AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon gets discussed next, focusing on the idea that Shane has all this crazy stuff, but AJ is one of the best wrestlers in the world. Seth Rollins vs. HHH is next, and it gets a video package. Crying shame they picked the worst song off the new Metallica record for it, though. Panel discussion follows.

We go back to the panel for more Network salesmanship. Paul Heyman in the Social Media Lounge is up soon, but first we go to Sam Roberts in the crowd again.
Paul E is in the lounge and he insists on doing his own introduction. The first question is about how many suplexes Goldberg will take, and Paul gives his stock answer about however many it takes before discussing the schools of thought on the match. He's asked about future clients, and he offers his services to Charly and Maria right here, pitching a show for them.
Last question is what a loss for Brock would mean for his future, and Heyman says it would mean that someone needs to wake Brock up from a bad dream, because there's no way Brock loses in reality. The panel discusses the match a bit and make their predictions. Next match on the discussion docket is also our next preshow match, the Intercontinental Championship match.
Toss to Peter Rosenberg in the crowd for a moment before the match.

The main show begins with another wide show and then Tinashe singing America the Beautiful.
We then get a intro video built around the whole rollercoaster theme.

They head down the ramp as Michael Cole struggles to say "Moogle" and "Chocobo" describing their allegedly Final Fantasy themed outfits. Xavier Woods plays the victory fanfare when they get to the ring, and Kofi Kingston does indeed have a moogle on his shoulder.
Woods says they're excited to be here and know WWE were looking at a lot of different hosts, which is a setup for the owl gimmick. Xavier and Kofi put over the concept of pro wrestling. E says something about pulling levers and the other two chastise him for not having class, so he rephrases. New! Day rocks!, etc., and we move on to the video package for our first match.

Cena gets on the mic and says this is what Nikki wanted over a year ago, when she broke her neck-- she wanted to come back and get a WrestleMania moment. He's very proud of her, and before surgery she said there'd be a time where she'd be a little loopy and she'd give him an honest answer but wouldn't remember what they talked about. And for a year and a half, she asked him what they spoke about, and he promised he'd tell her when the time was right.
The time is right, and right as they were wheeling her into the OR, she was glassy, in and out, and at the last second he said "Stop" and asked if she could hear him. She said yes, and he said he only had one question, that she knew one day he was gonna marry her. She said yes, and he just needs her to say yes one more time.
HE'S TAKING A KNEE! HE HAS THE RING! HE POPS THE QUESTION, FULL SHOOT NAME AND EVERYTHING! THEY KISS AND EMBRACE A GOOD LONG MOMENT AND KISS AGAIN AND HE SLIDES THE RING ON HER FINGER! MORE KISSING! HE RAISES HER HAND AND THEY GO BACK TO IT!

Hunter goes to the corner and drags Seth with him, he's thinking Pepsi Plunge but Rollins counters with a back body drop.

