Wrestling Review : WWE – Wrestlemania 42 Night Two

WWE

Wrestlemania 42

Night Two

Singles Match
Brock Lesnar (w/Paul Heyman) vs. Oba Femi

Oba is super over here. Under 5 minutes and Oba shockingly takes the win. He makes Lesner look small almost and manhandles him at the end. In shocking events though post match Lesner removes his boots and seemingly retires breaking character and almost crying in ring. A legendary career ending. 

4 / 5

WWE Intercontinental Title Six Pack Ladder Match
Penta (c) vs. Rey Mysterio vs. JD McDonagh vs. Rusev vs. Dragon Lee vs. Je’Von Evans

This was fine but just felt lackluster. A few really good spots and a lot of fun action overall but it felt like it was missing something. As if we were close to getting to that major moment and just didn’t. 

3 / 5

WWE United States Title Match
Sami Zayn (c) vs. Trick Williams (w/Lil Yachty)

Trick looks and feels like a star so getting him the belt here works. It was just a fine match and once again a Wrestlemania with a 7 minute title match is just sad. 

3 / 5

Street Fight
Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio

Good to see Balor get a win here. Mysterio winning would have a been a nice upset though. Solid no DQ type fight here where the feuds at least been there for a long time. 

3.25 / 5

WWE Women’s Title Match
Jade Cargill (c) vs. Rhea Ripley

 I just still don’t find Jade good in ring. Nothing has really improved since AEW for her and Rhea with a belt is always a safe choice. 

2.5 / 5

WWE World Heavyweight Title Match
CM Punk (c) vs. Roman Reigns

Finally a good match from Wrestlemania. I hope this is the end of them feuding because this was a great send off. A 30 minute fight here that felt like both men were giving it their all, which is great given both have had some less than stellar matches this last year, and they sent the crowd home happy. 

4.5 / 5
