Wrestlemania 41 – live: Card from night 2 in Vegas featuring John Cena v Cody Rhodes

Next up, Bron Breakker defends his Intercontinental Title against Penta and Judgement Day teammates Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio.

We have a feeling Balor and Mysterio (son of the legend Rey) may not be friends by the end of this one…

Another table spot, but this time the other way: Priest tries to pay tribute to the Undertaker, walking along the top rope with the intention of jumping down on Drew…

But the Scot pushes Priest off the rope and to the outside, where he crashes through two tables next to each other!

Back in the ring, Drew sets up a chair in the corner, places Priest’s head against it, and runs at him for a Claymore kick! Bam.

Chekhov’s table: it’s there, so someone must go through it…

And they do! Razor’s Edge from Priest, launching Drew through the wood from the top turnbuckle.

1, 2, kickout! Role reversal now: Drew DDTs Priest on the steps, but the American kicks out!

“This is awesome,” chants the crowd.

Wow, I don’t think we’ve ever seen this from Drew before! With Priest on the outside, he runs across the ring and frontflips over the top rope, landing on his rival! The fans love that.

Back-and-forth action now. Drew throws a chair at Priest’s head and lands a Claymore kick, but Priest kicks out! Soon thereafter, Priest hits his variation on a chokeslam, but Drew kicks out.

Now Priest is beating up the Scot with a chair.

Expect a proper brawl here. McIntyre attacks Priest before the first bell, and they soon take to the outside.

There, Drew suplexes Priest on the entrance ramp, before grabbing the steel stairs. He’s unable to use them, as Priest stops him in his tracks… before grabbing a table, to the delight of the crowd!

But now it’s Drew who prevents Priest from using a weapon. And then McIntyre hammers Priest in the skull with the stairs!

McIntyre grabs a phone from someone in the front row (with a ‘McIntyre’ jersey on) and tweets a selfie of himself and a laid-out Priest! Similar to something he did last year.

Next up, it’s a grudge match between McIntyre and Priest – a ‘Sin City Street Fight’, no less.

In other words, there will be no disqualifications, no countouts, and probably plenty of weapons!

The root of this feud was WrestleMania 40, where Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to take the World Heavyweight Title from McIntyre… five minutes after the Scot had won the belt!

A brilliant final sequence sees Belair hit a finisher on Ripley, but Sky moonsaults off the top rope to break up the pin!

She then covers Belair and retains the gold!

Big chants of “Iyo” from the Vegas crowd.

A fantastic opener, and arguably the match of the weekend so far – although last night’s Rollins vs Reigns vs Punk match was terrific, too.

The pace quickens now, with lots of big moves – including one from the top turnbuckle that sees Ripley and Belair fall hard as Sky flips and lands on her feet!

The crowd roars in support of Sky, who is hyped, but the momentum swings and Belair hits a 450 splash on Sky! Kickout! Ripley with her finisher on Belair, kickout!

The end is near, you’d have to think, with the way this one is building.

Ripley tries her finisher on Sky from the top rope, but Sky reverses athletically! Sky tries a moonsault but lands nastily on Ripley’s raised legs (good reversal!).

Belair capitalises with a finisher on Sky, but Ripley JUST about breaks up the pin! The crowd is fired up. This is already one of the best matches of the weekend.

The crowd has largely been booing Belair, but after she shows her strength by parading a hoisted Sky around the ring – before slamming down the champ – she gets her respect from the 60-plus-thousand in Allegiant Stadium.

Outside, Ripley and Belair briefly team up to throw Sky into the barricade, but they quickly turn against each other.

Now a Razor’s Edge from Ripley, hurling Sky at Belair! Pinfall on Sky: 1, 2, kickout!

More action, and the first, “This is awesome,” chant of the night.

A blistering start to this one, with some high-flying offence from Sky.

She’s taken out now, though, leaving rivals Ripley and Belair to square off.

Some impressive athleticism from Belair, as she backflips off the top turnbuckle to avoid a sneak attack from the recovered Sky, while Ripley is stuck in the corner.

Some back and forth, then Sky with a leap off the top rope, and a pin attempt on both opponents at the same time! Kickout from both.

Now it’s Ripley’s turn to fly, as she flips off the ring apron onto Belair. But Sky gets the crowd fired up with a springboard moonsault to the outside, landing on both women.
