Shawn Michaels made an appearance on WrestleMania 41 (Night One) to announce the attendance for the Las Vegas pay-per-view event.
According to HBK, the crowd totaled 61,467, which he proudly declared as a sellout.
Both El Grande Americano and Rey Fenix made their WWE debuts at WrestleMania 41, but it was Americano who walked away with the win. In a controversial moment, Americano concealed a metal plate in his mask, leading to Fenix injuring his foot when he landed a kick to the face. Capitalizing on the injury, Americano followed up with a standard headbutt and then a flying headbutt to seal the victory. Fenix had stepped in as a last-minute replacement for Rey Mysterio, who was sidelined due to injury. After the match, Vikingo came to Fenix’s aid.
Elsewhere, Chad Gable was notably absent from the weekend’s lineup, with no matches booked.
