Also on the card, The Undertaker defeated CM Punk, Triple H defeated Brock Lesnar in a No Holds Barred match, Alberto Del Rio defeated Jack Swagger to keep his World Heavyweight Championship, this was the final time the championship was defended at WrestleMania.

There was an 8-man mixed tag team match scheduled between Tons of Funk (Brodus Clay and "Sweet T" Tensai) (with Cameron and Naomi) and Team Rhodes Scholars (Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow) (with The Bella Twins) but the match was pulled from the card on short notice because of time constraints.[4]
