WWE WrestleMania Night 1 Results For April 2, 2022

Welcome to the Ringside News live results coverage of WWE WrestleMania Night 1 for April 2nd, 2022.

Here it is folks, the showcase of the immortals has arrived! Night 1 of WrestleMania is upon us and it has all the makings of a memorable night. Of course, the main event is already set to be the Kevin Owens Show with his special guest: Stone Cold Steve Austin. It’s unclear how this will play out as it’s been booked a pseudo-match, but suffice to say it’s going to be one Hell of a pop when the glass shatters somewhere down in Texas.

Seth Rollins still doesn’t know his opponent for tonight’s show, although we’re 99.9% sure it’s the returning Cody Rhodes and that could be a very cool moment. In the tag team realm, The Miz is joined by Logan Paul to face the Mysterio’s; The New Day face Sheamus & Ridge Holland; and The Uso’s put their titles on the line against Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs. On the women’s side of things, Charlotte Flair faces Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women’s Championship and Becky Lynch battles Bianca Belair for the RAW Women’s Championship.

Of course, we can’t forget Drew McIntyre Vs. Happy Corbin. And that’s the run-down for WrestleMania Night 1. The show begins at 7PM EST and we’ll have live coverage right here for the whole event. So sit back, grab some food, and enjoy the show!

Kick-Off Show

Kayla Braxton, JBL, Kevin Patrick, Booker T, and Peter Rosenberg are outside the AT&T stadium for the WrestleMania Kick-Off Show. They’re all excited and JBL says he’s so hyped he may beat the Hell out of Peter Rosenberg.

The panel discuss Bianca Belair Vs. Becky Lynch. JBL says we have two of the best Superstars of all-time, in their primes, and they despise each other. That’s what WrestleMania is all about. Booker T says Becky believes she is invincible right now and he likes that. Bianca will have to learn how to switch gears, get dirty and play Becky’s games. Rosenberg says she did just that when she cut Becky’s hair. Belair needs this to avenge her loss at SummerSlam, but Becky has beat everyone.

We see the video package of Kevin Owens goading Stone Cold Steve Austin. The panel talk about their excitement to see Stone Cold. Rosenberg says Austin is in the shape of his life and he’s ready. JBL says he and Booker are from Texas and they know there’s a few things you do not mess with, and one of them is the Texas Rattlesnake. Booker says this will be the shucky-ducky-quack-quack moment of the night. Yesterday at Axxess Owens destroyed lots of Steve Austin merch.

Seth Rollins is with Maria Menounos backstage. He’s in a great mood and says him and the world want to know who his opponent is. Will it be a legend like The Rock or Hulk Hogan? Maybe someone from NXT, like a Carmelo Hayes or Bron Breakker? Or maybe the Chairman himself is going to suit-up tonight for one last match. Regardless, tonight is about him and not his opponent.

We see some highlights of the Hall of Fame ceremony from last night. Next, some entrepreneur, Josh Richards, joins the panel and talks about being a fan. They run down the card for Night 2 of WrestleMania, which features Brock Lesnar Vs. Roman Reigns, Johnny Knoxville Vs. Sami Zayn, Austin Theory Vs. Pat McAfee, Edge Vs. AJ Styles, and more.

Jerry Lawler and Jake Paul join to discuss the Mysterio’s Vs. The Miz and Jake’s brother, Logan Paul. Jake says his brother is about to take out Rey Mysterio, then the fans won’t be able to boo. He says Rey is old and washed-up. He says Logan is built for nights like this and hasn’t been taking it lightly. Rosenberg says the Paul’s earn the boos they get but they also work for everything they get. Booker reminds Jake that Rey is an icon but The King says Miz could beat Rey and Dominik by himself. Jake says he’ll knock-out anyone that boos his brother.

Maria Menounos interviews Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, who say they’re about to tear apart “Butch, botch and bitch”. Kofi says he’s a former WWE Champion, Woods is King of the Ring, and they’re the longest-reigning Tag Team Champions of all time, and they won’t hesitate to put their boots to asses. The panel say The New Day’s hubris could be a problem for them tonight. The King is rooting for Sheamus and Ridge.

We see a video package for Drew McIntyre Vs. Happy Corbin. Booker T says Corbin made this very personal last night and you can’t talk about another man’s mother. They say Madcap Moss won the Andre The Giant Battle Royal, and wonder if he’d be better off without Corbin. Moss joins the panel and says Happy will remain undefeated tonight. Moss says Corbin is the new Mr. WrestleMania. Moss says Drew will need an act of God and the only move that can save him is the “pray-more”. Moss makes some more jokes and Booker and Lawler love it.

The panel talk Ronda Rousey Vs. Charlotte Flair. Rosenberg says Flair thinks she has something to prove and she resents the conversation always being on Ronda. They debate if Ronda’s absence will be an advantage or a disadvantage for her. They move on to Stone Cold and Kevin Owens once more and all of them agree Austin is going to open a can of whoopass on KO. And that’s it for the two-hour Kick-Off Show.

He says we all know he’s said a lot of rotten things about Texas and Steve Austin, and he reiterates them as the fans chant “what?”. Owens says he may have gone too far and he wonders if he should apologize.

So he wants to sincerely apologize to every single Texan… for telling the truth about the pathetic state of Texas. It’s even worse than he remembers. He says he gets the feeling his fans are getting eager to see his guest, but he’ll do that when he’s ready. His guest tonight is the worst role model in the history of WWE, a man he used to look up to. He’s going to look at him tonight and tell him how much he sucks, and he won’t do a damn thing about it. Because he knows if he doesn’t show him the proper respect he will hit him with a Stunner and pour beer over his stupid bald head. Owens says he’s not quite done yet but that’s when the glass shatters!

Austin calls him a “stupid son of a bitch” in the way only he can.

Owens says he doesn’t see what’s so great about it: it’s hot all year round, the land is flat and uninspiring. Not like Canada. And the people wear dumb hats and stupid belt buckles. You can tell which fans are Texans by how dumb they look. But it’s fine, they can move anywhere. He feels for Austin because if he had to grow up in Texas whe he could have just moved to Mexico. Austin says in five seconds Owens is going to have 75,000 people calling him an “asshole”. Owens tells him not to be a stereotypical, crude Texan, he could be more like him: a good mannered Canadian.

Look, he lied to Austin. He didn’t want him to come out here tonight to just be on his show and talk. He doesn’t want to talk at all. He want to fight. In fact, he wants a match. He knows it’s been nineteen years and Austin’s knees, neck, and back were screwed back then. But other than that he’s fine, so what’s the excuse? He wants a no-holds barred match right now. Austin stares at him and Owens says Steve knows he can’t beat the “big beautfiul bastard KO”. And he’d be right. So if he can’t fight, get the Hell out of here and go back to his stupid little ranch.

The fans chant for Austin and he looks contemplative. Austin says he had his first-ever match in Dallas, Texas. He could have his last-ever match, right here in Dallas. He asks the fans if they want to see it and they give a resounding “HELL YEAH!” Austin asks for a referee. A referee comse running down and the fans chant “holy shit”. It’s on.