Roman Reigns vs. the Undertaker (No Holds Barred Match)
Roman right in with a punch but Taker blocks and takes him in the corner and pummels him before throwing him outside and declaring this to be his yard. More rights when Reigns comes back in and again he throws him out, and again this is still his yard. Roman takes his time this time, going around to the far side and snapping Taker's neck over the top rope, but he runs into a right!
Big Dog finally lands one, two, and he clotheslines the Undertaker out of the ring! Picks the leg and pulls him out, headbutt connects, he whips Roman into the steps! Back in the ring, another right, Roman staggered but he reverses a whip and lands a Samoan drop on the Deadman! A boot follows, a headbutt of his own wipes Taker out into the ropes and he heads outside again.
A Tenryu jab catches Reigns flush and he follows with a "vile headbutt", to quote JR. He gets Roman on his shoulders but the Big Dog slips out and sends him into the ringpost. Drive-By connects, he sends Undertaker back in the ring and climbs in after him. The Deadman dazed and backing off, Reigns hammers him with punches and the big slicing right but Taker gets back into it and gives as good as he gets, punch for punch.
Whip, Roman sees the back body drop coming and kicks him one but it just wakes Undertaker up and he forces the Big Dog in the corner for more punches and headbutts. Across the ring, charging lariat, Snake Eyes and a big boot! He drops the leg for two and calls for the chokeslam but Reigns rolls outside. Trying for another Drive-By but Taker swats him out of mid-air with a punch and dismantles the announce table.
He drags the Big Dog to the German table and slams his face into it before throwing another headbutt but Roman connects with a Drive-By using the table! Going for a Superman Punch but Taker has the goozle, chokeslam into the German table but it doesn't break! The Deadman disassembles another table and climbs up on it, meeting Roman on the English desk... SPEAR THROUGH THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Both men out, Reigns recovers first and heads back to the ring for a breather. THE UNDERTAKER SITS UP! He gets back in the ring and Roman is on him with knee drops and stomps in the corner. The Deadman climbs to his feet and the Big Dog lays the corner lariats in on him before climbing up for mounted punches, Taker lifts him up... LAST RIDE! NOT ENOUGH!
Undertaker gets a chair and heads back to the ring. Roman takes it from him but gets leveled with a boot and the Deadman reclaims it. Punishing shot to the kidneys with the point of the chair, followed by waffling him across the back, beckoning him up and clobbering him again, bending the chair around his back. Reigns heads outside again but goes right back in, forcing Taker to waste movement and catching him with a Superman Punch!
Taker staggered, a second Superman Punch, but the the third is met with a goozle... CHOKESLAM ON THE CHAIR! REIGNS KICKS OUT! Drawing the Big Dog up, he scoops him over... TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! THE HANDS ARE FOLDED! ROMAN KICKS OUT! Taker draws his pants up and goes back to work, picking Reigns up by the vest and scooping him again, but the Big Dog reverses, trying to get him up for one of his own.
A few tries, but the Deadman is blocking him and so he changes strategies, hitting the Superman Punch again! Lying in wait, calling for the spear... IT CONNECTS! BUT WHEN HE GOES FOR THE COVER, TAKER CATCHES HIM IN HELL'S GATE! ROMAN GETS THE ROPES! Both men out on the mat, struggling, Undertaker crawling for the chair to act as equalizer but Reigns steps on it, keeping it from him!
He picks it up and waffles Taker across the back! The point into his gut! Another across his back! Again and again! The Deadman drawing himself up as the crowd chants for him, Roman staring on, lying in wait, another spear... NOT ENOUGH! Taker dragging himself up again, Roman calls for the spear... AGAIN THE DEADMAN KICKS OUT! Undertaker trying to get back up as Reigns wonders what it'll take, he calls for and connects with the Superman Punch!
Undertaker sits up but he can't get straight! Reigns' expression changes, he stands straight and considers the man before him. Taker crawling towards the ropes, straightening himself up, climbing up Roman but the Big Dog shoves him away. Taker looks up at him and says he has to end this, Roman comes off the ropes with a big slicing right hand, another, criss cross for momentum...
Roman Reigns wins by pinfall with a spear.
Roman heads up the ramp, leaving the Deadman lying in the center of the ring. Fireworks fill the skies above the arena.
The camera focuses on the Undertaker again, still lying in the center of the ring as the crowd chants a "Thank you" for him. He sputters but manages to sit up.
After a recap of the match, we cut back to the ring, where Taker has put his entrance gear back on. He takes the crowd in for a moment as his music plays and the arena is bathed in blue light. He takes a breath and heads to the ropes before turning around again and moving to step out on the far side, but he reconsiders.
He takes his gloves off and drops them in the center of the ring, and then the coat follows, folding it up carefully to lay it to rest atop the gloves. And finally, his hat, placing it respectfully atop the pile. Now, he leaves the ring, possibly for the last time, and heads around to the crowd to see his wife before heading back up the ramp, pausing about halfway to take it all in one more time and raise his fist to call the lightning before descending into the mist.
That's the show, folks.
