WWE WrestleMania 38 night two results, grades: Roman Reigns unifies world titles in historic main event

Roman Reigns made history in a hard hitting main event to close a phenomenal .

The Tribal Chief beat Brock Lesnar to become the new Undisputed Universal Champion as the longtime rivals added a good chapter to their feud in a winner takes all unification bout.

The action itself wasn’t anything fans hadn’t seen before, but that didn’t matter to an electric crowd in Dallas, Texas who were hanging onto every move from bell to bell.

In the end, Reigns did enough to pick up the win and keep his powerful run at the top rolling, and potentially set upat next year’s WrestleMania in Hollywood.

The opening match saw RK-Bro retain the Raw Tag Team Titles in an exciting, energetic and all round thrilling clash with Street Profits and Alpha Academy.

It ended with a springboard RKO from Riddle followed by a fantastic one from Randy Orton out of a diving headbutt from Chad Gable.

Afterwards, he interrupted an in ring party between his two opposing teams and Gable Stevenson, which earned him a huge belly to belly from his fellow Olympian.

Bobby Lashley beat Omos in a decent heavyweight scrap, with the giant’s offence looking nasty and the All Mighty delighting the crowd with an impressive suplex en route to his win.

Johnny Knoxville and Sami Zayn hit the level of silliness everyone was hoping for from their Anything Goes Match.

The Jackass star stayed true to his legacy as he won with the use of everything from .

Next, Sasha Banks and Naomi won the Women’s Tag Team Titles in a great fatal four way for the gold.

The Mania win was a huge moment for the Legit Boss, and her involvement suggests bosses could be ready to give the division some much needed attention.

Expectations were high going into Edge versus AJ Styles, and they built to something very special in a multilayered rollercoaster of a clash that matched the dream match tag.

The ending was fantastically done too, as Damian Priest – looking much more sinister – appeared and distracted Styles, leading to Edge’s win.

After the bell, the Archer of Infamy bowed down to the Iconoclast before they posed together pointing towards an unholy alliance between two generations of talent. 

In a powerful moment, the Hall of Fame class of 2022 – who appeared on stage on Saturday night – were honoured once again, before The Undertaker made another entrance to thank a packed stadium of fans.

The New Day lost to Sheamus and Ridge Holland in a bout cut for time from night one – and its spot here was fun albeit far too brief to mean anything.

Pat McAfee beat Austin Theory in a wildly fun bout with plenty of hype thanks to a phenomenal entrance for the former NFL star, who came out to Seven Nation Army flanked by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

After a cracking bout soundtracked by the crowd belting out the song’s iconic bass line – during which McAfee hit a hurricanrana and proved he could hang in the ring more regularly – there was more to come.

First, Mr. McMahon actually got in the ring to face Pat himself, and even beat the SmackDown commentator with the help of Theory.

The duo were celebrating when the glass shattered and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin came out to spoil their party.

He hit Theory with the stunner and – after plenty of teasing and a gulp of beer – .

It wasn’t a classic, but it really didn’t matter – and the Stunner on McAfee afterwards was the icing on the cake.
