This was a\u00a0WrestleMania\u00a0of two halves, the first was dominated by a selection of well booked, wrestling orientated matches with a fitting end result. The second half, which\u00a0commenced\u00a0with the long,\u00a0drawn out John Cena, Elias & Undertaker segment, which dependant on your opinion was a success or failure. From then\u00a0on,\u00a0the\u00a0WrestleMania\u00a0card fell apart, the matches and or segments\u00a0didn’t\u00a0impress and some of the results and conclusions left many with even more questions. I viewed this as an average\u00a0WrestleMania\u00a0saved by three of the first half matches, the IC Title Match, Charlotte defeating\u00a0Asuka\/The Streak and Ronda Rousey’s debut in the Mixed Tag Match. What remained couldn\u2019t even come close to how good these matches were, it was as if Triple H booked the first half and Vince booked the second half, it was\u00a0truly\u00a0the best and worst of WWE.<\/p>\n

Intercontinental Title<\/b><\/p>\n

The IC Title was contested in arguably the best wrestling match of the evening,\u00a0Miz, Balor and Rollins have proved over the last six weeks how well they can work together, and they proved it again. I was split between\u00a0Miz\u00a0retaining and Rollins being crowned champion, the action was fast and the match flowed nicely. All three men manged to fit in\u00a0their signature moves which pleased the crowd, who were very\u00a0accepting\u00a0of this match. Even though Finn has received plenty of TV time he was the least likely to win, he and fellow cohorts Gallows and Anderson have been\u00a0criminally\u00a0wasted in WWE. Seth Rollins who according to all reports has the potential to be one of the very best, should be able to build a great series of matches as IC champ, this will only further rebuild him as one of WWE’s most untapped talents.<\/p>\n

SDLive<\/b>\u00a0Womens’ Title<\/b><\/p>\n

This was very\u00a0good;\u00a0however,\u00a0it should have been exceptional, at only just over thirteen minutes the\u00a0ultra-talented\u00a0ladies were never given enough time. Opinion will be divided on if allowing Charlotte to end\u00a0Asuka’s\u00a0undefeated streak was best for business, but when is the best time to end a streak, without it\u00a0Asuka’s\u00a0options are well and truly open. Charlotte looked every inch the superstar, from her entrance to ring work, there is no reason why she cannot main event\u00a0WrestleMania\u00a035 against Ronda Rousey.\u00a0Asuka\u00a0looked good but\u00a0ultimately,\u00a0she wasn\u2019t able to fully demonstrate what she can do, with an extra five minutes they could have had the MOTN.\u00a0The end result was shocking yet acceptable, it now opens up the possibility of\u00a0Asuka\u00a0wanting to be on the same brand as Charlotte in her attempts to defeat her.<\/p>\n

Ronda Rousey debut\/Mixed Tag Match<\/b><\/p>\n

All eyes were on this match as the former UFC women’s champion Ronda Rousey made her in ring WWE debut, reputation and respect was on the line. With Triple H & Kurt Angle in supporting roles the women took centre stage, Steph played her role beautifully as they built the hot tag for Rousey. Triple H worked his socks off as he made everything Kurt did looked brutal, then when it came down to Rousey he sold and sold again, it was terrific stuff. The audience were fully behind Ronda and she gave them what they paid for, what she did was done well and I\u00a0think\u00a0she proved to everyone how good she could be. Stephanie was great, she earned lots of respect and plaudits for her role, she played the cowardly heel to\u00a0perfection\u00a0and ending up getting what was coming to her. The result was a win for Rousey and now sets her on course to prove herself against WWE’s best women.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
