After a fantastic Night 1 of WWE Wrestlemania 39, the second evening of matches is shaping up to be even bigger. Roman Reigns will put his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on the line against Cody Rhodes in what looks to be the toughest challenge yet for the Bloodline leader who has been WWE’s top champion for nearly 1,000 days.
GameSpot is inside SoFi Stadium for this year’s Wrestlemania, bringing you results and a review of Night 2 live, as it happens, mere feet from the ring. Unless you’re in attendance, the only way to catch Wrestlemania is on Peacock (or through traditional pay-per-view). While Peacock has a free tier, you will not be able to watch the WWE event through that. You’ll need a Premium ($5 a month, with ads) or Premium Plus Peacock ($10 a month, no ads) account. Regardless of which tier you choose, there will be a few WWE-related ads throughout the show.
There are multiple ways to watch Peacock. Aside from watching it on mobile devices and on the PC, you can stream the service on Amazon Fire devices, Android TV, Apple TV, LG Smart TVs, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Roku, Samsung Smart TVs, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xfinity, and more. As for when you can watch (and should tune into our live review, check out the times for Wrestlemania below.

At current, there are 6 matches scheduled for Night 2 of Wrestlemania 39. The main event will, of course, feature reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns defending his titles against 2023 Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes. That’s only one of the three scheduled title defenses on Night 2, though. Take a look at the night’s full card below.
Night 2 Match Card:
- Roman Reigns (c) vs. Cody Rhodes (Undisputed WWE Universal Championship)
- Brock Lesnar vs. Omos
- Bianca Belair (c) vs. Asuka (WWE Raw Women’s Championship)
- Gunther (c) vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus (WWE Intercontinental Championship)
- Edge vs. “The Demon” Finn Bálor in Hell in a Cell
- Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez vs. Natalya and Shotzi vs. Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler vs. Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville in a Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Match
Brock Lesnar vs. Omos
Winner: Brock Lesnar via pinfall
The size difference between Brock and Omos is hilarious because the Beast Incarnate is rarely the little guy in the room. That’s not the case here, which makes for some downright fantastic visuals as Lesnar gets tossed around the ring by the Nigerian Giant. Something WWE has wisely done of late is show that Lesnar isn’t impervious to pain and, for his part, Lesnar has gotten very good at selling offense.
Still, like most Lesnar matches (and certainly most Omos matches), this was a short and basic fight. Omos beat Brock up a ton, Brock got in a couple (very impressive) German suplexes and hit an F5 for an absolutely pointless victory. This does nothing for Lesnar and makes Omos look weaker than a guy who’s not around very often. Sadly, this wasn’t as hot a start to Night 2 as Theory/Cena was for Night 1. But you can’t win them all.
Rating: 5/10
Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez vs. Natalya and Shotzi vs. Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler vs. Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville in a Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Match
Winner: Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler via submission
The issue with this match is that there’s just not really many actual tag teams in the women’s division. Most of these were makeshift teams. Sure, Ronda and Shayna have been working together of late, but even they don’t feel totally gelled as a team. Of course, there’s still time for that but given this is a Women’s Tag Team Showcase match, it felt more like a bout designed to get a bunch of women not in storylines onto the card.
Ronda and Shayna won by submission (the first of the weekend, so far, unless you count NXT) but there’s no telling what that victory will actually mean going forward. This just felt inconsequential and while it wasn’t a bad match, it didn’t match the level set by the men’s match on Night 1.
Rating: 6/10
