Im still waiting Adam to rank every Roman Reigns match from his 1316 day reign
Thats a 4 min video my boi
@@rezzytheskyguycool wwe videos
@@rezzytheskyguybetter than the 30 seconds it would be for Brock Lesnar
The video package for Jimmy and Jey was better than the match
Jey and Jimmy involvement in Cody vs Roman's match is better than their entire match in Night 1.
I'll just put it out there, I believe every match was phenomenal. If I had to put one on the bottom it would have to be the Uso match.
I agree, the Uso match has received so much hate. Like it slightly under delivered but it was a solid match.
And even that one told a good story. It told an important story. That the match kind of sucked pales compared to that.
I thought the Uso match could have been a decent main event on Raw or Smackdown, but it definitely was the worst match at 'Mania.
It's ok for some to be better than others and a few to not live up to expectations. Not everyone wins first place, contrary to what society is trying to teach.
@@tommyguerreraYou must have a different definition of a 'solid match'. It was absolute trash.
That Logan rising on the right, as he talks about his match is…disturbing.
Logan Pole xD
@@pln9fos Logan Bellend.
Honestly being there the whole event was an experience of a lifetime. I really liked every match besides the LWO match and Jey vs Jimmy. If i had to pick a top 4 it would be Cody vs Roman, Sami vs Gunther, Rhea vs Becky and Logan vs Randy vs Owens
I literally couldn't look at the video when the bit with logan paul was happening, I couldn't stop laughing. These editors need a raise
You gonna be doing this for every wrestlemania? Seems like an interesting series.
The main event to night 2 was like watching Avengers Endgame
and then night 1 main event was infinity war
I thought it was more along the lines of robocop since we are just spewing out movie titles.
Last year was Infinity War, Cody trying to overcoming the Thanos villain being Roman and failing and having to wait a full year to get his rematch
I've seen this comment so many times. Something original would be nice
@@JeffreyMarksWorldAlright how about last year was Kang Dynasty and this year was Secret Wars😂
Iyo and Bayley was far superior to Rhea vs Becky
Honestly i agree the build was a lot better and had a better story and i feel its honestly a contender for match of the year
Iyo really put on in that match she had the best performance in a loss I’ve ever seen
Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns was overbooking done to absolute perfection.
It was good. Perfection.. would have been the Elite / Bullet Club showing up to stop the Bloodline.
i just learned the lashley group is called the pride lol
I had no idea that Bobby Lashley, Street Profits & B-Fab's group name was called The Pride either until now, too.
Bayley v Iyo at #5 is CRIMINAL considering what was listed at 4 and 3 🥴🥴🥴
Roman/Cody, Gunther/Sami, Tag Title Match, Bayley/Iyo, and Bloodline vs Cody & Seth are easily the Top 5 of the weekend.
I absolutely agree, respectfully Becky and Rhea was solid but it’s maybe 9th or 8th
Dear lord, I never want to see Jimmy vs. Jey wrestle each other ever again.
Their matches are pretty lame as singles stars.
@@Takingcareofbusiness669 They both have the same moveset and all they do is spam superkicks, spears and splashes. I never really expected that match to be good.
Fun list, but Bayley v IYO and the US Title match undervalued. They were arguably 2 and 3 for me. Brilliant back to back matches.
The only thing that made the US title match a little over the top for me was speed showing up in the bottle costume. I just don’t understand why him. Same thing with the Rey v dom tag match, I don’t know or care about either of those guys and I was expecting them to be some sort of wrestling big shots but nah meaty men doing meaty men things
@@shilohhawk2990 Honestly don't have a clue who random internet Prime bottle guy was. But I think Logan Paul Mania matches having a random famous internet person in the Prime bottle taking a big move works well. Logic works fine IMO - especially for those of us for whom random big deal CZcamsrs are interchangeable (which is probably the majority of the wrestling audience).
