Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose def. Baron Corbin



ORLANDO, Fla. — Since the WWE Brand Extension Draft last summer, Baron Corbin has more than lived up to his Lone Wolf nickname, meticulously stalking his prey and ascending the ranks on SmackDown LIVE.

However, the hunter will have to wait a bit longer before he becomes the hunted, as Dean Ambrose was just one step ahead of him during the WrestleMania Kickoff.

The path Corbin and Ambrose took to get here was anything but magical, and their bout reflected that same ruggedness.

The Lone Wolf and The Lunatic Fringe threw down in front of 75,000-plus fans inside the Orlando Citrus Bowl, duking it out in a contest that made this portion of The Ultimate Thrill Ride resemble a chaotic freefall on Disney Hollywood Studios’ “Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.”

Evading several major attacks from Corbin, Ambrose managed to connect with his signature elbow off the top turnbuckle and onto The Lone Wolf on the outside.

Unbelievably, Corbin not only withstood that onslaught, but he then unloaded with a relentless barrage of powerful strikes.

Corbin seemed to have The Lunatic Fringe on the ropes, but no one can ever count out Dean Ambrose, who countered The Lone Wolf and connected with Dirty Deeds for the win.

Baron Corbin’s moment in the sun will come.
However, Dean Ambrose made sure it wasn’t tonight in Orlando.

Seth Rollins def. Triple H (Non-Sanctioned Match)



ORLANDO, Fla. — The King has been slain, and “The Man” is free once again.

Seth Freakin’ Rollins redesigned his outlook and rebuilt his pride at WrestleMania, defeating his former mentor Triple H in a Non-Sanctioned Match that finally allowed The Architect to free himself of The Game’s influence once and for all.

Rollins’ mission was clear from the start.
After The King of Kings entered on a chopper — with Stephanie McMahon on the back and a full police escort — Rollins carried a torch to the ring, symbolic of his oft-stated promise to burn his opponent to the ground.

From there, he immediately made good on the leeway The Game’s Hold Harmless Agreement afforded him, driving Triple H out of the ring and over the barricade.

Triple H responded in kind, taking advantage of a step-slower-than-usual Rollins to DDT him on top of a commentary table before smashing a steel chair into his injured right knee.

Rollins successfully grinded his way to a running buckle bomb that took all the wind out of The Game’s sails and led to a strong offensive run.

However, the question still lingered as to whether Rollins would irreparably damage his own knee in his efforts to defeat The King of Kings.

Rollins managed to keep The Game at bay when tables and chairs came into the equation, but it was the interference of Stephanie McMahon that almost doomed The Architect — twice.

Stephanie first tripped Rollins off the turnbuckle and allowed The Game to trap him in a pair of reverse Figure-Four Leglocks.

Later, she wrenched Triple H’s sledgehammer out of Rollins’ hands, leading The Architect into a Pedigree that nearly sealed his fate.

At this point, The Game began to show as much wear and tear as his foe.
A thwarted second-rope Pedigree left Triple H incapacitated long enough for Rollins to hit a Phoenix Splash that, again, nearly left him unable to walk despite the damage it inflicted.

The match quickly devolved from there into a Pedigree-off, with Triple H going low to escape the maneuver.

Once again, Stephanie interfered by holding Rollins on the apron.
This time, though, The Architect was ready.

He dodged Triple H’s cheap shot, superkicked him into Stephanie, who crashed through a table, and finally executed the Pedigree that slayed The King of Kings and cemented his emancipation.

Now that Seth Rollins finds himself walking his own path, truly, for the first time in his career, all that’s left to do is rebuild himself in whatever image he sees fit.

What will his first move be?

Roman Reigns def. The Undertaker



ORLANDO, Fla. – In front of 75,245 members of the WWE Universe inside the Orlando Citrus Bowl, Roman Reigns conquered a WrestleMania institution, overcoming The Undertaker in a No Holds Barred Match at The Ultimate Thrill Ride to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that WWE is his yard now.

To step into the ring against The Phenom on The Grandest Stage of Them All is truly a daunting task all its own.

The Undertaker entered the match with an unparalleled 23-1 record at The Showcase of The Immortals.

However, no matter how many had fallen before The Demon of Death Valley, The Big Dog refused to be dissuaded from the hunt.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross returned to call the main event of WrestleMania, and what a main event it turned out to be.

A No Holds Barred Match would demand a clear winner, where there would be no count-out or disqualification, and only a pinfall or submission would bring the contest to a close.

The showdown began with The Undertaker and Reigns engaging in an all-out slugfest both inside and outside the ring.

Yet as time raged on, the action turned brutal when The Phenom chokeslammed Reigns onto the announce table.

But as The Deadman signaled to the capacity crowd a quick end to the contest, Reigns unexpectedly countered with an epic Spear through the Spanish announce table.

Back inside the ring, Reigns took charge until The Undertaker answered with an Earth-shattering Last Ride.

The Demon of Death Valley followed with a brutal chair assault on his prey, but Reigns roared back with a Superman Punch.

The Big Dog’s valiant attack was then squashed by Undertaker’s sudden chokeslam onto an unforgiving steel chair, and it looked as if The Phenom might once again end things with his signature Tombstone Piledriver.

Yet, unbelievably, Reigns somehow managed to kick out of The Deadman’s grip once more.

Reigns next executed a Superman Punch – one of many throughout the match – and followed up with a devastating Spear.

Though clearly staggered, The Deadman countered with Hell’s Gate, and might have claimed his 24th WrestleMania victory had Reigns not been so close to the ropes.

Not to be outdone, Reigns rallied with a brutal chair assault of his own, followed with not one, but two Spears and another Superman Punch.

As he had done at so many WrestleManias before, The Undertaker rose once more, this time in the face of Reign’s onslaught.

But this time, he would fall back to the ground, signaling that his battered body was giving out.
Reigns recognized that even though the match was over, it was still not finished because The Undertaker refused to stay down.

The Big Dog had to make a choice, and he did precisely that, delivering the fatal Spear that would put his legendary opponent to rest once and for all.

In the wake of the awesome struggle, the defeated Undertaker rose with dignity, leaving his hat, jacket and gloves in the center of the ring before slowly walking up the ramp.

The Phenom then descended down into the ramp floor, the same way he ascended prior to the match, and the WWE Universe would feel a sense of finality as WrestleMania 33 drew to a close.

Though The Undertaker’s greatness will always be synonymous with The Showcase of The Immortals, Roman Reign’s epic victory has established him as “The Guy” like never before.
