WrestleMania 24 saw CM Punk win the Money In The Bank ladder match and Ric Flair face Shawn Michaels in a Retirement match.
HBK beat ‘The Nature Boy’, which led to Flair staying retired from the squared-circle for quite some time after the match and bidding adieu to the WWE as an in-ring performer, although he’d still be involved in several on-screen segments with WWE in the future.
WM 24 also saw Beth Phoenix and Melina beat Maria and Ashley in a ‘Playboy Bunnymania Lumberjill’ match, with Snoop Dogg acting as a special ring enforcer. Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated Big Show in a no-DQ matchup in the penultimate bout of the evening.
Randy Orton successfully defended his WWE Championship in a Triple Threat match against Triple H and John Cena. The main event of the evening saw the Deadman win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Edge using his signature ‘Hells-Gates’ manoeuvre.
