WWE WrestleMania 29 Results
Posted on April 7th, 2013 by Cassidy Haslett
The Champ is Here Again.
365 days a year and, one night every year, legends and moments are
made on “The Grandest Stage of Them All” and, for the 29th year in a
row, WWE presents the global sports entertainment juggernaut,
WrestleMania as WrestleMania 29 came to you, live on pay-per-view, from
the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. One year of turmoil, both
personal and professional, has chipped away at the seemingly unflinching
John Cena. Drastic changes in his life and career has made Cena more
intense and determined than ever before and the sole reason for all of
this centers around one man, The Rock, as, ever since last year’s
WrestleMania, John Cena’s career has been in a tailspin and the only
way, in Cena’s mind, to get back on the right track is by defeating “The
Great One” on the grand stage of WrestleMania and taking what The Rock
holds dear, the WWE Championship. After eighteen years, thirteen World
Titles, and more memorable matches and moments than a person can count,
the legendary career of “The Game” could come to an abrupt and violent
end at WrestleMania as WWE COO Triple H puts his career on the line
against the ruthless, unforgiving beast known as Brock Lesnar in a No
Holds Barred Match, but “The Cerebral Assassin” will not be alone as his
good friend and former tag team partner, Shawn Michaels, will be in
Triple H’s corner in the most important match of Triple H’s storied
career. “Disrespect” does not even begin to describe how CM Punk has
treated the memory of the late, great Paul Bearer as, for the past
month, the self-proclaimed “Best in the World” has done everything from
mock the legendary manager to stealing the symbolic urn that Bearer
cared for on behalf of his son and client, The Undertaker. Punk even
took it way over the line by emptying the contents of the urn all over
“The Phenom” and even coating himself in the contents. While the
dastardly deeds of CM Punk have certainly angered The Undertaker like
never before, has the cunning Punk planted the seeds for a technical
victory over The Undertaker at WrestleMania? As Punk revealed himself,
if The Undertaker gets disqualified or counted out, then that counts as a
loss on The Undertaker’s flawless record at WrestleMania! Will CM Punk
use this technicality to make the impossible possible by ending the
undefeated streak of The Undertaker? Ever since making his return a
couple of months ago, Jack Swagger has been on a tear in the WWE as “The
Real American” has been fueled by the desire to “fix” America, all
seemingly pumped into Swagger’s mind by the self-professed “Founding
Father” Zeb Colter and, in the eyes of Jack Swagger & Zeb Colter,
World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio is a representation of the
illegal immigration issue in America, accusing Del Rio of taking
advantage of the opportunities presented to him by the United States of
America. After weeks of insulting the champion and breaking the ankle of
Del Rio’s friend, Ricardo Rodriguez, Del Rio will certainly be out for
revenge when he defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Jack
Swagger. Will Alberto Del Rio avenge Ricardo Rodriguez and retain his
title or will Jack Swagger take the World Heavyweight Title away from
Del Rio and usher in an era of “Jack Swagger’s America”? In WWE history,
there have been some titanic face-offs and there will be another at
WrestleMania as two powerhouses will clash as “The Sin City Cyborg”
Ryback goes one-on-one with “The World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry.
Since their unexpected arrival in November, The Shield has run roughshod
over the WWE, taking out countless Superstars and remaining undefeated
along the way, but at WrestleMania, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, &
Roman Reigns would encounter their toughest challenge to date as The
Shield faces the super-team of “The Celtic Warrior” Sheamus, “The Viper”
Randy Orton, & “The World’s Largest Athlete” Big Show in a 6-Man
Tag Match. Can The Shield of Justice reign supreme in their first outing
on “The Grandest Stage of Them All” or will Big Show, Sheamus, &
Randy Orton loosen the grip that The Shield has on the WWE? In a rivalry
born out of troublesome relationships in AJ Lee’s past, the WWE Tag
Team Titles would be up for grabs at WrestleMania as Team Hell No, Kane
& Daniel Bryan, defend their titles against “Mr. Money-in-the-Bank”
Dolph Ziggler & Big E. Langston. The dancing enigma known as
Fandango may have picked a fight with the wrong man as, after weeks of
attacks on Chris Jericho, Fandango would make his in-ring and
WrestleMania debut as he goes one-on-one with the six-time World
Champion “Y2J” Chris Jericho. Also, in an 8-Person Mixed Tag Match, the
team known as Tons of Funk, Brodus Clay & Tensai, team with The
Funkadactyls, Cameron & Naomi, to face Team Rhodes Scholars &
The Bella Twins.

