WRESTLEMANIA 25
Old High-flyer vs. New High-Flyer
Rey Mysterio d. Evan Bourne
*At least 20 minutes of crazy moves - They shake hands and hug afterwards, Mysterio tuffles Bourne's hair as if to say "don't worry you'll get there one day." - Considered one of the best openers ever.
ECW Title Match
Rob Van Dam d. Jack Swagger for the title
*Advertised as Tommy dreamer challenging, but Dreamer gets attacked by Swagger in the back leaving him without an opponent. Swagger says "well, I guess since I don't have an opponent, I'll just leave Wrestlemania as champion, then RVD's music hits. Short and sweet - 10 minutes.
Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Title Unification
Cody & Dibiase d. Morrison & Miz, Carlito & Primo, Cryme Tyme for both sets of Tag belts
*Dibiase pins Morrison after Miz knocks out Morrison by accident - Cody throws Miz out of the ring leaving Dibiase to get the pin. Cody & Dibiase leave with all the belts, Morrison & Miz argue in the ring, Miz turns on Morrison but Morrison superkicks Miz out the ring, Morrison on his own now - not as heel or face.
Women's Championship
Champion Beth Phoenix w/ Santino d. Gail Kim to keep the belt
* Beth regains the belt from Melina at No Way Out. During the match Beth severely injures Melina breaking her back with a sick looking torture rack (looks great because of melina's flexiblity). Gail Kim shows up on Raw and challenges Beth to a mtach at Wrestlemania to get revenge for what she did to her friend Melina. She didn't succeed.
Brother vs. Brother - TLC match
Matt Hardy d. Jeff Hardy
*At one spot both Hardy's fall off a massive ladder onto stacked tables. Matt steps out of his brothers shadow with a legit pin. The new Bret & Owen. They feud for most of 2009. This match that steals the show - 25 minutes.
Battle Royal Monster Battle Showdown
Umaga d. Big show, Kane, Koslov, & Khali
*This match is next to cool off the fans. Khali & Koslov eliminate each other. Big Show military presses and throws out Kane in a tremendous feat of strength. A returning Umaga gets a huge pop when he somehow throws out Big Show. Short & sweet match 10 minutes.
Celebrity match
Mickey Rourke w/ Ric Flair & Roddy Piper d. Chris Jericho
*This match is to sell Wrestlemania to the media and news. Jericho comes down first. Huge pop for Ric Flair's music as all three come out to it. Rourke much better wrestler than expected gets the win only because of outside interference.
WWE Championship
Edge w/ Vickie & Chavo d. Triple H
*Lots of interfering on the part of Vickie & Chavo, but Triple H can take care of those two easily. Match is back and forth with great spots through the announcing tables. End of the match - Referee gets knocked down, Triple H hits the pedigree, no one there to make the pin, Christian comes out of from the crowd, hits Triple H with his finisher, puts a limp Edge on top of him, Ref counts to 3, Edge wins. A shocked Edge celebrates with Christian in the ring. Edge puts his foot on top of Triple H and holds up the belt. Then Christian hit Edge with his finisher and leaves the champ and Triple H laying in the ring. This sets up an Edge vs. Christian feud. Triple H and Edge both slowly make to their feet. Triple H gives Edge another pedigree and leaves the ring to fans cheering.
The Wrestlemania Streak
The Undertaker d. Shawn Michaels w/ JBL
*JBL tells Shawn he’s not getting paid since he didn’t win the belt from John Cena. But he wants something better than the belt – a streak. He will pay Shawn triple the amount of money promised to him to end Undertakers streak. End of the match – Shawn had enough of JBL and superkicks him off the ring apron, Shawn turns around right into a Tombstone Piledriver for the win. The streak continues.
Main Event for the World Heavyweight Championship
Randy Orton w/ undisputed tag champions Priceless d. John Cena for the WHC
*End of the match – Orton hits the RKO because of outside interference from Priceless and gets the pin. Wrestlemania ends with Orton in the middle holding up the WHC and priceless on each side of him holding up 2 sets of tag titles. JR: “Legacy is the premier stable in the WWE.”
