John Cena vs. Big Show vs Edge (c) in a triple threat match for World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship
Under 2 hours total wrestling time, including the pre-show tag-team championship consolidation lumberjack match, which feels incredibly short.
April 5, 2020: WrestleMania 36
Aired in an empty arena due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
First two night WrestleMania, changing the landscape of the biggest event of the year in history and spreading to other tentpole PLE’s.
Wrestlers deserve a TON of credit for pulling this off, but this PLE wasn’t all that great due to the limitations of the pandemic.
Night one:
John Morison vs. Jimmy Uso vs. Kodi Kingston in triple threat ladder match for the WWE Smackdown Tag Titles.
Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins in no DQ match
Braun Strowman vs. Goldberg for the WWE Universal Championship
Undertaker vs. AJ Styles in a Boneyard match (Taker’s last match)
Night two:
Rob Gronkowski wins the 24/7 Championship after jumping off a small balcony onto a half a dozen wrestlers fighting for the title.
Edge vs. Randy Orton in Last Man Standing match
The Fiend Bray Wyatt vs John Cena in a Firefly FUn House match
Drew McIntyre vs. Brock Lesnar for WWE Championship
