These are the WWE matches that got WrestleMania started on the right foot.
With a wrestling show, the opening match can be nearly as important as the main event.
Get the blood pumping and jumpstart all the energy to carry the next few hours.
Here are the openers that truly started the show off right.
The two put on an excellent show full of amazing ringwork and reversals.
That it ended with Owen cleanly getting an upset win was the icing on the cake.
At the previousWrestleMania, Eddie Guerrero successfully defended the WWE Championship and stood tall in the PPVs final shot.
Sadly, this would be Eddies finalWrestleManiadue to a sudden death from heart issues.
Or the time when Mr. Kennedy does the Green Bay Plunge on Hornswoggle off a ladder.
Kennedy himself would end up winning this one, though his aftermath as the briefcase holder was entirely cursed.
Only it turns out Vince wasnt the father, as it was really Finlay.
Well take our wins where we can get them.
Daniel Bryan vs.
But that wasnt his only match of the night.
The two jibed perfectly and we got one of the last truly great matches in Triple Hs career.
Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor vs. Seth Rollins and Finn Balor once had a great match to crown the first ever Universal Champion.
Rollins insisted on going through with the match and turned things around with an illegal punch to the balls.
It was cheating, but it was justified.
For one, this was the first major WWE show since the pandemic that had a full crowd.
By default, this crowd starting offWrestleManiawould be off the wall pumped.
It wasnt instantaneous, but Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley going at it eventually woke them up.
Two big, meaty men slapping meat will do that sometimes.
Definitely better than the following nights goofball Randy Orton vs. Fiend match and its box-like structure bullshit.
Even then, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross vs.
Even with that handicap, the two started the show off with a bang.
