The next two entries wouldn't be possible without the influence of Roman Reigns or his Bloodline stable. It's important to recognise that when showering praise on WWE for booking real-life mates Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to beat The Usos for those Undisputed Tag-Team Titles at WrestleMania.

It was endlessly heartwarming to see the pair bubble over with emotion as they celebrated in front of a happy live crowd in LA. Putting that tag match on last during 'Mania's opening night was the right call, and it conjured up the same kind of vivid passion Bryan Danielson did when he headlined in 2014.

Sometimes, wrestling is just awesome eh?

Everyone knew that Sami and KO would win once the match was announced as night one's main event, but that didn't take the edge off it. Fans in attendance that evening will never forget seeing their heroes hoist belts above their heads, and neither will said heroes.
