Rebooking EVERY WWE Pay Per View...EVER...

After interfering in the World Tag Team Title match a month before, The Samoan Fight Club were set to face both Cryme Tyme and The Colons for the belts in a triple threat match. Though the champs were on the ropes for much of the match, the six man free for all prevented any of the other teams from winning the titles at any point. Snuka hit his Superfly splash from the top on Primo, but walked right into a Backstabber from Carlito that took him out of the match. Manu then took out Carlito with a Samoan drop, only to be caught by a Drive-By Lariat from Shad Gaspard. JTG then followed that up with a Brooklyn Blockbuster to pick up the win and retain the titles.

Wrestlemania proper got underway with the Intercontinental Title on the line. The self-professed Gold Standard had been one of the few people to pin CM Punk since he arrived on Monday Night Raw from ECW, having done so in both a non-title match and in a six man tag match leading into Wrestlemania. In a highly athletic encounter, Benjamin seemingly had the match won after hitting CM Punk with his Paydirt finisher. But Punk was able to get his feet on the ropes, breaking the count. Punk then made a comeback after countering a top rope cross body with a dropkick, eventually hitting Benjamin with the GTS and retaining the title in a hard fought victory.

Chris Jericho and JBL had been feuding off and on for the better part of six months, with JBL having cost Jericho the WWE Title back in December, and Jericho stopping JBL from retiring Ric Flair in February, leading to this Orlando Street Fight between the two at Wrestlemania. Despite the hardcore environment favoring JBL, Jericho was able to outwrestle Bradshaw and utilize more of his high flying ability to eventually hit JBL with a Lionsault pick up the victory.

After Hardcore Holly had failed to win the ECW title on numerous occasions, his protege Cody Rhodes was given the opportunity at Wrestlemania. Despite his inexperience, Rhodes showed a level of in-ring awareness that belied his youth. However it would be outside interference that would dictate the outcome of the match, as Holly got into a fight with Morrison's tag team partner The Miz on the outside. This allowed the referee to miss an obvious pinfall when Rhodes had Morrison beat after a snap DDT. Rhodes went to get the referee, and when he came back Morrison caught Cody with a small package and picked up the surprise win to retain the title. After the match, a frustrated Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly had an argument, and when it seemed like cooler heads would prevail, Cody hit Holly with his own Alabama Slam finisher and left in anger.

The annual Money in the Bank match saw eight men try and win the golden ticket suspended high above the ring. In the early going, the match was down to the new US Champion Umaga and the World's Strongest Man Mark Henry, as they squared up to each other in an attempt to showcase dominance. In the end, Henry would take both of them out of the match with a powerful tackling spear through the barricade that left both men down and out. Every other competitor attempted to pick their spot, but most found their way into being cut off by other competitors. One memorable spot near the end saw MVP nearly grab the briefcase, only for Matt Hardy to deliver a Twist of Fate from the top of a ladder, taking them both out. This left Ted DiBiase Jr as the last man standing, as he tried to climb the ladder, only to meet Jeff Hardy who jumped from the top rope onto the ladder Spider-Man style to intercept the third generation star. Hardy then managed to suplex DiBiase off the top of the ladder, maintaining his balance long enough to grab the briefcase himself and pull it down, picking up the win.

The feud between Batista and Triple H seemingly had renewed itself at the Royal Rumble, when The Animal had eliminated The Game from the Rumble match. Batista then would go on to cost Triple H the WWE Championship as their war of words increased. Batista pointed out that Triple H had never beaten him, and that he hadn't won a world title since Batista took the World Heavyweight Championship from him three years earlier. The Game then challenged The Animal to a No Disqualification Match, to prove that he was the better man once and for all. A knock down drag out fight ensued with both men being busted open at various points in the match. Batista prepared to end the match with a Batista Bomb onto some steel steps, but Triple H was able to counter the move with a low blow. He then delivered a sledge hammer shot to the side of Batista's head before following up with a Pedigree to pick up the win.

Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder had won the WWE Tag Team Titles with the aide of William Regal and Shane McMahon in their ongoing feud with Rey Mysterio. With the luchadore otherwise occupied, The Big Red Machine Kane promised that he would find a new partner to take back the titles from the self-professed Edgeheads. As it turned out, Kane's partner would be the returning Big Show. The two giants easily crushed Hawkins and Ryder, hitting stereo chokeslams on the champions to easily win the titles. After the match, when Chavo Guerrero attempted to intervene, he ate a Right Hand of Doom from The Big Show and then ate a Tombstone from Kane for good measure.

The 2nd generation Diva Natalya Neidhart had debuted on Raw, earning a victory over Melina in a huge upset victory. Natalya was quickly recruited into the growing gang warfare between Michelle McCool's faction and that of Mickie James, eventually siding with James and her former rival Beth Phoenix, leading to this 8 Diva Tag Match. Amidst the all out brawl that the match turned into, a miscommunication between McCool and Ashley Massaro led to their downfall, as Massaro accidentally hit McCool with the Divas Title belt. Massaro was then tripped up by Natalya who locked in a Sharpshooter on the former champion, picking up the submission victory.

After costing The Undertaker the World Heavyweight Title at Elimination Chamber, Edge claimed that he was done fighting the Phenom. The Undertaker however played psychological mind games with the Rated R Superstar, offering him the chance to immortalize himself by being the one to end the Undertaker's vaunted Wrestlemania streak. Against Vickie Guerrero's wishes, Edge accepted the match. The two were evenly paced throughout, and it looked as if Edge might pull off the unbelievable when Hawkins and Ryder came back to ringside to help the leader of La Familia, but it only resorted in a two count. After several more back and forth minutes, Edge looked to hit one more Spear on The Deadman, only for The Undertaker to catch Edge in the Hell's Gate Submission hold. Edge fought to maintain consciousness, but eventually had to succumb, tapping out and giving The Undertaker yet another Wrestlemania win, and the World Heavyweight Title in the process.

Shortly after No Way Out, Shawn Michaels came out on an episode of Raw, lamenting the fact that he didn't have a Wrestlemania opponent. This open challenge was answered by Ric Flair, who challenged Michaels to a match. HBK was reluctant to accept the challenge, knowing that the next match Flair lost would be his last. Flair retorted by saying that if he couldn't beat the best, then he didn't deserve to be called The Man anymore, leading Michaels to accept the match. Flair fought valiantly, but Michaels clearly outclassed him for much of the match, only for Flair to refuse to stay down. Finally, Michaels appeared ready to hit Sweet Chin Music, only to hesitate, seemingly unwilling to end Flair's career. Flair staggered to his feet, demanding Michaels hit him. Michaels mouthed the words "I'm sorry, I love you" to Flair, before delivering the Superkick and getting the three count, ending the Nature Boy's career. After Michaels left, Flair got to his feet amidst tears and a standing ovation from the crowd, leaving to the back one final time.

At No Way Out, boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr had been the personal guest of Rey Mysterio and had gotten physically involved with both Shane McMahon and William Regal. Later that week on Smackdown, Mayweather was again in attendance, invited there by Shane McMahon. Shane-o-Mac challenged Mayweather to a fight in the ring, only to be knocked out in one punch. Raw GM Regal then invaded and ordered Mayweather be arrested, taking a pot shot at the champion as he was led away in handcuffs. Eventually the challenge was made for a tag match at Wrestlemania, with Regal teaming with Shane and Mysterio teaming with Mayweather, echoing the Wrestlemania 1 main event of Hogan and Mr. T facing Piper and Orndorff. Shane McMahon even tried to get the one up on his opponents by appointing Tampa native and WWE Hall of Famer Paul Orndorff to be the Special Guest Referee, thinking that he was in the back for Shane's team. Orndorff however proved to be a fair official, nullifying the younger McMahon's plans. Regal and Mysterio worked most of the match, but Mayweather eventually got in the ring with both men and mixed it up with them with a good amount of offense. In the end, Mayweather squared up to Shane when McMahon tried the Shane-o-Mac shuffle on him, only to take an uppercut that sent him sprawling into the ropes. Mysterio then hit the 619, while Mayweather climbed to the second rope and hit a flying clothesline to Shane that finally knocked him out, securing the pinfall win.
