WWE WrestleMania 34: 10 Most Insane Things That Happened!
1. Roman Reigns DOESN'T Win The Universal Title
That main event was bloody strange.
Roman Reigns entered a fantastic babyface performance. His selling was authentic, his brief flurries of offence genuinely jaw-dropping. The fans popped big time for the incredible elevated Spear spot that saw Lesnar driven over the announce desk and collapsed over a chair, but, as became apparent, they were predisposed to the defiant non-reaction and were unflinching in their protest, irrespective of what Reigns did. That was the problem: a crowd more concerned with popping each other than beach balls did not receive what was a gripping war of a match with the respect it deserved.
And the irony is that Vince McMahon is apparently stubborn.
It can't have been that good, if nobody responded. That is a fundamental tenet of wrestling psychology. But the New Orleans didn't even respond when, and this is the batsh*t part, he lost to Brock Lesnar, again, in the main event of WrestleMania. In one last dual attempt to put over Roman's sympathy and fortitude, Lesnar drilled into his head, mining hardway blood, again, even though it concussed Randy Orton two years ago. The challenger then withstood five F5s before succumbing to the sixth (!). It didn't work, and didn't matter. This was a heel versus heel match won in gruesome fashion by the lesser of two evils, the logic apparent only to Vince McMahon. Who apparently is blindly devoted to Roman. Insane is the only word.
The Big Dog bled like a stuck pig, and didn't win the prize, three years after an intense and all-pervasive period of rehabilitation.
