WWE WrestleMania 39 Night 1 will be a tough act to follow. Had tonight been a one-night WrestleMania, it would have stood the test of time and competed with ...
The massive reaction for Ripley’s big win was a testament to the quality of the match. The Bloodline storyline was a winner before this match started as they rightfully main evented Night 1 of WrestleMania. Rey and Dominik Mysterio lived past their lofty expectations in a match that paid off every piece of storytelling leading up to the emotional father-son feud. This WrestleMania card was too good for its big matches not to be among the best of the night, but the tag team Fatal 4-Way set a tone that every match had to work hard to follow. Seth Rollins picked up the win, but in five WWE matches, Logan Paul continues to become a human highlight real. On a stacked WrestleMania card, the tag team Fatal 4-Way was a throwaway match that nobody had any expectations for.

Asuka came back with a cool series of kicks and then bulldogged Belair to the mat before getting up and kicking her again. Gunther posed with the title while McIntyre and Sheamus were down… Sheamus was slow to cover McIntyre, and then Gunther leapt from the top rope to break up the pin. Bianca Belair had a group of dancers sporting their own ponytails performing on the stage.The smallest and seemingly youngest of the dancers performed a wild move and then Belair came out and danced around her before heading to the ring. Sheamus and McIntyre went back and forth hitting Gunther with chops and the clubbing forearms while the crowd counted along, and then McIntyre knocked Sheamus off the apron. Omos fired shots to the back of Lesnar and then put him in a bearhug. Morgan leapt from the ropes and performed a Codebreaker style move on Natalya to break the hold. Gunther encouraged McIntyre and Sheamus to go at one another, but McIntyre opted to kick Gunther instead. Lesnar smiled and then went for a takedown once the bell rang.
In the main event, it was the underdog versus the “big dog” as Cody Rhodes challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Read on below ...

Night 2 delivered plenty of awes as Gunther, Drew McIntyre and Sheamus battled it out for the Intercontinental Championship in a Triple Threat match.
Will Cody Rhodes end Roman Reigns' run as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion?
When Rhodes nailed Reigns with two consecutive Cross Rhodes, it looked like he had the win in hand before the Usos rushed to the champ's aid. The match had Reigns and Rhodes each managing several near pinfalls and the referee tossing Sikoa from ringside after The Enforcer had delivered a chair shot to Rhodes' ribs and additionally hit him in the back with a weight belt. All that being said, a fourth interference from Solo Sikoa ensured that WrestleMania 39 ended in an "American Nightmare" for Rhodes as The Bloodline Enforcer's Samoan Spike to Rhodes' throat paved the way for Reigns to spear him and retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship inside SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

There was a more deflating pop for when Jey Uso kicked out of the Stunner. The only person who came out in a low rider was Rey Mysterio, and the person driving was Snoop Dogg. Now, think about Kevin Owens kicking out of a double-Uso splash and imagine how loud that reaction was. Charlotte going on in this spot meant Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens vs. This match ended with two Helluva Kicks from Sami Zayn to Jey Uso. Titus O’Neil was featured on commentary for this match, and you loved to see it.

Lita hit a twist of fate, Stratus hit the chick kick, Lita hit the moonsault and Lynch used the manhandle slam on Bayley off the ropes for the pin. Dominik went to use a chain but Bad Bunny, who was doing commentary at ringside, took it from Dominik and Rey hit the 619 and frog splash for the pin. Sky later hit a moonsault off the top to everyone on the floor. Becky Lynch is one of the top female wrestling stars of all time, catching fire around 2018 and was the first woman to win a WrestleMania main event. The other story was the crowd, which was quieter most of the way than any other match on the show by a wide margin and sided more with Ripley down the stretch. Flair got the figure four but Ripley got to the ropes. Owens cut off Jimmy with a stunner and Jey hit one last helluva kick on Jey for the pin. The Usos are identical twins who have been one of the best tag teams in the world for over a decade.

