7. WrestleMania 34

It has many nicknames: the granddaddy of them all, the showcase of the immortals, but since 1985, WrestleMania has lived up to those lofty nicknames.  The 2018 version of WrestleMania was a loaded card with countless standout matches, so it had a lot of expectations to reach.

The main card kicked off with probably the match of the night that saw Seth Rollins win the Intercontinental Championship in a tremendous Triple Threat Match alongside Finn Balor and The Miz.  One of the greatest women’s matches in WrestleMania history followed when Charlotte Flair successfully retained her SmackDown Women’s Championship and ended the two-plus year undefeated streak of Asuka.  And who could forget Ronda Rousey’s WWE in-ring debut?

Rousey greatly impressed alongside Kurt Angle and the duo defeated Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.  The Undertaker’s return was done wonderfully, even if his win over John Cena was a squash match.  Daniel Bryan’s first match in nearly three years also came at this event when he and Shane McMahon defeated Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.  Nia Jax’s Raw Women’s Championship win over Alexa Bliss was probably the best feel-good moment of the night.

However, not everything went well at WrestleMania 34.  The SmackDown Tag Team Championship match was rushed, the United States Championship match was more of the same, Braun Strowman’s Raw Tag Team Championship win alongside a 10-year-old was viewed poorly by the WWE universe, and despite a ton of hype, AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura never quite reached the level it could have despite Nakamura’s memorable heel turn afterward.

Oh, and the Universal Championship main event was one of the worst in WrestleMania history.  But outside of a few poor moments, WrestleMania 34 was a very good overall show.
