Result: Lesnar murders Goldberg with an F-5 to win the title (4:45).

Rating: Everyone knew what this would be going in, and it didn't disappoint or surprise to that end. It wasted little of its short run-time, while Goldberg and Brock pulled off move spam for a few minutes, and Lesnar finally had his credibility restored with a decisive, much-needed victory.

Lesnar's Leapfrog over the Spear was great, but aside from the satisfying result and intense atmosphere, this lacked the "wow" factor audiences crave from a title match at WrestleMania. Combined with the senseless Orton victory, both of the show's main title matches felt like also-rans, even if the appeal of a sheer brawl made this one basically work. 6/10
