The following are the ongoing live results of tonight's WWEÂ WrestleMania XLÂ premium live event, courtesy of Matt Boone of Rajah.com:
The Countdown to WrestleMania XL pre-show for night one wraps up as Paul "Triple H" Levesque is shown in a split-screen shot walking around Lincoln Financial Field. The pre-show ends and then we see a brand new "WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together." opening signature narrated by Paul "Triple H" Levesque. Michael Cole welcomes us inside Lincoln Financial Field and then we head into the cold open video package hosted by Philly hip-hop star Meek Mill.
Once that ends, we return live inside the venue again as Cole welcomes us to the show again. We see a live shot of Rhea Ripley with face-paint on stretching backstage as the crowd in the background roars loudly. Cole talks about the weather conditions in Philly for tonight's show as Becky Lynch, also wearing some face-paint or heavy make-up that looks as such, is shown backstage.
Back in the stadium, Coco Jones is introduced. She sings the national anthem live inside the ring to get the show officially off-and-running. The theme for Triple H hits. Out comes WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque to the ring to kick off the show. He says "Welcome to a new time, a new era, welcome to WrestleMania!" His theme hits again and off he goes.
Cole talks to Pat McAfee and Corey Graves at the commentary desk at ringside to set the stage for our first match of the evening. An entrance that shows excerpts from Becky Lynch's new book, "Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl" is shown, with paragraphs highlighted that we hear her reading as clips are mixed in of her WWE career. This transitions to her regular theme and out she comes with the aforementioned war-paint or make-up and a fluffy, fancy robe on.
She looks 100-percent all-business as she heads to the ring clearly on a mission to kick things off on a big note in our first match of the evening. The crowd shows her a ton of love coming out. As she settles in the ring, Cole introduces the Spanish commentary team for tonight's show. They have their brief on-camera introduction and then we shift to the top of the stage where we see the band Motionless in White perform the theme song for Rhea Ripley live.
The crowd roars as they continue to play and then after a slight delay, out comes The Judgment Day's own "Mami," the reigning-and-defending WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley, who dances a bit alongside the lead singer of the band playing her theme live. As Ripley makes her way to the ring, the lead singer tells the crowd to make some noise for the demon of our dreams, Rhea Ripley. She poses with her title belt on the ring apron for another sustained roar from the Philly crowd.
It's time for our first match of the evening with a world championship on-the-line here at night one of WrestleMania XL. The bell sounds, Samantha Irvin handles the final formal pre-match ring introduction for the champion and the challenger. The bell sounds and we're officially off-and-running with this one. Cole mentions that Lynch has been sick all week with strep throat and a tempature as high as 102. McAfee added that Ripley was working through a wrist injury.
Early on, Ripley performed an early Northern Lights suplex into a bridge for a two count. Ripley went for a vertical suplex, but Lynch countered into an inside cradle for a one count. Ripley powered up Lynch and executed the suplex and then got a two count. Ripley went to the ropes and did the Eddie Guerrero shimmy. Lynch ran up the ropes and pulled Ripley down with an arm drag. Lynch executed a tornado DDT for a two count. Lynch draped Ripley over the middle rope and then hit her with a second rope leg drop.
Lynch performed an exploder suplex that sent Ripley into the barricade. Back inside the ring, Lynch executed a top rope leg drop on the back of Ripley’s neck and got another two count. Lynch went to the middle rope and dove at Ripley, who caught her and slammed her to the mat. Lynch tried to get up and was blasted by a knee strike that led to a near fall. Lynch caught Ripley in a crossarm breaker. Ripley powered up Lynch and slammed her to the mat twice, but Lynch maintained the hold.
Ripley powered her up again and used a sit-out powerbomb to break the hold and picked up a near fall in the process. Cole acknowledged the chilly conditions again. We see the action spill out to the floor where we see a big electric chair spot and another Dis-Arm-Her from Lynch. Back in the ring, Ripley hits another big Rip-Tide and taunts Lynch as she struggles to get up in the corner of the ring. Ripley heads to the top-rope and looks to bring Lynch up with her in the suplex position.