I think the end of the Rey Dom match was weird. I do vaguely know the guys but any relationship to the storyline or why them was confusing. At least they could have showed them in the crowd earlier or something.
@@fromomelastocarcosa3575yea the random internet prime bottle guy is ishowspeed with 25 million CZcams followers. Such a random
@@Cw1047 I did acknowledge he was famous. Fame is contextual though, some fame bubbles are bigger than others. There's a reason they shouted who he was the moment he appeared on screen.
To anyone who didn't know who he was he's completely random. That's how social media celebrities work. Their imprint is huge, but outside of an absolute minimum handful (Paul, Mr Beast) it's entirely self-contained.
I'm a Millennial and I'd never seen him before in my life and suspect that would be pretty common to anyone above 30. Sure as heck anyone older than me has no idea who he is for starters
@@shilohhawk2990That's Logan's gimmick, he's going to form a faction one day with all these douchey social media allies and him and the other one who got rko'ed are gonna be in it. It will be the most obnoxious heel faction ever, throw in Grayson Waller Austin Theory and Pretty Deadly too, it will be the douchiest faction that ever existed.
Every WM 40 match ranked (my opinion):
Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes > The Rock & Roman Reigns vs Cody & Seth >= Iyo Sky vs Bayley > 6 Pack Ladder Match > Gunther vs Sami Zayn >= Logan Paul vs Randy Orton vs Kevin Owens > Seth vs Drew > Rhea vs Becky > Aj styles vs LA Knight > The pride vs The final testament > Bianca, Jade & Naomi vs Damage Ctrl > Andrade & Rey > Santos & Dominik > Jey vs Jimmy
Iyo vs bayley much better than rhea vs becky
Agreed, not to discredit Rhea or Becky they were phenomenal as always, but even going into XL, Bayley vs Iyo was getting over looked yet for me it was the second best match of the weekend. Top to bottom this was easily a top 5 Mania and honestly might just be the best.
Wrestlemania 40 brought me all the way back to wrestling
Its pretty telling the Usos came outta the FCW system. Something tells me if they had been NXT grown theyd be better in the ring instead of move spam.
I can understand and in part agree however USOS are tag team specialists. They work amazingly well as a team - ie pretty much all their matches towards the end of their run as undisputed tag champs - and have always trained, learned and worked together on more tag team focused moves and psychology when developmental is concerned. I think a little more time as singles will allow them to get better, increase and diversify their move set and discover their personal style as singles guys. I believe revisiting this match up in a couple of years time if they remain apart (which seems unlikely rn due to storyline) would be very interesting and very different from the super kick fest we saw at WM.
@@andreiacapela1881 problem is they always work the exact same match
Imo, the Usos match was definitely the most disappointing. Both tag matches kinda just felt like tv matches. And night 1's main included waaay too much stalling and crowd pandering. No bad matches though. Sami and Gunther was my match of Mania. I love both those two to death. May Gunther be the next heavyweight champ
This might be a weird comparison but I personally consider Cody vs Roman to be the modern equivalent of Hogan vs Andre at Wrestlemania 3. Maybe not a technical masterpiece, but an absolute spectacle in terms of storytelling and moment which makes it an all time classic.
While Sami Vs Gunther was the match that stole the show, just like Macho Man vs Ricky Steamboat did at Wrestlemania 3.
It had the best ending of any Wrestlemania, the best women's championship story (and match), Gunther vs Sami, The Rock looking incredible, Wrestlemania 40 was perfect imo
I was there for Night 1 and myself and those around me thought that Jimmy vs Jey was just starting to get interesting when it ended. I’m genuinely shocked to find out it had gone on for 11 minutes
This is really good video conept that you guys could do for future PPVs. It feels like a nice recap/review after the dust has settled on a show.
Coming from someone who was there live for both nights, this was one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had.
Same brother, it was Incredible
I concur. I drove 10 hours from Ohio and it was worth every bit of it. The atmosphere was something out of this world.
