WrestleMania 41 concluded its two-night Las Vegas spectacle on April 20 with a star-studded, chaos-filled Night 2 inside Allegiant Stadium. From shocking title changes to surprise appearances and brutal street fights, WWE delivered an unforgettable finale to its biggest event of the year.
The main event saw John Cena defeat Cody Rhodes to win the Undisputed WWE Championship, marking Cena’s record-setting 17th world title victory. The match was filled with drama and controversy, including interference from Travis Scott, a downed referee, and an exposed turnbuckle. Despite Cody surviving an early Attitude Adjustment and a top-rope Super AA, Cena took full advantage of the no-rules chaos. After a low blow and a belt shot, Cena pinned Cody clean to close the show. Travis Scott celebrated alongside Cena post-match, completing a stunning turn after weeks of speculation.
Earlier, Becky Lynch shocked the crowd by returning to WWE after nearly a year away. In the WWE Women’s Tag Team Title match, she replaced an injured Bayley as Lyra Valkyria’s mystery partner. Lynch and Valkyria defeated Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez after Becky hit Liv with a Man Handle Slam. Valkyria, already the Women’s Intercontinental Champion, now holds two titles after the emotional win. Lynch hadn’t wrestled since her Steel Cage Match loss to Morgan in May 2024.
Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest unleashed absolute carnage in a Sin City Street Fight. McIntyre mocked Priest mid-match by taking a selfie of his battered body, but Priest responded with a Razor’s Edge through a table. The match escalated with steel steps, exposed turnbuckles, and ringside weaponry. McIntyre closed the match with a Claymore into a chair wedged in the corner for the win. However, he limped out of the ring post-match, sparking concerns about a potential leg injury.
Dominik Mysterio stole the Intercontinental Championship in a fatal four-way featuring Bron Breakker, Finn Balor, and Penta El Zero Miedo. Carlito interfered, targeting Bron, but Breakker delivered a spectacular spear through the announce table. After a chaotic final stretch, Dominik nailed a frog splash on Balor and pinned him to become champion, much to the shock of the Las Vegas crowd.
Randy Orton faced surprise opponent Joe Hendry in an open challenge match. After a quick bout, Orton hit an RKO to score the win. Post-match, he raised Hendry’s hand—only to drop him with another RKO seconds later, sending a clear message to the locker room.
In a highly anticipated clash, Logan Paul defeated AJ Styles in a match full of athletic counters and high spots. With interference teased by Logan’s entourage and an unexpected assist from Karrion Kross, Paul outmaneuvered AJ and landed a reverse suplex into a DDT to secure the win. Kross and AJ nearly came to blows afterward, teasing a new feud on the horizon.
WrestleMania Night 2 also featured a stirring national anthem performance from Ava Max, a “Welcome Home” address from Stephanie McMahon, and a special “Stone Cold” Steve Austin attendance announcement—the final tally: 63,226 for Night 2, bringing the total weekend attendance to 124,693.
Night 2 wrapped WrestleMania 41 with massive moments that reshaped WWE’s future. Cody Rhodes is no longer champion, John Cena stands on top once more, Becky Lynch is back in gold, and new challengers are already lining up. The fallout begins now—and the road to SummerSlam has officially begun.
