Big Show - Andre
the Giant Memorial Battle Royal Winner
Earlier this week, you could have bet on the Big Show +1900
to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Even on the day of
Wrestlemania 31, you could have still bet on the Big Show +500. Sheamus was the
odds on favorite to win the Battle Royal on the day of Wrestlemania. However,
he was shockingly not in the Battle Royal, nor was he on the card at all. He
has been advertised for a couple weeks now and still hasn’t appeared, which
tells me that the writers either have something time sensitive brewing or just
don’t know how they want to utilize his character. The final 3 Battle Royal
participants were Mizdow, the Miz, and the Big Show. I thought it would have
been hilarious if Mizdow and the Miz started fighting each other and both
eliminated each other while the Big Show just sat in the corner and watched. However,
I am still glad Mizdow eliminated the Miz and that storyline should be good in
the coming weeks. As for the Big Show winning, who cares? He is now just a pawn
that the organization will use for any role they deem necessary.
Triple H defeated
Sting
I really don’t understand why Sting took so long to sign
with the WWE and allow himself to lose at the biggest event. This tells me that
Sting may be having financial problems and joined the WWE for the money. I
can’t fathom any other reason why he would agree to lose. I understand the DX
VS. NWO angle but it really didn’t make much sense because X-Pac was in the NWO
and everyone but Hogan is a very close friend with Triple H. It did get a good
pop from the audience, but it didn’t make sense relationship-wise. Sting being
defeated deflates his purpose in the WWE and I really think it was Triple H’s
decision to have Sting lose than Vince McMahon’s. If Sting would have won, they
would have had more storyline’s to work with and now they have limited
themselves with their options.

John Cena (New United
States Champion) defeated Rusev
No surprise that Cena won, you could see it happening with
the beating Ruzev delivered to Cena in the weeks beforehand. I have no issue
with Rusev losing the title, but I don’t see much sense in having Cena having
the title. I just hope they keep pushing Rusev and maybe have him defeat Daniel
Bryan for the Intercontinental title at Summerslam. As for Cena, he should work
another promo with Bray Wyatt and lose the belt to Wyatt (the greatest talent
in the WWE to never hold a title).
Daniel Bryan - Intercontinental
Title Ladder Match Winner
This was another easy match to predict. I detailed my
thoughts on why Bryan would and should win the IC title in my Wrestlemania 31
Predictions & Betting Odds. As stated earlier, Bryan should work with
Rusev. Dean Ambrose has been doing very well, but I think they should have him
in non-title matches against non-champions right now to keep building him to
see how he progresses. Maybe have him and Ziggler work an angle with Ziggler
turning heel or throwing Sheamus against one of them.
The Undertaker defeated Bray Wyatt
There were many reports that Wyatt had injured his ankle
earlier in the day rehearsing for the match with Taker and that the match would
be shorter than expected. It didn’t seem like the match was short, but there
were a lot of moments where both guys laid on the mat. I’m glad Taker redeemed
himself after suffering his first Wrestlemania defeat last year, but to be
totally honest, I hope that was the last match for him. He was out of shape and
gassed way too fast. There is nothing more to prove or gain for Taker, he can
only lose at this point like what happened last year. I wouldn’t have been mad
if Wyatt had defeated Taker as it would have been a passing of the torch for
the new “scary” immortal superstar. I love the Wyatt character and I hope he
doesn’t get underutilized and he certainly deserves his first piece of gold in
2015.
Seth Rollins cashed
in his MITB briefcase to defeat Brock Lesnar & Roman Reigns
I absolutely loved the ending to this match! There was
speculation that Rollins would cash in his MITB briefcase, but the odds were
about even on the day of Mania. Lesnar dominated Reigns and Reigns kept
fighting back. Lesnar suffered a few cuts and was dripping blood from his
forehead after Reigns threw him into the steel post outside the ring. After
Reigns had suffered multiple suplexes and 3 F5’s and Lesnar had been Superman
punched a couple times and speared, Rollins music hits and he raced to the ring
to cash in. He curb-stomped Lesnar and Reigns and pinned Reigns to win the WWE
World Heavyweight Championship. This was one of the top 5 endings to a
Wrestlemania main event of all time. This was brilliant to have Rollins pin
Reigns instead of Lesnar to win the title. My assumption is that we will see a
three-way match between these 3 at Extreme Rules and I hope Rollins holds the
title for a good while. Although Lesnar did resign with the WWE, he is still
under a limited appearance contract so I hope they leave him without a belt.
Overall Thoughts
The best match was the Fatal 4 Way for the Tag Team
Championship. The ending was great but for the most part, it was disappointing.
The Rock and Triple H angle was atrocious and it looked like they were just
trying to kill time. The Rock didn’t say many one-liners and it there were too
many moments of silence. That part could have been nixed, even though it will
setup something in the future with Rousey throwing Triple H and getting into it
with Stephanie. I personally don’t care to see the Rock and Rousey vs. Triple H
and Stephanie, I’d much rather see the Rock vs. Brock Lesnar. Most of the card
didn’t have that Mania feel and I would give it a 4 out of 10. As always, the
Monday Night Raw following Wrestlemania should be full of surprises and we will
see where the storylines are headed.
