<p>After a thrilling end to <a href="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/results/wwe-wrestlemania-37-night-1-results-grades-highlights/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WrestleMania Night 1</a>, WWE presented the final show of what was an action-packed week for PPVs in WWE. The Hall of Fame ceremonies, Takeover: Stand and Deliver, a WrestleMania-themed SmackDown, all leading up to WrestleMania Sunday.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Some of the matches couldn’t deliver, but this night was all about the highly anticipated main-event between three of the biggest stars in WWE.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at the results from the night two of the show.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Fiend vs. Randy Orton&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="YxLzQUxJd08"><iframe loading="lazy" title="The Fiend targets Randy Orton with eerie attack: WrestleMania 37 – Night 2 (WWE Network Exclusive)" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YxLzQUxJd08?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

<p>The Fiend had an elaborate entrance for the match and returned to his pre-charred avatar. The Fiend jumped out of a huge Jack in the Box, which was maneuvered by Alexa Bliss, and delivered a clothesline and Ura nage to the Viper.</p>



<p>Orton dropped Fiend onto the announce table, but it had no effect on the former Universal Champion. He locked in the Mandible Claw, but Orton escaped and hit a Draping DDT, again to no avail. Orton gained some momentum and looked to finish him off with the RKO, but Fiend retaliated with the Mandible Claw once again and went for Sister Abigail.</p>



<p>However, fire shot up from the ring posts, and Fiend looked at Alexa Bliss (who seemed to have caused the distraction). This allowed Orton to hit the RKO for the win.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#ececec"><strong>Result:</strong> Randy Orton def. The Fiend by pinfall</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#ececec"><strong>Grade:</strong> D</p>



<p><strong>Analysis:</strong> Fiend and Orton can’t seem to produce good matches at WrestleMania. Their initial battle at WrestleMania 33 was panned, and this was no better. After no-selling everything Orton threw at him, Fiend succumbed to one RKO, which is quite weak for a supernatural demon who has taken far more damage in the past. There are signs of a crack between Fiend and Bliss’ relationship, but it is quite impossible to predict the endgame.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Women’s Tag Team Championships | Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Tamina and Natalya</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="yWttpGBNW4w"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Natalya &amp; Tamina match power with Nia &amp; Shayna: WrestleMania 37 – Night 2 (WWE Network Exclusive)" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yWttpGBNW4w?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>Natalya and Baszler traded holds at the start of the match, before Baszler brought in Jax. Jax demanded for Tamina, and the two behemoths of the Women’s Division started massacring each other. Tamina came out on top in the challenge, and she and Natalya kept Baszler isolated for a while.</p>



<p>Baszler finally found an opening and hit a knee to Queen of Harts. Jax and Baszler got some shots on Natalya before a hot-tag to Tamina saw the star get some offense on Baszler. The champions quickly took back control, and Jax hit a crossbody for a nearfall. Tamina finally managed to slam Jax, and went for her splash but Jax dodged it. Natalya locked in the Sharpshooter on Jax, without realizing she wasn’t the legal woman in the match. Baszler appeared and put Natalya in the Kirifuda Clutch to end the match.</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#ececec"><strong>Result:</strong> Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler retain</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#ececec"><strong>Grade:</strong> B-</p>



<p><strong>Analysis:</strong> This was not an exceptional match, and it is quite a travesty to see many talented stars like Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Naomi, Bayley, etc., stay on the sidelines while three 35+ superstars perform at WrestleMania. Jax and Baszler’s partnership has been quite entertaining so far, but they need better opponents.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="GM-CWfrUA1A"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Kevin Owens hits Stunner on Logan Paul: WrestleMania 37 – Night 2 (WWE Network Exclusive)" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GM-CWfrUA1A?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>The two wasted no time in getting started, as Owens hit a powerbomb right out of the gate. He tried for another on the apron, but Zayn managed to prevent it from happening. He took more offense in the ring, before finally getting some momentum with the brainbuster on the apron, followed by the Michinoku Driver for the nearfall.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The action got even more intense with Owens hitting the Frog Splash for a two-count. Zayn hit an exploder suplex and a Blue Thunder Bomb for yet another nearfall. He delivered a flurry of suplexes, and another brainbuster but couldn’t keep Owens down.</p>



