What was edges last match




















Omos eventually tagged Styles back in, which proved to be a bad move as Orton was able to counter a Phenomenal Forearm into an RKO before tagging in Riddle to hit a Floating Bro and secure the pin with Omos removed from the match. Solid enough tag action in this one, though you'd think the near-invincible Omos would stop tagging in Styles at some point.

RK-Bro def. Queen's Crown finals -- Doudrop vs. Zelina Vega: Doudrop caught a few kicks from Vega before delivering a headbutt. Vega went to the top rope where Doudrop caught a crossbody and tried to hit a slam. Vega managed to hit a tornado DDT for a near fall. Vega went on a run on offense before driving her knees into Doudrop in the corner for a near fall.

Doudrop hit a side slam for a near fall moments later. Vega managed to hit a Code Red on Doudrop to score the victory and become the first-ever Queen's Crown winner. After all of the ultra-short tournament matches, this went just under six minutes, long by comparison but still very short for a tournament final match.

Zelina Vega def. Doudrop via pinfall to win the Queen's Crown tournament. Goldberg vs. Goldberg tried to attack with punches immediately but was quickly dropped as Lashley used his chain-wrapped fist. Lashley sent Goldberg into the ring post and Goldberg was bloodied on his scalp almost immediately.

Lashley grabbed a steel chair and began to work over Goldberg before also hitting a chop block to work over the same knee Goldberg injured at SummerSlam. The aggression from Lashley eventually backfired as he missed a spear and drove himself through a table propped in the corner of the ring.

Goldberg hit a spear and a jackhammer but refused to go for the pin, instead removing his gloves and throwing Lashley from the ring. On the floor, Goldberg drove Lashley through the ringside barricade with another spear.

Despite having the match won, Goldberg continued to attack, trying to drive the ring steps into Lashley's head and stalking Lashley as he tried to leave the match only to have Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin come to his aid -- only for both to be quickly handled by Goldberg. Goldberg then got the win by driving Lashley from the entrance ramp through three tables below with yet another spear.

This was a better match than the two had at SummerSlam, if maybe a little bit longer than it needed to be and maybe a bit less violent than Goldberg had promised after vowing multiple times to kill Lashley. Goldberg def. Bobby Lashley via pinfall. Grade: B. King of the Ring finals -- Finn Balor vs. Xavier Woods: Balor got the early momentum after a bit of back and forth action to start the match.

Woods nearly won the match early with a big superkick right as Balor was getting rolling for a corner dropkick. Both men exchanged chops, elbows and kicks before Woods got Balor into the corner and delivered a superplex.

Woods tried to end things with the rope walk elbow drop, but Balor got his knees up and flurried back trying to finish things with a Coup de Grace only for Woods to move.

Woods went for the rope walk elbow again, this time hitting it and scoring the pin. This was far shorter than expected but is yet another great moment a New Day member, with Woods getting to live his dream as King of the Ring.

Xavier Woods def. Finn Balor via pinfall to win King of the Ring. Drew McIntyre: Various tests of strength opened the match, with both men failing to knock the other down with shoulder blocks before McIntyre got the early advantage. After the match went outside the ring, McIntyre hit Big E with a belly-to-belly suplex on the floor. McIntyre nearly won the match with a spinebuster as he continued to have the champion on his heels. Both men hit several belly-to-belly suplexes before a Big E splash scored him a near fall.

After McIntyre countered his way out of a stretch muffler submission, Big E hit the Big Ending but only scored a two-count. McIntyre also had his big move not get the finish when Big E kicked out of a Claymore. A second Big Ending was enough to get it done for Big E, winning the match and retaining his title. This was a very good match, with some very convincing near falls.

Exactly the kind of match Big E needed to continue building his title reign. Big E def. Drew McIntyre via pinfall to retain the title. Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks: Lynch was very over with the live crowd but was nearly immediately taken out of the match after being knocked from the ring, allowing Belair and Banks to shine, with Belair hitting a one-arm press slam.

Lynch and Banks paired off next, with Banks using a meteora for a near fall before locking Lynch in the Banks Statement, which was broken up by Belair.

Lynch tried to hit both women with a dropkick from the top rope but was caught and thrown back into the turnbuckle. Belair nearly hit Lynch with the Kiss of Death, but Lynch was able to counter and then get her knees up on a splash. Belair got more chances to shine with impressive shows of power, forcing Lynch and Banks to work together, locking in a simultaneous Banks Statement and Disarm-Her. Banks used Belair's hair to pull her into several knees before Belair countered and nearly got the win with a bridging pin.

