Shocking WrestleMania Match Outcomes (#5 Lesnar Pins Reigns!)

[@TheChrisLHarris]

Vince McMahon new nickname may as well be "the shakiest gun in the west." for constantly not pulling that trigger on Reigns going back to WM31.Compound that with the leukemia diagnosis two months after Roman went over Brock and I don't ever want to see that type of main event push ever again. It was the constant indecisive booking going back to 2015 that caused the Roman debacle and bit Vince in the keister.

[@kennyking6824]

What was the point of kicking out of all those F-5s? The crowd or people at home had no reaction to it

[@sonicheroxd5767]

That match felt like a burial of the F5.

[@derek-64]

it would be nice if brock would actually attempt to use another move instead of spamming the shit out of german suplexes and f5s. we all know brock can wrestle really well but instead he does little else except spam those 2 moves throughout the entirety the match.

[@sonicheroxd5767]

@@derek-64 I think Brock hates working with big guys. He prefers working with smaller guys like Seth, Finn, AJ and Bryan, because he knows he can get a good match with them. But when it comes to guys like Strowman, Kane, Big Show, etc., Brock just doesn't give a fuck.

[@derek-64]

@@sonicheroxd5767 that's no excuse. he could at least put some damn effort in and try using other moves other than german suplexes and 5s the whole damn match. i don't give a rat's ass how much of a draw he is, i think they're wasting money on him. the sooner they get the title off of him and the sooner he leaves the better.

[@CSC52698]

The main problem with this match is that no one wanted to see this.

Should have been strowman.

[@ericsmusic5927]

@SP Doesn't matter, Strowman was red hot at that time and he should of gotten the belt. I have nothing against Roman Reigns but that was Braun Strowman's time

[@ericsmusic5927]

@SP How am I suppose to know that? They probably would of made it "No DQ" or maybe the people would be happy that someone who they actually like won the belt because you know that is what usually happens when a crowd favorite wins the big one XD

[@ThunderForce2000]

The match order at WrestleMania 34 really baffled me. The three best matches of the entire show (Miz vs. Rollins vs. Balor, Charlotte vs. Asuka and Ronda/Angle vs. HHH/Stephanie) were all in the first half of the event.

[@kaqueburlington4278]

ThunderKnight Agee 100%. Weren’t they the first 3 matches? I know the triple threat IC went first

[@ThunderForce2000]

Kaque Burlington They were three of the first 4 matches on the show.

[@g-dub5272]

I remember jumping up and down, shocked and glad Cena 2.0 lost 😄

[@RuinedCook]

I was there and I think it was funny that everybody in the dome knew Roman was Winning so my section wasn’t paying attention so when we heard the bell and saw Brock standing with the belt we all just laughed

[@Thecallmemisterajp]

Lol yes! I cracked up so hard when Roman lost.

[@sonicheroxd5767]

Looking back at it now, if I was Vince, I would've just pulled the trigger back in Santa Clara and just get it over with. Yeah I would've deprived people of what ended up happening at 31, but it's better than dragging this out for another 3 fucking years.

[@321Camera]

You forget Roman, too, was beaten with one F5 at Summerslam 2017

[@anthonyrivera2306]

I went back and saw the match and the moment I saw Roman bleeding, after we all know his remission journey, it's pretty uncomfortable to watch.

[@Monoxide1234455]

I was also there, and I don't remember anyone being happy. In fact, while people were shocked, it wasn't really of glee. Everyone that I interacted seemed more confused. It was more like, "Huh? Why did Brock win? What was the point of building that F5 for Roman to kick out multiple times, and still lose to Brock?" I've been to 8 Manias. Been to 26-34, (With the exception of 31), and that was one of the worst. Matter of fact, 32, 33, and 34 were pretty bad main events. I hope this year breaks the streak of bad Mania main events.

[@TheJude1790]

I have a feeling that Brock Lesnar Vs. The Undertaker is # 1 as the shocking Wrestlemania match outcome. # 2 Austin Vs. Rock from Wrestlemania 17; # 3 Wrestlemania 31: Brock Lesnar Vs. Roman Reigns Vs. Seth Rollins

[@pestcontrol6780]

HHH vs Booker T

[@TheJude1790]

Pest Control I doubt that made the list. Probably as a honorable mention.

[@anthonyvillanueva5226]

"BEAT THE TRAFFIC!"

[@coffeelover239]

Looking back at this match, I kind of wish Roman won. At least the belt would have been off Brock.

[@heyiamnick4144]

The only thing which got a pop was the end...the crowd was 1000% PERFECT in this match, wwe got what they deserved here...nobody wanted to see this match, nobody wanted to see roman's 8372574879838th big crowning moment...and the dead silence throughout the entire match was perfect! For over a year everyone knew what was happening, everyone was fed to Lesnar and lost after one F5 only so roman reigns of all people can kick out and slay the beast...Vince believed people would actually cheer and pop for that shit XDXDXD in the end they changed the finish because surprise surprise, doing the same shit over and over again, once again, didn't work and the people didn't cheer for roman...