Lynch fights back and hooks Ripley for a Man-Handle Slam, but Ripley avoids it and ends up hitting a Rip-Tide Buckle Bomb and then another Rip-Tide in the middle of the ring for the pin fall victory. With the win, Rhea Ripley retains her WWE Women's World Championship. Excellent opening match to set the tone for night one of WrestleMania XL. The right person won if you gauge the reaction from the crowd throughout the match and to the finish in particular.
Winner and STILL WWE Women's World Champion: Rhea Ripley
After the the Ripley-Lynch bout wraps up, we head into a quick commercial break. When we return, Michael Cole sets the stage for our second match of the evening, which will once again feature a world championship on-the-line, as the Undisputed WWE World Tag-Team Championship Six-Pack Challenge Ladder Match is up next. The pre-match video package airs now to tell the story leading up to this one and then we return live inside Lincoln Financial Field for the ring entrances of the champions and challengers.
The theme for the #DIY duo of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa hits. Out they come for a quick entrance. Next, we hear R-Truth rapping as he and The Miz are out next as Awesome Truth. From their entrance to the next entrance of New Catch Republic there is a big production error, which the commentators react to on the broadcast. The theme for The New Day hits and out comes Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
We hear the music for Austin Theory and Grayson Waller next and out comes the A-Town Down Under duo. They settle in the ring and the theme for the reigning and defending Undisputed WWE World Tag-Team Champions hits. Out comes Damian Priest and Finn Balor with some weird ass masks on for their entrance gear. Samantha Irvin handles the final formal pre-match ring introductions for the champions and the challengers. The bell sounds and we're officially off-and-running with this one.
Immediately we see all members of both teams slugging it out in a giant ball of mass in the middle of the ring as the crowd roars. They splinter off into pairs and on the floor, we see a bunch of teams try and work together on "Senor Money In The Bank." We see a big ladder spot early on for a big pop. R-Truth is standing on the apron and thinks this is a tag-team match where you have to tag in. He gets the tag, even though it was unnecessary, and he hits the ring off the "hot tag" to do John Cena's big comeback sequence, including the Five Knuckle Shuffle with the "You Can't See Me" routine.
He makes the cover and counts his own pin and jumps up to celebrate until The Miz tells him what is going on. We see #DIY "tuning up the band," as Gargano hits a super kick and then Ciampa hits a Pedigree. They talk with Awesome Truth, and they decide to each grab a ladder and try and each grab a set of the tag titles, so that they both win belts. They get stopped by Theory and Waller, who head up the ladder and pull down the SmackDown Tag-Team Championships. The Raw Tag-Team Championships are still in the mix apparently.
New Catch Republic power bomb Waller over the top-rope and through a ladder bridge that was draped off the ring apron. It breaks in half and Waller slumps in what is left of it in pain as fans loudly chant "Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!" Fans chant "We Want Tables!" and we see them get what they want as #DIY reaches under the ring and pulls out some tables, which they set up on the floor. Another ladder bridge is set up from the middle rope to the middle of a ladder set up in the center of the ring. The ladder bridge leads out to the aforementioned table set up on the floor.
Xavier Woods hits a big top-rope flying elbow smash onto someone laid out across the ladder bridge, which doesn't break. Woods and Kingston climb up opposing sides of the ladder in the middle of the ring. Kingstop back-splashes off the ladder onto a pile of bodies on the floor. Woods continues to climb until Theory stops him and brings him down. New Catch Republic take Theory off the top of the ladder with a double-team Birming-Hammer. Bate begins to climb on one side while Ciampa climbs up the other. Gargano and Dunne go through the table on the floor.