Detailed Results
“The Showcase of the Immortals” kicks off with a major league 6-Man
Tag Match as the super-team of “The Celtic Warrior” Sheamus, “The Viper”
Randy Orton, & “The World’s Largest Athlete” Big Show collides with
Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, & Roman Reigns, the dangerous and
undefeated trio known as The Shield. Despite dominating The Shield for
much of the match, The Shield would manage to regroup and take out both
Randy Orton and Sheamus on the outside of the ring, but when Dean
Ambrose, Seth Rollins, & Roman Reigns try for the three-man
powerbomb on Sheamus, Big Show hits a Spear on Dean Ambrose, breaking up
the powerbomb attempt. Shortly after this, Sheamus crawls to try and
make a tag to Big Show, but Orton takes the tag away from Big Show.
Orton then takes control of the match, catching Seth Rollins in mid-air
with the RKO, but before Orton could capitalize, Roman Reigns hits a
Spear on Orton and, as Big Show watches from the ring apron, doing
nothing to break up the pin, Dean Ambrose pins Randy Orton to pick up
the win for The Shield. After the match, the super-team immediately
falls apart as, after an argument between Big Show and Randy Orton, Big
Show levels Sheamus with the K.O. Punch, followed soon by a K.O. Punch
to Orton, leaving both men laid out in the ring.
In a titanic clash of two powerhouses, “The Sin City Cyborg” Ryback
would finally get his hands on “The World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry as
the two super heavyweights squared off at WrestleMania. While Mark
Henry would manage to dominate Ryback for the majority of the match,
Ryback would manage to fight back, but when Ryback goes for Shell
Shocked on Mark Henry, Ryback is unable to deliver the finisher to Mark
Henry as Henry grabs the top rope, using it to force his weight down on
Ryback, making “The Sin City Cyborg” collapse under Mark Henry’s weight
before Henry then pins Ryback for the win! After the match, Mark Henry
tries to deal even more damage to Ryback, but Ryback fights back,
slamming Henry with a spinebuster before hoisting “The World’s Strongest
Man” up and delivering Shell Shocked!
Then it was time for the first title match on “The Show of Shows” as
Team Hell No, Kane & Daniel Bryan, defend the WWE Tag Team Titles
against “Mr. Money-in-the-Bank” Dolph Ziggler & Big E. Langston,
with AJ Lee in their corner. After failing to use the Money-in-the-Bank
briefcase to his advantage against Kane, Dolph Ziggler would be dropped
with a chokeslam by “The Big Red Monster”, followed up with the flying
headbutt by Daniel Bryan as Bryan pins Ziggler to successfully retain
the WWE Tag Team Titles.
Then it was time for Fandango to dance his way onto the WrestleMania
stage for the first time ever as “The Dancing Enigma” would make a grand
entrance with his lovely dance partner as Fandango would go one-on-one
with the six-time World Champion and WrestleMania veteran, “Y2J” Chris
Jericho. During an intense, back-and-forth battle, Fandango would hit
the leg drop off of the top rope, but Jericho would manage to kick out.
After avoiding a second and third attempt at the leg drop, Chris Jericho
would go for the Lionsault on Fandango, but Fandango would get his
knees up and Jericho would land awkwardly on his knee. Jericho then goes
for the Walls of Jericho on Fandango, but Fandango counters, surprising
Jericho with a roll-up to pick up the upset win in his WrestleMania
debut!
Following a live performance from the Grammy Award-winning Sean
“Diddy” Combs, it was then time for the World Heavyweight Championship
to be decided as Alberto Del Rio, with the still-hobbled Ricardo
Rodriguez in his corner, defends the World Heavyweight Title against the
self-proclaimed “Real American” Jack Swagger, with Zeb Colter in his
corner. During the intense match, Alberto Del Rio looked to have the
victory secured, but Zeb Colter would put Jack Swagger’s foot on the
bottom rope during a pin attempt, keeping Swagger in the match. Ricardo
Rodriguez then makes his way around the ring to Colter, but Zeb kicks
the crutch out from under Rodriguez, knocking Ricardo down. Del Rio then
jumps to the outside, threatening to hit Colter with a crutch, but
Swagger would protect Colter, hammering Del Rio from behind. After both
men narrowly made it back in the ring before the referee’s ten-count,
Del Rio would catch Swagger with the cross armbreaker, forcing “The Real
American” to tap out to successfully retain the World Heavyweight
Title.
