WWE is known for some of the big pay-per-views in the wrestling industry. The pay-per-views are the pillars of the company which made them evolve as the monopoly of the wrestling business.
Over the years the company has provided some of the anticipated shows with greater match cards and interesting matches for which it broke multiple records. WWE WrestleMania is the top pay-per-view of the company that has created great records. Here we have power ranked the last ten WrestleMania’s.
10. WrestleMania 36
Mania 36 was a tough time when the entire world suffered from COVID-19. The pandemic had a lot of quarantine restrictions, where WWE was hosted without live audiences. WrestleMania 36 was pre-taped and became the only WrestleMania that was not live to the audience.
Although there were no fans, WWE tried to book some great cinematic matches. However the empty arena and availability of wrestlers spoiled the aura. Drew McIntyre vs Brock Lesnar, Taker vs Styles would have received a great pop with fans. However it ended as one of the Worst Mania PPV’s of all time.
9. WrestleMania 34
WrestleMania 34 is one of the poorly built pay-per-views of the decade, where the bookings didn’t excite many fans. Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns main evented the show and people were busy chanting other wrestlers names.
The Taker vs Cena, Jinder Mahal vs Randy Orton, AJ Styles vs Nakamura and almost everything went in an upset. Comparing other WrestleManias of the decade this is one of the worst.
