Elsewhere on night 2, Dominik Mysterio won the Intercontinental championship, plus Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria won the Women’s Tag Team championship.
The only two people who walked in and out of WrestleMania night 1 and 2 as champions were both the women’s champions, as IYO SKY and Tiffany Stratton both retained their gold.
