WWE WrestleMania 34 report card: Analysing and grading each match

#4 Seth Rollins def. The Miz and Finn Balor (Intercontinental Championship)

Seth Rollins is now a Grand Slam champion

Match: The most unpredictable match of the night was chaotic from start to finish, with all three men looking likely to win at different stages. The finish came when Seth Rollins hit a double Curb Stomp on The Miz and Finn Balor, seconds after Balor struck Miz with a Coup de Grace. “The Kingslayer” then landed another Curb Stomp on Miz for the win.

Verdict: This was the perfect way to start the WrestleMania main show. The match was just as frenetic as expected, with plenty of pinfall attempts and high-flying moments, and Seth’s multiple foot stomps before his final Curb Stomp set the finish up very well.

Grade: A-

#5 Charlotte Flair def. Asuka (SmackDown Women’s Championship)

Charlotte Flair ended Asuka's undefeated streak

Match: Much of the SmackDown Women’s title match centred around the unique submission skills of Asuka and the athletic ability of Charlotte Flair. The most impressive spot was when “The Empress of Tomorrow” kicked out of a top-rope Spanish Fly, and then Charlotte picked up a surprise win by making her opponent tap out to a one-armed Figure Eight.

Verdict: The streak is over! After 914 days, Asuka is undefeated no more. This much-anticipated match lived up to expectations, producing a finish that the New Orleans crowd didn’t see coming. It’s sad to see Asuka’s winning run end, but this was a great way to do it – and with no Carmella in sight!

Grade: A