Ciampa from way on the top of the ladder hits a crazy spot on Bate to the mat way down below. R-Truth hits the empty ring and sets the ladder up under the remaining tag titles as the crowd goes absolutely nuts. He begins to climb until JD McDonagh of The Judgment Day runs down to stop him. McDonagh helps Balor back into the ring and up the ladder. Woods climbs up behind Balor and stops him. Kingston grabs a steel chair and whacks him while McDonagh stays atop the ladder. Woods and Kingston spot him and they tip the ladder over to knock him off and through a table on the floor.
Priest hits the ring and takes out Woods and then brings Kofi off the ladder with a Razor's Edge onto a steel chair. Priest climbed the ladder and smiled at the booing crowd before reaching up for the belts. The Miz rushed up the other side of the ladder to cut off Priest. Miz got his hand on one of the belts. Priest went for a South of Heaven chokeslam off the ladder that they didn’t follow through with. Cole said it was a smart move because the ladder was buckling. Priest set up another ladder and got his hand on one of the belts, but Truth tipped over the ladder. Truth hits an AA on Priest and pulls down the titles. Awesome Truth are the Raw Tag-Team Champions.
Winners and NEW Raw Tag-Team Champions: Awesome Truth
We then head into the pre-match package for our next bout of the evening, which features Rey Mysterio and Andrade joining forces to take on the duo of Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar.
Once it wraps up, we return back live inside Lincoln Financial Field. The theme for Santos Escobar hits and out he comes accompanied by his tag-team partner, Dom-Dom, and the rest of Legado Del Fantasma. They all head down to the ring together to a ton of boos from the Philly crowd. Elektra Lopez is holding the mask of WWE Hall of Fame legend Rey Mysterio and showing it off for added heat.
The theme for Rey Mysterio hits next and the crowd roars as the masked icon emerges at the top of the long entrance ramp accompanied by his tag-team partner, Andrade, and the rest of the LWO. After Samantha Irvin finishes up her official ring introductions for both teams, the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running.
We see some crazy, fast-paced high-flying action coming straight out of the gate, with Rey Mysterio and Andrade giving the Philly crowd something to cheer for early on. After a few moments like this, we see the team of "Dirty" Dom and Santos take over. We see a bunch of interference from the various Legado Del Fantasma members at ringside.
The LWO guys start to help out, including one wild spot that sees Carlito and Cruz Del Toro launch Joaquin Wilde high in the air for a "WrestleMania Moment" type flying splash that pops the crowd big time. This leads to the finishing sequence, which goes down mmoents later.
In the end, Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson of the Philadelphia Eagles team in the NFL hit the ring in masks to help take out Dominik Mysterio, leading to Mysterio and Andrade hitting their respective finishes for the pin fall victory. After the match, the two NFL stars un-mask for a big pop from the local Philly crowd as they celebrate Rey and Andrade's win with them and the LWO. After this, we head to another quick commercial break.
Winners: Rey Mysterio & Andrade
The third-ever Brother versus Brother match is up next. We return inside Lincoln Financial Field where Michael Cole, Pat McAfee and Corey Graves are shown at the commentary desk as the official match graphic for "Main Event" Jey Uso vs. Jimmy Uso flashes on the screen. Cole sends us into the elaborate, in-depth pre-match video package to tell the story leading up to tonight's "Usos Civil War" brother versus brother showdown.
After this wraps up, we return inside Lincoln Financial Field where hip-hop legend Lil Wayne is shown. He begins doing the rap for his song "A Billie" which eventually transitions into the regular theme song for "Main Event" Jey Uso. Out he comes super hyped up, with he and Lil Wayne bouncing up-and-down together as the Philly crowd goes wild. As they head to the ring, Lil Wayne starts doing little freestyle ad-libs over Uso's regular theme.
