Bengaluru, April 8: Various Wrestlemania moments made their way into the history books as WWE presented the 35th edition in the shadows of the New York City. Returns, no-DQ matches, farewell matches and much more were in store on the stacked card that hosted 16 matches in combined. All the championships from Raw and Smackdown were on the line alongside the first-ever women’s Wrestlemania main event.
Here’s how all the drama unfolded when the 'show of shows’ emanated from the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New York, New Jersey:
Buddy Murphy (C) vs. Tony Nese (WWE Cruiserweight Championship)
This opening Wrestlemania match kicked off with Tony Nese, who attempted a superplex on Murphy who came back with Superkick and then a Powerbomb. Nese was able to hit a 450 splash for a near fall. Murphy countered by connecting an Olympic Slam but Nese planted him with a German Suplex into the turnbuckle and delivered the Running Knee to pick up the win and become new Cruiserweight Champion.
Becky locked in the dis-arm-her on Charlotte but Ronda broke up and tried to lock in the arm-bar. Flair dropped both of them with the Natural Selection. Ronda then jumped off the top rope on Flair and Lynch but did not manage to get the pinfall.
Becky left Ronda Rousey in agony by locking in the dis-arm-her through the ropes. Charlotte sent Becky out of the ring and locked in the Figure-Eight on Ronda. She put a table into the ring but Becky and Ronda worked together to send Flair through the tables.
Ronda went for Piper’s Pit again but Becky countered with a Crucifix pin to get the win! The entire arena gave the winner a standing ovation as Becky Lynch celebrated by becoming the Raw and Smackdown women’s champion to close Wrestlemania 35.