<p>Owens tried to attack, but it was countered into a Helluva Kick. Owens survived and hit superkicks followed by the Stunner for the win. After the match, Logan Paul kicked Sami Zayn out of the ring and raised Owens’ hand, but Owens delivered a Stunner to him as well for good measure.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#ececec"><strong>Result:</strong> Kevin Owens def. Sami Zayn by pinfall</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#ececec"><strong>Grade:</strong> A-</p>



<p><strong>Analysis:</strong> This could have been A+ easily if it got more time similar to their Battleground match in 2016. Zayn and Owens together in the ring is guaranteed magic, but WWE decided to end the magic show early for some reason.</p>



<p>There were doubts on whether Zayn can perform like his former self, and it seemed like he has found his mojo back. Both the stars are not doing much on the roster, and it won’t be a bad idea to turn Zayn face again and team up with Owens. And yes, Logan Paul was there.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>United States Championship | Riddle (c) vs. Sheamus </strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="sCXoeKeOGdU"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Riddle puts on an aerial show against Sheamus: WrestleMania 37 – Night 2 (WWE Network Exclusive)" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sCXoeKeOGdU?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>The challenger went on an all-out assault as soon as the bell rang, and focused on damaging the left arm of the Bro. Riddle’s comeback came to a halt quite soon, as Sheamus landed clubbing elbows to the superstar. The Irish star delivered his 10 Beats of the Bodhran, but was soon the recipient of a belly-to-belly suplex from the top.</p>



<p>Riddle continued the suplex mania and nailed the Jackhammer for a nearfall. Sheamus delivered a Brogue Kick, only for Riddle to kick out at two, which infuriated the former WWE Champion.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Riddle continued to show his athleticism and locked in Sheamus in a hold, only for the challenger to slam him into the mat. Sheamus delivered a White Noise from the top, followed by a knee drop but couldn’t keep the champ down. Riddle went for a springboard moonsault, but Sheamus caught him mid-air with the Brogue Kick for the win.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#ececec"><strong>Result:</strong> Sheamus def. Matt Riddle by pinfall</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#ececec"><strong>Grade:</strong> B+</p>



<p><strong>Analysis:</strong> This was a solid hard-hitting encounter between two quite contrasting personalities. It is great to see WWE reward Sheamus with the title, as he has easily done some of the best work of his career since the Pandemic and deserves a long run with the title. As for Riddle, his carefree persona doesn’t really need a title around the waist, he is entertaining without it as well.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Nigerian Drum Fight for Intercontinental Championship | Big E (c) vs. Apollo Crews</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="Fsp6rv5oXOs"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Big E slams Apollo Crews onto steel steps: WrestleMania 37 – Night 2 (WWE Network Exclusive)" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fsp6rv5oXOs?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>Big E received a grand entrance, with Wale performing his title song, as the innovative stipulation kicked off. Both the stars indulged in kendo stick massacre at the start of the match, with Big E coming out on top. Big E delivered his trademark suplex through the ropes as he continued the rampage.</p>



<p>Crews slowly fought his way back into the match, and almost slammed the ring steps onto the champion, who was perched on top of another. A Ura nage on the apron by Big E caused damage to Crews’ back, but the challenger came back with a series of kendo stick hits.</p>



<p>Big E moved out of a splash attempt by Crews, who went crashing through a table. The former New Day member delivered the Big Ending, but a sneak attack by Dabba Kato, allowed Crews to pick up the win.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Result:</strong> Apollo Crews def. Big E to win the Intercontinental Championship.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Grade:</strong> B+</p>



<p><strong>Analysis:</strong> These two have given solid encounters in the past, and continued the same with the high-intensity bout. Crews winning was not the most desirable outcome, considering fans still do not understand his gimmick. It does allow Big E to probably move up in the card for more enterprising opportunities, as WWE is clearly pinning their hopes on him to be a top babyface for the foreseeable future.</p>



