Punk comes out with his arm brace before the main card and a recap of night one. Steph's out with a rock remix of her theme that's actually pretty good. Steph says she's been a part of all 40 Manias, and THIS IS THE MOST SPECIAL BECAUSE IT'S THE PAUL LEVESQUE ERA! Drew gets Roddy's theme being played for him before his usual intro. This feels a lot more like Mania than night one did already. Cole plays on the weather reports last night saying it's a lot warmer tonight!
Drew started things off with a claymore for a PERFECT nearfall! Drew chucks Seth around on the floor a bunch. Seth avoids a future shock and gets a pedigree on the floor. Back and forth mid-ring chops and forearms while Punk calls Drew Irish. Claymore turned into a powerbomb, rollover into a pedigree and the stomp gets 2.9! I like Seth not getting all of the stomp with his leg flying off early there. Super stomp avoided, claymore avoided and a future shock gets 2. Drew teases Punk over a GTS which is turned into a rollup for 2. CLAYMORE GETS 2.9! STOMP TO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! CLAYMORE GETS ANOTHER 2.9! FINALLY ANOTHER ONE DOES IT AND DREW GETS THE TITLE! Drew talks shit and Punk takes the brace off and smacks him with it!
DAMIAN PRIEST IS OUT! SOUTH OF HEAVEN ENDS IT AND PUNISHMENT MARTINEZ IS WWE WORLD CHAMPION! Snoop is out for the Final Testament/Street Profits/Lashley match. Bubba Ray is out to referee this match. Corey says that Ellering is debuting at WM here... um nah he literally debuted at 8.
They start off by shattering kendo sticks on Lashley and Pat gives Sandman a shoutout. Scarlett hits B-Fab with a trash can and Tez hits a big dive. Giant spinebuster to Kross. Kross hits a Doomsday Saito and a DDT on a chair for 2. Bubba gets shit-talked and Bubba PUTS THE GLASSES ON. Dawkins does the WAZZUP BOBBY>MONTEZ>DAWKINS GET THE TABLES! Table breaks and they cane Kross and Snoop goes WHOOP THAT TRICK and Pat wisely ONLY CREDITS THAT TO TRICK WILLIAMS! Tez frog splash ends it. GET THESE MEN DOING SOMETHING PLEASE!
Slim Jim ad for LA Knight. Then LA Knight arrives in the Slim Jim car and we get an LA Knight hype video. AJ has a new generic theme. HOW DO YOU MAKE A BAD AJ STYLES THEME? AJ works the leg over before Knight just stops selling and gets a sunset flip for 2. Backdrop on the bare floor and the BFT hits for the win. HOF recap and stage presentation. Bray video. Make a Wish video. Logan Paul comes out in a Prime truck with a Prime cannon and walks to the ring with a Prime bottle dude. Sami tells Kevin it's his turn now.
Owens has ECW theming for this tron and gear AND A GOLF CART and goes backwards to help Orton down and Randy desperately wants him to slow the fuck down. Double buckshot from Logan before a swanton onto KO and a standing frog splash to Orton gets 2. KO gets a codebreaker senton combo for 2. Brass knucks punch to Orton gets 2! Prime bottle reveal is some Paul guy who eats an RKO on the table. STUNNER TO ORTON GETS 2! POP UP POWERBOMB INTO AN RKO! Frog splash wins it for Logan! If Logan Paul wasn't a generational talent, I'd be pissed at him retaining but GODDAMN IS HE AMAZING.
Bayley gets a big intro with a new theme and THE BAYLEY BOYS! Iyo works the knee over with a dragon screw. Iyo...kinda hits a moonsault block to the floor. HIGH STACK GERMAN BY IYO! Jesus that was nasty. Diving Bayley elbow turned into a crossface by Iyo! Belly to bayley, back suplex, big elbow and the lame rose plant wins it!
Celebrity rundown with Vanessa Hudgens in a shirt they wouldn't have to blur. Snoop does the attendance stuff. WM main event hype video has THE YOUNG BUCKS IN IT despite them being catalysts for AEW still and being the in-canon reason Punk footage will air on AEW TV. Cody comes out with an American Nightmare mask AND CHIEF BRANDI OFFICER BRANDI! Roman gets an orchestra performing his theme!
Back elbow to start the match at 10 PM. Corey - "The methodical pace that Roman Reigns has truly popularized!" Roman throws him into the PRIME HYDRATION STATION and INTO THE WWE UNIVERSE. Walk and brawl until a powerslam gets 2 for Cody. Last ride by Roman. CROSS RHODES BY ROMAN GETS 2! POWERBOMB THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE BY ROMAN. Cody cutter gets 2.
Cody avoids a uranage and hits a spear for 2. CROSS RHODES TRINITY ATTEMPT but Jimmy stops it at 1! CODY EATS A SUPERMAN PUNCH AND SPEAR FOR 2! Cody spears him through the barricade. So for 2K game booking, Cody and Roman have Move Thief turned on and Cody just hit the Barricade Finisher spear on Roman. THE TRINITY GETS TO 2 BEFORE SOLO INTERFERES! Solo spikes him for 2.5! Spear and spike hit and GET 2.9! Roman is pissed at Solo for egging him on. Roman vs. Solo will be a lot of fun. CENA IS OUT TO COUNTER SOLO!
Cena AAs him and fights with Rock for a bit. Shield theme hits for Seth, but no Mox. Rock talks shit and TAKER COMES OUT! TAKER CHOKESLAMS ROCK! Taker in Casual Male mode here for WM 40 while Rock is out looking like a high-end Colombian drug lord. Roman chairshots Seth and LANDS TWO CROSS RHODES! A THIRD HITS AND IT'S OVER - CODY HAS FINISHED THE STORY!
Samantha Irvin was overcome calling Cody the new champion. What a moment this was. Cody wants Bruce Prichard and HHH to come down because LORD KNOWS WWE HASN'T GIVEN HHH ENOUGH CREDIT OVER THE DECADES!
Damian Priest is shining bright here - "You should be the hardest worker for your own dream - it's yours! Nobody else's!" Damian looked the part and talked the part.
