Charlotte vs Tiffany and the Triple threat were my favourite matches of the night.
Probably the best Wrestlemania match for each of the three in their careers. I’d say by a long shot for Roman with last year’s being a distant second. One of the very best Wrestlemania matches that didn’t involve any sort of a title. I can’t even think of one that’s better right now. It was surprisingly good on storytelling the way Angle & Rousey vs Triple H and Stephanie was. And all three of them were showing off better athleticism than they’d shown in years, for CM Punk, maybe more than he has in over a decade. And the storytelling was more than just the match plot, but the external elements dealing with Paul Heyman, it was very much a Wrestlemania 17 feeling moment which itself was just a good draft of the Wrestlemania 2000 main event featuring more evenly supported characters - Wrestlemania 2000, no one cared whether anyone other than The Rock won, and The Rock didn’t win. What they failed to realize that year was Triple H wasn’t the champ, he was the obstacle between the true champ and his belt - but, in the end, I think the delay of that massive victory to Backlash made that PPV feel more special than it had ever felt, and it’s would be interesting to see it as a proper sequel to Wrestlemania again.
For Charlotte, Charlotte vs Asuka still tops her list. And for Tiffany, this is just the beginning. But again, this match had some great storytelling in it compared to the other matches on the card. Also, both competitors are quite athletic, although Charlotte’s not using all her moves anymore. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing - Randy Orton is a great example of a wrestler who slowed down his style substantially, and is putting on significantly more exciting matches now than he did 10 years ago. |
O_o... Dude. Tiffany Stratton vs Charlotte was not even in the same league as Charlotte vs Rhea. Either time, but especially the second time. Literally one of the best matches in Mania history. Loved the main event, but I think there are quite a few better mania matches that didn't involve a title. Flair/Michaels, Michaels/Angle, Hart/Austin, Hart/Hart, HHH/Taker, Michaels/Taker. |
