It only comes once a year – and this year, history is being made as the women’s championships were defended in the main event of WrestleMania.

Remember that massively over-the-top supercard you book on your WWE video games? The Greatest Royal Rumble was that, come to life.
New Orleans’ second WrestleMania in four years ended up being memorable – for all the reasons you expected going in, and one that you perhaps didn’t with a weird as all heck main event.
It’s that time of year again as wrestling seems to be giving way to the Ultimate Thrill Ride on a show that seemed to be a final farewell for the Dead Man.
We’re on the home straight. This Sunday, over 85,000 fans will pack the AT&T Stadium near Dallas, Texas (regardless of whatever attendance number WWE announces), as the thirty-second WrestleMania comes to pay-per-view.
Saturday night saw the WWE hold another Network-special, with a house show in Toronto being turned into their first-ever “Roadblock” event. With WrestleMania three weeks away, it was intended to be nothing more than a distraction, but there was some hope going in that this would reshape WrestleMania. In the end, it was just another house show, with a pretty good main event.
So, the first pay-per-view of 2016 is in the books, and WWE has a new champion. Perhaps the biggest surprise on Sunday was that the company kept their surprises limited to two: a debut, and the new champion.
In years gone by, it’s been a bit of a stereotype – you can’t bet on wrestling, it’s fixed! Well, in recent times, bookmakers have been offering odds for pay-per-views for several months now, with those odds usually shifting at the last minute (particularly if a certain dolphin-themed Redditer has his say!)
