WrestleMania Saturday is almost over, and we’ve seen some incredible moments so far.

But all of that’s done now. Let’s get to business for tonight’s main event: Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk will face off in a triple-threat match.

This feud runs deep: Reigns and Rollins first came into WWE as members of The Shield, a mercenary group initially intended to protect CM Punk during his 434-day WWE title reign. 

After Punk’s departure in 2014, the Shield would dissolve after Rollins betrayed the group to align with Triple H and The Authority. Since then, Rollins and Reigns’ blood feud has manifested itself in multiple situations: Reigns would lose a title match by disqualification against Rollins in 2022 after failing to meet the referee’s rope break count. Rollins would cost Reigns the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania XL by taking a chair shot during the Bloodline Rules main event, leading to Cody Rhodes winning his first world title.

For Rollins and Punk, this feud also runs deep. Rollins had referred to Punk as a “cancer” who should “never come back.” The bad news for Rollins: Punk came back, and while the two have traded words and interfered in each other’s business, the feud finally comes to a head after simmering for over a decade.

Punk and Reigns also have an issue regarding the man who’s managed both of them: Paul Heyman. Before Punk left WWE, he had made a deal with Heyman that if Punk ever main-evented, Heyman would be in his corner. As a result, Punk pulled the “Tribal Chief’s” wise man right out from under him in a move that Reigns calls a “betrayal.”

Over ten years of history between these men. Record title runs. Crowning accomplishments. Generation-defining talents. Expect a war, and expect each of these men to leave everything in Allegiant Stadium to settle the score in their favor.

FINISH

Here is your winner, Seth Rollins!

And Rollins just did the unthinkable again, ten years after his Heist of the Century to win the WWE Championship. Seth Rollins managed to manipulate Paul Heyman not only into betraying CM Punk in his biggest moment but also turning on Roman Reigns once and for all. Punk is just too far away from the pinning combination to keep the match alive, and Reigns still has not been able to beat Rollins.

But we cannot discount Paul Heyman’s impact on tonight’s match. The Wise Man has also done the unthinkable by betraying the man who he’d had his biggest run with in Reigns, and now, the house of cards have come down for both Punk and Reigns. WrestleMania Saturday concludes with the biggest shock we never saw coming.

We’ve been waiting for this one.

Tiffany Stratton has had an exponential rise to the top of WWE’s women’s division. After a stint as NXT Women’s Champion, she was called up to the main roster, and after winning Money in the Bank, she aligned with Nia Jax as the latter won the WWE Women’s Championship, and it seemed like Jax’s reign would go on for a while.

However, this was far from the case. With Stratton holding the Money in the Bank contract, multiple incidents occurred where a cash-in on Jax seemed imminent. While these were usually smokescreens, the opening SmackDown of 2025 would turn the women’s division upside down: After another smokescreen cash-in to help Jax retain her title, Stratton pulled the rug out from under the Irresistible Force. After officially cashing in, Stratton would win her first WWE Women’s Championship.

On the other hand, we have Charlotte Flair.

“The Queen” doesn’t need much introduction: A 14-time women’s world champ, the fourth WWE women’s Grand Slam champion, and a surefire WWE Hall of Famer, Flair has not only lived up to her father, “Nature Boy” Ric Flair’s legacy, but she’s completely redefined it. A part of the “Four Horsewomen” of NXT alongside Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Becky Lynch, Flair has been one of the leading figures of WWE’s women’s evolution. Flair would enter the women’s Royal Rumble at the 27th spot before eliminating Nia Jax and future main roster call-up Roxanne Perez to win her second Royal Rumble, becoming the first woman to win multiple Royal Rumble matches.

What’s ensued since Flair sat over Stratton and declared that “The Queen chooses you” has brought about an evolution in Stratton. However, this is Stratton’s first WrestleMania and title match, whereas for Flair, this will be her eighth appearance at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Flair is 1-0 as a Royal Rumble winner, with her victory coming over Rhea Ripley during the latter’s reign as NXT Women’s Champion.

The question we’ve all wanted to ask will now be answered: Is it Tiffy Time, or will The Queen reign once again?

FINISH

The winner of this match, and STILL your WWE Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton!

Wade Barrett described it perfectly: Stratton had to win this match “the hard way.” Charlotte Flair threw everything at the champ, including countering the Prettiest Moonsault Ever by getting her knees up, multiple finishers, and an extended submission attempt sequence with the Figure Four and Figure Eight submissions. But through it all, Stratton was able to hold on long enough to fire off a moonsault to put the match away.

