WWE Wrestlemania XXVII: Rock’s Intro/ Del Rio vs Edge
April 4th, 2011 - 12:43 pm ICT by Angela Kaye MasonApr 4 (THAINDIAN NEWS) As Wrestlmania XXVII opened up in the beautiful Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, The Rock made his way to the ring, after Keri Hilson performed “America The Beautiful” to a backdrop of military and veteran photos. Rock took the stage and informed the people once again that he is the most electrifying athlete in sports today. He asked the audience that everytime he says, “Wrestle” they are to say, “Mania.” They tested this a few times, and he let them all know they were to do this for the rest of the night. After a bit more of his self-appreciation, the Rock left the ring.
Del Rio vs Edge
Alberto Del Rio made his way to the ring first as his own private ring announcer made his presence known. He drove into the Georgia Dome in a Classic Rolls Royce, worth over 100,000 dollars. Del Rio often drives to the ring in a number of different expensive cars. His opponent, Edge, had the audience on its feet as he walked to the ring to meet Del Rio for their match. Edge is an eleven time World Champion, and holds the belt now, which is on the table in this matchup with Del Rio.
The match started with the two men slapping each other. The slaps soon turned to punches, and the battle was underway. Edge soon threw Del Rio over the ropes and out of the ring. Unfortunately, this was not a Royal Rumble match and so it continued. Del Rio did an arm drag from the top rope, and then pinned Edge, but only got a two count in. Christian stood on the outside of the ring in Edge’s corner as Brotus Clay stood on Del Rio’s corner of this Championship match.
This match will not end on a disqualification, however, this match must be won by a count or submission. Edge speared Del Rio, and won the match, retaining his title! Then Edge and Christian went to work on Del Rio’s Rolls Royce with a sledge hammer and a crowbar, a message of payback from Christian for the six months he was out of commission due to Del Rio.
