WrestleMania 42 Night 2 delivered everything it promised and then some.
On Sunday, April 19, 2026, a crowd of 55,255 fans packed Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to close out a weekend that will be discussed for years to come.
The combined attendance across both nights reached 106,072. Night 2 drew the bigger crowd. For Nigerian fans who stayed up through the night, this was the show that made it worth every minute.
Meanwhile, the night belonged to two men above everyone else. Oba Femi, the 27-year-old powerhouse from Lagos, walked into his WrestleMania debut and produced the most memorable moment of the entire weekend.
Roman Reigns closed the show by reclaiming the World Heavyweight Championship from CM Punk in a 34-minute classic that had the Allegiant Stadium crowd on its feet from start to finish. Two bookends. Both unforgettable.

Oba Femi Slays the Beast
Lesnar threw everything at him. Three German suplexes rattled the arena. An F5 connected cleanly. The crowd held its breath. Then Femi stood up. That moment changed everything.
Femi absorbed the punishment, hit a thunderous chokeslam, and finished Lesnar with his signature “Fall From Grace” powerbomb for a clean pinfall. This match lasted approximately five minutes. Short, brutal, decisive. Exactly what it needed to be.
What followed was equally powerful. Lesnar removed his gloves and boots, placed them in the centre of the ring, and left in tears to a “Thank You, Brock!” chant from the Las Vegas crowd. Whether this is truly the end remains unclear. Commentary kept the door open, noting it “appeared” to be a farewell. A potential final match against Gunther at SummerSlam in Minneapolis has been widely discussed. But if it is the end? What a way to go out.
Triple H himself praised Femi publicly after the show. Michael Cole’s commentary said it best on the night: “Oba Femi slayed the Beast. Ladies and gentlemen, the next big thing!”
The Match of the Weekend
The Intercontinental Championship ladder match involving Penta, Je’Von Evans, Dragon Lee, JD McDonagh, Rusev, and Rey Mysterio did not just deliver. It arguably stole the entire two-night show. Every man had a standout moment. Evans launched himself off a ladder to the outside for a flying OG Cutter that dropped the crowd. Penta sealed it with a Mexican Destroyer on McDonagh before climbing to retain his title. Six men. No weak link. No wasted moment.
The Rest of Night 2
- Trick Williams defeated Sami Zayn to win the United States Championship on his WrestleMania debut. Lil Yachty was ringside and played his part in the finish. Williams celebrated with his parents, who were in the crowd. A brilliant moment.
- Rhea Ripley defeated Jade Cargill to win the WWE Women’s Championship for the fourth time in her career. Iyo Sky neutralised Cargill’s faction at ringside before Ripley landed the Riptide for the win.
- Finn Balor brought back his Demon persona in a street fight victory over Dominik Mysterio, effectively ending his long-running Judgment Day storyline and launching him into a new chapter as a babyface.
Reigns and Punk Deliver a Classic
How do you follow Oba Femi beating Brock Lesnar? You send out Roman Reigns and CM Punk and let them go for 34 minutes.
The main event was everything a WrestleMania closing match should be. No interference. No shortcuts. Just two of the best performers in professional wrestling history giving every last drop. Punk bled. Roman Reigns went through a commentary table. Both men hit each other’s signature moves. Punk landed a GTS, and Reigns bounced back onto his shoulders for a second attempt. Then Punk’s body gave out. He could not lift him again. Reigns capitalised. Two spears. Three count. Seven-time world champion.
Storytelling was precise. Reigns had said for weeks that Punk was too old. On Sunday night, Punk’s heart outlasted his body by about 30 minutes. Then it did not. Reigns had just enough left at the right moment. That was the difference.
What Comes Next
The post-WrestleMania season opens with Roman Reigns as World Heavyweight Champion and Oba Femi immediately positioning himself as a challenger. After the main event, Femi confronted Reigns backstage, with the Nigerian powerhouse making clear he is coming for the gold next. Bron Breakker, who aligned with Paul Heyman on Night 1 after attacking Seth Rollins, adds another major piece to the heavyweight picture. Rhea Ripley, Trick Williams, and Penta head into summer with championships around their waists.
Raw, after WrestleMania airs tonight, Monday, April 20, on Netflix internationally and ESPN in the United States. If Night 2 set the tone, Monday’s show could be among the most loaded episodes of the year.
