WWE Wrestlemania 41, night 2 snack: John Cena makes history possible in the most shameful way

WWE Wrestlemania 41, night 2 from the Allegian Stadium in Las Vegas closed the door on the largest weekend of the doctorate, with John Cena promised to become the last WWE -real champion. The Wrestling leader saved his big surprise return – Joe Hendry, Becky Lynch and Travis Scott – for night 2, while Dominik Mysterio was the biggest winner of the night.

While we digest everything that happened, our five largest snack stalls from Wrestlemania 41, night 2.

1. The last real champion of WWE

Between Cena’s monotonous entrance to the in-ring product, Cena vs. Rhodes does not quite do justice to the hype. The fan reactions felt similar with the rock against Hulk Hogan in Wrestlemania X8 – no matter how much Cena distanced itself, the roar of consent was deafening. However, Cena remained the course and refused to give the fans a ounce of what they wanted.

Rhodes, on the other hand, did everything his supporters expected from him. Nothing could influence her in his favor – and with every advantage it was disapproved. Cena slows down the pace to a painful crawling, threatened to ruin the professional wrestling with his actions and to take over from his last wrestlemania match at any moment.

In the end, Travis Scott was another active participant. With the referee, Scott’s commitment was the opening for a little blow in a game that seemed to be the most shameful way to bring his record title to the 17th world championship title in the most shameful way. If Cena goes through his promise, it is a good statement to draw the fans through a deliberately agonizing Title government.

But there are more questions than answers on the way forward: Where was the stone? How much more committed Scott? And what is Rhodes’ way back to fame?

2. I believe in Joe Hendry

After Kevin Owens’ unfortunate and premature injury to Kevin Owens, Randy Orton was left behind only two weeks before Wrestlemania 41 without opponents. The approach to Orton’s 20th Wrestlemania appearance left an unpredictable element on Sunday with an obscure open challenge.

The simple route would have been Solo -Sikoa that she would have mixed with Orton. The unexpected path could have been from Nick Aldis to a returning star like Rusev. It is difficult to imagine that someone who could have expected the TNA champion Joe Hendry would be the one who answers the call.

Hendry and Orton gave fans everything you would expect from this game. It was not a long fight. Hendry caught up with his things, hit his poses and took an RKO before the pin fall loss. If at all, it solidified that Hendry belongs to the big stage and could almost certainly occur in a future wrestlemania.

3. Bayleys out, Becky’s back

In view of the fact that she is consistently one of the top stars in the women’s department, Bayley’s exclusion from Wrestlemania was 41 head scrapers. Although a match with Lyra Valkyria had made sense, she had no clear way to the show from the start. Instead, they were thrown together to challenge the women’s day team championship until Bayley was abruptly removed from the game on Saturday evening.

It had to be a big name that returned in her place – and Becky Lynch certainly fits this bill. Although it is great to see Lynch in the ring all day again, and they could have the moment meant a lot, it is unfortunate that Bayley’s wrestlemania spot had to come.

4. A triple threat game in which everyone seems

Three women at the head of their game – Iyo Sky, Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair – opened up something to prove on Sunday. The argument can be brought about that it could have an important wrestlemania 41, either night 1 or night 2, exclusively from a wrestling perspective.

It felt different from most triple threatening matches of the opening bell. There were no longer periods of rest outside the ring for one of the people, and the pace of the game was perfect as a start. Each of them had their respective moments to shine with large movements, big moments and the wrong surfaces. There is no thing that felt missing or should have changed from start to finish. Everywhere there was one of the most logical decisions of WWE and about as well as it is from a booking perspective, with Sky once again exploiting Belair and Ripley’s obsession with each other to keep their title.

5. Dominik Mysterio has everything to be wwes next star

In about 20 minutes, Dominik Mysterio was challenged by one of the most booic men of the night to one of the most. As a member of the Youth Day, he was made with Vitriol audience reactions. That changed on Sunday evening – and everything it needed was that he turned Finn Bálor his back so that the fans bring his approval.

Mysterio’s victory, the largest hero in the building, gave him an authentic wrestlemania moment, the Intercontinental Championship and a way on the menu. His celebration was as real as it was possible, and when cameras were cut and the show went to commercial, the fans lined him with “dirty, dirty” chants.
