Highlights:

  • In the main event of Night 2, Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar clean to become the undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
  • The main event of Night 1 became a No Holds Barred match when Kevin Owens challenged Stone Cold Steve Austin on the KO Show. Austin defeated him with a stunner and picked up his first win in nineteen years.
  • After Pat McAfee defeated Austin Theory, Mr. McMahon got in the ring and they had an impromptu match. McMahon defeated McAfee and celebrated with Theory until Stone Cold Steve Austin’s music hit. Austin give Theory a stunner, and then gave McMahon a beer before giving him one of the worst stunners of all time. He ended the segment by sharing beers with Pat McAfee, before giving him a stunner as well.
  • Triple H returned to main WWE programming after his heart condition and introduced everyone to night 2.
  • With a light distraction by Damian Priest, Edge defeated AJ Styles. Afterwards, Edge & Priest showed they have formed a new alliance.
  • Bianca Belair won her second title in back-to-back WrestleMania’s. She got a serious black eye from a botched move by Becky Lynch.
  • With Sasha Banks & Naomi’s tag team title victory, Banks finally put a stop to her losing streak at WrestleMania.
  • The tag match between Ridge Holland & Sheamus against The New Day was originally scheduled for night one, but was cut because of time constraints. They worked the match on night two, but it was the shortest match across both shows.
  • Johnny Knoxville had help from Chris Pontius (Party Boy), Weeman, a giant mouse trap, and the rest of the Jackass crew to defeat Sami Zayn.
  • Seth Rollins’ mystery opponent was a returning Cody Rhodes, who entered using his ‘American Nightmare’ presentation and theme.
  • Following the match between Drew McIntyre and Happy Corbin, McIntyre destroyed a table and the ring ropes with ‘Angela’ the sword.
  • Logan Paul & The Miz did well to defeat The Mysterios. As they celebrated, The Miz shockingly turned on Logan Paul by hitting him with the Skull Crushing Finale.
  • A referee got hit with Charlotte Flair’s spear. Ronda Rousey was thrown off her game and Flair booted her in the head, just in time for a second referee to call the pin and hand Rousey a rare loss.
