"Ladies and gentlemen good evening
You've seen that seeing is believing
Your ears and your eyes will be bleeding

By the wonders you're about to behold here

Welcome to the show
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen

Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?
Boom
Let me hear it
Ladies and gentlemen."
============================

Welcome to the global phenomenon!
Pyros shoot all around the arena, eventually leading to the stage where a massive load of fireworks shoot from the entrance ramp and stage. Raw, Smackdown and ECW's announcers welcome us to the worldwide wrestling extravaganza, Wrestlemania!

Match #1
Tag Team Turmoil
WGTT vs Cryme Tyme vs HooliganZ vs MNM
A great way to start off Mania. All four teams went out simply to prove they are the cream of the crop as far as tag teams in the WWE. Benjamin targeted Kendricks knee, which he sold well all match. Cryme Tyme had little to do all match, and did not get much action as far as spots go. MNM hit the Snapshot on Paul London and picked up a great win for MNM.
Winners: MNM

If push comes to shove...
Edge and Randy Orton are shown getting ready for Money In The Bank backstage. Edge tells Orton if need be, he will go through Orton to get the title shot.

Match #2
New Breed vs ECW Originals
Elijah Burke, Kevin Thorn, Matt Striker & Marcus Cor Von vs Sandman, RVD, Tommy Dreamer & Sabu
The Breed walked into Wrestlemania with a purpose and that purpose seems to have been fulfilled. With the team of Matt Striker, Marcus Cor Von, Kevin Thorne and Elijah Burke facing Rob Van Dam, Sandman, Sabu and Tommy Dreamer, it showed that the younger generation used their intelligence, agility, and pure strength to over power the Originals. With the match being contested under Extreme Rules and also an elimination match, the match didn't stay in the ring for long and was scattered around the arena and ringside. Sandman took a shining to caning the life out of Cor Von and chasing him up the entrance ramp swinging like a mad man. Sabu was wiped out early in the match after attempting an Arabian Facebuster from the top turnbuckle to the outside, which failed after Striker moved out of the way just in time. He then dragged Sabu up and DDT'd him onto a steel chair to ensure he was out for the 3 count. It was now 3 on 2. RVD and Dreamer put up a fight, but soon fell victim to a four on two handicap after Cor Von came back to the arena. The Sandman was pictured backstage laying in a heap with broken shards of table around him. RVD and Dreamer managed to take care of Thorne who was the lamb to the slaughter of the Breed. Dreamer used a vicious chair shot to Thorne and RVD used a massive Frog Splash to eliminate Thorne to make it 3 on 2 again. With the handicap lowered, the Originals still fell short after Cor Von was tagged in and dominated the rest of the match. He teamed up with Burke to perform a move which was amazing. Cor Von picked Dreamer up into the powerbomb position and Burke nailed an amazing leg drop from the top leaving RVD to fend for himself against the Animal; Cor Von, The Brains; Striker and The Future; Burke. All three men then climbed into the ring and used him as their play thing. RVD got some offense by nailing Cor Von with a low blow, and then started taking on Burke and Striker, before it got too much and Striker nailed him from behind with a chair to the back. Burke then struck RVD with the Elijah Experience, and was going for the pin before Cor Von dragged himself back in with a table. Striker set the table up in the corner and Burke whipped RVD into the ropes and Cor Von got a head of speed and sent RVD flying through the table with the Pounce. Burke then happily stuck his foot on RVD's chest and posed triumphant as the New Breed recorded a victory at ECW's first ever appearance at Wrestlemania.
Winners: New Breed

Match #3
WWE United States Championship
Chris Benoit (c) vs Montel Vontavious Porter
Benoit took early advantage of the match, hitting MVP with a series of suplexes and takedowns, the referee was knocked down late in the match and MVP gave Benoit a low blow, MVP rolled him up, held the tights... the referee revived and the match was awarded to the youngster.
Winner by Pinfall and NEW United States Champion: Montel Vontavious Porter

