WRESTLEMANIA XXIX: A NIGHT TO REMEMBER AT METLIFE STADIUM
East Rutherford, NJ - April 7, 2013 - The grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania XXIX, came to life at the iconic MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. In front of a packed house of over 80,000 enthusiastic fans, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) delivered an unforgettable evening of sports entertainment.
The Shield Proves Its Worth
In the opening bout, The Shield trio of Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins faced off against Randy Orton, Sheamus, and Big Show in a thrilling Six-Man Tag Team Match. The Shield's high-flying attacks and Orton's cunning strikes kept the crowd on their toes. In the end, it was The Shield who emerged victorious, pinning Sheamus to secure the win (10:33).
Henry's Power Too Much for Ryback
Next up, Mark Henry looked to assert his dominance against Ryback in a Singles Match. Henry's sheer strength proved too much for Ryback, as he delivered a thunderous powerslam en route to the victory (8:02).
Team Hell No Retains
In the first title match of the evening, WWE Raw Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan and Kane (Team Hell No) put their titles on the line against Big E. Langston and Dolph Ziggler. The action was fast-paced and hard-hitting, with Team Hell No ultimately retaining their championships via a series of vicious kicks and a pinning combination (6:17).
Fandango's Surprise Win
