WWE WrestleMania 39 (Night 1 & 2) Results: Winners, Matches, Venue, Attendance

WWE WrestleMania 39, also known as WrestleMania Goes Hollywood took place over two nights on April 1st and 2nd, 2023, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The event was originally planned for WrestleMania 37's location before the COVID-19 pandemic caused its relocation. The hosts for the event were wrestler The Miz and rapper Snoop Dogg.



WrestleMania 39 marked the sixth time the event was held in Greater Los Angeles and the seventh time in the state of California overall. The event also saw Triple H take over creative control for the first time after Vince McMahon's retirement as Chairman and CEO of the company in July 2022. Although McMahon returned as Executive Chairman in January 2023, this did not affect Triple H's position. Additionally, WrestleMania 39 was the first to be livestreamed on Binge in Australia. After the event, on April 3rd, it was announced that the McMahon family had sold the company to Endeavor, making it the last WrestleMania under their ownership.



The card featured a total of 15 matches, with eight on Night 1 and seven on Night 2. The main event for Night 1 saw Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeat The Usos to win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship and end their record-setting title reign of 622 days. This was the first time a tag team championship match was the main event of a WrestleMania, and only the second time a tag team match had been the main event, with the first being WrestleMania I in March 1985. Other notable matches included Seth "Freakin" Rollins defeating Logan Paul, Rhea Ripley defeating Charlotte Flair to win the SmackDown Women's Championship, and Austin Theory defeating John Cena in the opening bout to retain Raw's United States Championship.



Pat McAfee made his in-ring return, and Snoop Dogg made his WWE in-ring debut, both winning impromptu matches against The Miz on Night 1 and Night 2, respectively. The main event for Night 2 saw Roman Reigns defeat Cody Rhodes to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, making him the second wrestler after Hulk Hogan to enter three consecutive WrestleManias as world champion during the same reign and the only wrestler to defend a world championship at each. Other notable matches included Edge defeating "The Demon" Finn Bálor in a Hell in a Cell match, Gunther retaining SmackDown's Intercontinental Championship against Sheamus and Drew McIntyre in a triple threat match, and Brock Lesnar defeating Omos in the opening bout. Night 2 also saw the return of Shane McMahon, who last appeared at the 2022 Royal Rumble.



Critics generally praised the event, particularly the Snoop Dogg match against The Miz, the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship match, the Hell in a Cell match, the Men's WrestleMania Showcase fatal four-way tag team match, Logan Paul vs. Seth "Freakin" Rollins, the six-woman tag team match, and Rey Mysterio vs. Dominik Mysterio. However, while the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match was also well-received, critics criticized its ending for being pointless and unnecessary.

The Rock's Absence Causes WWE To Alter WrestleMania 39's Championship Lineup And Introduce New Title Belt

Several months ago, WrestlingNews.co first reported plans for two colossal championship matches at the forthcoming WWE WrestleMania 39. According to the report, the intention was to divide the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship eventually. ## At the previous WrestleMania 38, the Universal Champion Roman Reigns conquered WWE Champion Brock Lesnar to merge the titles. ## WrestlingNews.co's report highlighted that the initial blueprint for the first night of WrestleMania 39 was for either Cody Rhodes or Drew McIntyre to confront Seth Rollins for the WWE Championship, while Reigns would take on The Rock. However, WWE had to revise their plans as soon as they found out that The Rock would not partake in the match. ## This Monday, Triple H announced that a new World Heavyweight Champion would be crowned on May 27 at WWE Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. Although unconfirmed, based on the hints dropped on Raw, it appears that Rollins is the leading contender to become the inaugural champion. ## According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that the inception of the decision to introduce a second top title belt dates back to WrestleMania 38. ## Meltzer wrote, “The idea of bringing back the second title dates back literally to when the titles were unified at the April 3, 2022, WrestleMania show in Dallas when Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar. We had been told before the match that the company felt it needed two titles, but also based on the Mania stipulation, it had to wait a certain length of time before creating the second one.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's WrestleMania 39 Match With Top WWE Star Derailed By TV Show Schedule

