ORLANDO, Fla. -- In his 25th appearance at the biggest night in professional wrestling, The Undertaker exited the ring for what appears to be the final time at WrestleMania.
After losing to Roman Reigns in the main event, capping a WrestleMania 33 card that lasted more than seven hours at Camping World Stadium, The Undertaker left his iconic black hat, coat and gloves in the center of the ring. At 52, “The Deadman” waved goodbye to the crowd before disappearing through an opening in the floor of the ramp that descended from the stage.
The 13-match WrestleMania card was an exciting one, featuring five title changes and a violent five-minute match between Brock Lesnar and Goldberg that saw “The Beast” regain the WWE universal championship. In the end, Reigns left on top after wrestling in the final match for the third straight year.
The night’s best match may have come in the main show opener, when AJ Styles defeated SmackDown Live commissioner Shane McMahon, in a match which featured big spots and competitive wrestling. The biggest disappointment came in a 10-minute WWE championship match which saw Randy Orton defeat Bray Wyatt to become a 13-time world champion.
WWE WrestleMania 33 results
Cruiserweight Championship (Kickoff Show) -- Neville (c) def. Austin Aries via pinfall: Being relegated to the kickoff show didn’t stop Neville and Austin Aries from putting on an exciting match. After a scientific start, the big spots that the cruiserweight division is known for quickly arrived. Aries held his own with Neville from an aerial perspective, overcoming being dropped on his head during a snap German suplex to score near falls following a missile suicide dive and a 450 splash (which followed a hurricanrana from the top rope). Late in the match, Neville broke up a submission attempt by poking Aries in the same eye that he recently recovered from a broken socket. He then landed a picture perfect Red Arrow from the top rope to get the pin.
Mojo Rawley wins Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal (Kickoff Show): It took an assist from his good friend, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, but Rawley scored the biggest victory of his WWE career. Rawley, himself a former NFL player, got pulled out of the ring and attacked late in the battle royal by Jinder Mahal. Gronkowski, who was sitting in the front row, had his drink taken by Mahal, who then took a taste and threw the cup at the NFL star. Gronkowski jumped the barrier and entered the ring, hitting Mahal with a shoulder tackle as the crowd erupted. Rawley went on to eliminate Mahal. The match began with big men Big Show and Braun Strowman cleaning house. After a staredown between the two, Strowman tossed Big Show before being eliminated himself by a group of wrestlers. Dolph Ziggler and Sami Zayn also had hot runs before being eliminated late.
Intercontinental Championship (Kickoff Show) -- Dean Ambrose (c) def. Baron Corbin via pinfall to retain the title: In a nod to just how far the importance of the Intercontinental title has waned in recent memory, Ambrose defended his championship during the final match on the kickoff show. WWE waited until minutes before the match to announce. Corbin dominated the early stretch with physicality and a methodical beatdown. Ambrose had his moments in rallying back but could never acquire the upper hand. But as Corbin went to attempt his finishing move, the End of Days, Ambrose flipped out of it. He instantly landed his Dirty Deeds finisher to set up the pin. This hasn’t been the greatest build in recent months and the match was played out similarly average.
AJ Styles def. Shane McMahon via pinfall: It has long been said since his WWE debut in in January 2016 that Styles is capable of making a four-star match with just about anybody. At 47, McMahon isn’t just anybody, and his incredible performance in the opening match of the main card (a surprise placement, no less) helped produce a leading candidate for match of the year.
