Top 10 Best WrestleMania 38 Matches
Promoted as the "most stupendous WrestleMania in history", WrestleMania 38 is now in the history books and like always, the show of shows was packed with memorable moments and entertaining matches. Let's rank the matches from Night 1 and Night 2 of WrestleMania 38.A highly anticipated match among wrestling fans, with weeks of rumors about who would face Seth Rollins. Cody Rhodes made his return to the company he once called home. Although the secret was poorly kept and most fans knew, the shock and emotions were still high. Rhodes and Rollins delivered an amazing match, which many fans consider their favorite of the two-night event.
Taking place halfway through night 1, both the champion and the challenger tore the house down in a match that culminated a rivalry that began at SummerSlam 2021. Becky controlled most of the action until Belair found her second wind, changing the tides of the match. This marked the second year in a row that Bianca Belair won a title at WrestleMania.
Bianca had an awesome win in this match!
Fans knew Stone Cold would be involved in WrestleMania 38, but no one expected a full-fledged match lasting 14 minutes. Austin accepted Kevin Owens' challenge, marking his first match in 19 years. Austin showed no signs of ring rust, and both he and Owens delivered a very good match. The Texas Rattlesnake expressed satisfaction with the match, stating it would be his last.
While this match was good, the ending underwhelmed fans who expected more from a match billed as the biggest WrestleMania match of all time. It was the first time two important titles were unified in the main event in the show's history. Still, the match was good, and seeing Roman Reigns hold both the WWE and Universal championships made for a memorable moment.
A fun match between Sami Zayn and the Jackass star Johnny Knoxville, featuring props and many comedic spots. Knoxville took many bumps during the match. Overall, it was a fun celebrity match and a much-needed distraction.
This was a very entertaining match between three of WWE's best tag teams. Everyone in this match showed great chemistry, making it feel special the entire time. The match ended with Riddle delivering a spectacular springboard RKO off the top rope, followed by an RKO from Orton to score the win.
The dream match between Edge and AJ Styles did not disappoint. The match was one of the longest on the card, starting slow but leading to impressive spots and close pinfalls. Edge won thanks to a distraction from Damian Priest.
Fans were behind Pat McAfee the entire match, creating a fun ambiance. The match exceeded expectations, with McAfee performing many unexpected spots, showing he had trained extensively. McAfee pinned Theory for the win. Vince McMahon then got involved, resulting in a small match with McAfee that ended with a stunner from "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
Why is McAfee trapped behind the announce table when he is so talented? He should be a main eventer for the company for years to come if they know what's good.
This match was fine, allowing all women to shine and perform their spots, providing a nice change of pace. Sasha Banks and Naomi won the match, marking Banks' first WrestleMania win.
This match marked the end of the rivalry between Drew McIntyre and Happy Corbin. Notably, McIntyre became the first to kick out of Corbin's finishing move, the "End of Days."
Another celebrity match that delivered well. Logan Paul even taunted the Mysterios with an iconic Eddie Guerrero move. The match ended with Paul and Miz winning in a surprising upset. The win was short-lived for Paul, as The Miz attacked him after the match.
The two big guys delivered a classic hard-hitting match, ending with Bobby Lashley's surprise victory, handing Omos his first loss.
This match was alright, considering Big E's injury prior to WrestleMania, which made the match less exciting. Overall, an alright match.
While the match itself was alright, aside from the ending, most fans weren't hyped due to the poor buildup and lack of interest. Still, Rousey and Flair delivered a good performance.
During the match, Rick Boogs sadly got injured, ending the fight sooner than expected.
