advised, but undoubtedly awesome, and that spot felt like an organic escalation of a total war, not some dumb and empty ‘WrestleMania Moment’.

One of the very best WrestleMania matches ever - certainly better than many WrestleMania main events.
