Final Grades: Winners and Losers From WM 42

With the WrestleMania behind us, it's time for this weekend’s winners and losers. Here we go:

Winners

  • Oba Femi: Biggest winner, is already insanely over and slayed the biggest beast in wrestling.
  • Brock Lesnar: Ended his career in the most generous way possible, and got the send-off he deserved.
  • CM Punk: His first and likely last Sunday WM Main Event was nothing short of spectacular, putting on an epic with Roman that only highlighted that he should’ve had 5+ of those.
  • Jade Cargill: A trash build, but she showed up and shined in her biggest match of her career. She lost, but proved she belongs in the main event.
  • Penta: Won over even the biggest haters with an incredible performance in the six-man ladder match, including two Mexican Destroyers that look like they murdered his opponent (without actually murdering them).

 

Losers

  • ESPN: Between the commercials, thinking that Pat McAfee would sell tickets, and the high sub price, the company has become wrestling’s top heel. 
  • Cody Rhodes: All you need to know—him getting punted in the head was the biggest pop of Saturday night. 
  • Stephanie Vaquer: Her first main roster loss should’ve been a big deal. Instead, it was over in 7 minutes, her role little more than a supporting character to a Liv Morgan coronation. 
  • Sami Zayn: Lost his title and all standing with the audience, as seemingly overnight he’s become one of the most detested men in the WWE.
  • The Vision: Can we just end this already?

Did I miss anything?

Who are you rooting for this weekend that nobody else is rooting for? I'll go first.

It's not even because I'm a massive Jade fan (although I do believe her best angles are yet to come), but because I'm legitimately worried about Rhea Ripley and don't think the weight of a title run is ideal for her right now.

This makes me think he’s going to lose?

Feels like it sets up a bigger story if he does
