WrestleMania 38 takeaways: Johnny Knoxville and 'Jackass' crew ... (USA TODAY)

Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns finally meet in a winner-take-all match, while Pat McAfee and Johnny Knoxville make their WrestleMania debuts.

With the women's tag team titles on the line, all four teams involved hit a lot of signature moves with a tag-team twist and the momentum of the match swung all sorts of ways. Styles and Edge had one of the most technical matches of the two nights, with tons of submission moves and a clean pace throughout. He also said what happened meant the end of his wrestling career. There were near falls throughout the match, but the fan favorite duo of the veteran Orton and partner Riddle put on a great ending. To say the match between Johnny Knoxville and Sami Zayn was weird is an understatement. The match was full of chaos with little wrestling actually done. With the help of his "Jackass" costars, Knoxville deployed the giant mouse trap against Zayn before pinning him for victory. Butch attacked Woods afterwards, but the entire thing was underwhelming, and the match proved not to be needed at all. Austin got McAfee back into the ring to celebrate and do something the radio host always wanted to do. The crowd couldn't believe McMahon got in the ring, but the match was plagued by interference from Theory, allowing McMahon to punt a football into McAfee and easily getting the pin. He showed he has trained for this moment, delivering suplexes, backflips off the top rope and having the energy a WWE face needs. Austin clearly wasn't done after beating Kevin Owens last night, as he emerged into the ring and got Theory out.

Reigns bested Brock Lesnar in the main event on Sunday night for his first win over the now former champion at WrestleMania.

Reigns hit Lesnar with a low blow and Heyman gave him the universal championship, which Reigns used to hit Lesnar and score a two count. McAfee hit one of his trademark spots, landing on his feet on a backflip off the top rope before leaping back to the top rope and hitting Theory with a superplex. Lesnar went for another F-5 only for Reigns to slide out, shoving Lesnar into the ropes and allowing Reigns to hit one final spear for the finish. The finish was pretty sudden and the match was a bit lacking in the overall drama compared to previous Reigns and Lesnar contests. After the match, McAfee taunted McMahon, leading McMahon to take off his jacket and his shirt, striping to a tanktop and bringing a referee to the ring. Lashley then hit a spear to the back and another spear from the front to score the pin. Austin Theory: McAfee got off to a hot start with spinning elbows and ranas to keep Theory on the defensive. Edge: Edge took a smug approach to the start of the match, disrespecting Styles before Styles hit a dropkick and several arm drags to get off to a hot start. Zayn used a baking sheet and a crutch to hit Knoxville across the back before pulling out a table from under the ring. Riddle took out Ford with a springboard RKO as Ford was on the top rope and Orton hit Gable with an RKO of his own as Gable came off the top rope, scoring the win. Styles drove Edge into the ring apron with a superplex, nearly resulting in a double count out but Styles hit a springboard 450 when Edge got back in the ring, resulting in a near fall. In the main event, WWE champion Brock Lesnar clashed with Roman Reigns in a bout to unify WWE's top two championships.

Reigns became both WWE and Universal champion, solidifying his spot as one of the industry's top performers.

Frustrations to the night included the decision to have Sheamus and Ridge Holland defeat The New Day. Initially slated to take place on Saturday night, this was rushed, clocking in at just over seven minutes. An unexpected pin fall was Bobby Lashley pinning Omos. An interesting dynamic was at play in the match—the 7’3” Omos has seized the role as WWE’s unstoppable giant and there are obviously big plans for him, but Lashley is still a headline act for the company. Considering the difficulty involved in building a new babyface star, this was a great first step for Steveson. This marked Reigns’s sixth time in the main event of WrestleMania, with five for Lesnar. It was also their third time working a WrestleMania main event together. Chad Gable has finally found a place to thrive in WWE with his current character, and no one hits a better Northern Lights suplex. Austin celebrated in the ring with his Broken Skull IPAs, stunning McAfee in a picturesque manner to close out the scene. Featuring RK-Bro, The Street Profits and Alpha Academy, the opening match was a true showcase. The aftermath was a page out of WWE history, as Vince McMahon challenged McAfee to a match. Edge and Priest then revealed their alliance after the match, which has plenty of potential. With Theory playing the role of both Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco, McMahon pinned McAfee courtesy of a score of outside interference. He welcomed the crowd to WrestleMania, then left the ring—where a pair of his boots were left behind, signifying the end of his career. The Undertaker was given another sendoff, symbolizing the end of an era.

WWE WrestleMania 38 Night 2 Results: Roman Reigns Beats Brock ... (Newsweek)

Roman Reigns is now recognized as the undisputed champion of WWE following his victory in the ring during WrestleMania 38.

Also known as "Mad Dog", he is the current and longest-reigning WWE Universal Champion in his second reign, as well as the current WWE Champion in his fourth reign—making him a double world champion. His WWE profile presents the wrestling star as the ultimate opponent, stating: "Glory to The Conqueror, The Beast Incarnate, The Anomaly or whatever godlike title you choose to bestow upon Brock Lesnar. Surely, this creature fits each and every one of them. The site adds: "Whether it was finishing opposing teams off as the enforcer of The Shield or steadily grinding his way toward the WWE Championship as a solo competitor, Reigns has made a lasting impression on anyone who's come into contact with him." The stakes had never been higher, as both the WWE and Universal Championships were for the taking in a "Winner Takes All" match. So with a brace of world titles and professional wrestling reputations in jeopardy, tensions were running high ahead of the headline fight. WrestleMania on Sunday night saw two legends of the wrestling world take to the ring in front of a large crowd in Dallas, Texas.

When the match was over, Edge and Priest stood in the ring together, apparently beginning to form the heel faction that had been rumored. Riddle hit a springboard RKO on Montez Ford from the top rope and Orton followed that up by turning Chad Gable’s leap from the top into a catch RKO and a pin. His WrestleMania entrance included him coming up in a black chair surrounded by fire and black-and-purple ring gear that appeared to be a nod to The Undertaker. There was a bowling ball, a giant hand that slapped Zayn (who also got slammed by Wee Man) on the outside, a nut-shot machine with a boot on it and a giant mousetrap (that didn’t work properly). Knoxville, who did take an exploder suplex through a table and hit a tornado DDT, eventually got the mousetrap to close and trap Zayn for the pin. The boss, who got his first WrestleMania win in his first match since 2012, kicked a football into McAfee’s ribs. Edge recently turned heel, changing his music, look and demeanor to a more Brood-like presentation. The Universal champion got to the ropes, but Lesnar continued to move Reigns’ arm up and down while still in the hold. McMahon’s may have been the most awkward in history as he just crumpled to the ground. He then got too cocky and egged on Mr. McMahon, who is in incredible shape, into a fight. Then Theory was a footnote in the Austin-McMahon story — through he did an incredible pop-up sell job on a Stunner from the Texas Rattlesnake. One thing Theory has going for him is he has a high level of heat that was palpable from the crowd. His moment of ascending to undisputed champion in WWE will not be one of them — but an injury could be partly to blame. Here are the highlights from Night 2 of WrestleMania 2022 that featured solid matches, great celebrity outings and a Mr. McMahon-sized touch of nostalgia:
