Notes:
There were two INDYCAR type race cars on the stage…In the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship Match, the ending came when McDonagh accidentally hit Priest with the Money in the Bank briefcase instead of Rhodes, whom he was aiming for…In the Six-Man Tag Team Match, Carlito was the mystery opponent and replaced Joaquin Wilde, who was injured this past Friday at WWE Friday Night SmackDown during a brawl between the LWO and Lashley/The Profits…The newest member of the WWE Roster: Jade Cargill was shown arriving at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and meeting WWE Chief Content Officer (WWE COO) and WWE Hall of Famer: Paul”Triple H”Levesque…During the WWE Women’s Championship Triple-Threat Match, Bayley came to ringside despite IYO SKY telling her she didn’t need her help. The match ended when SKY hit Flair with the moonsault while Flair had Asuka in the Figure-Eight Leglock…The former punter for the Indianapolis Colts, Pat McAfee made a surprise appearance and stated it was time for WrestleMania to return to Indianapolis. He then joined Michael Cole and Corey Graves at the commentary table at ringside…During the Cena/Knight versus The Bloodline match, Heyman was shown several times updating the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion: “The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns on the match. After the match was over, the victorious duo shook hands but when Cena went to raise Knight’s arm in victory but Knight stopped him and instead he raised Cena’s arm…Declan McMahon, the son of Shane McMahon and members of the Indiana Hoosiers football team were shown in audience…During the Last Man Standing Match for the World Heavyweight Championship, Rollins and Nakamura fought all over Gainbridge Fieldhouse. At one point, the WWE Universe was chanting “We want race car!” but unfortunately the two superstars did not use a race car…The match ended after the two fought over by the stands and Rollins nails a Falcon Arrow on the challenger, through a table, and watched while the referee counted to 10 while his opponent could not get back on his feet.
