WrestleMania 28's three major matches featured huge stars and dramatic action that will live inWWE lore for years to come. WWEmade great choices with their pairings.

The event saw Triple H, Undertaker, Chris Jericho, JohnCena, CM Punk and The Rock provide a glut of star power.

Fans may have bemoaned that for the third WrestleMania, Triple H would be the man attempting to end Undertaker's streak, but it turned out to be a brilliant decision. Slam! Sports described their Hell in a Cell match as "one for the ages."

That brutal match alone would have made WrestleMania worth the money, but WWEgave us two more memorable matchups.

CM Punk defended his WWE Championship against Chris Jericho in a battle that was the best pure wrestling match on the card. Jericho provided theater by trying to torture Punk with insults and taunts, but it was the in-ring action that shined.

Eric Larnick of The Huffington Post wrote that the match "proved that pro wrestling can still entrance a crowd."

 In addition to those two excellent showings, WWE also gave fans a showdown of icons.

The Rock defeated John Cena in the night's final match.

Taking a break from being a movie star, The Rock performed in his first WWE singles match since 2003. Sure, one could nitpick his performance or the match itself, but he and Cena's star power and showmanship capped the night in captivating fashion. 

WWE's choices for WrestleMania 28's main events helped the pay-per-view reach1,217,000 buys and bring in over $100 million for the City of Miami.
