Adesanya, known for his flamboyant entrances and wrestling fandom, seemed right at home in the WWE environment. This unexpected appearance has fans speculating about potential future crossovers between WWE and UFC, especially given their now-shared corporate umbrella under TKO Group Holdings.

Championship Changes And Main Event Chaos!

WrestleMania Night 1 saw significant changes to WWE’s championship landscape. Jey Uso kicked things off by defeating Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. This was a match that immediately established his credibility as Raw’s top champion. The New Day turned back the clock and embraced their darker side. They used underhanded tactics to defeat the War Raiders for their record-extending 12th tag team championship reign.

Onwards, Jacob Fatu, who defeated LA Knight to capture the United States Championship. Tiffany Stratton rounded out the championship matches by successfully defending her WWE Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair in a hard-hitting contest.

The night’s main event delivered an instant classic despite not having a championship at stake. Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns battled for over 30 minutes in a match filled with callbacks to their intertwined histories. The real story emerged when Paul Heyman executed a shocking double-betrayal. He first turned on Reigns and then on Punk before ultimately aligning with Rollins. This unexpected alliance between Heyman and Rollins sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe and will likely shape storylines for months to come.
