WrestleMania 42 Night Two delivered where Night One couldn’t. Roman Reigns is World Heavyweight Champion. Brock Lesnar retired on the spot. Oba Femi at 27 just became a main eventer. Dave Simon, Ben Simon, and Johnny North break down every match and moment from the best night of WrestleMania weekend.
WrestleMania 42 Night One delivered a 6.5 out of 10 — fine wrestling, one genuine emotional moment in Paige’s return, and a main event worth watching. But 95 minutes of ring time in four hours, a crowd of 50,000 down from 63,226 last year, and constant commercial breaks left Dave and Ben asking the same question: did this feel like WrestleMania?
WrestleMania 42 predictions are in. On episode 778 of Wrestling Uncensored, Dave Simon and Genesis Johnny North previewed every match on the card — Night One and Night Two — with picks and analysis from the WrestleMania SmackDown go-home show.

Plus: Darby Allin becomes the new AEW World Champion in his hometown with Sting watching.
The UFC 327 results are in and Miami delivered chaos from the first card to the last.
