WrestleMania 36 Review: Night One

Soundscape of Violence

Kevin Owens leaps for a Moment of Mania

Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens

The two men opened the match with a fury unlike ever seen in quite a while, taking to their storyline's hatred and differences. A role reversal from their 2016 rivalry, this time around the chemistry and alignment is perfect.

It allowed Seth Rollins to try to snake his way out of this one, despite the display of arrogant bravado. Similarily Kevin Owens used the lack of a reaction to mouth off at an equally verbose Rollins, in an entertaining fashion. Once the structure changed after Rollins' disqualification, into No DQ, the two men just went into overdrive.

Utilizing the empty arena to perfection, both men made the brutal weaponed shots ring hard and echo with vicious fury. At the end of it all, Owens sunk deep to make his WrestleMania moment leaping off the marquee title set to burn it down. It gave way to the almost crumbling, haunting moans of Rollins and the merciless kill to end the Messiah's winning ways. WWE proved once again to be adaptable with a pitch-perfect use of sound, in a cinematically harsh slobber knocker.

Result: Kevin Owens hits the stunner on a panting Seth Rollins to pick up the win and a WrestleMania moment!