"Main Event" Jey Uso settles inside the squared circle and leads the sea of tens-of-thousands of members of the WWE Universe in attendance in a "YEET!"-tastic wave, which of course, Pat McAfee helps lead on the commentary desk at ringside. After his "YEET!"-rific entrance wraps up, his music dies down and then we hear the entrance tune for his big twin brother, The Bloodline's own Jimmy Uso. Out he comes for our next match, where he is splashed on by Jey who flies over the top as he nears the ringside area.
Jey continues to bounce Jimmy's head off of the ringside barricade before eventually rolling him into the ring. The bell sounds and we're officially off-and-running with this one, without any in-ring formal ring introductions by Samantha Irvin due to the hot start. Jimmy rolls to the floor to re-group, but Jey hits the ropes and flies over the top for another big splash onto his bro on the floor at ringside. Back in the ring, Jey comes off the top-rope yet again for a high cross-body splash into a close two count.
After some more intense back-and-forth action we see Jey start to settle into a comfortable offensive lead. He looks closer and closer to finishing Jimmy off with every super kick he connects with. Jimmy, from his knees, begs off and tells Jey he's wrong and he's sorry. Jey helps him up and they hug, but then Jimmy quickly turns on him, blasting him with a super kick and hitting a top-rope Uso splash for a close pin attempt. Jey takes back over, decks Jimmy and hits a top-rope splash of his own for the win.
Winner: "Main Event" Jey Uso
After a post-match commercial break following the conclusion of the Usos Civil War brother versus brother showdown, the pre-match video package for our scheduled six-woman tag-team bout airs to get us ready for our next match of the evening. Back inside Lincoln Financial Field, we hear Michael Cole complaining once again on commentary about how cold it is in the venue for the show throughout the broadcast, and how it's getting colder and colder as the night goes on.
Damage CTRL's theme hits and out comes a bunch of Japanese fan-waving girls before eventually the trio of Dakota Kai and the Undisputed WWE Women's World Tag-Team Champions Asuka and Kairi Sane head to the ring. As they settle inside, the camera shot shows Michael Cole and Corey Graves in big winter coats and beanie hats on, with Pat McAfee still styling and profiling next to them, talking about how they look ridiculous.
Back on the top of the entrance ramp. we see the lights go down and a bright spotlight hits a raised podium, which is slowly lowered down to the level of the entrance ramp. Off walks Jade Cargill first. Her theme hits and she poses briefly before the music transitions to Naomi's tune. Out she comes and then the music shifgts to Bianca Belair's song. Out she comes swinging her massive ponytail with some cool shades on. The three-woman team head to the ring together to a big pop from the Philly crowd.
Ironically enough we see Asuka getting down and dancing away as she and Kairi Sane and Dakota Kai are waiting at ringside for this one to get underway. The bell sounds and we're officially off-and-running with this one. Asuka and Naomi kick things off for their respective teams. After some back-and-forth action, which sees Belair and Naomi working the entire match, we work our way to the finish, which sees Jade Cargill finally tagged in for the first time.
After getting the hot tag, Jade Cargill proceeds to get the spotlight for a brief offensive showcase, where she hits some power spots on Asuka and Kairi Sane. The two try and double-team her after breaking up a pin attempt, but Belair hits the scene to help out. Asuka goes to spray the mist, but sprays into Sane's eyes by accident. Belair hits a K.O.D. and then Cargill follows up with her Jaded finisher for the pin fall victory for her team.
Winners: Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair & Naomi
It's time for the real-life Rocky Balboa movie come-to-life rivalry, as GUNTHER vs. Sami Zayn for the WWE Intercontinental Championship is up next. Cole, McAfee and Graves set the stage for our next bout, which features the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion of all-time, by a large amount, defending against the fan-favorite underdog who has had special training from one of GUNTHER's most notable past rivals in Chad Gable.
After a quick commercial time out, we head into the pre-match video package that tells the full story leading up to tonight's showdown between "The Ring General" and Imperium leader and the Montreal native with his sights set on gold. When the package wraps up, we return live backstage where Sami Zayn is warming up when his wife and son walk up to wish him luck. He gives them his love and says he needs to get focused and doesn't want GUNTHER seeing this.
