WrestleMania 42 wrapped up in massive fashion with Night 2 delivering shocking results, emotional moments, and a blockbuster main event that reshaped WWE’s championship landscape. From Brock Lesnar’s apparent retirement to Roman Reigns once again standing tall at the top, here’s everything that went down.
John Cena Opens the Show
John Cena kicked off the night, hyping up the historic feel of WrestleMania airing live on ESPN for the first time. With over 55,000 fans in attendance for Night 2, the energy was undeniable as Cena welcomed everyone to the second half of WWE’s biggest event.
Oba Femi Defeats Brock Lesnar
In a true clash of powerhouses, Oba Femi went toe-to-toe with Brock Lesnar and didn’t blink. After surviving multiple German suplexes and an F-5, Femi fired back with a chokeslam and his devastating Fall From Grace to score the biggest win of his career.
The post-match moment quickly overshadowed the result. A shaken Lesnar removed his gloves and boots in the ring, embraced Paul Heyman, and soaked in “Thank You, Brock” chants from the crowd. It appears Lesnar has ended his wrestling career.
Penta Retains Intercontinental Title in Chaotic Ladder Match
The six-man Intercontinental Championship ladder match delivered exactly what you’d expect—absolute chaos. Penta, Dragon Lee, JD McDonagh, Je’Von Evans, Rey Mysterio, and Rusev tore the house down with wild spots involving ladders bridged across the ring and floor.
After a series of brutal exchanges—including a flip piledriver onto a bridged ladder—Penta managed to climb the ladder and retain his title, surviving one of the most dangerous matches of the weekend.
Trick Williams Wins United States Championship
Trick Williams captured his first main roster singles title by defeating Sami Zayn in a hard-fought battle. Despite interference from Lil Yachty and Zayn’s aggressive tactics, Williams capitalized with the Trick Shot to secure the win.
The celebration that followed, with Williams sharing the moment with his family, marked a major milestone in his rise.
The Demon Finn Bálor Defeats Dominik Mysterio (Street Fight)
The Demon made a violent return and endured everything Dominik Mysterio threw at him—chairs, kendo sticks, and even a table-assisted assault.
Dominik pushed Bálor to the limit, but the Demon persona proved too much. A Coup de Grace through a table sealed the deal, giving Bálor a decisive and brutal victory.
Rhea Ripley Wins WWE Women’s Championship
In a powerhouse showdown, Rhea Ripley dethroned Jade Cargill in a physically intense match. Outside interference from both sides briefly shifted momentum, but Ripley ultimately connected with the Riptide to capture the title.
The win reestablishes Ripley at the top of the women’s division after a hard-hitting contest.
John Cena Segment Takes a Turn
Cena returned to the ring later in the night to announce the official attendance before being interrupted by The Miz and Kit Wilson.. What followed was a bizarre but memorable segment featuring Danhausen and a group of “Mini Danhausens,” ending with Miz and Kit getting embarrassed and Miz getting carried away by the Mini Danhausens.
Classic WrestleMania chaos.
Roman Reigns Defeats CM Punk to Win WWE World Championship
The main event delivered on every level. CM Punk and Roman Reigns battled in a gritty, hard-hitting war that saw both men push each other to the brink.
From announce table destruction to multiple near falls—including Go to Sleep and Spear exchanges—this one felt like it could end at any moment. Punk even resorted to underhanded tactics, but Reigns refused to stay down.
In the end, Reigns connected with a final Spear to secure the victory and reclaim the WWE World Championship.
Final Thoughts
WrestleMania 42 Night 2 had a bit of everything—career-defining wins, emotional exits, and major title changes. With Roman Reigns back on top, Rhea Ripley holding gold again, and new stars like Oba Femi and Trick Williams breaking through, WWE’s landscape looks very different coming out of WrestleMania.
And if Brock Lesnar truly took his final bow, it’s the end of an era that defined dominance for over a decade.
