What Was the Biggest Surprise of WrestleMania 42 Night 1?
If the internet hadn’t ruined it, Paige's return would have been the biggest surprise. Unfortunately, that news leaked on Friday which made her return a little anticlimactic.
Still, Paige and Brie Bella won the women's tag-team championships, which was a mild surprise in itself. For the full story on who Paige is and how her comeback unfolded, the details of her career and the significance of the win are worth knowing — she hadn't competed in a WWE ring since 2017.
What Happened With Gunther vs. Seth Rollins?
Gunther vs. Seth Rollins was the best match of the first night of WrestleMania 42. Bron Breakker's return elevated it even more. It is clear WWE is moving back toward an epic Breakker-Rollins feud. If there was something that missed with this segment, it was Breakker not hitting the final spear as cleanly as he'd liked.
Other than that, it was a great match and segment. Breakker sprinted down the long Allegiant Stadium ramp and crushed Rollins with a spear behind the referee’s back — with Rollins rocked, Gunther locked in a choke to steal the win. The second spear after the bell made it feel less like a run-in and more like the beginning of a blood feud.
What Was Bianca Belair's WrestleMania 42 Moment?
There was speculation about Bianca Belair returning for WrestleMania 42, but no one knew she was pregnant. It was such a beautiful moment as it is clear she and her husband Montez Ford are starting their family. It was one of the best moments of the night and the best non-wrestling moment by far.
WWE gave her the WrestleMania stage to make the announcement, which says everything about how the company views her as one of the faces of the women's division — and the reaction from the Allegiant Stadium crowd matched the magnitude of the news.
