WWE Wrestlemania 42: Sunday Night

Night two was so much better than night one. I do not want to downgrade Saturday night at Wrestlemania 42, because I did enjoy more there than I did not. However, Sunday night was just fabulous.

This is my match order for the night.

#1. Roman Reigns defeated CM Punk for the World Championship.

#2. I-C Ladder match won by Penta.

#3. Oba Femi defeated Brock Lesnar; Brock Lesnar retired.

#4. Demon Finn Balor defeated Dirty Dom Mysterio

#5. Trick Williams defeated Sami Zayn to become US Champion.

#6. Rhea Ripley defeated Jade Cargill for the Women’s World Championship.

Rhea vs. Jade may be my sixth place match, but it was a really great match too. It was one of the best matches I have ever seen from Jade Cargill.

Other moments

  • Danhausen with the Miz, Kit Wilson, John Cena and a bunch of littlehausens. Comedy break.
  • Brock’s retirement came from out of nowhere. It was surprisingly emotional. The hug between Brock and Paul Heyman was so real.
  • The Demon’s entrance was sensational.
  • Crowd felt much more active tonight than on Saturday.
  • Only two champions retained over the weekend: Cody Rhodes and Penta.
  • JD McDonagh took a Mexican destroyer to a ladder, head first. JD was the man in the ladder match.
  • Je’Von Evans showed his skill too with the insanity that he pulled off in the ladder match.

An excellent night of wrestling tonight. The criticism of Saturday with the short matches and too many commercials, was not a problem on Sunday as the pacing of the night was much better (and with fewer matches too). There were commercials, but they did not overpower the matches like they seemed to do on Saturday.

Night Two grade: A
