WWE WrestleMania 39 Night 2 Results: Roman Reigns retains the championship, Edge slays Demon Balor

Results from WWE WrestleMania 39 Night 2: On Night 2 of WrestleMania 39 on Sunday, April 2nd, Roman Reigns’ historic title reign continues, while Cody Rhodes’ dreams are dashed. Edge was finally able to defeat Finn Balor after slaying his demons.

The night began with Brock Lesnar facing off against Omos in a quick match. Omos dominated Lesnar for the majority of the match until the Beast came back to slay the Giant with an F5.

 

 

The WrestleMania Showcase match was up next, with four teams competing for the victory. Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey sat back and watched the other three teams compete. As the other six superstars tried to one-up each other, Rousey would swoop in and make Shotzi tap out, giving her the victory.

The third match on the Night 2 card was Gunther defending the Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat against Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. With their performance, the three men brought the house down. Sheamus and McIntyre were able to keep the champion out of the match and slug it out for a long time. Gunther, on the other hand, came back at the right time and pinned McIntyre to win.

 

 

As promised, the RAW Women’s Championship match between Bianca Belair and Asuka delivered. Both women delivered hard-hitting offence, with Asuka pushing Belair to her limits. From the mist to her submission moves, the Empress Of Tomorrow tried everything in the book. However, Belair was able to dig deep and win in the end.

Snoop Dogg put The Miz in another match, this time against the returning Shane McMahon. Shane O’Mac’s big return, however, quickly turned sour when he tweaked his knee and was unable to compete. Snoop Dogg would save the day by knocking out Miz and hitting his version of the People’s Elbow to win the match.

 

 

Edge and Finn Balor’s grudge match inside Hell In A Cell soon followed, with both men looking to tear each other apart. On the night, the Demon version of Balor took on the Rated-R Superstar. Balor was cut open by a ladder in a terrifying moment, but he persevered and finished the match. Edge finished the fight by hitting a Con-Chair-To on the Demon and eventually slaying him.

The main event was an emotional experience for Rhodes, who was surrounded by family and friends. For the most part, Reigns appeared to be in command, with Solo Sikoa assisting him. When Rhodes sent Reigns through the announcer’s table, things shifted in Rhodes’ favour, and the American Nightmare took control of the match.

 

 

The referee noticed Sikoa’s attempt to assist Reigns. To the surprise of everyone inside the SoFi stadium, Rhodes hit the Cross Rhodes on Reigns, but the Tribbal Chief kicked out at two.

Rhodes turned the Tribal Chief’s attempt at a Superman Punch into a Pedigree, but it wasn’t enough to knock the Tribal Chief out. When Reigns hit a thunderous Spear, he thought he had it in the bag. However, Rhodes kicked out at the last second to keep the match alive.

 

 

The referee was knocked out briefly, and The Usos attempted to assist Reigns during this time. But Zayn and KO intervened to level the playing field and eliminate Reigns. Although Rhodes’ pin was close, Reigns remained in the fight.

However, Sikoa came back in the end to give Reigns the victory, hitting Rhodes with the Samoan Spike while The Tribal Chief hit the Spear to retain the title.
