This is the sixth WrestleMania in my Universe. It's an interesting card to say the least.
Match 1. Christian vs. Damien Sandow WWE Intercontinental Championship
This was a great opening match. Sandow was more physical than previous matches. He locked Christian in a headlock and landed a neck breaker. Christian connected with the Killswitch, but Sandow kicked out. Christian continued with a flapjack and reverse DDT. He connected with a frog splash and won.
Match 2. The Shield vs. The Real Americans WWE Tag Team Championship
Swagger tossed Rollins into the corner and landed the Swagger Bomb. The Shield hit Swagger with Poetry in Motion. On the outside, Swagger hit the gutwrench powerbomb on Reigns. Swagger took this match by himself. He blocked a Reigns punch and hit a second gutwrench to win back the tag titles.
Match 3. Ziggler, Bryan and Jericho vs. Ryback, Lesnar and Langston
Jericho and Bryan hit Langston with a double suplex. All six men then battled on the outside. Lesnar hit Bryan with a German suplex and Langston hit him with a huge shoulder tackle. Bryan somehow made it to his feet and locked in the Yes Lock. Bryan elbow dropped Lesnar through the announce table. Bryan then locked him in the Yes Lock. He landed a flying clothesline and won.
Match 4. Kofi Kingston vs. Fandango WWE United States Championship
Kofi landed a hip toss and a jaw breaker on Fandango. He caught him in a crucifix pin, but got a one count. Fandango landed a knee to the back and an elbow drop. Kofi sprung up and landed the SOS and won.
Match 5. Hell in a Cell - Undertaker vs. Mark Henry
Can Mark Henry end the streak? Henry caught Taker with a fall away slam early. He then hit the World's Strongest Slam, but Taker sat up. Taker took the match to the outside. He tossed Henry into the steps and then slammed him against the cell. Henry came back with a second World's Strongest Slam and won. He ended the streak.
Match 6. Big Show vs. Randy Orton World Heavyweight Championship
Show landed some rights and lefts. Orton came back with a Lou Thesz Press. A couple of minutes later, Orton hit the RKO, but got a two count. Show caught Orton with the Showstopper. It looked like he was going to retain, but Orton kicked out. Orton hit a second RKO and won the world title.
Main Event. CM Punk vs. John Cena WWE Championship
Cena took Punk down with a couple of hip tosses. He took him down again with a drop toe hold and another hip toss. Punk landed a tiger suplex and a kick to the back of the head. Punk then connected with the GTS. Cena kicked out, but Punk was ready. He busted Cena open with a heel kick. Punk retained the title by making Cena tap from the Anaconda Vice.
Recap: Not the best WrestleMania. Most of the matches were short. I'm surprised Henry won.
