WrestleMania 41 Night 1 Live Blog: I'm Talking The Biggest Matches, Moments And More
Welcome to WrestleMania.... Night 1!
For wrestling fans around the world, the best day of the year is here: it's time for WrestleMania 41! After spending the past few months on a longer-than-normal "Road to WrestleMania," the biggest, brightest, and toughest WWE Superstars are hitting Sin City for the "Showcase of the Immortals," and I'm here to talk about it as it all goes down.
Whether you're watching with a group of friends, on the couch with family, want to see how our predictions hold up, or in Allegiant Stadium (dude, get off your phone and watch the show), CinemaBlend's live blog of WrestleMania 41 Night 1 is going to be you one-stop shop for all the biggest matches, moments, surprises, and more as we kick off "Super Bowl of Wrestling!"
We've got championship matches, blood feuds, and CM Punk's first Mania match in over a decade. And we're just getting started...
Match | Stipulation |
|---|---|
Jey Uso defeated Gunther (c) | Singles Match for the World Heavyweight Championship |

Yes! Yes! Yes! Jacob Fatu has won the United States Championship. That guy can go! Hopefully this is a sign of things to come for Fatu, and this WrestleMania card.
Finally.... the crowd shows up! I don't know if it's the building or the in-ring product, but Allegiant has pretty much been silent outside of this United States Championship match. Hopefully, this momentum continues in the latter half of the Night 1 card.
But LA Knight's car is so cool. Yeah!

Jacob Fatu is him!
Oh Snap! Jacob Fatu is about to make his WrestleMania debut when he takes on LA Knight for the United States Championship. The first two title matches tonight saw new champs. Is it going to be the case here? Probably, unless Solo Sikoa gets involved...
Time for a SummerSlam ad... Looks like Cardi B will be getting in on the fun when WWE takes over MetLife in August.
Jade Cargill gets revenge, wins her first singles WrestleMania match, and looks like a badass '90s Storm in the process. The crowd is still dead, but this was my favorite match of the night so far. Still a lot of wrestling to go...

And we're off and running!
Our first non-title match is coming up. Jade Cargill vs. Naomi also happens to be one of my most anticipated bouts on the card. I LOVE heated feuds like this.
AND NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS..... THE NEW DAY!

I'm a sucker for super-heavyweights that can move around the ring, so it's no surprise I'm there for Ivar.

Tag team action for the Clash of Clans title, er, World Tag Team Championship, is underway.
The New Day and The War Raiders are up next? Is the leaner, meaner, and vindictive tag team about to add another tag title to its collection?
Brothers don't shake hands, brothers gotta hug!
Gunther Taps! Gunther Taps! Gunther Taps! "Main Event" Jey Uso is your new World Heavyweight Champion after that offensive onslaught!
Powerbomb -> Superkick -> Spear -> Uso Splash -> Uso Splash -> Uso Splash! Is Jey Uso about to be the champ?
It must be laundry day in Vegas because it's one clothesline after another in this opening match.
Powerbombs, foreign objects, and sleeper holds can't bring Jey Uso down. What's it going to take for Gunther to retain?

Gunther has only been pinned by two wrestlers -- Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn -- since making his WWE main roster debut. Will Jey Uso be the third? We'll know here shortly.
But it looks like we're getting our traditional Triple H, er, WWE Hall of Famer Paul "Triple H" Levesque, WrestleMania promo before we see any in-ring action.
Welcome to WrestleMania!!!!

Looks like we're getting things started with "Main Event" Jey Uso challenging Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship! I haven't been hyped for this match, but I'm starting to get there. We shall see...
Jelly Roll gets us started with a low-key rendition of "God Bless America" ahead of WrestleMania Saturday.
Now we're on to those "walking while not looking at the camera" introductions WWE loves so much.
A Paul Heyman hype package for the city of Las Vegas? Sign me up! We're minutes away from WrestleMania 41!
Speaking of injuries... Bayley appears to have been attacked backstage earlier today. It looks like Lyra Valkyria has 24 hours to find a new partner for her WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match on WrestleMania 41 Night 2.
Can we get Chelsea Green on the card?
The crowd is filing in, the promo packages are playing, and we're less than an hour until WrestleMania 41 kicks off. Though the matches have started yet, WWE has already made some major announcements so far in Night 1:
- Rey Fenix will be making his WrestleMania debut when he faces El Grande Americano tonight. Fenix is a last-minute replacement for Rey Mysterio, who was injured during Friday's SmackDown taping.
- WWE has announced the acquisition of Mexican wrestling promotion AAA as well as a Worlds Collide premium live event at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday, June 7th.
