Top 5 matches from Night 2 of WrestleMania 36

For the first time ever, WrestleMania was held over two nights at the Performance Center due to the current circumstances. This decision by WWE to hold WrestleMania over two nights will definitely bring up the discussion to continue to the new format or just stay the way things were.

Just like Night One, there were some big title changes, fun wrestling matches and tons of surprises. Here are my top five matches and moments coming out of night two of WrestleMania.

#1 Firefly Fun House Match: John Cena vs. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

This was just incredible to watch as it actually wasn't a match but rather telling a story of how flawed John Cena's on-screen character is. Cena came out and was about to welcome us to WrestleMania but the video transitioned to Bray Wyatt in the Firefly Fun House. Wyatt mentioned how Cena's toughest opponent was himself as he transported Cena into the Fun House.

Early on in the match, Cena met the puppet version of Vince McMahon who asked if he has ruthless aggression. The joke here was that Cena couldn't touch Wyatt when he said he had ruthless aggression. Wyatt mocked him by singing Nikki Bella's theme, "You can see but you can't touch." Get the joke?

Another highlight was Cena coming out in his Doctor of Thuganomics gimmick. Cena did some rhymes which the puppets booed. The joke here is that Cena couldn't be a rapper so he used it to get over as a wrestler. They showed flashbacks of Bray in his Wyatt Family gimmick. They tried to explain that Cena is a man of the people but didn't give the fans what they wanted when he beat Wyatt at WrestleMania 30. They recreated the WrestleMania 30 scene but this time, Cena swung a chair at Wyatt.

As if things weren't bizarre enough, Wyatt then disguised himself as Eric Bischoff and showed Cena playing the role of Hollywood Hulk Hogan. The story here is what would've happened if Cena actually turned heel in WWE. The highlight was when the puppet of Vince yelled, "This is good s*it."

The finish came when The Fiend appeared behind Cena and placed him in the Mandible Claw. They played voice-over of Cena's promo on SmackDown, calling Wyatt an overhyped Superstar. The Fiend delivered the Sister Abigail and pinned Cena.

Fans are either going to love or really dislike this match. I enjoyed this as they made this entertaining and gave us a Cena match without him actually wrestling.

#2 NXT Women's Championship Match: Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair

The match was very physical from the start as Charlotte delivered huge chops in the corner. Rhea Ripley responded by delivering the RipTide very early on but Charlotte kicked out. Charlotte took control as she avoided a boot and draped Ripley's leg on the top rope. This is where match moved into Charlotte's favor as she targeted Ripley's leg.

Ripley refused to quit as she delivered a missile dropkick for a two count. Charlotte ducked a boot and delivered a chop block to Ripley's injured leg. Charlotte applied the Boston Crab but Ripley countered by applying an inverted Texas Cloverleaf. Charlotte blocked a Superplex as she went for her moonsault but Ripley got her boot up. Charlotte caught Ripley charging and delivered a spear for a two count.

Charlotte went for the Figure-4-Leg Lock but Ripley countered into an inside cradle for a two count. Charlotte went back to the Figure-4-Leg-Lock and then bridged into a Figure-8-Leg Lock as Ripley tapped. A very solid match as Ripley came off as a star despite the loss. Charlotte winning was good as she can bring more star presence to NXT.

#3 Last Man Standing Match: Edge vs. Randy Orton

Randy Orton was dressed up as a cameraman as he planted Edge with an RKO Outta Nowhere. Orton delivered a second RKO but Edge got up. The direction of the match was very creative as they various different parts of the Performance Center. There was a cool spot as Edge swung off a wall and delivered a diving elbow to Orton on a table in an office. They made their way backstage as Orton rammed Edge into some WWE PPV posters while taking out a camera man.

The camera kept following them as they reached the storage area where Edge climbed up some fencing as he delivered a flying elbow as Orton went crashing through a table. They then brawled on top of the NXT Production Truck where Orton delivered a Draping DDT but Edge made it up.

Orton went for a Punt Kick but Edge countered with a spear. Edge went for a second spear but Orton delivered an RKO. Orton grabbed a pair of chairs as he went for a Con-Chair-To but Edge countered by placing him in a choke. A very conflicted Edge delivered a Con-Chair-To to Orton for the win. The match went a bit long but was enjoyable as there were lots of creative spots.

#4 WWE Championship Match: Brock Lesnar vs. Drew McIntyre

Paul Heyman didn't do Brock Lesnar's ring introduction which we are usually used to hearing before a WWE Championship match. This was an all-action packed match as Lesnar took control early by delivering shoulder tackles in the corner. Drew McIntyre suddenly caught Lesnar coming off the ropes with a Claymore Kick for a close two count.

McIntyre called for a second Claymore Kick but Lesnar ducked. Lesnar took McIntyre to Suplex City as he delivered three straight release German suplex. Lesnar delivered an F5 but McIntyre kicked out at one.

Lesnar delivered two more F5 but couldn't put McIntyre away. McIntyre slipped away from another F5 and nailed Lesnar with a pair of Claymore Kicks. McIntyre delivered a sliding Claymore Kick to Lesnar to win the WWE Championship.

This match for perfect for this setting as Lesnar did an awesome job selling for McIntyre and put him over as a huge star. It's a bummer see McIntyre finally get his crowning moment with no fans. This was still a great moment for McIntyre and I'm sure once fans are allowed to attend WWE shows, they will be cheering for McIntyre as the WWE Champion.

#5 Fatal-5-Way Elimination Match for the SmackDown Women's Title: Bayley vs. Sasha Banks vs. Naomi vs. Lacey Evans vs. Tamina

There was a nice moment early as Sasha Banks, Naomi and Tamina were inside the ring as they did a fist bump dating back to their days part of Team B.A.D. Tamina broke up the friendship as she nailed Banks with a Superkick. Everyone teamed up as Bayley delivered a Macho Man Elbow, Banks connected with Frog Splash, Evans delivered a Moonsault and Noami followed up with a Split-Legged Moonsault. Everyone pinned Tamina as she was the first eliminated.

Naomi looked awesome as she delivered a Rear View to Banks and followed with a Springboard Kick to Bayley. Naomi placed Banks in a modified Anaconda Vice but Bayley made the save with a sliding knee. Banks applied the Bank Statement as Naomi tapped.

The big spot of the match came when Evans ducked as Bayley nailed Banks with a running knee. Banks got into an argument with Banks but didn't come to blows. Evans eliminated Banks after nailing her with the Women's Right. Evans delivered a Springboard Moonsault but Bayley kicked out at two. Banks returned as she delivered the Backstabber to Evans. Bayley delivered a Front DDT to Evans and retained the SmackDown Women's Title.

This was great as Bayley retained her title but we got a few cracks in her friendship with Bank which could possibly lead to match at SummerSlam.