Off the family goes. Zayn walks towards the entrance where he is stopped by Chad Gable. Gable asks him if he's ready. Zayn says he is. Gable tells him he wants him to go do this one on his own. Zayn asks if he's serious after all the help he doesn't want to come out with him? Gable says he's got this. He said he always has. He tells him after this you'll owe me a favor. Another line directly out of the Rocky movie franchise.
Their talk wraps up and Zayn starts walking with a purpose, looking ready to capitalize on this moment. As he continues walking towards Gorilla position, he stops when he sees Kevin Owens. Owens smiles and pushes Zayn. He hugs him and off Zayn goes as his theme hits. He makes the long walk down to the ring to a huge sustained roar from the Philadelphia crowd. His music dies down and he awaits the arrival of the champ.
Imperium's theme hits and out comes "The Ring General" himself, GUNTHER. The longest reigning I-C champ in WWE history comes out accompanied by Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci. He heads to the ring by himself and he stares down Zayn. He poses with his title before handing it off to the match official. The ref holds it up high to show these two what they are fighting for here tonight on "The Grandest Stage of Them All."
The bell sounds and we're officially off-and-running with this one. We see Zayn start off strong, with his wife shown in the front row cheering him on. He and GUNTHER trade chops in the first few minutes, with both of their chests ending up beat red. GUNTHER starts to take over and begins a prolonged beat down of Zayn in front of his wife, stopping to taunt her throughout. He proceeds to power bomb Zayn over and over again, emphatically, right in front of his wife.
It gets to the point where the commentators are pleading with the referee to stop the match whether Zayn insists he can continue or not. Whether GUNTHER chooses to finish him or continuing punishing him or not. Eventually we see Zayn flopping like a fish out of water in the background as he is starting to find his second wind. He fires up for an incredibly hot comeback, with the crowd loudly behind him, and the commentators as well.
Cole is shouting, "Do you believe in miracles" in reference to the old hockey Olympic call as Zayn gets closer and closer to ending this one. He eventually hits a big Helluva Kick in the corner that flattens "The Ring General." He covers him and gets the one, gets the two and gets the three to end the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Championship reign in company-history.
He heads out to celebrate with his wife, his own "Adrian, I did it!" moment, as he poses with his newly won WWE Intercontinental Championship in his special "WrestleMania Moment" here in Philadelphia. After the match wraps up, we settle into another quick commercial break before we get ready for our tag-team main event of the evening here at night one of WrestleMania XL.
Winner and NEW WWE Intercontinental Champion: Sami Zayn
It's main event time!
We return from the commercial break that followed the I-C title tilt in our co-main event of the evening here at WrestleMania Saturday in Philadelphia. Back live inside Lincoln Financial Field, it's time for the annual WrestleMania attendance announcement. Raw G.M. Adam Pearce and SmackDown G.M. Nick Aldis appear in the ring to make the announcement, calling this the biggest WrestleMania of all-time.
They announce 72,543 fans are packed inside Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA. for night one of WrestleMania XL. Fireworks and pyro erupt at the top of the stage following the very brief in-ring announcement segment. George Kittle, Vanessa Hudgens, Wale, 2 Chainz, Druski, Michael Rubin and other celebrities were shown on-camera.
Michael Cole, Pat McAfee and Corey Graves run down the scheduled lineup for night two of this year's two-night premium live event on "The Grandest Stage of Them All." As they run down each match scheduled for WrestleMania Sunday tomorrow night, the official match graphics flash across the screen.
Now we see the lengthy, elaborate pre-match video package to tell the story leading up to our high stakes tag-team main event of night one of WrestleMania XL, with The Rock and WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns joining forces to take on the duo of The Rock and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin'" Rollins.
