The Undertaker Triple H

Can a two-match show be regarded as one of the better WrestleManias?

When your two big matches are Triple H/Undertaker in Hell in a Cell and Rock/John Cena, then yeah, you can put WrestleMania 28 on a pedestal.

Rock returned to face Cena in his first Mania match in eight years and looked like he hadn’t missed a step. That alone was praiseworthy. But then you throw in a Taker/HHH rematch that blew away the previous year’s bout – plus special referee Shawn Michaels – and you have an outstanding PPV already.

Chris Jericho and CM Punk had a pretty good WWE Championship match as well. And love it or hate it, Daniel Bryan’s elevation to the stratosphere indirectly started here with his 18-second loss to Sheamus in the opening bout, which weirdly led to fans rallying around him even more. Two years later, he was main-eventing WrestleMania 30.

Wrestling is strange.
