Oba Femi def. Brock Lesnar — Lesnar Retires After the Match
A passing of the torch, then a goodbye. Oba Femi made his WrestleMania debut by pinning Brock Lesnar in 4:45, and Lesnar followed it with the most meaningful moment of his WWE career's second act: leaving his gloves and boots in the ring to signal retirement.
Alicia Taylor's ring introductions were interrupted by Paul Heyman, who took over to do the honors for Lesnar — a rare touch for a non-title bout that underscored the stakes. Lesnar got a massive pop from the Allegiant Stadium crowd. Femi got one just as loud, with "Oba! Oba!" chants filling the arena before the bell.
The two locked up in a collar-and-elbow that turned into a stalemate before Lesnar shoved Femi off. They repeated the exchange, and Lesnar eventually carried Femi to the corner. Femi answered with running uppercuts, went back for a third, and Lesnar caught him with an F5. As Lesnar rose to celebrate, Femi got to his feet first, hit a massive chokeslam, and followed with the Fall From Grace for the pin. Michael Cole on commentary: "The fall from grace from Oba Femi to the Beast, Brock Lesnar."
Then the retirement. Lesnar stayed in the ring after the bell as "Thank you Brock" chants rolled through Allegiant Stadium. He took off his gloves, took off his boots, and placed them in the center of the ring. He raised his hands, shared an emotional hug with Paul Heyman, and gestured to the fans before slowly walking up the ramp, stopping to shake hands with fans along the way.
This was Lesnar's first televised WrestleMania since WrestleMania 39 in 2023, and his 13th WrestleMania match overall. He finishes 6-7 at The Showcase of the Immortals. Femi goes 1-0 and leaves Las Vegas with the biggest win of his career. Full breakdown in our Brock Lesnar retirement report.
Penta Retains Intercontinental Championship in Six-Man Ladder Match
An instant classic. Penta became just the second Superstar in WrestleMania history to retain the Intercontinental Championship in a ladder match — joining Razor Ramon at WrestleMania X — outlasting Je'Von Evans, Rey Mysterio, Rusev, JD McDonagh, and Dragon Lee in 15:10.
The match opened with Penta diving onto Rusev before the luchador trio (Penta, Dragon Lee, Rey Mysterio) took over on McDonagh. Rusev bridged a ladder from the apron to the announce table early, setting up one of several highlight spots. Dragon Lee hit a suicide tijeras over the ropes onto Evans. Mysterio countered Lee's Styles Clash into a Frankensteiner. Rey later dropkicked Lee into a ladder and hit the 619, got hung in the rungs himself, and took a Lee dropkick. Penta launched Rey over his head to drive Rusev through a propped ladder on the floor.
Inside, McDonagh hit a Spanish Fly off the ladder on Dragon Lee. Je'Von Evans answered with an OG Cutter off the top to pull Rusev off a ladder. Rey, hung in a Tree of Woe on a ladder, took a Dragon Lee springboard double stomp. Rusev hit a uranage on Evans from a bridged ladder to steel. The closing stretch saw Penta hit McDonagh with a Mexican Destroyer on top of a ladder, then catch Evans with the same move to clear the way. Penta climbed and retrieved his title to retain.

Trick Williams def. Sami Zayn to Win the United States Championship
Trick Williams won his first main-roster championship in his WrestleMania debut, dethroning Sami Zayn in 7:06 to become the new United States Champion. Lil Yachty accompanied Williams to the ring; Zayn walked out to the usual Vegas mix of boos and his own sung theme.
The pace was hot from the bell. Zayn sent Williams to the floor and teased a suicide dive early. Williams recovered, took it back to Zayn, and hit a Book End for the first near-fall. Zayn answered with a Blue Thunder Bomb for a near-fall of his own. Zayn leaned heel hard — working Williams over, having to be restrained by the referee multiple times, and when Lil Yachty checked on Trick, Zayn cracked him from behind and drove Williams into the barricade. Zayn rammed Williams' head into the ring post and dropped him on the apron with a brainbuster.
Trick fought back and pulled it out. The double-turn finally landed on the biggest stage — Zayn heel work, Trick babyface payoff — and Williams leaves Allegiant Stadium a WrestleMania debutant and a champion.
In Progress: Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio (Street Fight)
Dominik Mysterio got an elaborate Luchador-inspired entrance, walking to the ring accompanied by dozens of masked men for the culmination of his feud with Finn Balor. Balor followed, crawling toward an illuminated heart on the stage, sporting a spiked mohawk helmet on top of his traditional Demon paint and costume — his first Demon appearance since WrestleMania 39. Stay tuned for updates.