Will Cody Rhodes dethrone the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns? We're about to find out!
It was definitely a match that met the hype and as much as I love Judgement Day, this was the right call to end this feud once and for all. This was the time to finish Cody's story. Of course, it also makes for a more dramatic turn when Cody finally turns the tide and when he hit that Cody Cutter, both the stadium and the press box exploded with excitement. This was the time to introduce something new. This was the time to end Roman's reign. It does a heart good to see Negative 1, the son of the late Brodie Lee, at ringside with Cody's family as a show of support. Still, like most Lesnar matches (and certainly most Omos matches), this was a short and basic fight. That's exactly the kind of playground a master manipulator like Roman loves, as it allows him to bend the rules and get away with it. Ronda and Shayna won by submission (the first of the weekend, so far, unless you count NXT) but there's no telling what that victory will actually mean going forward. Of course, there's still time for that but given this is a Women's Tag Team Showcase match, it felt more like a bout designed to get a bunch of women not in storylines onto the card. The size difference between Brock (known around these parts as Bork Lazer) and Omos is hilarious because the Beast Incarnate is rarely the little guy in the room. Sheamus (WWE Intercontinental Championship)
In a heated match, where The Usos were fended off by Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, Solo Sikoa—who was kicked out earlier—managed to sneak his way back in to cost ...
The next phase in The Bloodline storyline seemed to be Cody Rhodes finally prevailing over Reigns, and Reigns’ Bloodline crumbling. And with Rhodes in lock-step with WWE’s fanbase since returning from a company he created to oppose them, live crowds unanimously sided with Cody. WWE’s long-term storytelling has been a lynchpin of the new regime, though Vince McMahon remains a wildcard as he seems to be inching closer to a return to creative. Rhodes was also banned from ever challenging for the AEW World Championship due to losing a stipulation match to Chris Jericho. Fans were almost unanimously behind Rhodes at SoFi Stadium, booing Reigns vociferously as Rhodes looked to finish his story in honor of his father the late great Dusty Rhodes. Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes in a shocking finish at WrestleMania 39.
Reigns survived by the skin of his teeth and leaves WrestleMania 39 with his record-setting world title run intact.
Rhodes crawled over to Reigns and covered the champion just as the referee recovered. Owens hit Reigns with a stunner and Zayn got a measure of revenge on the champion with a Helluva Kick that sent shockwaves through SoFi Stadium. The action took a spill to the outside as each man power-slammed the other on the ramp. An absolutely chaotic match, well fit for the rivalry involved and the Hell in a Cell moniker. Cody Rhodes: Rhodes relied on his amateur wrestling background and speed advantage to control his powerhouse opponent in the early portion of the match. Belair ducked a cloud of mist, Asuka side-stepped a hair whip, Asuka rolled into an armbar and Belair lifted Asuka into a KOD for the win. Balor was reeling in pain but managed to kick out of a spear from "The Rated R Superstar." The performers did a masterful job of telling a story of friction and feelings of betrayal between Sheamus and McIntyre. Balor found his way back into the match and drove his heels through Edge with a Coup de Grace. The champion powerbombed Sheamus onto McIntyre and subsequently powerbombed McIntyre for the win. The men's showcase match was a hard act to follow but the women put in a strong effort. The mammoth superstar tossed around Lesnar and effortlessly power-slammed him in the early portions of the match.

Rhodes full of determination, looking to the sky, a little Garvin Stomp to keep the champion off-balance and Roman rolls to the floor. Jimmy Uso back in, Jey too, brawling with Kev and Sami on the floor and out into the crowd! Throwing Rhodes up the ramp, drawing him up, scoop and a slam on the hardened surface of the ramp! Back to the lockup, back suplex attempt, Cody hangs in there and turns it into a headlock takeover! Back in the ring, back and forth, Edge gets the Impaler and lies in wait! Corner lariats follow, off the ropes, Rhodes sidesteps and nails him with a dropkick, cover for one and right into an armbar! Back to the floor, Finn dropkicks Edge through the table in the corner! Edge goes under the ring and comes up with an armload of red and purple kendo sticks and uses two of them to trap Finn in the corner of the cage! Trading punches, McIntyre with a back elbow on the apron, off the ropes... More kicks, the EST catches one and clobbers her with a forearm! GUNTHER tries to step aside and let the Celts brawl but McIntyre blasts him with a dropkick! Overhead elbows break free, off the ropes and Omos catches him with a chokeslam for two!

A great deal of the weekend would be dedicated to him and that was certainly the case. Jey, in particular, was a revelation as the heart and soul of the faction. Listen to Ring Rust Radio for all of the hot wrestling topics. Balor suffered his first loss in the bodypaint in the September 2021 Extreme Rules main event, where he lost to Roman Reigns. Instead of a convincing win, fans watched Theory tap out, essentially losing to Cena, despite the lack of referee awareness. Theory is no better off than he was entering the show. A defining victory over one of the standard-bearers in professional wrestling. Many expected a great match considering her dance partner was the best women's wrestler of her (or any) generation. What few could have imagined was that Ripley would grab the event and make it her own by delivering an exclamatory five-star performance. Cena is heading back to Hollywood to film movies and TV shows. He does not need to be protected by booking at this point so why not just put Theory over him cleanly? She did and as a result, she will forever be one of the defining features of the 2023 show.
