You can tell a lot about a wrestling fan by what they value most at WrestleMania: clean workrate, big moments, surprise returns, or an ending that flips a character’s whole direction. We bring Respectfully Wrong together with From My Perspective to rank the top 10 matches from WrestleMania, starting with our personal lists and then negotiating one collective list the hard way.
We get into the messy middle where the arguments live: why the women’s tag match lands on the board because of the Paige return, how Finn Balor bringing back The Demon changes the stakes of a street fight, and why Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton feels like it’s begging for a heel turn that never happens. We also talk pacing, celebrity involvement, and how a crowd’s reaction can elevate a match even when the build is shaky.
Then we climb into the top tier: why Gunther vs Seth Rollins delivers on in-ring quality even when you can see the late booking, why Rhea Ripley vs Jade sparks a real split in expectations, and how Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar works by doing exactly what it needs to do and then landing an emotional post-match beat. We close it out with the ladder match as pure WrestleMania chaos and our unanimous number one, CM Punk vs Roman Reigns, for storytelling that keeps you guessing.
