WWE WRESTLEMANIA 39 - SATURDAY
Austin Theory vs. John Cena
Awesome seeing Cena, but this wasn't much of anything. Theory dominates most of the match & is extremely generic with it. Cena hits the hits in his comeback bits. Super basic & super forgettable. *3/4
Alpha Academy vs. Braun Strowman & Ricochet vs. The Street Profits vs. The Viking Raiders
Mindless fun for 8-something minutes. Full on action packed with everybody in the match getting their moments. ***
Logan Paul vs. Seth Rollins
This was good. Logan continues to put in good performances at big stages. Nicely focused on big moments & those big moments were really cool, so it was a really nice WrestleMania-like big feature singles match. ***
Becky Lynch, Lita & Trish Stratus vs. Damage CTRL
Surprisingly lengthy, and that's not a positive. There was no heat whatsoever to the thing, but you're bound to have at least 1 of these matches at Mania, so it is what it is. A bunch of nothing. *1/4
Dominik Mysterio vs. Rey Mysterio
I was entertained thoroughly by this. The entrances were incredible, and while the match could've been more, it was still really good & took care of business in delivering a satisfying conclusion to this super fun storyline between Rey & Dom. ***
Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley
Hmm, I can definitely see why many people liked this, but I thought it was a very hollow & "paint-by-the-numbers" feeling epic. Generic big match sequences, nearfalls, cringey facial expressions, you name it galore. Definitely not bad, as it didn't overstay its welcome (which is something most matches of this kind do), but it certainly wasn't for me. *3/4
Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs. The Usos
This ended up being a super satisfying conclusion to the Zayn vs. Bloodline saga. The match started hitting some pretty sweet high notes during/after the Superkick Party on Zayn & it never let up from that moment on. Seeing & hearing Zayn's theme end a WrestleMania is just amazing in all ways possible. ****