From what I've heard, Jey was suffering from asthma from the cold during the match with Jimmy and couldn't go for long.
In what world is Rhea vs Becky was better than Iyo vs Bayley???
Let’s be honest Bayley vs iyo was the best pure fight of the night, the main event has star power and story but the MATCH of the PLE was bay vs iyo. The Gunther vs zayn is second and then Cody vs Roman is third. That’s my top 3
Iyo vs. Bayley > Seth vs. Drew if only because Bayley's knee selling > Seth's knee selling
1. Roman v Cody
2. Sami v Gunther
3. Iyo v Bayley
4. Rock and Roman v Cody and Seth
This is my list as well, and I could argue #2 should switch with #3
Take me back to that main event😭😭
Listen I like Becky vs Rhea, but Bayley vs Iyo was better. In my mind, Cody vs Roman was the best "sports entertainment" match while either Bayley vs Iyo or Gunther vs Sami was the best wrestling match. Also, no way the US title triple threat is worse then the six pack ladder match. The US triple threat was one of the best matches of the weekend while the six pack challenge was your standard multi man ladder match with a nice ending
Oh wrestling is so back you guys
Just needa get rid of Def Rebel
Great idea for a new RANKED:
Every Gunther/Walter Championship Match
The triple threat at number 8 is a crime. Easily a top 3 match for me
14:07 ngl, I LOLed at the El Generico joke
Iyo vs Bayley is getting over looked because it was right before the main event which was probably the best match of the decade so far and I also think many people didn’t like Iyo skys reign up to that point because they weren’t giving her the time in ring to show how good she really was so many weren’t invested in the match and had to be won over where Rhea Ripley is seen as a mega star and doesn’t have to prove herself in the ring and naturally gets over
I feel like the uso v uso match neede to be no holds barred. It makes much more sense for their feud and would make that match much better
I still don't know what people were expecting with Jey vs Jimmy Uso. It was good on paper, but people should have known it was going to be a superkick and splash festival 🤷♂️
Iyo vs bayley getting ranked lower than rhea vs becky is crazy.This deserved to be either number 2 or 3, alongside gunther vs sami
I agree with the Top 5 but would have had it as
5. Seth/Drew
4. Rhea/Becky
3. Cody/Roman
2. Sami/Gunther
1. Bayley/IYO
I did enjoy all the matches, but am a little tired of WWE's main event style being finisher spam. Especially compared to other places where it seems they've moved on from that and have a bit more focus on in-match stories = That's why my top 2 is different, they really had in-match narratives that all the moves helped progress and didn't just kinda copy that Brock/Goldberg match from 2017. I guess you could say there were kickouts in the GUNTHER match, but he doesn't really have a set finisher, more that every move he hits can be a finisher.
My rankings plus ratings:
13. Uso battle: 🌟
12. Philly street fight: 🌟 1/2
11. Noaomi/belair/cargill vs. Damage CTRL:
🌟 🌟 1/4
10. Rey & Andrade vs. Dominik & Santos:
🌟 🌟 1/4
9. Cody/Seth vs. Bloodline:
🌟 🌟 🌟
8. Tag Title Ladder Match:
🌟 🌟 🌟 1/4
7. LA vs AJ: 🌟 🌟 🌟 3/4
6. Becky vs Rhea: 🌟 🌟 🌟 3/4
5. Drew vs. Seth: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
4. U.S. 3 way: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
3. Sami vs. Gunther: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
2. Bayley vs. Iyo: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 3/4
1. Cody vs. Roman: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Solid list & would probably agree with most of that! WM40 was mostly a fantastic show!
Jimmy vs Jey let the 2012 kid in all of us down 😢
Oooh is this a new series of videos? Love it
Iyo vs bayley was better than Rhea And Becky
Easily the 3 best match
Finally! The Rock has come back to the back!
