10 Best WWE Pay-Per-Views Of The Decade
8. WrestleMania 35
Actual wrestling history trumps typical WWE bullsh*t, and the gravitas of two magnificently booked moments carried an uneven card to such a degree it became the very best of the supersized WrestleMania era.
Moving from the margins to the main event, the Women's Championship Winner Take All clash between Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch fell a touch short on quality but brought bags of catharsis in crowning 'The Man'. Her SummerSlam-to-WrestleMania stint was the stuff of dreams for a performer, if not whatever endgame the writing team had in mind.
The parallels were evident in Kofi Kingston's unexpected march to the 'Show Of Shows', having forced his way into the headliner with stirring displays as Ali's replacement earlier that year. A gauntlet match/Elimination Chamber run earmarked him as the natural challenger for The New Daniel Bryan, and he made on good on his word with a fantastic tear-soaked victory.
There was a lot to like elsewhere too - Seth Rollins conquered Brock Lesnar (the first time) in uniquely emphatic fashion, Shane McMahon and The Miz delivered a fun brawl, a big bump and meme of the evening, whilst Roman Reigns low-level return against Drew McIntyre ensured that the disdain the audience once had for his character couldn't tank another show.
