Spoiler Primo & Epico retained the tag titles. The dark match was only 10 minutes long. So maybe a half hour till the first match.
Spoiler 4/1 Powell's WWE WrestleMania 28 results and review: The Rock vs. John Cena, The Undertaker vs. Triple H in a Hell in a Cell match with Shawn Michaels as special referee, C.M. Punk vs. Chris Jericho for the WWE Championship 1. Primo and Epico (w/Rosa Mendes) beat Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd and The Uso Brothers to retain the WWE Tag Titles in 5:05. Powell's POV: A crowd pleasing opening match with lots of high flying. It was nice to see the tag straps at WrestleMania even if they were defended on the dark match. Oh, and Rosa jiggled afterwards. Sadly, WWE production made the horrible decision of replaying the finish and interrupted the jiggling display.
Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus to start Wrestlemania off tonight. I've been looking forward this one, i'm a big Danielson fan.
It is bullcrap, the crowd just got cheated. It's not like paying for a UFC/Boxing event and getting a quick knockout. They can actually control this, and that was one of the only good scheduled fights on this crap butt card. I'd be pissed.
Spoiler 4/1 Powell's WWE WrestleMania 28 results and review: The Rock vs. John Cena, The Undertaker vs. Triple H in a Hell in a Cell match with Shawn Michaels as special referee, C.M. Punk vs. Chris Jericho for the WWE Championship 1. Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan to win the World Hvt. Championship in 0:18. Powell's POV: Dark match last year, one move this year. The live crowd popped big for the title change, but it was a big disappointment to those of us who have been waiting for a real WrestleMania match between the two. I suppose the good news is that Bryan didn't lose anything by losing in this fashion. The bad news is that Sheamus didn't look strong by winning in this manner.
Funny, the crowd has a "Daniel Bryan" chant going at the start of the next match. You see all the "Yes!" signs? I don't think the WWE trusts in the potential of Daniel Bryan. They need to add the next layer and get him legit wins. Meanwhile Orton and Kane lumber on....
There's way more to that Daniel Bryan story, 1) it was first match. 2) it ended in 1 move. Either he is in big trouble with something or he suffered some kind of injury recently and they just wanted to get it out of the way quickly.

Punk vs. Chris Jericho for the WWE Championship Kane defeated Randy Orton in 11:00. Powell's POV: Wow, I didn't see Orton losing clean. The match started slow and had a lot of Twitter followers grumbling, but it was fine once they got going.