Despite the favorable reception of WWE WrestleMania 39 by numerous fans, a contingent of enthusiasts lamented the conspicuous absence of the legendary 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin from the event, particularly in the wake of his comeback to the ring at WWE WrestleMania 38. ## In a recent interview with Bleacher Report, the 'Texas Rattlesnake' disclosed that a definite proposition was in place for him to engage in a highly anticipated bout at WrestleMania 39 with one of the company's top-tier performers. However, the production schedule for his television program ultimately thwarted this potential clash of titans. ## "People have asked me, 'Why didn't do you do 'Mania?' They asked me, but I didn't know what my life was going to look like until I was done with this show. I finished up on the show four days before WrestleMania. I drove every single mile in an RV and I brought dumbbells with me, a sandbag and a kettle bell, so I got my workouts in. ## The concrete idea was a match. It was a match with one of the top guys in the business, period. I'll let everybody speculate about that, but yeah, it was a match and I just didn't think I could get ready for it in time because I didn't know my schedule, which is what I told them. 'I don't know what my life looks like until I finish this show.'" ## Special thanks to Bleacher Report & Graham Matthews for the quote(s). ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Road Dogg Defends WWE's Decision For Roman Reigns To Retain Against Cody Rhodes At WrestleMania 39

According to Brian James, aka Road Dogg, who is currently a WWE Executive and also a Hall of Famer, the decision for Roman Reigns to retain the WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39 was a strategic one for the company. James stated in a recent episode of his podcast 'Oh...You Didn't Know?' that a victory for Rhodes would not have been a smart business move. ## James explained that the storyline leading up to the match was focused on Rhodes' desire to fulfill his father Dusty Rhodes' legacy and claim the top prize in WWE. However, he believes that the outcome of the match was not the end of Rhodes' title chase, but rather the closing of a chapter in his story. James implied that Rhodes may have more opportunities in the future to pursue the championship, and a victory at WrestleMania 39 may not have allowed for further storylines to develop. ## James also mentioned that from a business standpoint, keeping the title on Reigns, who was portrayed as a dominant and top heel (villainous character) at the time, was a strategic decision to maintain his momentum and elevate his status as a top champion in the company. He added that sometimes, in the wrestling business, unexpected outcomes and decisions are made to create drama, suspense, and future opportunities for storytelling. ## “The argument is a legitimate one to go back now that history has told that story and go, ‘Okay. Should he have got it then? Should he won it then?’ Like, man, I don’t think that’s smart business. I think that’s great booking if you’re a fan, but I don’t think it’s smart business. If you tell the story and go, ‘The end,’ close the book. Then, ‘Okay, now we got to start over,’ I just feel like this was just a chapter closing. ## He came in, and this has been said by some people that speak about wrestling that kinda know what they’re talking about, he came in, and he had no adversity. He went right through the Rumble, right through everybody, and right to the champion. So the argument could be made, ‘Man if you just give it to him now, did he earn it?’ ## Yes, he has over the extension of his career, for sure, if you can tell that whole story, and they have tried to tell that whole story as much as they could if you see in the promos, they talk a lot about what all he’s done because that’s a really cool part of his story is what he has accomplished in this industry. By himself, you know what I mean? Like, I mean, yes, he’s had some help. Yes, his father was a wrestler, his brother, all that. Man, he came in and changed the game a little bit, and kudos to him for that. ## So really, it’s a bigger picture conversation. Whether he has the title around his waist right now or not, let’s just stop and think about what Cody’s done and accomplished from a human standpoint. Holy mackerel, this dude’s an entrepreneur in the industry of sports entertainment, and that has never existed before.” ## H/T: Fightful for the above transcription ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Cody Rhodes' WrestleMania 38 WWE Title Bid Foiled By Roman Reigns' Secret Victory Plan

Roman Reigns retaining the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania 39 against Cody Rhodes was always the WWE's plan. After making a return to WWE at WrestleMania 38, Cody Rhodes expressed his desire to become WWE Champion. ## He was given an opportunity to do so after recovering from an injury, entering the men's Royal Rumble match at number 30 and winning it, which earned him a shot at Roman Reigns' Undisputed WWE Universal Title. Many believed that Rhodes was the one to put an end to Reigns' dominance at the top of WWE. ## The company built up to their showdown, which served as the main event of the second night of WrestleMania. However, outside interference from The Usos led to Rhodes' defeat, as Solo Sikoa hit him with the Samoan Spike. ## The finish of the match came as a shock to many fans, but according to Dave Meltzer's report in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the plan was always for Reigns to retain his title. The outcome of the match was predetermined, and the company never intended for Rhodes to walk away with the championship. ## “Reigns winning was always the plan, although it was kept secret and almost nobody knew," Dave Meltzer noted the following about the finish. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
