 Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch def. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria in a Triple Threat MatchI wouldn't be shocked if these women requested to go on first if they weren't going to be the main event. The correct choice was made. This was a great Triple Threat with the expected excellent work from all three and a strong pace. The execution of the finish was well done and I liked that Lynch pinned Bayley to retain, which hopefully means Valkyria will get one last shot at SummerSlam to blow off their feud.

 Cody Rhodes def. Randy Orton in the King of the Ring FinalsEven with it being extremely predictable that Rhodes was winning, I thought these two went out there and had the best bout of the entire show. Then again, that shouldn't come as much of a surprise given their history and chemistry. It started slow, but the crowd didn't seem to mind the methodical pace because both guys are so over. Rhodes felt like the heel by default, yet Orton was the one attempting to cheat toward the end and giving heel vibes on the ramp afterward. Either way, I can't wait for them to eventually have a full-fledged feud if this was any indication of how great it's going to be.
 Naomi def. Rhea Ripley, Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia, Roxanne Perez and Alexa Bliss to Win the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder MatchThis was the more star-studded Ladder match of the two, but I enjoyed the men's slightly more. That's to take nothing away from the excellent effort these ladies put forth, however. This the usual demolition derby with everyone getting their time to shine, specifically the newcomers. Naomi was my pick to win and I'm extremely excited she did. She's been killing it as a heel and should be champion before long.
 United States Champion Jacob Fatu def. LA Knight, Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest in a Fatal 4-Way MatchAlthough the Fatal 4-Way we got for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41 was better, this was still fun for what it was. It had a nice pace and the crowd was into the action from start to finish. The stuff with McIntyre and Priest was well done and obviously indicates their feud isn't finished yet. I assumed Fatu would retain, but I didn't think it'd be after an assist from the debuting Jeff Cobb, who has been rumored to be joining WWE for the past two months. That was an awesome moment and I'm excited to see what he'll do in WWE as part of this storyline with Fatu and Solo Sikoa.
 Women's World Champion IYO SKY def. Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley in a Triple Threat MatchLadies and gentlemen, your best match of WrestleMania weekend. What a tremendous Triple Threat. I know that shouldn't be too surprising given the talent level here, but they really went above and beyond to deliver an outstanding opener. Every minute was action-packed and the crowd was into everything they did. Belair was my pick to win, but I had no issue with SKY retaining. Kudos to these women for kicking off the show on such a stellar note.
