WRESTLEMANIA 38 RECAP

Arlington, TX - The AT&T Stadium played host to the biggest party of the year as WWE presented WrestleMania 38, a night that will be remembered for years to come. With an electrifying crowd of 65,653 in attendance, the Superstars of World Wrestling Entertainment put on a show for the ages.

Tag Team Mayhem

The opening bout saw RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Riddle) face off against Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis) and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) in a thrilling WWE RAW Tag Team Title Triple Threat Match. In the end, it was RK-Bro who emerged victorious, retaining their titles with a well-executed RKO/RRIO combination that sent all three opponents crashing to the mat.

Bobby Lashley's Dominance

In the first of many impressive performances on the night, Bobby Lashley made short work of Omos in a Singles Match. The All-Mighty dispatched his opponent with a thunderous Spear just 6:34 into the contest, leaving no doubt as to who was the superior force.

Anything Goes Mayhem

The Anything Goes Match between Johnny Knoxville and Sami Zayn was an instant classic, featuring wild brawling, chaos, and even a stint on the roof of the arena. In the end, it was Knoxville's cunning and experience that proved too much for the underdog Zayn, as he scored the decisive victory after 14:26 of madness.

Women's Tag Team Title Chaos

The WWE Women's Tag Team Title Fatal Four Way Match saw Naomi and Sasha Banks emerge victorious, outlasting Carmella and Queen Zelina, Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley, and Natalya and Shayna Baszler in a contest that was equal parts athleticism and strategy. The winners' time in the ring: 10:51.

Edge's Masterclass

AJ Styles got a masterclass in old-school wrestling from Edge in their Singles Match. The Hall of Famer showed no signs of slowing down, outwrestling his younger opponent for nearly a quarter hour before securing the pin with a second-rope DDT.

The New Day Falls Short

Ridge Holland and Sheamus continued their impressive run as a tag team by besting Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day in just 1:43. It was a dominant display that left little doubt about which team is currently the top duo in WWE.

Pat McAfee's Moment

In one of the most unexpected results of the night, Pat McAfee upset Austin Theory in their Singles Match, using his cunning and quickness to outmaneuver the young upstart. The victory came at 9:37.

Mr. McMahon's Revenge

But in a stunning turn of events, Pat McAfee found himself on the receiving end of Mr. McMahon's wrath just hours later. The boss man dispatched McAfee with a vicious punch to the back of the head, reminding everyone that he is still the one calling the shots around these parts.

Roman Reigns' Dominance

And finally, it was Roman Reigns who closed out the show by unifying the WWE Championship and the Universal Title against Brock Lesnar in a Winner Takes All Match. The Big Dog proved too powerful for the Beastslayer, securing the pin with a thunderous Spear at 12:17.

As the dust settled on WrestleMania 38, it was clear that this was an event for the ages. With so many incredible performances and matches, there's no denying that this show will be remembered for years to come.
