Justin Roberts welcomes us to WrestleMania and there’s a fly-over before Fantasia sings America the Beautiful. We get the opening video focusing on WrestleMania moments and the marquee matches of the night. It gives us another chance to see Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels hug it out in January and it shows Shawn Michaels’ desperate attempt at retribution against Undertaker.
Michael Cole tells us
there are 70,000 people in the University of Phoenix Stadium before R-Truth
makes his entrance. Smart choice for the first man out for the proper show.
John Morrison makes his way out to join his tag partner, Cole introduces the
commentary team during his entrance, he doesn’t even get to the ring before ShoMiz
makes their way out. The Spanish Announce Team are introduced during
their walk to the ring, and The Miz looks great with 3 belts.
Michael Cole, Jerry “The King” Lawler and Matt Striker are on commentary for this match.

Miz and Morrison make the tag, Morrison knocks Miz down with clotheslines and a calf kick, John Morrison ducks a right hand and hits a flapjack on The Miz. The Miz makes it to his feet in the corner, he avoids Morrison and brings him down with a sunset flip. John Morrison rolls through, he kicks Miz in the head and looks for Starship Pain.

boot. Big Show makes the blind tag and connects with a right hand to John Morrison’s
head as Morrison hit the middle rope for a springboard, Big Show covers for the
win.
WINNER: SHOMIZ (STILL WWE Unified Tag Team Champions)
R-Truth and John Morrison got in a decent amount
of offense for a short match. You know what you’re getting with a ShoMiz match.
The Miz does a lot of the legwork and Big Show is used for an equaliser, and to
get the final advantage. John Morrison and R-Truth is a great act for the
opening match of a show to excite the crowd early and the match didn’t eat into
much PPV time for a simple defense. [*½]
