Main Card
The Fiend vs. Randy Orton
Winner: Randy Orton wins by pin
Mat: WWE has a magical hallway where if a zombie walks through it, it makes you a living being again. At least, that’s what I got from the opening of this match. Guys, The Fiend came out of a giant Jack in the box. I’m into this. Well, I was into it for a short while, but everything about this match got weird and cloudy at the end. Alexa Bliss had a crown on and she had the Papa Shango black sweats coming out of her head. Sure, build a rivalry between these two–that’s fine. But it came at a weird cost of losing to Randy Orton because of a weird distraction–much like how Drew McIntyre lost to Bobby Lashley because of MVP yelling.
I don’t know what’s going on, and I don’t have to know what’s going on, but the whole storyline of the return of The Fiend should have been something bigger, and not just a quick RKO and pin while Bliss and The Fiend stare at each other. I really hated this ending. But hey, what an entrance, right?
Rating: 5/10
Chris: I was very happy to find out for sure this wasn’t going to be a cinematic match. I love the Fiend essentially being reborn from the ashes of his burned self to come for Randy. Having Alexa reintroduce him through a Jack in the box was such a cool visual, and then the Fiend essentially brought himself back online after being in a zombie-like state for weeks and went on the attack. It’s such odd, but compelling storytelling that is outside of the realm of most of what we see from WWE. But the heavy horror movie influence on every aspect of this character simply works.
What didn’t work, for me, was the ending. Randy got the win, which… He also got the win in their inferno match. But he got it when Alexa distracted the Fiend. And instead of explaining why goth blood princess of darkness Alexa Bliss did such a thing, the lights simply went out and they were then gone. End of segment. But why? This will surely be something be something that gets addressed on Raw, but it feels anticlimactic for Wrestlemania.

Natalya & Tamina vs. Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler – Women’s Tag Team Championship
Winner: Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler by submission
Mat: The lead-in to this match–the Night 1 Tag Team Turmoil match–was bad. So obviously, I wasn’t that excited for this one–aside from the fact I want Baszler to go on a singles run because she deserves it. Obviously, that didn’t happen.
I actually am a big Tamina fan. She’s been sidelined so much over the years, and it’s been a bummer, so it was nice to see her get back into the ring in a major match. The match itself was less than fine, which is even more problematic because it’s following a disappointing match, and Mania needed something to pick it back up.
There’s a lot I don’t care for here, including the finish, but it’s fine, I guess. It felt like filler. Sloppy filler.
Rating: 4/10
Chris: Going in, this match was pretty inconsequential. This match and the gauntlet from last night are the annual “how many people can we get on the card” bout. WWE’s women’s tag division is an utter mess and nothing says that more than a makeshift heel team defending the titles against a makeshift heel team.
Honestly, I’d love a hard-hitting singles match or feud between Shayna Baszler and Tamina Snuka. Nia Jax still can’t hold up her end of the team when it comes to in-ring work and, try as WWE might to make her a thing, she needs so much more seasoning. She’s got the heel character down but doesn’t have the ring work to back it up. So, naturally, the portions of the match where she was the legal partner were sloppy, looked dangerous, and simply didn’t work.
I understand the titles not changing hands here but I was secretly hoping they would, if only so Shayna could move onto something better, which she deserves. As for this match, it’s forgettable at best.
