Ranking every WrestleMania of the last decade
It’s been one week since WrestleMania 33 and the only thing fans can agree on was the fact that it was a better show than WrestleMania 32.
Some fans claim the show was one of the best in years with a lot of memorable moments, while other fans were disappointed and believed the show could’ve been much better if the WWE did things differently
On one hand, AJ Styles, Bayley, Seth Rollins, Naomi, and Kevin Owens had their WrestleMania moments and registered significant wins under their belt. On the other hand, a lot of matches on the show were complete duds that bored the audience and brought down the enjoyment of the show.
Comparing WrestleMania 33 to WrestleMania 32 would be a bit too easy, considering how bad it was. Fans unanimously believe that WrestleMania 33 was superior to WrestleMania 32, but comparing ‘Mania 33 to every ‘Mania of the last decade puts a whole different spin on this year’s show.
Many fans claim that WrestleMania 32 was the worst show ever, but how does it compare to WrestleMania 27? Some fans even claimed that WrestleMania 33 was one of the greatest shows of the last few years but does it really compare to WrestleMania 28 or 31?
This decade has given us 11 WrestleManias and all of them have aspects that make them great, good, or bad. So this article will attempt to see how WrestleMania 33 stacks up against the other shows by look back at every WrestleMania from WrestleMania 23 in 2007 to WrestleMania 33 in 2017.
#11 WrestleMania 27
WrestleMania 27 had a few good matches such as Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio, Randy Orton vs. CM Punk, and Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio.
The match of the night would be the bout between Triple H and The Undertaker. However, the quality of the matches mentioned above was not enough to erase all the other lacklustre and/or terrible matches that would take place.
A promising mid card match between Daniel Bryan and Sheamus was bumped from the card and moved to a dark match. The Corre, a lesser version of The Nexus, lost a quick match against a random team comprised of Big Show, Kane, Kofi Kingston, and Santino Marella instead of being prominently featured.

The main event of the show was a boring match between John Cena and The Miz that was used to set up the main event of WrestleMania 28 with The Rock.
However, the biggest sin of the show was Michael Cole wrestling Jerry Lawler in a match that was way too long and way too boring. And to make matters worse, Cole won via disqualification after the Anonymous Raw General Manager reversed the decision.
Had the WWE booked the Nexus correctly back in 2010, this entire show could’ve been a lot better and WrestleMania 27 could’ve been the culmination of an invasion angle done right.
