Wrestlemania results: Undertaker retires after losing to Roman Reigns

Wrestlemania, WWE’s biggest pay-per-view event of the year, takes place today in Orlando, Fla. We will have all the results as they happen here. The pre-show matches begin at 2 p.m. PT, with the main show beginning at 4 p.m. PT. The matches:

Neville (champion) d. Austin Aries to retain the cruiserweight championship

Mojo Rawley wins the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal

Rob Gronkowski was shown in a front-row seat before the match and they mentioned he was good friends with Mojo Rawley. Very interesting booking. Everyone expected either Big Show or Braun Strowman to win, so they were eliminated early when everyone else in the ring ganged up on them and dumped them over the top. Guys like Simon Gotch, Kalist, Curtis Axel, Fandango were eliminated early too. The final five were Mojo Rawley, Sami Zayn, Jinder Mahal, Killian Dain and Titus O’Neil. Zayn eliminated O’Neil, Dain eliminated Zayn. The crowd did not like that. Mahal went to ringside and got into an argument with Gronkowski, throwing a drink in his face. Mahal went back into the ring and an irate Gronkowski jumped the railing. A poor member of security, not knowing it was part of the show, ran over and grabbed Gronkowski and told him to stop. Suddenly, three WWE officials arrived and pulled her away. Gronkowski got into the ring and tackled Mahal. Rawley told Gronkowski that he could handle it, so they bumped fists and Gronkowski went back to his seat. Rawley eliminated Mahal and Dain to win. Fun match.

On a local Orlando TV station, Amanda Ober of WESH said before the match, “Andre the Giant is in a battle royal with about 30 WWE superstars. We’ll let you know how Andre is doing up there. It doesn’t sound good.”

Amanda, if Andre was in the battle royal, you’d have quite the story, considering he has been dead for over 20 years. That was sort of embarrassing.

Dean Ambrose (champion) d. Baron Corbin to retain the Intercontinental Championship

Corbin took most of the match, working on Ambrose’s damaged ribs. He tried to hit his End of Days finisher, but Ambrose countered into the Dirty Deeds and got the pin. A somewhat disappointing match.

A.J. Styles d. Shane McMahon

The crowd is solidly behind Styles, who is supposed to be the heel. Styles outwrestled Shane to start, before Shane surprised him with pinning combination that Styles kicked out of. The early story of the match was the overconfidence of Styles.

Bayley (champion) d. Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Nia Jax in an elimination match to retain the WWE Raw Women’s championship

Bayley backflipped Charlotte off the top rope, then hit the Randy Savage elbow from the top rope and pinned Charlotte. They seemed to rush through this match, but it was good. They should have given them more time.

The Hardy Boyz d. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson (champions), Enzo Amore and Big Cass, and Sheamus and Cesaro to win the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship

The New Day came out and said the match was going to be a Fatal Fourway. After teasing that they would enter the match themselves, The Hardy Boys’ music hit and the roof came off the place. OK, there is no roof on the stadium, but if there had been, it would have come off. The whole crowd went crazy and started chanting “Delete, Delete.” The Hardy Boys’ dominated the first part of the match, hitting Poetry in Motion before things started to settle down. The finish was amazing. Two ladders were bridged from ringside to the ring. Anderson and Matt Hardy climbed a ladder in the ring, and Hardy hit Anderson with a Twist of Fate off the top of the ladder. Meanwhile, with Sheamus and Cesaro draped across the two ladders at ring side, Jeff Hardy climbed to the top of another ladder and hit a Swanton Bomb off the top, through Cesaro, Sheamus and the two ladders. Meanwhile, Matt Hardy climbed the ladder in the ring to grab the tag team titles.

The men were booing, the women and children were thrilled.

Randy Orton d. Bray Wyatt (champion) for the WWE championship

A cool moment in the match came when Wyatt knocked Orton down in the middle of the ring. The lights dimmed, and an overhead shot made it look like maggots were in the ring, feasting on Orton. Very cool effect. He did it again a few minutes later and it looked like earthworms. The ref jumped out of the ring each time, selling the effect nicely. Wyatt went for the crab walk and it looked like cockroaches were in the ring. Orton then hit an RKO out of nowhere and pinned Wyatt.

There were grown men crying in the stands, and apparently someone was chopping onions at my house, because my eyes were watering. As were Undertaker’s. He reached the midway point of the ramp, and a special left lowered him below the ramp as he had one fist raised in the air. The crowd was chanting “Thank You, Taker” as the show went off the air.