Then it was time for the undefeated WrestleMania streak of The
Undertaker to be put to the test as, after weeks of disrespecting the
memory of Paul Bearer, the self-proclaimed “Best in the World” CM Punk,
with Paul Heyman in his corner, would go one-on-one with the angry and
vengeful “Phenom” The Undertaker. During the intense match, CM Punk
would mock The Undertaker by successfully hitting the signature Old
School maneuver on its innovator, but when Punk goes for a second Old
School, Undertaker counters before knocking Punk to the outside. The
Undertaker then goes for a dive to the outside, but Paul Heyman gets on
the ring apron, distracting Undertaker long enough for Punk to regain
the advantage in the match. Shortly after this, The Undertaker is able
to catch Punk with a thunderous chokeslam, but Punk manages to kick out.
After exchanging some of their best moves, the match spills to the
outside of the ring as Punk takes the Spanish announce table apart.
However, The Undertaker catches Punk, attempting to put Punk through the
table with the Last Ride, but Punk fights out of it, delivering a kick
to Undertaker and laying him prone on the table. Punk then comes off of
the top rope with an elbow drop to The Undertaker and the announce table
does not even budge an inch! After hitting the huge elbow drop, Punk
manages to get back into the ring and, at a count of nine, Undertaker
barely rolls back into the ring, keeping the match going.
Punk then crawls over to try and pin Undertaker, but The Undertaker
tries to catch Punk in Hell’s Gate. Punk manages to avoid getting locked
in the maneuver, countering Undertaker and locking in the Anaconda
Vise. Undertaker then stands up with the Anaconda Vise still locked in,
trying to deliver another chokeslam to Punk. However, Punk hits the GTS
on The Undertaker, but Undertaker uses the momentum gained from catching
himself on the ropes to come right back at Punk, drilling Punk with the
Tombstone Piledriver, but Punk manages to kick out! After brawling with
one another, Undertaker goes for the chokeslam again and, as Punk
flails his arms around trying to fight out of the chokeslam, he
inadvertently knocks the referee down. Shortly after this, Undertaker
goes for the Last Ride on CM Punk, but Paul Heyman hands the urn to
Punk, who drives it into the skull of The Undertaker! Punk then goes for
the pin on Undertaker as the referee slowly makes his way to try and
make the count, but Undertaker kicks out before three! Punk then goes
for the GTS on The Undertaker again, but Undertaker counters it into a
Tombstone attempt and Punk counters again. Finally, The Undertaker
counters the GTS again, spiking Punk with the Tombstone Piledriver to
finally put CM Punk down for the three-count, successfully going 21-0 at
WrestleMania! After the match, The Undertaker regains the legendary
urn, setting it in the center of the ring and getting down on one knee,
doing his signature pose and paying homage to the late, great Paul
Bearer before Undertaker exits the ring with urn in hand, momentarily
stopping on the stage to raise his fist in the air.
After eighteen years in the WWE, WrestleMania 29 could very well
prove to be the final WrestleMania for Triple H as an active competitor
as, with Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels in his corner, thirteen-time World
Champion “The Game” Triple H would collide with the unforgiving beast
known as Brock Lesnar, with Paul Heyman in his corner, in a No Holds
Barred Match and, if Triple H loses, his wrestling career will be over.
It wouldn’t take long for the No Holds Barred stipulation to become a
factor as, on the outside of the ring, Brock Lesnar sends Triple H over
the ringside barricade before grabbing a steel chair. However, Triple H
would clothesline Lesnar off of the top of the ringside barricade with
Brock landing on his head. After spending a couple of minutes in the
ring, the fight would resume on the outside of the ring as Brock hits a
belly-to-belly suplex on Triple H onto the arena floor. Then, without
hesitation, Brock lifts Triple H up and drives him through the Spanish
announce table with a suplex! Triple H then tries to fight back, but
Brock sends Triple H onto the rubble of the broken announce table with a
hip toss before dragging Triple H back into the ring. Lesnar then takes
his time in picking apart Triple H and, while “The Game” manages to hit
the high knee on Lesnar, Brock knocks Triple H right back down. Triple H
would continue to try and fight back, but Brock would keep halting
Triple H from gaining any momentum by ravishing Triple H with suplex
after suplex. After Triple H manages to get a few right hands in on
Lesnar, Brock sends Triple H to the outside, right in front of Shawn
Michaels.
Lesnar then heads to the outside, backing Shawn Michaels up away from
Triple H, but the distraction allows Triple H to take advantage as he
sends Lesnar over the ringside barricade. Triple H then uses a steel
chair, driving it into the spine of Lesnar before “The Game” rolls Brock
back into the ring, but Lesnar still refuses to let Triple H take
advantage as Brock hits a German suplex with a bridge on Triple H, but
Triple H kicks out. Both Paul Heyman and Shawn Michaels then get on the
ring apron, which results in Brock knocking HBK off of the ring apron.
