10 Reasons WrestleMania 31 Was Overrated

3. Cena Beat Rusev

The moment John Cena's pre-match montage aired (including tasteless footage of coffins draped in American flags, a disgraceful attempt at using real tragedies to fuel crowd support) the result of this bout was a foregone conclusion. The undefeated Rusev became just another victim of Cena's refusal to ever give up, suffering his first loss in the WWE after a very strong build in the run-up to WrestleMania. That seems all for nothing now, as the Bulgarian will likely find himself engaged in another endless sequence of midcard feuds, desperately trying to keep his heat from fizzling out. At least the sight of Rusev rumbling into the arena in a huge tank will live long in the memory as this year's best entrance, as well as one of the most spectacular in the history of 'Mania. The less said about Cena's shockingly jingoistic video package, the better.
