11 Best WrestleMania Endings

1. Cashing In On Potential

There has never been a more energetic, unexpected and exciting conclusion to a WrestleMania than the shocking finish WWE produced in 2015 in Santa Clara, California.

Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar were in the middle of a heavyweight battle that saw The Beast Incarnate toss the juggernaut around the squared circle for 15 minutes before Seth Rollins' music played and the man known to fans as The Architect hit the ring, his Money in the Bank briefcase in tow. With both Superstars down, he handed over his guaranteed championship opportunity, opting to enter the main event for the WWE title in the middle of the match.

Moments later, he escaped the grasp of Lesnar as Reigns caught the champion with a spear. A Curb Stomp to his former Shield brethren and, three seconds later, Rollins was the WWE world heavyweight champion. The fans inside Levi's Stadium exploded, overjoyed with the shocking and unpredictable outcome they had just witnessed.

For a show that was criticized heavily for its build and the general lack of excitement surrounding it, WrestleMania 31 proved just how valuable an extraordinary ending can be.
