WrestleMania 42 Night 2 Results & Grades (Toss Boss: Extra Crispy Comedy Cut)

Alright Toss Boss Nation—WrestleMania 42 Night 2 just wrapped, and my nervous system is filing a formal complaint. This show had endings, beginnings, ladder-related insurance claims, and a main event where the rulebook got treated like a coupon that expired in 2009.

Let’s hit the results and grades, and yes—I’m warming up the Roman rant like it’s leftovers and I’m not even pretending it’s not happening.

Oba Femi def. Brock Lesnar (Pinfall)

Grade: A+

Oba Femi didn’t “beat” Brock Lesnar. Oba Femi evicted Brock Lesnar.

Brock came out throwing Germans like he was trying to return them to sender, hit an F5, and Oba popped up like your little cousin after you tell him it’s bedtime: “No.”

Then Oba hits the chokeslam and Fall From Grace and pins Brock like, “Thanks for coming, drive safe.”

And Brock leaving the gloves and boots in the ring? That’s wrestling’s version of dropping your badge on the desk and walking out while the office explodes behind you in slow motion.

Penta def. Je’Von Evans, JD McDonagh, Rusev, Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee (Ladder Match) — Retains IC Title

Grade: A-

This match was six men trying to speedrun CTE for a shiny belt.

Ladders were everywhere. In the ring. Outside the ring. Bridged between things they should not be bridged between. At one point I’m pretty sure a ladder applied for a mortgage.

Penta hit a Mexican Destroyer from one ladder onto another ladder that was suspended like a booby trap from an Indiana Jones movie. That wasn’t a wrestling move—that was a “your surgeon just bought a boat” move.

Penta retaining was the right call. Also, everyone in this match should be rewarded with a complimentary ice bath and a coupon for spine replacement.

Trick Williams def. Sami Zayn (Pinfall) — Wins United States Title (with Lil Yachty at ringside)

Grade: B

Trick Williams is a star. Sami Zayn is a workhorse. Lil Yachty was there like when your friend brings their cousin to the function and you’re like, “Cool… so anyway.”

The match was good, but it felt like it was about to become great and then somebody yelled, “WE’RE LATE, WRAP IT UP.” Still—Trick wins the U.S. title in his WrestleMania debut, and that’s a big-time moment.

Trick Shot, 1-2-3, new champ. Sami’s selling afterward looked like he just realized he left his car windows down in a thunderstorm.

“The Demon” Finn Balor def. Dominik Mysterio (Street Fight)

Grade: B

Dom fought like a man who knows his family group chat is watching.

Street fight rules meant chairs, tables, kendo sticks—basically IKEA but with violence. Dom hit the 619, hit the frog splash, and Balor kicked out at one like he just remembered he’s got a flight at 6 a.m. and refuses to be inconvenienced.

Demon Balor wins with the Coup de Grace through the table, and Dom is now legally classified as “foldable.”

---

Rhea Ripley def. Jade Cargill (Pinfall) — Wins WWE Women’s Championship

Grade: B

This was one of Jade’s best matches, and Rhea deserves a trophy for selling like she got hit by a truck that was also mad at her.

Jade looked strong, Rhea looked relentless, and the interference got a little “everybody get in here, we’re doing a school play,” but the finish landed: Rhea finds the opening, Riptide, new champ.

Rhea holding that title again feels like the universe correcting itself. Like when you finally flip the pillow to the cold side.

---

Danhausen segment (Cena/Miz/Kit Wilson)

Grade: B-

Cena’s laughing, Danhausen’s doing cartoon villain magic, and there’s a dogpile that looked like a Wi-Fi router exploded into tiny Danhausens.

Was it necessary? No.

Was it WrestleMania? Unfortunately yes.

Did it make me question reality? Absolutely.

Roman Reigns def. CM Punk (Pinfall) — Wins World Heavyweight Championship

Grade: A

This match was epic. Punk bled, Roman got pushed, and they beat each other like they were trying to delete each other’s save files.

They brawled everywhere, stole each other’s moves, traded submissions, hit finishers, kicked out, hit more finishers, kicked out again—this was “main event at WrestleMania” energy with capital letters and fireworks.

And then we got to the part where I stood up off my couch like a dad who heard a noise downstairs. That noise? Roman Reigns picking up the steel steps like he was about to remodel Punk’s face.

Toss Boss Mini-Rant (Now With Extra Spice): ROMAN AND THE STEEL STEPS

Roman Reigns picked up the steel steps and smashed CM Punk in the head.

Not “Punk ran into them.”

Not “Roman shoved him and he clipped them.”

Not “oops, accidental contact.”

No. Roman grabbed the steps like he was choosing a weapon in a video game:

“Hmm… chair? Nah. Kendo stick? Too basic. Ah yes—industrial staircase.”

And the ref just watched like:

“Interesting. Bold strategy. Anyway.”

How is that not a disqualification? What are we doing here? What are the rules—suggestions? Vibes? A loose set of guidelines written on a napkin?

If steel steps are legal, then next year somebody’s bringing a Roomba with a knife taped to it and the ref’s gonna be like, “I didn’t see it, I was adjusting my sleeve.”

Roman wins, fine. Roman wins after turning the steps into a handheld felony and the match continues like it’s normal? That’s where my brain starts buffering.
