Stunning day 1 for Wrestlemania 41
WrestleMania 41 kicked off with a bang in Las Vegas, featuring seven thrilling matches that kept the crowd on the edge of their seats.
World Heavyweight Championship
The night began with Jey Uso vs Gunther. The fans went crazy as the “Main Event Jey Uso” emerged from the crowd along to his popular titantron. Odds were against Jey as his record against Gunther was rather bad. However, he made Gunther tap out in a stunning upset to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
WWE Women's Championship
The night also saw Tiffany Stratton successfully defend her WWE Women's Championship against Charlotte Flair. Despite Flair's dominance, Stratton managed to wear her down and land the Prettiest Moonsault Ever for the victory.
Jade Cargill vs Naomi
The match began with Jade dominating Naomi, slamming her into the corner with a flurry of strikes and stiff right hands. Naomi fought back, stunning Jade with a kick and landing an X-Factor on the outside.
The action spilled outside the ring, with Jade launching Naomi into the barricade. Naomi regained control, delivering a blockbuster off the steel steps and a beautiful split-legged moonsault off the top rope for a near-fall.
Jade caught Naomi mid-air and hit a powerslam, followed by her finisher, "Jaded," to secure the win. The victory marked Jade's first singles match win at WrestleMania, avenging her months-long absence due to a mysterious attack by Naomi.
World Tag Team Championship
The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) won the World Tag Team Championship from The War Raiders (Erik and Ivar). War Raiders had the early advantage but The New Day managed to turn it around.
As the match progressed, The War Raiders attempted to regain momentum, but The New Day's speed and agility proved too much. Woods delivered a picture-perfect top-rope elbow drop, while Kingston followed up with a precision Trouble in Paradise.
Kingston tripped up Ivar as he attempted to launch himself off the ropes. Woods seized the opportunity, delivering a swift kick to Ivar's head. The New Day then executed a perfectly timed Midnight Hour, with Woods pinning Ivar to secure the victory and the World Tag Team Championship.
