Early Sunday, the first night of the highly anticipated and massive WWE WrestleMania took place.
The night was main-evented by a real classic WrestleMania spirit game as the Rock, and Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes, who was pinned by the Rock, and Seth Rollins.
The game witnessed impressive storytelling and performance, especially by The Rock, whose performance was questioned by the fans before that game due to his absence away from the ring for long years.
