John Cena becomes the WWE wrestler more decorated in history

Wrestlemania finished ending with John Cena making history by winning the World Wrestling Championship (WWE) for a record 17th time.

The victory over Cody Rhodes, who came following a surprise interference from rapper Travis Scott, means that Cena exceeded Ric Flair by winning more world titles than anyone in the history of the company.

Cena previously announced that he would retire At the end of 2025, which means it was the last Wrestlemania for the most decorated wrestler to have set foot in a WWE ring (although most never know how to fight).

Other new champions were crowned in the middle of other twists and turns, but not more significant than the last weekend game.

It was a historic night for many reasons, in particular that it was the first Wrestlemania to broadcast live on Netflix, where it could be watched by many subscribers of the company around the world.

The company has paid a nice penny for privilege – an agreement of $ 10 billion $ 5 billion (4 billion pounds sterling) to provide weekly WWE and monthly events in the streaming service (although not all territories can see).

The experience of Netflix has broadcast WWE programs since January – he says that the first live show took Just under five million views – seemed to pay dividends while Wrestlemania was largely disseminated without seed.

And the companies had an even greater argument to ensure that its first bell is sound, when WWE announced that it had acquired Lucha Libre Aaa Worldwide, one of the biggest Mexican struggle promotions.

But fans will say that all this is good and Dandy – what matters is what is happening between the strings.

And on this front, there would be few disappointed people.

The show could be considered two main events – one on Saturday and another Sunday – and the program of the first night presented three of the biggest WWE stars.

Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and CM Punk met in a match that the company presented as a generational, largely due to the 46 -year -old punk which finally reached its first main event in Wrestlemania.

The fans were firmly behind Punk to start, and the match was up to invoicing – a fierce war with many moments and false finishes before a series of twists and turns led to Rollins standing.

The weekend had started with a story of well-being while Jey Uso defeated Gunther for the world heavyweight championship, the other main men’s titles are fighting with WWE.

The more than 60,000 fans present were not disappointed because USO won its very first world title to open the show on Saturday – which did it, improving the professional achievements of his father, the 90s and 00, Rikishi.

It was not the only time to celebrate the heritage – Dominik Mysterio, the son of WWE legend, Rey Mysterio, won the Intercontinental championship to mark his very first title in the company.

The title changes have not stopped there, with the new day (Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston) beating war raiders, and Jacob Fatu won his very first WWE title by beating the popular Knight for the United States US championship.

But the great moments were not limited to titles that change hands.

It turned out to be a massive weekend for WWE women, who had a hard time being mistaken in title matches, rivalries and a major return for a favorite of fans.

First of all, Becky Lynch, one of the most popular women to have ever fought in the company, made a surprise return after a year out of action, with its appearance pulling tears of some in the live crowd.

Lynch’s return was a winning effort, winning the women’s team championships with Lyra Valkyria, beating the Champions Liv Morgan and Rodriguez.

WWE fans had already been entitled to several excellent games at this stadium, with Jade Cargill – who joined the company Rivale AEW a year ago – beating Naomi on Saturday before Tiffany Stratton was facing Charlotte Flair in a fierce fight for the women’s world championship.

Stratton defeated Flair to defend his title in what looked like a proverbial discount of the torch of one of the most decorated champions of WWE with new blood halfway through his first title.

Sunday, the live crowd was standing for the opening between Iyo Sky, Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair for the Women’s World Championship.

Sky was able to successfully defend its title in what was a showcase for the three women, which some online have already labeled “An instant classic“.

But it was not entirely sailed for WWE.

Although the show was well received by fans for action in the ring, something that did not go unnoticed was the quantity of advertisements throughout the event.

Brand names written on the ring canvas and a brand of sports drinks synonymous with YouTuber that has become-wrestler Logan Paul, which faced AJ Styles on Sunday, has become a common part of WWE furniture in recent years.

But this Wrestlemania seemed to pack in advertisements much more than in previous years, with A fan saying it was “Difficult to focus even” on the action, and Another who even calls him “Ad-Mania”.

The advertisements were even anchored in elements of the presentation itself, with several wrestlers heading towards the ring in special costumes designed to promote video games.

And everything that is before the advertising breaks that divided the event.

But it should be recalled that for those who already had a Netflix subscription, it is the first Wrestlemania that they will not have to pay additional money to see.

Although this event is often presented as a centerpiece with the cup final, there is a big difference – tomorrow, WWE will continue with the next chapter of its endless soap.

And although the impression that Netflix bosses boil down to pure numbers, fans will surely be satisfied with what they saw in the ring this weekend.
