WrestleMania 31: Results and Match Reviews
As noted in our WrestleMania 31 preview, the build to this year's big event was lackluster at best. Stories weren't told well, heat and interest for most of the matches was poor, and the main event between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns had a potential to turn into an ugly disaster.
Yet WrestleMania 31 delivered for the most part, and had some surprisingly entertaining segments and guest appearances. The finish to the main event was a great swerve as well, and something that wrestling fans will be talking about for a while.
(The less said about the Kid Ink, Skylar Grey, and Travis Barker performance the better, though. I feel bad for them performing for an apathetic crowd of 76,976* that just wanted to watch some hypermasculine theater and stage combat.)
Let's go through WrestleMania 31 match-by-match and give the full card a rundown.
*That's the WWE's attendance count, so it's probably inflated by at least 6,000
WrestleMania 31: Final Card Preview and Match Predictions
WrestleMania 31 happens this Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Unfortunately, this might be the least exciting build to a WrestleMania in a long time. The storytelling has been pretty boring, and the main event pitting WWE Champion Brock Lesnar against the company's hand-selected challenger Roman Reigns will likely underwhelm.
But it's only $10 via the WWE Network, so you'll buy it and watch it.
Yes, the showcase of the immortals is now cheaper than a six-pack of your favorite craft brew. And it sure feels like it.
This is a real shame given the amount of talent on the roster that's being squandered or underutilized. Still, there are some solid matches on the card, including the ladder match for the Intercontinental belt, the return of The Undertaker, and the WWE in-ring debut of Sting.
Here's a full rundown of the WrestleMania 31 card as well as some of my predictions on who will win.