The package wraps up and out comes Cody Rhodes. The fans pop huge for "The American Nightmare" as he emerges and heads to the ring with intentions on starting the process of "finishing his story" -- for real this time -- at WrestleMania XL. He settles in the ring and his music dies down. The entrance tune for his partner begins next.
Out comes the WWE World Heavyweight Champion in an insanely puffy and fancy robe that is typical Seth Rollins-type stuff you would expect. "The Visionary" and "The Revolutionary" heads to the ring as the jam-packed crowd in Philly sing along with his music. He joins Rhodes in the ring and the two await the arrival of their Bloodline opposition.
In an insanely elaborate ring entrance that sees fire, a giant Brahma Bull lit up on the stage and special music shifts, out comes The Rock. "The Final Boss" emerges with The People's Championship belt given to him by Lonnie Ali, the widow of the late boxing legend Muhammad Ali, at the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
The Rock settles in the ring by himself, standing across from both Cody Rhodes and Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. The lights go down and the familiar sounds of the entrance music for my tribal chief, your tribal chief and our tribal chief, "The Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns. The WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion emerges accompanied by "The Wise Man" of The Bloodline, Paul Heyman.
The two head to the ring together as Reigns' catchy-ass entrance tune continues to play. Reigns takes his time down the long entrance ramp. He gets some final quick words from "The Wise Man" before ascending up the ring steps to join his cousin, The Rock, in the ring, for our night one main event of the evening here at WrestleMania Sunday in Philadelphia.
After the final pre-match ring introductions by Samantha Irvin, the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running. Kicking things off for their respective teams are Roman Reigns and Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. The former fellow members of The Shield mix it up early on and then Cody tags in for a big pop from the crowd. He and Reigns lock up as Cole calls this a preview of tomorrow night's main event.
They don't do much and then Rollins tags back in. The Rock locks eyes with Rollins and asks Reigns for the tag. The Rock milks the crowd and then gets the tag he requested. Rollins has a big ass smile on his face as he's about to mix it up with a WWE legend on "The Grandest Stage of Them All." Rock rag-dolls Rollins and then turns to Cody on the apron and does the "Just bring it!" gesture.
Cody tags back in. He and Rock milk the moment with a lengthy glare in the middle of the ring. A loud "Rocky! Rocky!" chant breaks out as the two lock up and begin to get after it. Cody goes to work on Rock in the corner of the ring. He yells out, "Make me bleed?!" while pummeling "The Final Boss" with kicks and punches in the corner. He tags Rollins in.
Seth and Cody unload with punches and kicks in rapid-fire fashion at the same time until Rock slumps down in the corner. The two hit a big double-team spot on Rock and then Reigns as well. The referee tries to restore order as all four men are in the ring together staring each other down. He fails as all four start a wild exchange in the middle of the ring.
Rock and Seth head out to one section of the ringside area to duke it out while Cody and Roman are shown battling on the opposite side of the floor on the entrance ramp. Rock yells to Chad Patton in the ring, the referee for the match, "If you count, you're fired. I don't f*ck around!" The commentators point out what The Rock said on commentary and mention his position as a TKO Group board member.
We see Rock and Seth begin fighting through the crowd as the referee grants his wishes and isn't counting. Cody and Roman are shown mixing it up at the top of the entrance ramp. Reigns hits a big suplex to Cody on the stage. The camera pans over to Rock, who is beating down Rollins. He stops and drinks some water and spits it at Rollins.
The commentators talk about how cold it is and how much that probably sucked. Rollins fights back and gets on top of the ringside barricade. He leaps off and connects on Rock with a double axe-handle smash. As Rollins is taking Rock back into the ring, Reigns pulls Rollins off the apron and Rollins seems to hurt his knee upon landing. The commentators point out it's the recently injured knee of Rollins.
The Rock goes to work on the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, focusing on his injured knee. He wraps it around the steel ring post and slams it into the steel ring steps as Rollins screams out in pain. Rock tags in Reigns, who picks up where "The Final Boss" left off, working over Rollins with ease as Cody is forced to watch on helpless from the ring apron.
After some more back-and-forth action, we see Cody get the hot tag and fire up. He (sort of) hits a Cody Cutter. Moments later, he blasts Reigns with a shot that busts his nose open. Reigns sees his blood and freaks out. He goes for a spear, but Cody avoids it. Cody leaps to the top-rope and (sort of) connects with Super Cody Cutter.
Rollins hits a Stomp and Cody follows up with a Cross-Rhodes. He goes for the cover but The Rock yanks the referee out of the ring just as he was about to count to three. Reigns and Rock fire up on offense again and hit some double-team spots. Reigns slaps as guillotine on Cody who begins to fade. Cody hangs in there but then Rock helps Reigns out. Cody is down and stuck in the choke again as Rock holds his legs down from the floor.
Rollins hits the ring just in time to connect with a Stomp that frees Cody. The Rock looks over and sees Cody's mother, Mama Rhodes, in the front row with her husband, Cody's step-father that he stopped and gave his weight belt to during his ring entrance. Rock grabs the weight belt and smacks it in his hand while taunting Mama Rhodes. Back in the ring, Cody hits Rock and takes the belt and now he has it.
Cody fires up and does the Dusty punch spot into the rolling-hands for a big bionic elbow. After Rock goes down from that, he pops up and hits a spinebuster on Cody out of nowhere. The crowd springs to their feet, clearly knowing what's next. He stands above Cody and takes his elbow pad off. He does the double direction wave and hits the ropes for a People's Elbow.
Instead, Rock comes off the ropes as Cody pops up and leaps off the ropes with a perfectly-timed Cody Cutter. Cody yells at Rock to get up. "You wanna make me bleed? Get up!" He turns around into a Superman Punch from Reigns that silences the crowd instantly. Reigns stalks Cody in the corner waiting for him to get up. He goes for a Spear when he does, but Seth moves Cody in one swift motion and Reigns accidentally hits The Rock with a huge Spear.
Rollins hits a Pedigree while Cody hits a Pedigree as well. They go for the cover but still somehow The Bloodline duo hangs in there and kicks out after the count of two to keep this one alive. Reigns and Rock roll out to the floor. Rollins and Cody hype each other up and go after them. Rollins hits a top-rope splash to Reigns on the floor. Rock tears apart the Spanish commentary desk and spits on Cody before bouncing his head off the desk.
The Rock hoists Cody up and yells at Mama Rhodes to look at her son. He slams him on the cleared off Spanish commentary desk, which is next to the cleared off U.S. commentary desk as well. Rock stands on the desk and picks Cody up for a Rock Bottom. Rollins grabs Rock's leg to stop him. Cody hits a Rock Bottom on Rock from the Spanish desk through the U.S. desk. Immediately after that Reigns sprints over and Spears Rollins through the barricade.
Back in the ring, Reigns goes to work on Cody, beating him down some more. Rock whips Cody with the weight belt and then Reigns hits another Spear on "The American Nightmare." Rock looks at Reigns and reaches out for the tag. Reigns obliges. Rock comes in as the legal man and stands over a beaten down Cody. He crouches down into position, stalking Cody and setting him up for a Rock Bottom. Cody gets up and Rock hits a Rock Bottom.
For the second time in the bout, we see The Rock creep over atop Cody and he is going to go for The People's Elbow. He does a throat slice gesture and throws his 1's to the sky. He does the double direction-wave, hits both sides of the ring ropes and connects with a People's Elbow in the middle of the ring. He immediately follows that up with the cover and the pin for the win. With the victory, Rock and Reigns have secured Bloodline Rules for Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes II for the WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship in the main event of night two of WrestleMania XL.
Winners: The Rock & Roman Reigns