Match #4
WWE Womens Championship
Melina (c) vs Ashley
Both women put in their all, but Melina looked the much better wrestler of the two. Ashley was the firm fan favorite, but Melina got some pops here and there. Melina tried to end it quickly, but Ashley just won't stay down. Melina then puts her feet on the bottom rope and gets three. As Melina was celebrating up the ramp, Mickie James ran down the ramp and threw Melina back in the ring. Ashley then ripped off Melina's top, exposing her breasts! After the wardrobe malfunction, Melina quickly covered up and ran to the back. Ashley then posed for the crowd in the ring.
Winner and still champion: Melina

Match #5
Money In The Bank
Edge vs CM Punk vs Randy Orton vs Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy vs Finlay vs King Booker vs Ken Kennedy
All 8 men are as hungry as can be to get that title shot that can be used within the next 12 months. Finlay was on the attack early, swinging his fists at anything that moved. By no time, there was already 2 ladders in the ring. CM Punk and Edge were jocking for position on one ladder, while Jeff Hardy and Kennedy were doing so on the other. Edge and Punk both got knocked off the ladder, leaving Jeff and Kennedy on one under the belt. Edge positions the ladder on the other side of the ring, as the commentators have no idea what he is doing. Jeff kicks Kennedy off the ladder, and goes for the briefcase. The ladder is taken from under him, and he is literally hanging from the briefcase. Edge comes flying off the ladder and spears Jeff, who is hanging by the briefcase, shades of Wrestlemania 17! With everyone down, Matt Hardy makes his way up the ladder. At the top, he is greeted by Randy Orton. They both exchange fists, before Orton gets the advantage. Out of nowhere, Orton his the RKO off the ladder! Edge capitalizes on the carnage, and makes his way up the ladder and unhooks the briefcase. Edge is once again Mr. Money In The Bank!
Winner: Edge

Match #6
Hair vs Hair
Umaga w/ Mr. McMahon vs Bobby Lashley w/ Donald Trump
Special Referee: Stone Cold Steve Austin
It was a real battle of the monsters the whole way through. Stone Cold called it right down the middle the whole match. Umaga looked to get Lashley out of his comfort zone, by keeping Bobby grounded as much as possible. Lashley exploded out of nowhere, and hit a running powerslam to pick up the win.
Winner: Lashley

Monster vs Monster; Hair vs Hair
A video is played, hyping the next match between Umaga and Bobby Lashley.

A new "do" for Vinnie Mac
Vince looked on is disbelief. As he tried to run to the backstage area, Stone Cold dragged him to the barbers chair sitting on the side of the stage. Vince squirmed for him life, so Austin gave him a Stunner on the steel ramp! He then tied Mr. McMahon into the barbers chair, and then gave Donald Trump the honor of shaving his head bald. Trump slapped Vince to wake him up. A mirror was put in front of McMahon, as his eyes almost popped out of his head, in classic Mr. McMahon fashion.

15-0? 14-1?

Batista (c) defends against Undertaker
Batista was completely torn apart by the Wrestlemania crowd, Undertaker got one of the largest pops in Wrestlemania history. Batista took everything Undertaker had and kept coming back, he was eventually looking to get the victory with a Spinebuster, but Undertaker got the shoulder up. Batista went for a Batista Bomb but Undertaker backdropped him out. Taker then hit a Chokeslam, Last Ride and Tombstone before pinning Batista.
Winner by Pinfall and NEW World Champion: Undertaker

Match #8
WWE Championship
John Cena (c) vs Shawn Michaels
Even though HBK recently turned heel, his reception was amazing. Just about everyone in the arena and watching at home had chills as Michaels prepared to steal the show once again. Cena got a mixed reaction, but he looked focused as usual. Throughout the match, both men brought their A games. Cena showed he can put on a great match, and Michaels definitely did steal the show once again. Michaels hit a thunderous superkick, or "Sweet Chin Music" to pick up the 3 count, and regain the WWE Championship. HBK celebrated with pyros going around the ring as Wrestlemania went off the air.
Winner and NEW WWE Champion: Shawn Michaels