<p>It was good to see Dabba-Kato back, who was last seen during the RAW Underground segments. He is a more agile version of Omos, and could help Crews become a legitimate star.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Raw Women’s Championship | Asuka (c) vs. Rhea Ripley</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="Utc5ss1NffM"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Asuka plants Rhea Ripley with DDT off the apron: WrestleMania 37 – Night 2 (WWE Network Exclusive)" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Utc5ss1NffM?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>Asuka landed several strikes at the start of the match, but it didn’t cause much damage to the Australian challenger. Ripley was served with even more kicks and knees, before Asuka missed the Hip Attack, allowing Ripley to get a kickstart. She delivered a few clotheslines, and countered Asuka’s leg lock into a German Suplex for a two-count.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Asuka didn’t back down and continued to hit several kicks, along with a German Suplex and the Hop Attack. Ripley kicked the champion to the outside, but the champion came back and hit a DDT on the ring apron. The Asuka Lock came into play but was countered into a pinfall attempt by Ripley. It was followed by the Riptide, as Ripley pinned the champion clean to win the match.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#ececec"><strong>Result:</strong> Rhea Ripley def. Asuka to win the Raw Women’s Championship&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#ececec"><strong>Grade:</strong> B</p>



<p><strong>Analysis:</strong> Ripley is a star, and was thankfully given the title and a win at WrestleMania, which she should’ve received last year itself. Asuka was a good foil for the huge Ripley, which made it a grueling encounter, except it didn’t have a proper story behind it. This made the match quite generic and ranks much below the stellar Belair/Banks encounter from the night before. Ripley will surely have Charlotte Flair on her mind as she gains control on Monday nights.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Triple Threat for the Universal Championship | Roman Reigns (c) vs. Edge vs. Daniel Bryan&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="91FbFI8WQGg"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Edge Spears Roman Reigns in huge title clash: WrestleMania 37 – Night 2 (WWE Network Exclusive)" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/91FbFI8WQGg?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>Reigns took the attack to both the challengers and threw them to the outside, one by one, allowing his right-hand man, Jey Uso, to deliver superkicks. Edge delivered a DDT to Uso on the steel steps, taking him out of scene. Edge and Bryan battled it out in the ring after a staredown, before Reigns pulled Edge to the outside. Bryan slid outside the ring and attacked both the stars before a suicide dive attempt was caught by the Tribal Chief.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Edge and Reigns exchanged counters after counters, before delivering spears at the same time, which allowed Bryan to get back in the match and deliver diving headbutts. Bryan hit the Yes Kicks, delivered a running knee on Edge, and followed it up with a kick to Reigns. He put Edge in the Yes Lock but Reigns made the save, followed by Edge saving the match when Reigns was locked in the same hold.</p>



<p>Reigns put Bryan through the announce table with a powerbomb but was met with a spear from Edge. Edge looked to attack Reigns with a chair but the champion threw the chair away. Edge locked in the crossface, and used a broken part of the chair to intensify the pain. Reigns was about to tap out when Bryan made the save and caught Reigns’ other hand to lock him in the Yes Lock at the same time.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Reigns delivered a spear to Bryan, who was trying for the Running Knee, followed by Edge delivering a spear to Reigns. Bryan pulled the referee out of the ring to make the save. Edge attacked both the opponents with chair shots and delivered the con-chairto to Bryan. Jey Uso returned and prevented the con-chairto on Edge, allowing Reigns to hit the con-chairto on Edge. Reigns put Edge on Bryan’s lifeless body and pinned both the stars to retain the title.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#ececec"><strong>Result:</strong> Roman Reigns def. Edge and Daniel Bryan to retain the Universal Championship&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-background" style="background-color:#ececec"><strong>Grade</strong>: A+</p>



<p>Analysis: This was as good as it gets. Roman Reigns got yet another coronation at the Grandest Stage of Them All, but this is what it always should’ve been. Edge and Bryan will feel hard done but Reigns deserves to take home the title after his incredible work in the last six months.</p>



<p>The match was sublime, apart from the ending, which was unnecessary. Reigns is powerful enough to win matches on his own and doesn’t need Jey Uso to do his laundry for him all the time, which could be the only criticism laid out for this stellar triple threat.&nbsp;</p>