Triple H then goes for the Pedigree on Lesnar, but Lesnar counters,
hoisting Triple H up for the F-5. Shawn Michaels then gets involved,
trying to hit Sweet Chin Music on Lesnar, but Lesnar blocks the kick
before putting the Hall of Famer down with the F-5! Triple H then hits
the Pedigree on Brock, but Lesnar kicks out, so Triple H retrieves a
sledgehammer, but before he can use it, he is caught with the F-5 of
Brock Lesnar! However, Triple H still kicks out and, soon, the fight
heads back to the outside of the ring. Brock then takes apart the steel
steps, using the top half of the stairs as a weapon, driving the steel
into the skull of Triple H! The remorseless monster then tosses the
larger bottom half of the steps into the ring before bringing Triple H
back in before Lesnar uses the larger steps, driving the steel into the
shoulder of Triple H, but “The Game” still refuses to quit! Brock then
screams at Triple H to “retire”, but Triple H slaps Lesnar across the
face, which leads to Brock locking in the Kimura Lock on Triple H,
trying to break the arm of Triple H for a third time. However, Triple H
manages to break out of the move twice in a row before Lesnar locks the
Kimura Lock for a third time, this time seating himself on the top rope
and wrapping his legs around the torso of Triple H! “The Cerebral
Assassin” then uses his strength to lift Brock up, hitting a modified
spinebuster on Lesnar to break out of the hold. Triple H then utilizes a
low blow to regain the advantage in the No Holds Barred contest before
“The Game” pulls Lesnar to the corner of the ring, slamming Brock’s arm
into the steel ring post. Triple H then grabs a steel chair, sandwiching
Lesnar’s arm between the chair and the ring post! Back in the ring,
Triple H uses the chair again, this time sandwiching Lesnar’s arm
between the steel chair and the steel steps!
Triple H then uses Lesnar’s own Kimura Lock against him and, with his
client clearly in trouble, Paul Heyman would scramble into the ring,
trying to get to the steel chair, but Shawn Michaels would put an end to
it by dropping Heyman with Sweet Chin Music! After repeatedly coming
close to tapping out, Lesnar manages to stand up with the Kimura Lock
still locked in, dropping Triple with a spinebuster on the steel steps,
but Triple H manages to quickly lock the Kimura Lock in again before
Brock again drops Triple H on the steel with a spinebuster! Determined
to break the arm of Brock Lesnar, Triple H locks in the Kimura Lock for a
third time and, yet again, Brock stands up with the move locked in,
but, this time, Triple H grabs the head of Lesnar, driving Brock’s skull
into the steel steps! Triple H then crawls to retrieve his
sledgehammer, squarely driving it into Brock’s skull. Realizing that it
will take more than a sledgehammer shot to put Lesnar down, Triple H
drives Lesnar’s skull into the steel steps again, this time with a
thunderous Pedigree! Triple H then pins Brock Lesnar, finally defeating
the monster and surviving WrestleMania 29 with his career intact!
Fellow WWE Hall of Famer Howard Finkel then introduces the WWE Hall
of Fame Class of 2013 as “The Hardcore Legend” Mick Foley, the five-time
WCW Champion Booker T, the seven-time Women’s Champion Trish Stratus,
the second longest reigning WWE Champion of all-time Bob Backlund,
celebrity inductee Donald Trump, and the longest reigning champion in
the history of men’s professional wrestling, “The Living Legend” Bruno
Sammartino all take a bow at “The Showcase of the Immortals”.
With a crowd of 80,767 fans packing the MetLife Stadium, it was time
for the main event of WrestleMania 29 as the WWE Championship would be
on the line in an intense, career-changing rematch as “The People’s WWE
Champion” The Rock would defend the most prestigious championship in the
history of the sport against the ten-time former champion, John Cena.
Throughout the match, The Rock and John Cena would exchange their best
moves, even using their opponent’s finishers against them. After kicking
out of the Rock Bottom, John Cena repeatedly goes for the Attitude
Adjustment, but The Rock continues to counter the move. After dropping
Cena with a DDT, The Rock would go for another Rock Bottom, but Cena
would counter, finally hitting the Attitude Adjustment on The Rock to
pin The Rock and become the brand new WWE Champion for the eleventh time
in his career! After the match, the new champion and the former
champion face-off in the center of the ring, exchanging words and
shaking hands before embracing each other in a show of respect. John
Cena then leaves the ring, allowing The Rock to stand alone in the
spotlight as The Rock says “thank you” to the fans in attendance before
The Rock exits the ring, taking the time to greet his family and the
fans in the front row. The Rock then meets new champion John Cena at the
top of the ramp as both men salute each other before The Rock raises
the hand of the brand new WWE Champion, passing the torch and putting
John Cena back into the spotlight on the biggest night of Cena’s career.
