Thoughts of the Premium Live Event | WWE WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Nevada (Night Two) | Live Event Show:
Thoughts: The show kicked off with one of the greatest women's triple-threat matches in history, in my opinion, as three of the best in WWE dished it out in an amazing opener. Iyo Sky retained her title, which caught me by surprise as I thought Bianca Belair was going to win. Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest had a very good street fight as we saw a lot of chaos and brutal violence, and it was capped off with Drew McIntyre standing tall. Drew McIntyre needed this win badly as he can move on and go after a title. The Fatal-Four Way match was one of the matches I was most excited about, as they had four of the people I enjoy watching weekly. This was fun, as we saw Dominik Mysterio capture his 2nd singles title in WWE as he's the new WWE Intercontinental Champion after pinning his stablemate Finn Balor to win. Randy Orton had an open challenge, which was answered by the TNA World Champion Joe Hendry, to one of the biggest reactions of the night. It was a super quick match, but it was fun. As the fans were enjoying it was a cool little filler match where the fans got a super shocking moment and enjoyed it. One of the letdowns from tonight was the AJ Styles and Logan Paul match, as I feel like Logan Paul had his worst performance, and it didn't help that AJ Styles didn't look like himself. Karrion Kross made an appearance trying to convince AJ Styles to get the brass knuckles and win this match, but it didn't work as it caused Logan Paul to win. The Women's Tag Team Champion was next, and we saw the return of Becky Lynch as she substituted for Bayley after she got mysteriously taken out by someone. But this match was very much a filler to show the return of Becky Lynch, and we got new champions as Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch are your new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. The Main Event came, and it was the most disappointing thing in wrestling in the year of 2025. This match just felt flat and boring, and we saw Travis Scott aid John Cena, and now John Cena is a 17x World Champion. My issue with this match is that it could have been better, and we saw John Cena be able to put up good performances, as in the Elimination Chamber, he was doing that. This match was a huige letdown and sucks this is how Cody Rhodes title reign ended The Rock ishould've been involved but he did nothing in this build outside of the soul selling bit very much letdown but now we will see a new chapter for Cody Rhpdes and John Cena will get to ruin wrestling. Overall, the show started super good, then the Main Event left a huge stain on it. If the main event was good, this would've been a memorable event because of John Cena winning his 17th World Championship in a very good match. But it sucks this was a sad ending to a very solid event all-around.
WWE Premium Live Event | WWE WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Nevada (Night Two) | Match Ratings:
The Opening Match: Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Women's World Championship | Match Rating: ***** | What an amazing way to open WrestleMania Night Two. This was a spectacular Triple Threat Match by all these women in this match. My MVP of this match had to be Iyo Sky, as she had a wonderful performance. Bianca Belair was amazing as well in this match. She delivered in this match, and she did a great job playing the heel in this match. Rhea Ripley looked very sharp in this match. The closing match sequences were amazing. I'm super glad Iyo Sky was retained in this amazing match. I always thought this match should have been of Main event on Night One of WrestleMania, but now this is officially Iyo Sky's decision on RAW.
2nd Match: Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre in a Sin City Street Fight | Match Rating: ****.25 | This match exceeded my expectations. What a performance by both men. This was such a fun Street Fight. The crowd started to get into this match after a couple of minutes. We heard some "This is Awesome" chants, and Drew McIntyre took a little flick while beating up Damian Priest. Drew McIntyre in the closing moments had some vicious moments, and he capped it off with another Claymore to secure the victory. This was such a fun match, and I'm glad Drew McIntyre came out on top; he needed this win badly.
3rd Match: Bron Breakker (c) vs. Penta vs. Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio in a Fatal-Four Way Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship | Match Rating: **** | I was so excited for this match, and it delivered big-time. The build for this match was very solid in my opinion. But this was a fun one. Bron Breakker looked like a total monster in this match. Penta was showing off in the match. Dominik Mysterio was the crowd favorite in this match as the crowd went nuts when he stabbed Finn Balor in the back when he went for the 619, but it didn't go his way. But man, what a moment for Dominik Mysterio as he's the new WWE Intercontinental Champion. That was my pick for this match to win it, but man, what a moment for him, and I'm very interested to see how his WWE Intercontinental Championship reign will be.
4th Match: Randy Orton vs. Joe Hendry in a Singles Match | Match Rating: N/A | What a moment as the TNA World Champion Joe Hendry makes his WrestleMania Debut in one of the biggest pops of this year. I can’t believe how over Joe Hendry was as he was introduced to the Las Vegas crowd, they did his chant, and sang along. This was a super quick match as Randy Orton hit an RKO to get the win. After the match, Randy Orton hit another RKO for good measure as the fans erupted.
5th Match: Logan Paul vs. AJ Styles in a Singles Match | Match Rating: *** | Well... a very underwhelming match. AJ Styles is a legend, but I don't know what it is that he never had an amazing match at WrestleMania. Logan Paul seemed very sluggish and had some clunky moments. AJ Styles had some good moments in this match. I popped huge for Karrion Kross, making an appearance playing devil's advocate for AJ Styles, telling him to use the knuckles to win, but he didn't listen then. Logan Paul got the upper hand to get the win over AJ Styles, which shocked me big time, as I thought AJ Styles was going to win. Very lackluster match could've been better if this was the RAW Main Event.
6th Match: The Judgement Day (Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez) (c) vs. Becky Lynch & Lyra Valkyria in a Tag Team Match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships | Match Rating: ***.25 | Welcome back, Becky Lynch. The RAW Women's Roster just got boosted up big time with her return. This was a fun little filler match, which was highlighted by her return to WWE. Now, Lyra Valkyria holds two belts at the same time, and Becky Lynch didn't miss a beat as she's once again the champion in WWE. The Judgement Day's own Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez had a very solid showing in this match. They looked fine in this match; they didn't pop out like how Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch did, but they did their job in this match.
The Main Event Match: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. John Cena in a Singles Match for the WWE Championship | Match Rating: * | A very poor match. This match felt very flat. I didn't like the slow pace of this match, and I know John Cena can still go at a fast pace. We saw it at the Elimination Chamber. But I was just very much let down. Cody Rhodes was trying everything to make this a very good match but John Cena was doing that very cocky slow moves. There were some good moments. I like how resilient Cody Rhodes was after the four AA's he took from John Cena. Travis Scott's coming out was so confusing. Why was he needed? Why couldn't it be The Rock? This was such a letdown. very much upset about this, and the way the match ended was so poor it's not even funny. Awful, just awful.
WWE Premium Live Event | WWE WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Nevada (Night Two) | Match of the Night: Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Women's World Championship | Match Rating: *****
WWE Premium Live Event | WWE WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Nevada (Night Two) | Event Grade: 6.25/10 (C+) | A very strong start as the first couple matches delievered big-time as I enjoyed the first four matches but after that the show went down hill very much upset on how the Main Event Match was just very upset that’s what made my rating for the show dropped. Overall, just not happy with how the match went down. I’m happy John Cena won, but not happy how poorly that match was.
