My Take Before I Broke This: I added the Chrome box at the last minute and, well, I figured it would have added some flash. Meanwhile, the Road blasters have dried up a bit but offer a boatload of variety and past looks at history, while the women's set is a go-to for me as those can regularly have autographs as their hit.

--

Who Won The Battle? Did they all perform on the grandest stage of them all? Not really. The Chrome box felt like a dud, while a manufactured Relic (even if it's numbered) just isn't something I want to find as my hit as I did in the women's box. The Winner: Road To WrestleMania wins here despite the women's set having two numbered cards. The Triple H hit is respectable but the power in that release is the volume of history packed into even a blaster -- that, along with the hit, made it the winner here this time. I remember ripping the hobby boxes a couple times and being overwhelmed with all of the past looks but that's the kind of stuff that has aged well if you ask me.

--

The Top Rookie: Paige 2015 Road To WrestleMania almost wins by default. The RC logo was used in WWE for all of this time but you wouldn't know it based on the finds in these boxes. This, by definition, is a RC as it's a base card in her first year of base card appearances and she's a big name, too. (But now over on AEW.)

--

Card That Stole The Show: The Triple H hit wins by default as well -- Hall of Famer and booker beats manufactured Relic every time and twice on Sunday.

--

Break Grade: B+ ... Tough grading here as one was hitless and one had a manufactured Relic but the only two numbered cards ... but one had a top-tier name in today's WWE. Definitely could have been worse but since we're early on here it's not an A-level WrestleMania showing.
Fun Grade: B+ ... Road To WrestleMania is so loaded with past stars and highlights and the women's set is comprehensive, too.

--

The Bottom Line: Once again my results here show this one isn't a work -- one good blaster and two with iffy results -- but at least they were cheaper. Rip the Women's release by the case and you'll land some top stuff.
