10 Best WWE Pay-Per-Views Of The Past Decade
5. WrestleMania 31
A thoroughly enjoyable WrestleMania despite the now-familiar lengthy run-time, the 'Show Of Shows' Bay Area setting shone a light on the audience and roster alike. The daytime scene wasn't ideal for The Undertaker's senseless squash of Bray Wyatt, but then, the meeting between 'The Deadman' and 'The Eater Of Worlds' wasn't ideal for the card itself.
Away from that sh*tshow, Seth Rollins gave Randy Orton his best WrestleMania singles match in years before returning at the end of the show to become the first Money In The Bank winner to cash in on 'The Grandest Stage'.
His intrusion was a sublime solution to the super-heated Roman Reigns/Brock Lesnar main event. Speculation had previously ran rampant that Lesnar's UFC return was imminent, but a deal-sealing WWE contract signing earlier in the week added substantially more intrigue to the bloodletting of 'The Big Dog'. Manhandling Reigns as few others had done, Lesnar had all-but punched himself out by the time 'The Architect' arrived to build his part in a brand new triple threat main event.
In another combination that would manifest itself yet again years later, Ronda Rousey shooed off Stephanie McMahon and Triple H alongside The Rock. Then undefeated and a white hot mainstream star, Ronda's placement in a WWE ring was a genuine coup for the group.
