WrestleMania 38, the 'Most Stupendous Two-Night Event In WrestleMania History', has just been held and from all accounts it was a complete success. Although it looked lackluster on paper, it is being cited as possibly the greatest WresteMania event of all time

Day 1 results [Attendance: 77,899]
SPOILER:
  • In the opening SmackDown Tag Team Championship match, Jimmy and Jay Uso defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs via pinfall to retain the titles. However, Boggs suffered a legitimate injury when he tore his quad-patellar tendon in his leg which resulted in a rushed ending to the match. Apparently he is due to undergo surgery in the coming days to repair the injury
  • Drew McIntyre defeated Happy Corbin (with Madcap Moss) via pinfall in a standard singles match. After the bout, McIntyre swung his sword at Moss and managed to cut through the two top ropes of the ring!
  • In a tag-team match, The Miz and Logan Paul defeated Rey and Dominick Mysterios via pinfall
  • In the WWE RAW Womens Championship match, Bianca Belair defeated Becky Lynch via pinfall to gain the title
  • The returning Cody Rhodes defeated Seth Rollins via pinfall in a standard singles match. Unexpectedly, Rhodes, who hasn't wrestled for the WWE since May 2016 received probably the second loudest pop of the event on his entrance
  • In the WWE SmackDown Womens Chalpionship, Charlotte Flair defeated Ronda Rousey via pinfall to retain the title
  • In the most anticipated match of the last 20 years, and WrestleMania 38's worst kept secret, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin defeated Kevin Owens in a 'No Holds Barred' match. It wasn't the best fight either man has ever had, but as a 'special moment' it was incredible. We just need to wait and see what the future holds for Stone Cold now!


Day 2 Results [Attendance: 78,453]
SPOILER:
  • The show started with Triple H making an elaborate entrance to leave his boots in the ring, finishing off the recent news that he is officially retired from in-ring action after his recent health problems
  • In the opening Triple threat tag team match for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship, RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Riddle) defeated The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) and Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis) by pinfall to retain the titles
  • Bobby Lashley defeated Omos by pinfall in a standard singles match
  • Johnny Knoxville defeated Sami Zayn via pinfall in an 'anything goes' match
  • In a Fatal four-way tag team match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, Sasha Banks and Naomi defeated Queen Zelina and Carmella, Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan, and Natalya and Shayna Baszler by pinfall to gain the titles
  • Edge defeated AJ Styles via pinfall in a standard singles match
  • Sheamus and Ridge Holland def. The New Day (Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston) via pinfall in a standard tag team match
  • Pat McAfee defeated Austin Theory via pinfall in a standard singles match
  • Vince McMahon defeated Pat McAfee via pinfall in a standard singles match. After the match, 'Stone Cold' returned to the ring and gave Vinnie Mac a stunner to the delight of the audience!
  • In the final Winner Takes All match to unify the WWE Championship and WWE Universal Championship, Universal Champions Roman Reigns (with Paul Heyman) defeated WWE Champion Brock Lesnar by pinfall


...And a million internet memes were created!


The next scheduled PPV is 'WrestlaMania Backlash', which is due to be held on May 8th

At the same time that the second night of WrestleMania was being held, the NXT had their 'Stand And Deliver' PPV
