WrestleMania never fails to disappoint and No. 33 certainly did not. There were a number of high profile matches lined up, including eight titles being on the line. The biggest surprise of the night was no doubt the return of The Hardy Boyz (Matt and Jeff Hardy), who were a last minute addition to the WWE Raw tag team match.

Seth Rollins and Triple H continued their rivalry in a non-sanctioned match after Rollins signed a contract to make the match official on the previous episode of Raw despite his knee injury. Randy Orton got his shot for the WWE Championship against Bray Wyatt after he won the Royal Rumble as the two continued their rivalry after Orton betrayed Wyatt.
However, one of the most highly anticipated matches of the night was the one for the WWE Universal Championship between Brock Lesnar and Goldberg. Lesnar was humiliated by Goldberg twice, at Survivor Series and at Royal Rumble, and he was out looking for revenge.
The main event of the night was between a legend and a future legend as The Undertaker took on Roman Reigns. This was set to be an emotional match at the end of it all as there were reports that The Undertaker could be set to retire.
Here are the complete results from WrestleMania 33.
AJ Styles defeated Shane McMahon via pin fall
The rivalry between Styles and Shane-O-Mac has been going on for a really long time with Styles feeling that he was undervalued by SmackDown LIVE's commissioner. It all started when Styles threw Shane through a car window and despite general manager Daniel Bryan firing Styles, McMahon reversed the decision and decided to face him at WrestleMania 33.
Shane-O-Mac's matches never disappoint and his daredevil offence makes him an even deadlier opponent to face. The two superstars went at each other throughout the match with the momentum switching both ways. Towards the end Styles went for the Phenomenal Forearm which Shane countered with a DDT that almost got him the pin fall.
Shane then attempted a Shooing Star press but Styles moved and he connected with the Phenomenal Forearm and finally got the win.
Kevin Owens defeated Chris Jericho via pin fall (c) to become the new United States Champion
Jericho got the early advantage in the match after a long brawl, but Owens turned things around with a super kick. As the momentum continued to switch between the two stars, Owens took control once again and while he was going for a Pop-Up powerbomb, Jericho countered it into a Codebreaker that almost got him the win but Owens got a hold of the rope.
With the two superstars outside the ring, Owens then hit Jericho with a powerbomb on the ring apron and rolled him back into the ring and got the pin fall to become the new United States champion.
Bayley (c) defeated Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Nia Jax to retain the WWE Raw Women's Championship
Bayley, Charlotte and Banks all ganged up early on to take out Nia Jax, but she fought back before crushing Bayley and hurling Charlotte onto Banks and Bayley at ringside. They then combined again and hit her with a triple powerbomb to eliminate her from the bout. After the elimination of Jax, the remaining three superstars went all out. Banks was the next to get eliminated as she was hit face-first on an exposed middle turnbuckle.
Charlotte then locked Bayley in a Figure-Four Leg Lock but the champion was determined to fight back. She managed to get out of it and climbed up the rope and hit an Elbow Drop to retain her title.
The Hardy Boyz defeated The Club (c), Enzo Amore and Big Cass, and Sheamus and Cesaro in a ladder match to become the new WWE Raw Tag Team Championship
The WWE universe was in shock as Matt and Jeff Hardy made a return and their experience in this sort of match certainly helped them. The Hardy Boyz cleared the ring at the start, and all the momentum was with them, but the other teams would not give up so easily.
Enzo and Cass nearly grabbed the title early on when the seven footer Cass hoisted Enzo up on his shoulders. The title was always going to be the Hardy Boyz and they won it in the most extreme of fashions. First, Matt hit a Twist of Fate off the top of a ladder on Anderson. Then, outside the ring, Jeff hit a Swanton bomb onto two ladders holding up Cesaro and Sheamus and back between the ropes, Matt climbed the ladder and grabbed the Raw Tag Team Titles.
John Cena and Nikki Bella defeated The Miz and Maryse via pin fall. Cena proposed to Nikki after the match
Al Roker was the special guest ring announcer for this match and The Miz and Maryse got the early advantage in the match. Things turned when Nikki Bella slapped The Miz allowing Cena to make the tag.
From then on it was all Cena and Nikki. They executed a double Knuckle Shuffle, followed by Cena hitting the Attitude Adjustment and Nikki delivering the Rack Attack 2.0 for the double pin. After the match, Cena went down on one knee and asked Nikki to marry him. Nikki instantly said yes.
Seth Rollins defeated Triple H via pin fall after he hit him with a pedigree
Seth Rollins had a point to prove in this match and he did not waste any time as he immediately threw Triple H out of the ring and over the barricade. Triple H responded well as he hit Rollins with a DDT on top of a commentary table before smashing a steel chair into his injured knee.
Rollins managed to find some time to recover as he hit Triple H with a running buckle bomb that took all the wind out of him. However, the interference of Stephanie McMahon almost cost him the match twice. When Stephanie tried to interfere again, Rollins dodged and Triple H ended up hitting her. He then hit Triple H with a pedigree and got the win.
Randy Orton defeated Bray Wyatt (c) via pin fall to become the new WWE Championship
Bray Wyatt played a lot of mind games leading up to this match and also during, but Randy Orton let his actions inside the ring do the talking. He hit an RKO outside the ring but it only got him a two count. Orton's momentum was halted after Wyatt hit him with a Sister Abigail.
Wyatt was ready to deliver the final blow on Orton, but the viper struck out of nowhere with another RKO and this time it was enough to get him the win.
Brock Lensar defeated Goldberg (c) to become the new WWE Universal Champion
After losing to Goldberg twice very quickly, Brock Lesnar was looking to exact revenge and he did so. Lesnar took Goldberg to Suplex City with three Germans instantly, but the champion stood right back up and responded with two huge spears. When Lesnar went outside to escape the champion he was driven through the barricade with a third spear.
Back in the ring, Goldberg went for another spear but Brock leaped clean over him, leaving the Universal Champion to plow headfirst into the ring post. The Beast re-opened the gates of Suplex City and hit him with six German suplexes before finding an F-5 which got him the win and the title.
Naomi defeated Alexa Bliss (c), Carmella, Natalya and Becky Lynch to become the new WWE SmackDown Women's Championship
Naomi tapped out Bliss to the Slay-o-mission head scissors crucifix choke to become a two-time SmackDown Women's Champion in front of her hometown Orlando crowd.
Roman Reigns defeated The Undertaker via pin fall
Despite losing at the end of it, this was probably one of the best matches to feature the Undertaker. Roman Reigns gave it his all as he tried to hand The Undertaker his second defeat at WrestleMania. Reigns managed to pin The Undertaker after 25 grueling minutes, but he needed five spears including one through the Spanish announce table, another with extra momentum from the ring ropes and even more Superman punches to finally prevent The Deadman from kicking out.
There were three pre-show matches
Neville (c) defeated Austin Aries to retain the WWE cruiserweight Championship
Mojo Rawley eliminated Jinder Mahal to win the 33-man Battle royal for the André the Giant Memorial Trophy
Dean Ambrose (c) defeated Baron Corbin to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
