WWE WrestleMania 28: 10 Takeaways from Wrestling's Biggest Event

Whether this was your first viewing of a WrestleMania event or you have seen them all, this 28th installation was without a doubt one of the greatest WrestleMania's of all time.

After such a grand spectacle, wrestling fans everywhere are asking themselves, where can the WWE go after such an eventful night. 

What follows is 10 takeaways from wrestling's biggest night: 

The WWE Will Continue with Its Integration of Social Media

Over the past two years, the WWE has tried to integrate social media to its wrestling promotion, and while many have complained (and even turned the constant Twitter and YouTube references into drinking games), it looks like the "trend" (pardon the pun) is here to stay. 

But is this necessarily a bad thing? In what I believe to be a smart move by the WWE staff, for the first time ever, the "dark match" before WrestleMania was streamed live via social media sites such as YouTube and Facebook.

Could this strategy be used in future pay-per-views to give young talented WWE Superstars like as Tyson Kidd and the Usos more television time?

The WWE Still Has No Idea How to Book Tag Team Matches

I understand that the WrestleMania card was already packed, but there's really no reason for the tag team champions Epico and Hunico to defend their titles in a dark match (albeit a live-streamed matched).

If the WWE wants to promote their tag team champions, they need to start booking whoever has those belts like strong contenders. Dark matches and constant-loss matches will not give this result. 

It Helps to Have Friends in High Places

In what was the shortest match of the night, WWE Superstar Sheamus proved that it's not what you know, but who you know that gets you far in life.

His under-a-minute victory proves that the WWE creative team has faith in the Irish-born Superstar—expect big things in the rest of 2012 for the Great White. 

Randy Orton and Kane Have No Foreseeable Storylines

Kane and Randy Orton are two of the best WWE Superstars, unfortunately due to poor booking, their WrestleMania match was slow and uninteresting. 

Orton and Wade Barrett had a great pre-Mania feud, before the former Nexus leader injured himself during  the February 20 live tapping of Raw.

Until Barrett returns to the ring, I do not see a major storyline for either Orton or Kane. I hope the WWE proves me wrong.  

Cody Rhodes Is Headed for the Main Event Scene

Love him or hate him, without a doubt, Cody Rhodes is one of the most improved Superstars of this past year. Not only has the second-generation wrestler improved in the ring, but as of late, his mic skills have been some of the best on the SmackDown roster. 

Booking a loss for Rhodes at WrestleMania is a great move by the WWE creative. Not only does this give The Big Show the opportunity to have future feuds with other mid-card wrestlers who need a push, but it also allows Rhodes a chance to move up the card.

Expect Rhodes to go after Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Championship or be involved in a high-profile feud. 

The Divas Division Doomed to Fail

This may be an over statement, but unless drastic changes happen, I don't see the WWE Divas Division going any where but down. 

While I understand the WWE's need to include celebrities in their card like Maria Menounos, there is no reason for the current Divas Champion, Beth Phoenix, to lose a match cleanly to her.

Expect similar mishaps and awful booking until the return of Kharma, which for the sake of the Divas Division, I hope is soon. 

The End of an Era Match Was Really the End of an Era

Whether wrestling fans are ready for it or not, Triple H's and the Undertaker's Hell in a Cell match was truly the end of an era.

In what was one of the most beautiful matches in the past 10 years, wrestling fans were able to see something they may never see again—blood.

The WWE's current shift from TV-14 to TV-PG has ended the "colorful" matches of yesteryear, and while the health and safety of the WWE's talent should be a priority, moments such as this should be savored. 

Undertaker's career may end after his 20-0 streak, but his legend will live on. 

John Laurinaitis and Company Will Bring Interesting Changes to the WWE

Although many complained because of the placement of the 12-man tag team Team Johnny vs. Team Teddy match in the WrestleMania card, Mr. Excitement's promotion as the new general manager of both Raw and SmackDown could bring some much-needed change to both WWE's television programs.  

John Laurinaitis will continue business as usual, but if the WWE creative team is smart, this could be the opportunity to get rid of the useless brand system. 

CM Punk Won the Battle but Not the War

Now that John Laurinaitis is the general manager of both SmackDown and Raw, expect him to begin a crusade against the company's babyfaces—especially CM Punk. 

The Second City Saint's victory at WrestleMania will be short lived, though this may not necessarily be a bad thing. As wrestling fans witnessed last summer, Punk's work is best when he's chasing after the title.

A loss for Punk at the hands of Jericho could result in an interesting turn to what is already turning out to be a great feud.  

The Match Described as Once in a Lifetime May Happen Again

This year's WrestleMania main event did not disappoint.

In what was a shocking turn of events, The Rock brought home a victory against his foe John Cena in front of an energetic Miami crowd. But, could this be the end of The Rock vs. Cena saga? 

The Rock has already said that he will be wrestling at next year's WrestleMania 29 in New Jersey.

What's to stop the next year's main event from being Team Bring It vs. Cenation Part 2?
