  • United States Championship – John Cena defeats Rusev (with Lana) (C)

Headline – Cena would hand Rusev his first main roster loss when Lana would try and distract Cena but would get accidentally knocked off of the apron by Rusev and Cena would use the distraction to hit Rusev with the Attitude Adjustment and get the 3-count.

Rating – 3.2 out of 5

  • Singles Match – The Undertaker defeats Bray Wyatt

Headline – Bray Wyatt would once again lose a match at WrestleMania that he had absolutely no business losing. It was the perfect time to have the torch passed from Taker to Wyatt when it comes to the characters who bring the darkness to the company, but for some reason, WWE just didn’t see it that way. Wyatt would kick out of a Tombstone Pile-driver and hit Taker with a “Sister Abigail”, which Taker kicked out of and then Taker would hit a second Tombstone for the win over Wyatt.

Rating – 3.2 out of 5

As both men were down, Rollins came running down to the ring and the match officially became a triple-threat match. Rollins pushed Reigns out of the ring and hit Lesnar with a “Curb Stomp”, then went for a second stomp but Lesnar caught him and was about to attempt and F-5 but Reigns came back in the ring and hit him with a spear, Lesnar rolled out of the ring and Rollins would hit Reigns with a “Curb Stomp” to win the WWE Championship and would celebrate with the title on the stage as the show ended.
