WrestleMania 41 Night 2 concluded on Sunday in a somewhat uneven showing, including a polarizing main event that saw John Cena defeat Cody Rhodes to win the Undisputed WWE Championship and become an unprecedented 17-time world champion.

A year after Rhodes helped author one of the greatest main events in WrestleMania history, the contest against Cena will likely be remembered more for the questionable involvement of Travis Scott than either it being Cena’s final WrestleMania match or a record-setting performance. It was a stark contrast from the Night 1 main event between Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and CM Punk that was widely regarded as one of the best in recent memory, if not ever.
Finale aside, there was plenty to love about WrestleMania 41 Night 2. In the opening contest of the night, Iyo Sky retained her Women’s World Championship against both Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair. It was an excellent match and will be in the discussion for the best women’s match in WrestleMania history.
Dominik Mysterio, arguably the biggest heel in professional wrestling, won over the Las Vegas crowd and secured his first singles championship on the main roster by defeating Bron Breakker, Finn Balor and Penta to win the Intercontinental Championship.
Mysterio will be the only Judgment Day member with gold around their waist as Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez lost their Women’s Tag Team Championships to Lyra Valkyria and a returning Becky Lynch. Valkyria now is one half of the women’s tag champs in addition to being the current and inaugural Women’s Intercontinental Champion.

Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest changed up the overall pace of WrestleMania 41 with an entertaining Sin City Street Fight in which McIntyre emerged victorious. Logan Paul defeated AJ Styles in singles competition, continuing to show why he’s one of the fastest rising stars in WWE, despite not being a full-time performer.
In the shortest match of the night, Randy Orton defeated his mystery opponent, TNA World Champion Joe Hendry.
All told, five championships changed hands across both nights.
