Grade: A
What a match. All three women did their best to try to murder each other tonight. Ripley sending SKY into the top of the ring post was one of the most gnarly things we’ve seen all weekend. Despite the early boos, Belair won the crowd back with her supreme athleticism and will to compete. Belair used her power to toss SKY and Ripley all over the ring. This one started fast and ended with a bang, with each near fall seemingly more realistic than the next. SKY’s win was telegraphed with Ripley and Belair dismissing her for the entire build; despite that, this one lived up to the hype. This writer doesn’t envy the match that has to follow that.

Grade: B
This one was as intense as the Jade Cargill vs. Naomi match should have been. We have seen a ton of garbage matches this weekend, which is a good thing because it made this match that much more special. Both Priest and McIntyre used their environment to their advantage with all of the chair shots and broken tables. McIntyre gets what, in his mind, his revenge in the most vicious way possible, with a nasty chair that assists Claymore. Priest should be taken out on a stretcher after that.

Grade: B+
This writer isn’t in the camp of people who think WrestleMania Night One wasn’t good, but so far, Night Two has put Night One to shame. This match was insane. Breakker killed each person in this match at various points. Even in a loss, Breakker still looks like a million bucks. Everyone shined in this one, which is a theme for the weekend. The finish of this one was perfection, with Mysterio stealing the victory from Bálor’s grasp. This was the best possible outcome, as it set up about a dozen potential challengers right out of the gate for Mysterio. Literally, everyone hates him.

Grade: B
No one saw Joe Hendry coming. This was short but so much fun. Orton clearly had a ball working with Hendry for this short feature match. Despite how the match turned out, Hendry managed to captivate the WrestleMania crowd during his brief moment in the WWE spotlight. This was a fantastic piece of business.

Winner- Logan Paul
Grade: C+
So far, this was the weakest match of the night. This felt like another throwaway TV match. It’s great that Styles managed to make the card, but this match against Paul had little to no heat coming into the match, and that didn’t change once the bell rang.
Lyra Valkyria’s mystery partner is… Becky Lynch!

Winners and NEW WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria!
Grade: C
There wasn’t a person in the arena who didn’t know that Valkyria’s partner would be Lynch. Lynch looked good out there, but this match had Raw main event written all over it. There wasn’t anything particularly spectacular about it; it was just fine. All four of these women would have been better served in singles matches.

Winner and NEW Undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena!
Grade: B
This match started off a bit on the slow side. Cena pulled out every old-school bad-guy tactic he could think of. Cena and Rhodes worked well together, and Cena had to win this match, but WWE’s insistence on including Travis Scott took away from the proceedings. We got Scott, but not one sign of The Rock. What was the point of having him involved, to begin with? Cena should go on the heel run of all heel runs to close out his career. This is just the beginning of what will be amazing TV.
WWE WrestleMania 41 Night Two Review:
WrestleMania Night Two delivered in a big way, outshining Night One with emotional storytelling, vicious brawls, and satisfying payoffs—though not without a few stumbles along the way. The night kicked off strong and arguably peaked early with the Women’s World Championship triple threat, which saw IYO SKY steal the show—and the win—after a brutal, high-energy clash with Ripley and Belair. That was the match of the night, for sure. The night had a few so-so contests (the women’s tag match and Paul v. Styles). Night Two wasn’t flawless, but it had a real big-match feel throughout, and the highs—particularly the women’s triple threat and Dom’s sneaky title win—more than made up for the stumbles. Tonight felt like WrestleMania.
