Gunther vs. "Main Event" Jey Uso in a singles match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Uso had the upper hand in the beginning of the match, but Gunther sought to regain control by shoving him in the ring corner. For every piece of ground Jey would gain, the Ring General would punish him with chops. Gunther was in such disbelief that at one point, he grabbed the World Heavyweight title, took advantage of the referee's blind spot, and hit Uso in the head to a near fall. Jey would also wiggle out of Gunther's patented submission. The Main Event Twin would then goad the Austrian standout to chop him more, while adding insult to injury. After a series of elbows and kicks, Uso would rise to the occasion by scouting Gunther's offense and countering with a body slam, a set of super kicks, and Gunther's own submission to tap him out!
Winner and New World Heavyweight Champion: "Main Event" Jey Uso

The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) vs. The War Raiders in a tag team match for the WWE World Tag Team Championship
Kingston and Woods sought to turn their WrestleMania Tag Team fortune around by taking on The War Raiders. The New Day immediately sprang into action by attacking Erik and knocking Ivar off of the apron. But Erik used Kofi as a battering ram into Woods. The Raiders would use their innovative offense and force to quell The New Day, but Xavier and Kofi would target the injured neck of Erik.
Once Ivar got the hot tag, the trajectory of the match changed as he barreled through Kingston with a crossbody and sit-down splash. Ivar's deceptive agility would get the upper hand on the multi-time tag champs, but only until Woods hit the Honor Roll. After a devastating doomsday sault to Kofi, the count was broken up by Xavier's flying elbow.
After a hard-hitting sequence between Ivar and Woods, the Raiders would try to execute their War Machine finsh, but Kingston pulled Ivar off the ropes! The New Day hit their Daylight stomp to Erik and Kofi held his foot down to assist Xavier's pinfall.
Winners and new World Tag Team Champions: The New Day

Jade Cargill versus Naomi in a singles match
After months of mystery and heated emotion, Jade Cargill and Naomi finally got to clash. WWE debuted the unhinged former champion's new theme music and tron that featured caution tape with the words "Third Wheel," "Undervalued," and "Too Nice." After Jade got an early advantage, the vicious Naomi would rake Cargill's eyes and give a DDT on the floor.
Though Naomi gave a great effort with her athleticism, it was Jade who would surprise the audience and her opponent with her displays of strength. At one point, Cargill caught her former Big Three sister as she attempted a splash and lifted her into a suplex. The Storm would solidify her first singles WrestleMania match by ducking Naomi's roundhouse kick, lifting her on her shoulders and throwing the cautionary queen into a slam before closing the match with her Jaded finisher.
Winner: Jade Cargill

LA Knight versus Jacob Fatu in a singles match for the WWE United States Championship
The Mega Star began the match with a flurry of punches and a neckbreaker to the Samoan Werewolf. Knight also went for his BFT finish, but that was countered by Fatu. An impressive pop-up Samoan drop and an elbow from Jacob took the air out of Knight. LA would begin to target the legs of Fatu before baseball sliding out of the ring. But Jacob would catch Knight mid-crossbody and turn it into a body slam.
Knight went back to the basics of wrestling with a little brutality to try to knock down the street-smart athlete, including jumping on the top rope and suplexing Fatu to a near fall. Jacob went on a rampage with the family hip attacks and failed to execute his moonsault due to Knight turning it into a BFT for a near fall.
The Bay Area dynamo would hit a Samoan drop and two moonsaults from the top rope to defeat LA Knight.
Winner and New United States Champion: Jacob Fatu
Grade: A+
El Grande Americano versus Rey Fenix in a singles match
The masked American luchador decided to start his WrestleMania debut by getting in the face of Vikingo, one of the faces of the newly acquired AAA. Needless to say, it did not go well as Vikingo kicked him and Fenix tried to take advantage to a near fall. Both Rey and Grande Americano showed fantastic high-flying athleticism, but there was still a bit of Gable dust on Americano as he tried to embarrass Fenix.
Americano would even push Rey off the ropes as he ran across them to knock him down. El Grande would then plant the steel plate in his mask and execute a headbutt with Fenix flying towards him. EGA would then hit his own flying headbutt for the victory. After the match, Vikingo would come to the aid of Rey Fenix.
Winner: El Grande Americano

Charlotte Flair versus Tiffany Stratton in a singles match for the WWE Women's Championship
This match began as a brawl in and outside of the ring. Once the action got back inside, however, Stratton scouted a few of Charlotte's long-standing strategies. Flair would get the upper hand with blows to Tiffy's face and her headscissors/facebuster/triangle suplexes. Tiffany would then use her agility to outpace Flair with her acrobatic style.
Tiffany would then take an uncharacteristically vicious turn by targeting Charlotte's braced knee that was injured fourteen months ago. This would set the decorated Horsewoman off as she sought to hurt Stratton. Both ladies would trade insults and finishers back and forth before Tiffany found an opening for her final Prettiest Moonsault Ever for the star-making win.
Winner and still Women's Champion: Tiffany Stratton
Grade: A-
Seth Rollins versus Roman Reigns versus CM Punk in a triple threat match
You could cut the tension with a knife. Another level of tension came from Reigns wondering where his Wise Man's loyalties lie. The match officially started when the Original Tribal Chief started beating on Rollins after they had words with each other involving Punk and Heyman. Roman would gain the upper hand over Seth and Punk with a clothesline over the top rope and a drive-by kick. As Reigns would vent his frustrations at Paul Heyman leaving him, Punk would take advantage by throwing his head into the ring post. Rollins seemed to have the match won when he caught Roman's spear attempt and morphed it into a pedigree as well as a curb stomp for a near fall.
Punk would rejoin the match by lifting the Visionary into a GTS attempt, only to drop Rollins into a spear by Reigns. The first time WrestleMania main eventer would have his moment to end Roman with GTS, but Roman refused to give up. Emotional manipulation would play a factor as well, with Seth looking to align with Reigns to take out CM Punk, but Reigns responded by throwing both him and Rollins through the brand-new announce desks!
As the match broke down, all three men gave their best shots and used each other's finishers countless times before the ECW founder would insert himself by falsely aiding Punk and Reigns with a steel chair. Heyman would then betray both Punk and his former Tribal Chief to align with Seth Freakin' Rollins and allow him to use the steel chair to hit Reigns in the back again to win the match.
