Grade: B

Analysis: The injury that Rey Mysterio suffered must have made it impossible for The Master Of The 619 to have a long match without worsening his injury. However, given the fact that this match only lasted for a minute, it was a pretty good match.

The two men fit all of the action that they could fit into that minute and it was actually pretty technically sound match. It looked like Rey Mysterio would get another quick WrestleMania victory but instead suffered that himself.

That lightning-quick counter from Samoa Joe into the Coquina Clutch was amazing. That victory along with other wins from Samoa Joe has helped to make the Coquina Clutch look like one of the most dangerous submissions in all of WWE.

Samoa Joe now looks so dangerous that it seems possible that he will defeat Braun Strowman if they have a feud with each other.
