WWE WrestleMania 40 Results: Star Ratings for All Matches from Saturday's Card | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Rating: ****3/4 (4.75/5 stars)

One qualm here: Zayn's triumph probably deserved more than 15 minutes, but boy did he and Gunther pack a story into the time they were given.

Not to keep harping on the Uso vs. Uso dud, but it's incredible how much emotion and raw storytelling Zayn and Gunther included with only four extra minutes. The babyface overcoming all odds story is well-trodden, and they didn't go out there and reinvent the wheel.

That said, it was a sensationally told in-ring story from start to finish. Gunther dominated Zayn throughout the match, putting him through the best hits of moves and finishers that vanquished every foe for nearly two years. Zayn kept kicking out.

Then in one fell swoop, Sami turned the momentum, pulled out a Ring of Honor classic with a top-rope brainbuster, and gave us our only shocking result of the evening. Gunther's reign brought prestige back to the Intercontinental title, and it's hard to find a more worthy successor than Zayn. Now, off to the main event scene for the Ring General.
