After a successful Night 1 of WrestleMania 37, the event drew to a close on Night 2 with 7 matches taking place including the triple threat main event for the Universal Championship.

The first match of Night 2 saw the end of a long,twisted and bizarre storyline between "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton after Orton defeated Wyatt inside 6 minutes. 

After winning the Tag Team Turmoil on Night 1, Natalya and Tamina got their hands on the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. The dominant tag team champions retained thier crown after Baszler applied a technical submission on Natalya to get the win.

In the next match "Mr Conspiracy" Sami Zayn fought off against his former best friend Kevin Owens. Zayn has been allegedly for months that there are some "conspiracy theories" against him and had been carrying a documentary crew with him to expose these "theories". He even invited Logan Paul to be his guest.

After Owens picked up the win, Logan Paul got into the ring and tried to shake hands with him. Seeing this Zayn got angry and got shoved down Paul and walked off angrily. Later Owens would do a "Stone Cold" and Stun Logan Paul with a stunner. Steve Austin will be proud.

The next match saw the 'Celtic Warrior' Sheamus defeat Riddle to win the United States Championship for a third time in his career. After the match Riddle was seen bleeding heavily due to the Brougue Kick by Sheamus.

Following the US Championship, the Intercontinental Championship was on the line in a Nigerian Drum Fight where Apollo Crews with a little help from his new ally Dabba Kato defeated Big E to win the match.

The penultimate match saw the Raw Women's Championship being defended. The Challenger Rhea Ripley took on the Champion Asuka. Ripley knew, a second straight lose at WrestleMania would damage her career and gave a tough fight which eventually resulted in her winning the gold.

And finally the main event. The match which was once supposed to be a singles match between the "Head of the table" Roman Reigns and the "Rates R Superstar" Edge, turned into a triple threat after Daniel Bryan found his way in, after a controversial lose at Fast lane.

After a fierce battle, Edge almost won the match after he speared Reigns. When he tried to cover for the pinfall, Bryan dragged out the official and saved the match due to no disqualification rules. Edge then cracked both Bryan and Reigns with steel chairs and prepared for con-chair-to to both of them. After hitting Bryan for con-chair-to, he tried to hit Reigns with the same but was stopped by an interfering Jey Uso.

Following the distraction from Uso, Reigns then speared Edge, gave him a con-chair-to, dragged him on top of Bryan and pinned both of them down to retain the Universal Championship.
