WWE WrestleMania 41 Night 2 Results, Highlights: After an intriguing finish the night before, Night 2 of WrestleMania 41 started on a grand note with the WWE Women's World Championship on the line. Champion Iyo Sky defended the gold against Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley in a triple threat showdown. It didn't take long before chaos broke out and just when it felt Belair would walk away with the title after hitting Ripley with a KOD, Sky went to break the pinfall with a moonsault from over the top rope and retained her title by successfully covering Belair.
The second match was a street fight between Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre, a feud building since the previous edition of WrestleMania. Then Priest had cashed in his Money In The Bank briefcase to snatch the WWE Heavyweight Championship from McIntyre, who barely got to hold it for five minutes. Ever since the two superstars have mostly been at eachother, leading to frequent backstage assaults.
On expected lines the match was filled with brutality but it was McIntyre, who walked out with a victory after hitting his opponent with a Claymore and winning it by pinfall.
The third match, however, saw a surprising ending as Dominik Mysterio finally grabbed his first singles title. Mysterio was part of the fatal four way match against Bron Breakker, Penta, and Judgement Day member Finn Balor with the Intercontinental title on the line. The match also saw the involvement of Carlito, who saved Dominik from getting pinned by Penta. However, this led to Carlito getting hit with a spear by Bron, which was executed from one announce table to the other. Meanwhile, coming back the match closed with Dominik successfully connecting a 619 on Bron, following which Balor got involved and tried taking his Judgement Day member out of the equation. He then hit Bron with a Coup de Grace and went for the cover, which was broken with a frogsplash by Dominik, who then covered Balor for the win.
Joe Hendry, the current TNA World Champion, walked out as the unannounced opponent to face Randy Orton and the 'Legend Killer' didn't have much trouble completing the job. He also attacked Hendry with a RKO post match.
Logan Paul went to defeat AJ Styles in one-on-one action, which came after Styles was distracted by Karrion Kross at ringside.
Becky Lynch then made a grand return to WWE and along with Women's Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria went to beat Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. This saw Lynch grab the women's tag team championship on her return. Originally Valkyria was supposed to partner Bayley but a storyline related injury forced the latter had to withdraw. WWE had released a video just before Night 1, which showed Bayley left in pain after a backstage assault, the identity of whom is yet to be revealed.
The match saw plenty of action from women in both corners and just when it felt Morgan would win after connecting an Oblivion on Lynch the cover was broken by Valkyria. The women's Intercontinental Champion then Raquel out of the equation by executing a Tornado DDT outside the ring. Lynch closed the match with a Manhandle Slam on Morgan, giving her a new title on her return.
John Cena then went to beat Cody Rhodes in the main event to clinch his 17th WWE Championship title - the most by any superstar in WWE's history. The match saw Cena playing the heel role to perfection and an involvement by rapper Travis Scott. Cena eventually closed the match by attacking Cody with the WWE title while the referee lied unconscious outside the ring.