Lynch made the save and then hit Banks with a Manhandle Slam only to have Belair break the pin. The action continued with wild swings in momentum before Lynch locked both women in the Disarm-Her simultaneously.

Belair came back moments later to hit the Kiss of Death on Lynch but wasn't able to get the pin as Banks tried to rush in to steal the pin. Lynch was able to then roll up Banks and grab the bottom rope -- legal in triple threat matches -- to score the pin and retain the title. After a somewhat clunky start to the match where everyone looked a little bit off their game, the momentum picked up for a very hot middle and final stretch.

Becky Lynch def. Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks to retain the title. Universal Championship -- Roman Reigns c vs. Brock Lesnar: Lesnar was able to hit an early German suplex before Reigns was able to escape the pressure by ducking outside of the ring.

On the floor, Reigns was able to drive Lesnar into the ring post and also dig a thumb to the eye to avoid an F Reigns dropped Lesnar with a Superman punch as Lesnar tried to re-enter the ring and followed up with a dive over the top rope onto Lesnar on the floor.

Reigns hit a spear for a two-count as the action returned to the ring, nearly picking up a very quick victory. Lesnar leaped over another Reigns spear attempt, sending Reigns crashing face-first into the ring post. Lesnar followed up by hitting an F-5, but Reigns was able to kick out of the pin. Lesnar kept up the pressure before hitting another F-5, though this time he also hit the referee, knocking him out.

As Lesnar tried to revive the ref, he turned into a Reigns spear, but again with the referee down. Paul Heyman threw the title belt between both men and yelled, "You know what to do with it. The Usos then ran in, hit a double superkick and Reigns laid out Lesnar with the belt before a second ref ran to the ring to make the count.

This was a fairly solid match that also did nothing to settle the issues between the men or the situation involving Heyman's loyalties. There's still a lot left to play out between Reigns and Lesnar. The overall rating here takes a hit for a fairly weak finish that hurt the action that came before. Edge and Orton made history as their match was the second-longest in the history of WrestleMania. This bout definitely needed a crowd to give these legends a must-needed boost.

It went on a little too long and they made use of their surroundings by battling around the Performance Center. Nonetheless, Edge prevailed, but he definitely deserved to have a live crowd to witness it. This was a fun six-man tag team match with all six competitors meshing really well and wanting to give the fans a great match. Surprisingly, Reigns was well received by the fans despite being a heel. In the midst of the chaos, The Bloodline prevailed with Jey rolling up Rey for the win.

The Royal Rumble match will forever be remembered for Edge's unexpected return to action. He reached the final four, but Roman Reigns brought an end to his fairytale run in which he received a chorus of boos. If Edge was going to headline WrestleMania for just the second time in his career, he was going to have to take the scenic route as the number one participant in the Royal Rumble match. His bitter rival Randy Orton entered second and the two battled back and forth.

Edge had a sublime performance. His best friend Christian returned for the first time in seven years and they had a heartfelt moment by embracing in the ring. The Rated-R Superstar only registered three eliminations, with Orton being the most important one as he secured his second Royal Rumble match victory, 11 years to the day after his triumph in They closed out Backlash a couple of months later in a match dubbed as "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever," which barely made any sense.

Of course, it wasn't the best match in wrestling history, but it was a competitive one. The two former WWE Champions knocked it out of the park in an energy-sapping match that lasted almost 50 minutes. It was eerie with the match occurring in the Performance Center, although there was a small attendance with talent acting like fans. Orton picked up the win, but it came at a price for Edge as he tore his triceps which ruled him out of action for seven months. This was the rightful main event to cap off a brilliant two nights of WrestleMania.

The Rated-R Superstar was at his very best and he was determined to add the Universal Championship to his collection. Jey Uso continued to be a thorn in Edge and Bryan's side as a constant presence. However, Edge made some unwanted history as he became the first man to win the Royal Rumble match twice and fail to win his title matches at 'Mania. The time World Champion faced off with fellow former multiple-time World Champion Seth Rollins at SummerSlam in arguably the match of the night.

Edge returned to his Brood roots in his entrance with The Brood music playing before "Metalingus" blared through the speakers.