This next match is an emergency rebooking. Originally, Rey Mysterio was set to compete against El Grande Americano, a figure who has been the bane of the WWE Hall of Famer’s existence during the feud between American Made and the Latino World Order. Every time Mysterio or the LWO can get rid of American Made’s Chad Gable, a similarly built luchador enters the fray with a mask and causes havoc. While Mysterio will not be able to compete tonight, recent WWE debutant Rey Fenix will get his first dance at WrestleMania.

Fenix has only been on television for two weeks, but his impact is apparent. After signing with WWE in March, Fenix would make his much-anticipated debut on SmackDown on April 4; he’s had great matches against NXT’s Nathan Frazer and Berto of Legado del Fantasma since appearing on the blue brand.

El Grande Americano has only been seen for the last few weeks. However, rumors have circulated that the American Made luchador is, in fact, Chad Gable, and proponents of this theory have pointed out that the two have never been seen in the same room or on TV at the same time. While Americano will not get a dream match against Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, he will have a chance to make an impact statement by handing Fenix his first loss in WWE.

FINISH

The winner of this match, El Grande Americano!

Fenix and El Grande went all out, and despite Michael Cole perpetuating the rumor that Americano is Chad Gable, Americano would land a flying headbutt with a loaded mask to pin Fenix and win his WrestleMania debut.

Bonus points to El Grande Americano on a reverse 540, and an immediate contender for highlight reel move of the night!

Riddle me this: what happens when you put a megastar and a Samoan werewolf in Allegiant Stadium? You get one of the hottest matches for the United States Championship at WrestleMania.

LA Knight is not a stranger to the Grandest Stage of Them All. In Knight’s WrestleMania debut, he defeated AJ Styles in singles competition to establish himself as a mainstay of the WWE roster. Knight then began an incredible run to the United States Championship, his first main roster singles title. Knight would drop the strap to Shinsuke Nakamura at Survivor Series before regaining the title this past March, and he looks to have his first successful title match at WrestleMania.

For Jacob Fatu, the “Samoan Werewolf” has burst onto the scene in a brutal and violent fashion. Originally debuting on the main roster to support Solo Sikoa’s chapter of the Bloodline during Roman Reigns’ absence, Fatu has left an unmistakable impact on the WWE landscape since his debut. Through this dominant run, Fatu would win the WWE Tag Team Championship alongside Tama Tonga and would have an impressive Royal Rumble debut with four eliminations. Fatu has shown a relentless, “take-no-prisoners” style of wrestling, relying heavily on power and strength. However, do not discount Fatu’s athletic ability in the air, as he can make each of his 285 pounds move as if he were half his weight—be ready for moonsaults from the top rope.

FINISH

The winner of this match, and NEW United States Champion, is Jacob Fatu!

Fatu and LA Knight went blow for blow and went all-in. Knight would arrive on a Maserati, and every second of this match made the flex worth it. While Knight showcased his athleticism with a superplex from the top rope and a mid-air BFT looking to put the match away, Fatu would grab the ropes and drop three straight moonsaults on the champ to become the United States Champion.

Jacob Fatu has won his first singles title and follows up on his cousin Jey’s World Heavyweight Championship victory with another belt headed for the Fatu dynasty.

Welcome to the first of many grudge matches you’ll see this weekend! Jade Cargill makes her first singles appearance at WrestleMania, where she will face off against former friend Naomi.

Naomi returned to WWE at the 2024 Royal Rumble after a two-year absence and a stint with TNA Wrestling. Cargill would make her debut in the 2024 women’s Royal Rumble at the 28th spot before racking up three eliminations, with one alongside Naomi as well.

Last year, Cargill and Naomi teamed up with Bianca Belair to take on Damage CTRL in a six-woman tag match at WrestleMania XL. After WrestleMania, Cargill won the women’s tag team titles alongside Belair before being written off television due to a mystery attacker, and Naomi filled in for Cargill as Belair’s partner. Over the next few months, the hunt was on, and as WWE approached Elimination Chamber in Toronto, it seemed that the Judgment Day’s Liv Morgan was responsible for the attack.

When Cargill’s music hit nearly immediately after the women’s Elimination Chamber match began, Liv Morgan looked like a deer in the headlights. Morgan was guilty as charged…

And then Cargill set her sights on Naomi. After a ruthless beating across the Elimination Chamber, much to the horror of those still in the reserve pods, Cargill would slam the door on Naomi’s head, medically disqualifying her from the match.

