WrestleMania kicked off with the brothers going at it. The match was nothing short of perfection, with the duo presenting an absolute clinic in the middle of the ring. To everyone's surprise, Owen managed to pull off an upset on his brother, and left the ring with a hard-earned victory.
The WrestleMania opener was Bret's first match of the night, followed by the final match where Bret defeated Yokozuna to become the WWE champion. As Bret celebrated in the ring, a visibly upset Owen stared at him with disgust to end the show of shows.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
