An absolute cracker of a Wrestlemania

    THE 34th edition of the WWE's annual Wrestlemania took place in New Orleans last Sunday, and the American sports entertainment company pulled off a quite spectacular show.

    The first match of the evening - a three-way battle involving Finn Balor, The Miz and Seth Rollins - was the perfect way to kick off the event, with the majority of the 78,133-strong crowd inside the Mercedez-Benz Superdome lapping up the action.

    Backstage, Japanese superstar Asuka wasn't watching the match. She was in a pensive mood as she awaited her turn to enter the ring later in the evening. She had just been given word by the company's officials that her proud two-and-a-half-year undefeated streak would come to an end that night, against the WWE Smackdown women's champion Charlotte Flair.