Hell hath no fury like Jade Cargill scorned, but Naomi’s message is simple: “Proceed with caution.”

FINISH

The winner of this match, Jade Cargill!

This was a show-stealing match, and both of these women lived up to the billing and made the climactic moment worth all the build-up. Despite Naomi controlling the tempo of the match most of the way, Cargill was able to fight back into the match and was able to counter Naomi’s speed with her trademark power game, including a powerbomb after lifting Naomi to her shoulders. The storm has arrived, and Jade Cargill has exacted her revenge in an outstanding match.

I hope you’re ready for war!

The War Raiders will make their first appearance at WrestleMania as tag team champions, where they will face 12-time tag champs The New Day.

The War Raiders (Erik and Ivar) have resurged onto the tag team landscape after Ivar’s recovery from a spinal injury. Since then, they’ve been on a roll as a tag team, including their title match win at TD Garden on the Dec. 16, 2024 episode of Monday Night Raw against the Judgment Day. The tag team will make their WrestleMania debut tonight, and they enter as the champions.

As for the New Day, it’s a new look for the 12-time champs. After Big E suffered a neck injury in March 2022, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods would keep the New Day going with E’s absence. However, during an episode of Monday Night Raw to celebrate ten years of the fun-having, pancake-loving, power-of-positivity-fueled trio, Big E would offer to return as the New Day’s manager, given he wasn’t cleared to compete. Woods and Kingston would turn down this offer and immediately boot Big E from the group, turning the now-duo heel.

The New Day stands on the precipice of adding to their legacy as one of the best tag teams of all time: a win over the War Raiders would break the record of four World Tag Team Title reigns, breaking the tie of four title reigns between the New Day and The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro).

FINISH

The winners of this match, and NEW World Tag Team Champions, The New Day!

The New Day has secured the record for the most World Tag Team Championship reigns at five. Their total championship count comes to 13, adding a stamp to their new-look, bad boy personas with this title win in the post-Big E era.

The intro package has played. The pyro has boomed. We’ve heard Travis Scott and Playboi Carti in Allegiant Stadium– welcome to WrestleMania in the Death Star!

We start with the first leg of our world championship matches for the evening.

Jey Uso has been one of the premier rising talents over the last half-decade. Originally a tag team specialist alongside his twin brother, Jimmy, Uso has played a massive role in the Bloodline saga, including a win in the WarGames match at Survivor Series this past November. Since leaving the Bloodline in 2023, “Main Event” Jey Uso is looking for his first world championship reign, with previous title shots coming against Roman Reigns and the man Uso faces tonight: Gunther.

If you open a dictionary and flip to the word “dominance,” there’s a pretty good chance you’ll see Gunther as the example picture. The “Ring General” has been nothing short of the complete package since his debut in NXT UK, where he would set a record for the longest NXT United Kingdom title reign at 870 days. The dominance has continued since Gunther’s main-roster debut, where he would win the Intercontinental Championship in June of 2022 before setting on another record-setting 666-day reign as the longest Intercontinental Champion, knocking off the Honky Tonk Man’s single-reign record by 212 days before losing the title at WrestleMania XL.

Uso and Gunther have had a storied rivalry for both the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Championships, with Gunther currently holding a 3-0 record over Uso. After Uso chose to face Gunther at WrestleMania, the mind games and beatings have been non-stop. However, Gunther would go a step further by zip-tying Uso to the ropes as he beat, bloodied, and strangled Jimmy while making “Main Event” Jey watch.

This match will be fiery. This match will show the heart and soul that make the World Heavyweight Championship as prestigious as its namesake, stemming back to the days of the National Wrestling Alliance and World Championship Wrestling.

For Jey, it’s time to put up or shut up. For Gunther, one more win and the “Yeet” movement is off his back, hopefully for good.

And now, the lights go down for our opening contest…

FINISH

The winner of this match by submission, and NEW World Heavyweight Champion, “Main Event” Jey Uso!

Uso went to hell and back to earn his first world championship in his career. This match was a slugfest between Gunther and Uso, and Uso has exacted his revenge on the “Ring General” for putting Jimmy Uso to sleep.

Jey Uso also earns the distinction of becoming a Triple Crown Champion–his championship win tonight completes the trifecta, with his previous qualifying titles being both tag team championships and the Intercontinental Championship.