Night 1 was mid
Night 2 was awesome
We (the crowd) were dead night 1 because it was so cold.
@@dcap79 I don't blame you but even if the crowd was loud nothing happened night 1 that to me was interesting
Night 2 was awesome I enjoyed almost all the matches
That was cool you were there at mania braving that cold on night 1 I felt for ya.ll it looked cold
The big move after big move match style is defitnetly Paul Heyman.
Ripley having a panic attack prior to the match is an interesting coincidence because I myself was in the throes of untreated panic disorder while trying to watch this show (don't worry, I'm getting treatment now and doing much better) and it ruined my first Wrestlemania experience entirely.
Feel for her cause I know how scary those are, and hope she has a speedy recovery from her injury.
I ranked Iyo vs Bayley at #1. Sami vs Gunther at #2
The Uso's are the 2024 version of the Hardys. Great together but don't EVER match them against each other 1 on 1.
I like how Undertaker and Bisexual Undertaker only did chokeslams on Night 2.
This is the first WrestleMania I watched in full.
For free, no less, although a week late.
And I think it was a good one. Better than WrestleMania 34 for sure.
I would put Ripley vs lynch at number 5, Rollins and McIntyre at 4, bayley vs iyo at 3 and the rest is fine. Bayley vs iyo was easily the best female match of the year so far imo.
C'mon now. Iyo v. Bayley is easily the 2nd best match from this wrestlemania.
The only 2 matches I thought were bad were the Usos and the women's trios match, everything else was good to amazing
Bayley vs. IYO SKY was way better than Rhea Ripley vs. Becky Lynch.
List was instantly discredited when you rank Rollins vs Drew and Rhea VS Becky over Iyo vs Bayley. Top 2 match the across the entire weekend.
I hope he does every Wrestlemania best match 🤞🏻
Even considering the Uso match. I don’t think there was anything outright bad on this card. Great mania
One question sb se best hell in a cell matches? Seth Rollins vs edge seth Rollins vs Cody rodhes undertaker vs hhh
My only gripe with the finish of the LWO match was why not just have the match have a clean finish and then have Legado try for a sore loser post-match beat down and then have the Eagles do their run-in?
I am biased for WM22. But this is my favorite WrestleMania of the last 18 years. Honorable mentions for 24, 25, 30 and 39 for being good in their own rights too
What if, since Raw is going to Netflix, Roman Reigns is drafted to Mondays.
I think andrades performance alone puts the match higher, and they were some true wrestlemania worthy spots - not just a tv match
the best spot is from Joaquin Wilde who isn't even in the match, at that point why didn't they do a mixed 5v5 (LWO+andrade+rey+ zelina vs santos berto angel dom and elektra) leaving Carlito out to betray Rey's faction because it would have made a lot of sense and Carlito as a face doesn't work
Am I the only one who thinks Rollins vs Drew was actually horrible ? I was so disappointed because I was waiting for it so badly. Thank God postmatch saved the day
Please do this with the other WrestleManias!!! At least the last 30 😅😅😅
Oh yes a start of a new series i can watch... YEEEEES
Not having Iyo and bayley in top 3 is a travesty
Becky Vs Rhea does not deserve to be as high as it is. Tag match and IYO Vs Bayley were far more sound and entertaining
6:19 I know it says “MAV” but at this angle it is clearly “AEW” 😂😂
To be honest, I forgot The Final Testament Vs. The Pride was on the show in the meantime 🙈
I hoped it would be something like the Chicago Street Fight from WrestleMania 13, but this match was really dull.
You might not care about american football but just know that in the city of philadelphia Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson are massive stars. So it wasn't surprising they showed up. Especially Jason he's a legend in philly.
I think the USO match could have been better if it had a stipulation like Last Man Standing
Becky v Rhea over iyo v bayley is CRAZY
Absolutely fantastic Mania.
