WrestleMania 36 Review: Night One

Mugging for Nobody

Pitting Corbin and Elias might have been a mistake on any given night but this was particularly true for a night with no fans. The two players despite what many may say, play better off to a crowd. Neither one, particularly Corbin was willing to adjust to this making a dull effort seem lifeless.

Though Elias's unusually angry resilience provided some mid-match entertainment, it wasn't enough for a contest ending in shenanigans. Baron Corbin obnoxiously battled with the referee and commentators to no effect and no crowd to play with.

Ironically, the two men wrestled in the Performance Center, where the future of the business comes to improve every day. A lack of psychology, a misunderstanding of their situation created the only dark spot, on a bright card. This is one contest that seemed perfectly poised to involve Gronk, that it failed to do so is unfortunate, considering his use later on in a tepid moment with R Truth, Mojo Rawley, and the 24/7 championship. Much more memorable than this snooze-fest.

Result: Elias rolls up Baron Corbin, grabbing deep on the tights to pick up a shock win!
