Best Match: Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar Worst Match: AJ Lee & Paige vs. The Bella Twins Chalk it up to the overwhelming spectacle of the event, but thered be something wrong if WrestleMania didnt top this list every year. The Superbowl of wrestling absolutely should be the event that is not only the most anticipated but also the one that delivers on the largest scale, and this year WWE succeeded in making that happen. While the hype and expectations were fairly low going in, the 31st edition of the sports entertainment extravaganza managed to surprise us all. Anchored by a main event that was far better than it had any right to be, the show put Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns in the ring together and let them legitimately beat the hell out of each other for our enjoyment. The match did a lot to rehabilitate Reigns though they squandered it again soon after and was easily a match of the year candidate. But unlike many PPVs on this list, Mania was not a one match show. The Intercontinental championship ladder match was excellent as well, with Daniel Bryan triumphing over six other men in a brutal affair featuring some unique and genuinely hard to watch spots. Randy Orton and Seth Rollins also turned in a very good match, culminating with one of the most stunning finishes weve seen this year when Orton hut the RKO while Seth was in mid-curb stomp. In year full of unspectacular middle-of-the-road shows that were easily missable, WrestleMania 31 stood out as the must-see event of the year Do you agree with these rankings? If not, give yours in the comments.
