Edge Roman Reigns Daniel Bryan

Result: Ripley puts Asuka away with the Riptide to win the strap (13:30).

Rating: Expectations were incredibly high for this, and it sadly fell a little short. There were several sloppy moments in the early going where Rhea and Asuka failed to connect, but overall it was an extremely hard-hitting and competitive contest.

Asuka deserves commendation for working hard to elevate Ripley here, so it's a shame that the match failed to build a head of steam in the final stretch, and had such a flat, outta nowhere ending.

This was undeniably a great win for Ripley and it was neat to see her get her WrestleMania moment, but the match was lacking that special something these two should be capable of delivering on the biggest stage of all. 6/10
