WWE WrestleMania 35: Thoughts and Results
This was the best WrestleMania in a long time. It was too long, absolutley but WWE did their best to get everything in line and give almost everything the right touch to make it a success. After a truly awful, dare i say, horrible build to this show, the show itself delivered. Congratulations if you survived all these hours, you witnessed a good wrestling show.
CatchChat is going to take a short break after this. See you soon.

Match | Matchrating | Positioning | Result | Comment | |||||||||||||||||||
1 | Tony Nese def. Buddy Murphy© for the WWE Cruiserweight Title | Great | Bad | Great | This great rivalry should have made it to the Main Show, the two gave it their all and it was a great exchange before Nese finally captured the title. | ||||||||||||||||||
2 | Carmella won the Women‘s Battle Royal | Bad | Great | Bad | It is her hometown ok, but it was the same finish at last year and the match had zero great spots. | ||||||||||||||||||
3 | Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins def. The Revival© for the WWE RAW Tag Team Titles | Great | Bad | Great | The 11 year long journey, the end of the streak. The greatest victory in Curt Hawkins career. This match should have been on the Maincard just for it‘s epicness. What a wonderful thing. Hawkins at last. | ||||||||||||||||||
4 | Braun Strowman won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal | Bad | Great | Ok | Expected victory from a match pretty boring. Luke Harper was there. | ||||||||||||||||||
5 | Seth Rollins def. Brock Lesnar© for the WWE Universal Title | Ok | Great | Great | Epic pic to open this show, weird match but with the right result. The fast pacing was well picked. | ||||||||||||||||||
6 | AJ Styles def. Randy Orton | Great | Great | Great | A very great match, glad this match went on early so the two got the appreciation by the crowd. | ||||||||||||||||||
7 | The Usos© def. Rusev & Nakamura, The Bar and Ricochet & Aleister Black for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Titles | Great | Great | Great | Best match of the night. All teams gave it their all. The Usos showed once more how great they are. More of this and the Tag Division would be on a great path. | ||||||||||||||||||
8 | Shane McMahon def. The Miz in a Falls Count Anywhere Match | Great | Great | Bad | This was an unexpected golden piece. Funny or breath-taking spot all around. Miz Dad even got involved. When Shane ‚accidently‘ won after a phenomenal spot it felt like a bummer to a flawless match. | ||||||||||||||||||
9 | The Iiconics def. Divas of Doom w/Bret Hart, Jax & Tamina and Sasha Banks & Bayley© for the WWE Women‘s Tag Team Titles | Ok | Great | Ok | I am not fan ot the Iiconics since their call-up. Their victory caught me be surprise, the match itself suffered from Tamina and Jax not being able to hold their own against the rest of the teams. | ||||||||||||||||||
10 | Kofi Kingston© def. Daniel Bryan© for the WWE Title | Great | Great | Great | The best singles match of the night, the best victory of the night. A true feel good moment. Kofi finally did it. This is what wrestling is. Just the best thing ever. | ||||||||||||||||||
11 | Samoa Joe© def. Rey Mysterio for the WWE United States Title | Bad | Ok | Great | A squash match, felt welcomed after so much wrestling, but Joe and Rey deserve better. | ||||||||||||||||||
12 | Roman Reigns def. Drew McIntyre | Great | Bad | Great | This match suffered from it‘s position. Both gave it everything to get the crowd back to life, it was a great match but we all were tired or exhausted at this point. | ||||||||||||||||||
13 | Triple H def. Batista in a No Holds Barred Match | Ok | Bad | Great | Same as the McIntyre/Reigns match. Probably Batista‘s final match ever. Probably also a little bit too long. | ||||||||||||||||||
14 | Baron Corbin def. Kurt Angle in the final match of Angle‘s career | Bad | Ok | Bad | What a shame to end Angle‘s career on. Gonna miss you Kurt. | ||||||||||||||||||
15 | Finn Balor def. Bobby Lashley© for the WWE Intercontinental Title | Ok | Great | Great | The Demon arrived and had to work a dead crowd, the match was paced pretty well and i liked it. Best match of Bobby Lashley since his comeback. Got us back in the mood. | ||||||||||||||||||
16 | Becky Lynch def. Charlotte Flair© & Ronda Rousey© for the RAW and SmackDown Women‘s Titles | Great | Great | Great | The main event. Women doing it for the first time in history. It was a great match and Becky Lynch is finally our champion. I am very happy WWE made the right choice here. | ||||||||||||||||||