1,5* - Uso vs Uso

Thanks 🎉
1. Gunther vs Sami Zayn. Match of the weekend for me, I do not care.
2. Cody vs Roman. Overbooking done to perfection.
3. Seth vs Drew. Wrestling is fun.
4. Bayley vs Iyo Sky. I love Bayley so much.
5. Rock/Roman vs Cody/Seth.
6. Six pack ladder match. The right winners. Also, the wrong winners.
7. AJ vs LA.
8. Becky vs Rhea. Fair play to Becky for coming out while sick to her gut, but you could tell she wasn't able for it.
9. The Street Fight. It was eight minutes of mindless fun, I thought it was fine.
10. Andrade/Mysterio vs Escobar/Mysterio. Good match but the build lets it down.
11. US Title triple threat. It's Logan Paul, it can't go higher than here.
12. Cargill, Naomi and Belair vs Damage CNTRL.Yawn...
13. Uso civil war... It wasn't good. I'm sorry. They're not that good as wrestlers, they need to improve their movesets.
The mysterio tag match was better than the street fight. That match fell apart after the aop disappeared and the table fell apart.
I tie this with Wrestlemania 17
Loved this pls do more
Ill say it, this was the best mania ever. Followed by 17, 31, and 39. The only match that wasnt at least "good" was jimmy vs jey. It was so disappointing. Id also say that id swap iyo/bayley and rhea/becky. The bayley match was a bit better
Me: Logan Paul's giant neck isn't real, it can't hurt you.
Logan Paul's giant neck: 6:59
Trouble is with the Logan Paul match is you could see the end coming before the match started, you just knew that Orton wil nail the RKO ajd Owens who was always gonna he the fall guy for Paul to steal the win.
good video
Mid wrestlemania that will be forgotten about by next year. Like 39 was.
Us title triple threat was at least a top 5 match
I think night one also suffered the crowd. It was dead watching it
1 Roman Cody
2 Roman Rock Cody Seth
3 Guther Sami
4 Ladder tag
5 Bayley Iyo
6 Logan Orton Owens
7 Ripley Becky
8 Rollins McIntyre
9 Styles Knight
10 Rey Andrade v Dominik Escobar
11 prophits vs kross
12 six woman match
13 Priest McIntyre
14 Jey vs Jimmy
io v bayley underrated here. as a pure wrestling match, for me it was the best of the weekend. taking booking and "entertainment" etc into account, for me it is still no lower than 3rd. all about opinions though...
Best of the weekend is a stretch. Not because it wasn't awesome and possibly the best match of Mania but weekend means throwing in Dijak v Briggs v Oba and Superheroes v Wolfdogs.
I've not rewatched them all so can't call. But on first watch I did think the triple threat was the best match of the weekend. BUT Bayley v IYO is going to be considered a Mania classic in the future and already seems to be rightly growing in reputation even just after a couple weeks.
@@fromomelastocarcosa3575 i really meant specifically of the mania shows. but you're right, the nxt triple threat was great.
I honestly didn't care for Seth vs Drew, personally. Finisher spam is finisher spam. Apparently those kinds of matches work for some people; they don't work for me.
5:05 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A lot of things on the wrong order, but most obvious is the IC match. That's arguably top 10 mania match of all time. Yes, the main event on night 2 was fantastic due to the run ins, but the best match over the weekend was the IC title match. Also, both women's matches and the ladder match were miles better than Seth and Drew. There was only one bad match over the 2 nights.
Iyo vs Bayley was my match of the weekend, followed by Gunther vs Sami
How could you watch WM40 and pick Rhea over IYO's match? It's a good thing this is subjective.
anyone else notice that Logan Paul's "MAV" on his right side reversed says "AEW"
If uso uso ain’t last it’s an instant thumbs… ok ok you guys got something right 😉
I was there and I only missed two matches. And it was Uso vs Uso, and LWO vs LDF, and I'm super glad
Sami Zayn Vs. WALTER is #01 and you know it.
