WRESTLEMANIA DARK MATCH RESULT

By Mike Johnson on 2011-04-03 19:32:30

WrestleMania opened at the Georgia Dome with a music video for last year's Mania.

The dark match is Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan in a Lumberjack match. Bryan worked him over with kicks to the chest. Sheamus rolled out of the ring but was tossed back in by Mark Henry. Sheamus clotheslined Bryan for a two count. A Daniel Bryan chant started. Sheamus controlled Bryan and scored several near falls before cinching in an armbar. 

Bryan was fired up by the crowd and fought back only to be nailed with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Sheamus drilled him with a kick and went for the High Cross. Daniel escaped and sent him to the floor. Bryan dropkicked Sheamus and then hit a high knee off the apron. All the Lumberjacks started brawling as they tried to get them in. They rang the bell.

Teddy Long came out and made the match a Battle Royal. Mark Henry eliminated three guys before being tossed. Evan Bourne hit a shooting star press on Drew McIntyre before being tossed by Sheamus. There were a shocking amount of boos for Regal's elimination. It came down to Great Khali and Sheamus, with Khali nailing the chop before clotheslining him out.
