10 Stiffest WWE Matches Of The PG Era

Everyone expected the worst going into the main event of WrestleMania 31. Roman Reigns clearly wasn't ready for such a big occasion, and what was meant to be the crowning of a new king was expected to end up flat and disappointing, with nobody really buying Reigns as a guy who could beat Lesnar.

Somewhere in the build to the bout WWE must have realised that Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns in a wrestling match simply wasn't going to work, so what we got instead was Lesnar beating the ever-loving tar out of Reigns. In the middle of all the grounding and all that pounding Reigns managed to get caught on the apron, but any thought that this would be considered a safe place was negated when Lesnar practically decapitates him with a clothesline. A lesser man's head would have unwittingly found themselves with front row WrestleMania seats.

Brock would take off his gloves and give Reigns a good old papa's beating, slapping the everloving you know what out of him. This was accompanied by a wonderful slow motion replay, where Roman's cheeks seemingly cave in from the force. Reigns responded to this by smiling at the Beast, a sure fire sign of the delirium brought on by being beaten to a pulp.

Seth Rollins would come out to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase, digging the WWE out of a creative hole and saving Reigns from further violence.
