The Undertaker extended his WrestleMania undefeated streak to 21-0 against his latest challenger C.M. Punk. At the age of 48, the “dead man” was part of the match of the night at WrestleMania 29.

Last night was not the best WrestleMania is history, but not the worst. The ultimately felt unsatisfying. There’s no one thing that was missing, but this definitely wasn’t an event that felt like the culmination of the past year’s stories. Sure, Triple HHH and Brock Lesnar’s feud goes back to last Summer, and the Rock versus Cena goes all the way back to WrestleMania 27, but those were two lackluster matches on a four-hour card. The show did leave us with a lot to talk about, so in that regard it was a success.

WrestleMania XXVIII set a Sun Life Stadium attendance record at 78,363 last night.

The biggest night of the wrestling year has come and gone, at least until tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw. The night after WrestleMania has a history of breaking new ground, and there are a lot of new directions possible for some superstars that came up short last night like Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes and of course, John Cena. There’s also the possibility that we’ll see The Rock, Undertaker and Shawn Michaels for one more night along with regular roster and the debut of Lord Tensai that we’ve seen teased in last few week. As John Laurinaitis takes over as the permanent General Manager of both Raw and Smackdown, WWE Champion C.M. Punk is likely to see more obstacles in his championship reign and he may not have seen the last of Chris Jericho.

Monday Night Raw comes live from Miami on the heels of WrestleMania XXVIII with the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony as a lead in. We’ll get into what went down at the “Showcase of the Immortals” and what we expect for tonight.

WrestleMania XXVIII begins in just a few short hours from Miami, Florida. We’ve been talking about the build up for weeks, and with the biggest night of the wrestling year finally here, it’s time to take a hard look at what’s on the card and see how this event stacks up with its predecessors. The Rock versus John Cena has dominated the promotion for this year’s show but it’s not where our attention is focused as C.M. Punk versus Chris Jericho is the clearly the match we’re most looking forward to tonight.

Read on for our picks for each of the nine matches scheduled along with a look back at where last week’s Raw from Altlanta, Georgia, left things heading into the next entry in the “Super Bowl of Sports Entertainment.”

This year’s WrestleMania has come and gone and while it wasn’t the greatest of all time, it was certainly good. If nothing else, the show had possibly the best presentation and production I’ve ever seen in terms of the ring entrance and staging. It makes sense since that is something they can improve upon every year regardless of who’s walking down the aisle and just about everything else. It really did look impressive and was worthy of WrestleMania even if there were some details of the show that weren’t.
