WWE WrestleMania 42 (Night 2) PLE Results: 4-19-26
3. Sami Zayn vs. Trick Williams (w/Lil Yachty) for the U.S. Championship.
Yachty shook hands with the broadcast team and then stood at ringside. Trick performed an early Bookend and got a two count. Cole said Trick paid homage to Booker T with that move. Trick went for a Trick Shot, but Zayn countered with a Blue Thunder Bomb for a two count of his own.
Zayn booted Trick while he was leaning over the bottom rope. Yachty checked on Trick. Zayn left the ring and then hit Yachty from behind. Zayn ran Yachty into the barricade. Zayn returned to the apron and performed a brainbuster on Trick. Zayn returned to the ring. Once Trick pulled himself up using the barricade, Zayn went back to the floor and hit Trick with a Helluva Kick.
Once Trick was back in the ring, Zayn set up for another Helluva Kick, but Yachty grabbed him from behind and clotheslined him over the top rope. Tirck put Zayn down with a spin kick and covered him for a good near fall. Trick went for a Trick Shot, but Zayn avoided it and rolled him up for a two count. Zayn hit an exploder suplex. Zayn went for another Helluva Kick, but Trick caught him with the Trick Shot and then pinned him.
Trick Williams defeated Sami Zayn in 7:10 to win the U.S. Championship.
Pryo shot off on the stage, and Trick celebrated with Yachty. Trick’s parents were shown in the front row dressed in white while chanting, “Whoop that Trick.” Trick greeted his parents and then returned to the ring and stood on the ropes while playing to the crowd. A dejected Zayn was shown seated on the floor…
A fun match with a satisfying finish. I love that the creative team didn’t mess around by dragging things out. They gave Oba Femi and Trick Williams big WrestleMania moments. This show has already topped the disappointing WrestleMania night one.
4. Dominik Mysterio vs. “The Demon” Finn Balor in a Street Fight.
Dom was apprehensive once the bell rang. The Demon worked him over with chops. Dom caught the Demon with a kick, but he no-sold it and went right back on the offensive. The Demon went to the floor and pulled out a table. Dom hit him with a suicide dive and then worked him over with a kendo stick before tossing him back inside the ring.
Dom tossed the kendo stick and several chairs into the ring. Dom worked over the Demon with one of the chairs. Dom set up a couple of chairs in the middle of the ring. Dom set up for a suplex, but the Demon reversed it and dropped Dom on the chairs. Dom caught the Demon with a superkick and then hit a 619 and a top rope frog splash. Dom went for the pin, but the Demon kicked out at one.
The Demon hit Dom with a pair of shotgun dropkicks. The Demon went for a Coup de Grace, but Dom avoided it and hit him with a chair, which led to a two count. A table was set up in a corner of the ring. The Demon put Dom down with a sling blade and then charged toward him, but Dom superkicked him and tossed him through the table.
Dom hit the Demon with a chair and then placed it in front of him while he was leaning against the ropes. Dom hit the 619 that drove the chair into the Demon’s face. Dom followed up with a top rope frog splash for a two count. Dom went to the floor and returned with a sponsored table, which he set up in the ring. The table fell over, and the fans gave him a hard time.
The Demon stood up and turned Dom inside out with a clothesline. Demon grabbed a chair and worked over Dom with it. The Demon wrapped the chair around Dom’s neck and then hit him with another shotgun dropkick. The Demon put Do on top of the table Dom set up in the ring and then drove him through it with a Coup de Grace before pinning him…
“The Demon” Finn Balor defeated Dominik Mysterio.
The match was solid. The fans love The Demon, but Finn Balor bringing back his alter ego made the outcome feel predictable. I grumbled in the WrestleMania 42 Night One Hit List about the abundance of ads on last night’s show. And now WWE officials totally redeemed themselves by putting together the greatest PLE teaser video ever by including Minnesota Vikings highlights!
5. Jade Cargill vs. Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women’s Championship.
Alicia Taylor delivered in-ring introductions for the title match. Jade was dominant early. She applied a crossface in the middle of the ring. Ripley broke it and tried to power up Jade on her back, but Jade broke free.
Ripley dropped Jade with a kick. Jade stuffed a Riptide. She followed up with a spinebuster. The broadcast team gushed over Jade’s performance. Jade went for Jaded, but Ripley countered into a pin. Ripley took offensive control.
Michin came out and distracted the referee. B-Fab tried to interfere. Ripley booted B-Fab off the apron. Jade picked up a near fall. Ripley ended up down on the floor. The referee caught Michin and B-Fab as they were approaching Ripley.
Iyo Sky made her entrance and worked over Michin and B-Fab on the floor. Sky hit them with an Asai moonsault. In the ring, Ripley headbutted Jade and set up for her finisher, but Jade avoided it and caught her with a kick to the face. Jade went for Jaded, but Ripley slipped between her legs and hit the Riptide finisher before getting the three count.
Rhea Ripley defeated Jade Cargill in 10:10 to win the WWE Women’s Championship.
Jade broke out some new moves and had a good outing. I’m a little surprised they moved the title to Ripley, but no complaints.
