Bronson Reed returns

The biggest surprise came during Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker. After interference from Austin Theory, Logan Paul and Maxxine Dupri failed to give Breakker the advantage, Bronson Reed made his shocking return.

Reed attacked Femi with a steel chair and followed with multiple Tsunami splashes. The referee disqualified Breakker, but Reed and Breakker continued attacking Femi after the bell. 

Tick Williams regains the U.S. Title

Lil Yachty somehow survived the full five-minute challenge against Baron Corbin, despite Corbin hitting him with two End of Days attempts and putting a table into the match.

That immediately triggered Trick Williams vs. Corbin. Williams survived Corbin’s punishment, countered the End of Days and hit the Trick Shot to reclaim the United States Championship. 

Jade Cargill scores a major win

Jade Cargill, Michin and B-Fab defeated Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley.

The finish came after Flair and Paxley attempted simultaneous Figure Eight submissions. B-Fab knocked Paxley into Flair, allowing Cargill to hit Jaded on Charlotte for the victory. 

Orton defeats Rhodes

The main event was a brutal WrestleMania rematch between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton.

The fight spilled into the crowd before the bell and became increasingly personal. Rhodes appeared ready to deliver a punt kick to Orton, but hesitated when Orton pleaded for mercy.

Orton took advantage, hitting Rhodes with a low blow before connecting with an RKO for the decisive victory.
