The Greatest Match From Every WWE WrestleMania

2. WrestleMania 34: Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey Vs Triple H & Stephanie McMahon

If no one has taken to the wild world of pro wrestling faster than Kurt Angle, then Ronda Rousey gives him a run for his money. The Olympic champ and the former UFC star team up against the husband and wife duo for a daft but extremely fun bout.

The New Orleans crowd is insanely hot for Ronda Rousey; more specifically, they want to see her inflict extreme violence on Stephanie McMahon, their chants alternating between “break her arm” and the simple but effective “kill! Kill!” Rousey is charmingly awed by the spectacle at first, but her smiley visage quickly gives way to warrior mode - she manhandles HHH to a huge response.

Stephanie - in her WrestleMania in-ring debut - is just as good, putting on a heelish masterclass as she gets a few cowardly jabs in on Rousey, dodging retribution as the audience’s lust for revenge grows with Rousey’s.

The two big lads get their usual offence in, but this match belongs to the women. Rousey would be headlining the following year’s ‘Mania in a groundbreaking moment for women’s wrestling.
