Wrestlemania 41 - live: Updates and results from night two in Vegas as John Cena beats Cody Rhodes
John Cena cheated to beat Cody Rhodes and win a record 17th world title on night two in Las Vegas
The second night of WrestleMania 41 is reaching its conclusion, after night one saw plenty of twists and title changes.
On Saturday at Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium, Paul Heyman betrayed CM Punk and Roman Reigns in their main-event triple threat, siding with Seth Rollins and ensuring him victory. Elsewhere, Jey Uso finally won a world title by submitting Gunther, Jacob Fatu dethroned US Champion LA Knight, and Tiffany Stratton retained her world championship against rival Charlotte.
There were other fun matches and results, too, before Sunday opened with Iyo Sky’s successful world-title defence in a thrilling triple threat, as she overcame Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley. Drew McIntyre then beat rival Damian Priest, before Dom Mysterio won the Intercontinental Title and Randy Orton beat surprise opponent Joe Hendry.
Becky Lynch returned to become a tag-team champion after Logan Paul defeated AJ Styles, before Stone Cold Steve Austin emerged to deafening cheers.
All that was left was the main event, as the villainous John Cena cheated to beat Cody Rhodes and win a record 17th world title – with the help of rapper Travis Scott, in a bizarre scene. You can re-live WrestleMania 41 below:
Punk says 'I f***ing did it'
Pictured by our man in Las Vegas, Punk reportedly said to himself “I f**king did it” with tears in his eyes after the main event.
From the indies to the WrestleMania main event. No one deserved that more than Punk.
Heyman aligns himself with Rollins
An image no one thought they would ever see? Or a predictable ending? Only time will tell.
Heyman screws both Punk and Reigns. Rollins wins!
Paul Heyman interjects himself in the main event by sliding a chair to CM Punk to use on Reigns. However, before Punk gets to use it, Heyman hits a low blow on Punk and turns on him.
Heyman then gives the chair to Reigns who tells him to use it on Rollins. History quickly repeats itself as Heyman then low blows Reigns.
Rollins then uses the chair to strike down Reigns and pin him for the win. Heyman raises the hand of seemingly his new client as the WrestleMania main event concludes. 10 years after winning his first WrestleMania main event, Rollins wins his second.
Reigns destroys both tables
After declining Rollins offer to recreate the Shield powerbomb, Reigns decides to powerbomb Punk through the an announce table by himself.
He then powerbombs Rollins through the second announce table.
Reigns tries to get the victory by rolling Rollins back into the ring and hitting him with a spear only for The Architect to kick out! Unreal stuff.
It's time for the main event...
There’s only one match left and it’s a bit of doozy.
No titles on the line in the Night 1 main event; this is simply a grudge match between former partners Reigns and Rollins – and Punk, who has issues with both men. A key part of the build-up has seen Punk call in a favour from Paul Heyman (his old friend and Reigns’s manager), who will be in Punk’s corner for this one.
The build for this one has been a bit convoluted and while we wish they were actually fighting for something (rather than the rights to Paul Heyman) there is no denying that there is some serious star power in this match.