[@partyonsparty1875]

This was the beginning of the end for me watching wwe

[@redfishbluefish5151]

I was so irritated the Reigns didn't win. All of that time spent on him; just pull the goddamn trigger already. We spent a year knowing this was going to main even WM, and just wanted it over with so everyone could move on already. Reigns would have the belt, and WWE could (eventually) think about who was going to take it off Reigns. But nope. We had to sit through nearly half a year until Reigns won the damn thing, and nothing was accomplished except pissing off the fans.

[@kfire2567]

Couldn't have said it any better. Especially considering after the fact that in kayfabe Roman got a random rematch on the next Saudi show after just losing fair and square

[@Dreammaster695]

If you ask me they should keep the money in the bank winners in the mix to make it more interesting the last few winners have been horrible

[@Bermondseybob]

There was a massive Mexican Wave at WrestleMania VI! It went tge whole way around the top level of the Sky Dome and even Gorilla Monsoon mentioned it on commentary.

[@stephenustrakjr2036]

Not only did no one want to see this match it was exactly what no one wanted to see period. A horrible misfire but still not the worst w.m. main event. ( that would be w.m. 9 ) lol. 😈

[@kaqueburlington4278]

Styles vs Nakamura should’ve closed WM 34. And I know it was a let down, not close to their best match, but I still would’ve closed with a match ppl wanted to see.

[@jdlee4358]

Where is Charlotte tapping out asuka at the same WrestleMania match.

[@TheJuliet316]

It's less shocking in retrospect when you think about how Charlotte's reign ended two days later on SMACKDOWN.

[@jordan12118]

No

[@shahmir7403]

I actually expected this to be higher. This would definitely be in my top 3. ABSOLUTLY NOONE expected Lesnar to retain.

[@TheJuliet316]

That's because another Lesnar match is probably a lot higher.

[@Dreammaster695]

Why did they make him kick out of so many f5s anyway yet he was pinned by one at summerslam the same year? Pretty dumb match

[@TheJuliet316]

I think there's more shocking WM outcomes than this one deserving of being on this list (just my opinion). That being said, Lesnar pinning 'Taker better be way higher than this match.

[@TheJuliet316]

@@guess6635 But this list is most shocking WM outcomes, not most shocking WM main events. Not all of Solomonster's picks (in fact most of them) have been WM main events.

[@theluckiesteh9058]

There really was no reason for this match to happen....

[@slimypickle19]

You can expect more of these "shock" Mania wins, just for the sake of marketing & keeping the belt on high profile names for the Saudi Arabia shows that follow soon after.

[@justablokepostingfunvids7137]

5 finishing moves.....f*cking 5..kicked out of 5 🤔

Top 4 ( just guessing) 1.) Brock vs Taker WM 30. 2) Austin shakes McMahon's hand at WM 17. 3) Bret vs Austin WM 13. The double Turn. 4)WM 20 When that guy beat Triple H & HBK in a triple threat match.

[@johnsos9]

The match that only 1 person on the planet wanted to see. I thought the crowd hated HHH/Lesnar but this took the cake. No surprise...we all knew the crowd was going to do everything short of pulling down their pants and actually shitting on this match as it was going on. It’s definitely the 2nd worst main event of a WM in the last 20 years. The 1st is Reigns/Undertaker.

[@WillFoSkill]

Great example of a terrible match, with an awesome, extremely memorable finish. Kind of a conundrum in that way.

[@dasupastar4lyfe]

The crowd killed this match completely. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to it. Today's fans are just...ridiculous. There's been crappy main events before (Taker/Sid at WM13 etc.) but at least the fans were respectful enough to not kill the experience for others. Today's fans are petulant.

[@superlex611]

It is not a shock,the fans knew that Reigns cannot beat Brock clean so it is not a swerve this time

[@AJDaniels99]

It must be something wrong with my eyes. Why do so many people think it's a bad match? The fans not giving a crap didn't help but in ring it looked good.

[@jordan12118]

AJ Daniels nothing but F5s, And Spears. The crowd didn’t help either and Roman was unbearable at that time. I like Roman now, but back then that spot should’ve went to Seth or Braun everybody knew it. I don’t know it was just a crap match I’m sure Brock and Roman knew it was shit too

[@AJDaniels99]

@SP My point exactly

[@kfire2567]

It was because there were only 6 moves in the whole match: Super man punch, closeline, spear, German suplex, F5, and a elbow/slap. Not to mention the build up was crap and the finish meant the feud was going to continue.

[@addi543]

This match reminded me of Luger/Yoko from SummerSlam ‘93 where they put all of this build, all of this hype around a challenger who seemed destined to be coronated as the top guy, only to somehow decide to not have him win the title and make him look stupid in the process.

I never found "predictability" to be legitimate criticism. Like, if you want everything to be a surprise then WWE may of well bring back Vince Russo

Lonely Warrior predictability isn’t always bad, but it can be boring and uninspired. I say this as a huge Bryan fan, but I found 30 (his matches included) to be a bit of a bore, if not actively bad.

Lonely Warrior that’s a good way to couch yourself from reasonable debate. If you like something, by all means like it and standby it. But even medicine become is bad for you if you take too much of it. There’s good and bad in everything, and predictability is no different. Re: Bryan, his going over at 30 was the right thing to do and I was happy for him as a fan. Still I don’t feel moved to watch those matches when I’m in the mood to watch a great Bryan match because technically and on an enjoyment level they didn’t do much for me.
