Wrestlemania 28 how long

Punk sent Jericho over the top rope then hit a suicide dive. Punk threw Jericho back inside and attempted a springboard, Jericho countered with yet another Code Breaker for a close fall. Punk attempted two GTS' in a row, but Jericho countered. Jericho went up to the top rope and Punk hit the dropkick on Jericho to send him crashing down to the mat. Punk slapped the Anaconda Vice on Jericho, and they followed up with several near-fall roll-ups.

Jericho used every ounce of strength to break free but it was no use, he taps, CM Punk got his hand raised and retained the WWE Championship. Comments: Phenomenal match, hands down the best match of the night.

Lots of near-falls by both Jericho and Punk. John Cena. After a year of build up, the war of words on Twitter and the countless face-to-face confrontations, wrestling fans were finally set to see these two WWE superstars tangle in the ring.

Cena and Rock started the match with a collar and elbow tie-up, with Cena throwing Rock to the Corner. The lock up yet again, this time Rock threw Cena in the corner. They exchanged holds and moves one for one, but Cena gained control over Rock with a side headlock.

Rock quickly mounted the comeback. A lot of pauses between spots occurred between Rock and Cena to hype the fans up. Cena was back in control of the match and hit Rock with a hard clothesline. Cena then wore down Rock with a Bear Hug, but it was short lived, Rock fired back and Cena sent Rock over the top rope.

Cena punished Rock on the outside, using the announcers' table to injure Rock's ribs. Cena and Rock were back inside, Cena hit some high-impact moves to continue to work on Rock's injured ribs. Rock mounted the comeback but it didn't last long, Cena once again clamped Rock in a Bear Hug, continuing to work on the injured ribs of The Rock.

Rock mounted the comeback with a DDT on Cena. Cena battled back with some hard punches, and Rock countered with a flying lariat and his signature spine-buster. Cena countered and attempted an STF, and a shoulder tackle. Cena hit his signature back body drop and the five-knuckle shuffle. An AA was next on the menu by Cena, but Rock countered and they both hit a double clothesline.

The show's card still has some work to do, but even without all the matches announced, the WWE might want to start planning which bouts are going to take place at which point of the show. A good way to ruin any pay-per-view is by having randomly placed matches that don't go where they belong, or too many big matches taking place right after one another.

The WWE can't afford to do that and likely won't, as long as the card is laid out correctly. So, how should it be? Although this is what the WWE reportedly has planned, here are my thoughts on the best match order for WrestleMania The first match on the card is one of the most important because it sets the tone for the rest of the show. Of course, you don't want to start things off on the wrong foot.

The best way to ensure that doesn't happen? Have CM Punk vs. While some wrestling purists may be most excited about this match, the truth is that it will be considered the No. Plus, we all know that things run long and that match times get cut, so having Punk vs.

Jericho go on first would give them the luxury of having a full-length match that doesn't get ruined because some crappy Divas match ran too long. The second match on the WrestleMania card is generally something that has minimal interest from WWE fans, and with all due respect to The Big Show and Cody Rhodes, I don't think that their Intercontinental Championship match is exactly something that we're pining to see.

It might be an OK match, sure. The match was officially announced the next day on WWE. Calling himself the "best wrestler in the world", Punk went on to successfully defend the WWE Championship numerous times. On the January 2 , episode of Raw, after extensive hype through several viral vignettes proclaiming the "end of the world as we know it" on that day, Chris Jericho returned to the WWE after over a year, and established a villainous persona over the next several weeks.

On the February 13 edition of Raw, Jericho accused Punk in an in-ring segment of being a copycat of him, and that he Punk stole his proclamation of being the "best in the world". While competing in the Raw Elimination Chamber match at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, Jericho was knocked out by a kick to the head by Punk, rendering him unable to compete any further, and Punk went on to win that match.

This incident further fueled Jericho's animosity towards Punk. In subsequent promos, both wrestlers expressed their desire to prove who is "the best in the world. Their feud gained increased momentum week after week when, over January and February , Rhodes began mocking Big Show's less than stellar performances at WrestleMania over the years, calling him "a reverse Undertaker" a direct reference to The Undertaker's undefeated record at WrestleMania, compared to Big Show's record also citing the ridiculous nature of some of his matches such as his match against Akebono at WrestleMania 21 in a Sumo match and Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Later that night, Long agreed with Laurinaitis' desire for only one man to run both brands, but believed that it should be him. The two were then given the chance by the WWE Board of Directors to run the other show for one night in order for the Board to evaluate them, with Long running the March 5 edition of Raw and Laurinaitis in charge of the March 9 edition of SmackDown. That night on Raw, Long appointed his assistant Santino Marella to be the captain of his team, while Laurinaitis appointed Otunga to be the captain and named Mark Henry as a member of his team.

On March 15, it was announced that R-Truth had been added to Long's team. Phoenix, angered over having been traded to the SmackDown brand by O'Dell, barged into their office and got into a confrontation with both women, leading to a Six-Diva tag team match later that night in which Menounos' team defeated Phoenix's team.

On the edition of Tribute to the Troops , Menounos made an appearance, this time in an Eight-Diva tag team match, winning the match for her team by pinning Phoenix. Kelly and Eve, on the other hand, had a falling apart of their friendship after Eve admitted to having used Zack Ryder and John Cena to further her own career. On the March 15 episode of Extra , Phoenix and Eve interrupted an interview between Kelly and Menounos, which resulted in a confrontation.
