LA Knight

Summary

This one kicked off WrestleMania 42 with all the chaos you’d expect when you mix legit tag teams with internet wildcards. The Usos wasted no time firing off superkicks early, isolating The Vision and trying to keep IShowSpeed from getting comfortable. Speed had a quick moment where he slammed LA Knight, but immediately bailed when Knight popped back up like nothing happened. From there, the match settled into a pretty standard rhythm—Jimmy and Jey controlling stretches while Logan Paul and Austin Theory snuck in momentum shifts whenever things got too clean. Speed’s biggest involvement came when things started getting messy. He accidentally collided with Knight during a scramble, which felt like the turning point where everything unraveled for his team. Knight didn’t waste time making them pay—he launched Theory into Speed, then dropped Theory with the BFT to seal the deal. Clean, quick, and honestly a little abrupt for a Mania match. Post-match is where things actually got interesting. Logan Paul snapped on Speed, laid him out, and tried to turn him into a human highlight reel through the announce table. The Usos and Knight stepped in, flipped the script, and suddenly Speed’s back on offense. He climbs up top and hits a wild splash through the table on Paul—his big redemption moment after being mostly along for the ride during the match itself. End result: Usos and Knight get the win, Speed gets the viral clip, and the match itself lands somewhere between “fun idea” and “that felt like it could’ve been longer.”

Summary

This one got moving fast and never really slowed down, which honestly covered up some of the sloppiness that crept in once all six guys started rotating in and out. The Usos handled the early structure, isolating one of The MFTs and working quick tags while LA Knight waited for his moment. The MFTs turned it around mid-match by cutting the ring in half on Jimmy, keeping him grounded with quick tags and cheap shots to prevent the tag. Jey finally got in and cleared space, which is when everything broke down into the expected six-man chaos—superkicks flying, bodies spilling to the outside, and the ref losing all control. The finish came once things reset just enough for Knight to get the spotlight. After The Usos neutralized the other two members on the outside with a double superkick that sent them crashing to the floor, Knight caught the legal man trying to sneak back in. He shut it down with a kick to the midsection and dropped him clean with the BFT in the center of the ring. No overcomplication, no interference—just Knight hitting his move and ending it. It was the kind of finish that made sense: once the ring cleared out, The MFTs didn’t have a backup plan, and Knight took advantage immediately.

Summary

iShowSpeed ran into The Vision backstage and reluctantly escorted them to the ring, becoming an important sub-plot of this one. Logan Paul shoved Speed into LA Knight at one point, which drew the ire of Knight. This led to Knight getting distracted by Speed and Logan later and Theory was able to win via the surprise roll up (and some tight holding). The real story was the aftermath. Knight went to battle with The Vision and the Usos came to his aide. We ended with a promo where Knight asked Pearce for a 6-man tag match at Mania. And that match was confirmed!

Summary

kicked off with Cody Rhodes and Je’Von Evans starting things inside the unforgiving steel structure. Early on, Trick Williams’ entrance added chaos as he immediately targeted both men with hard strikes and threw them around the ring, showcasing his speed and aggression. When Logan Paul entered next, he became the early focal point — his opponents ganged up and hurled him through a pod before scrambling back into the fray. As the match accelerated with LA Knight’s arrival, the competition spilled to the top of the pods and the unforgiving walls of the Chamber. Knight delivered his signature BFT on Williams from the top of a pod, electrifying the crowd, while Orton — the final entrant — methodically cut through the field with cold-blooded precision once his pod opened. Throughout the bout, bodies were smashed into the steel, with big moves and near-eliminations keeping the tempo high. Alliances of convenience formed briefly — only to break apart — and every competitor scored some momentum with impactful offense. Despite spirited offense from Rhodes and Knight, Orton used his veteran instincts to time his counters perfectly, delivering multiple RKOs “outta nowhere” at key moments inside the structure. In the final stretch, Orton withstood a barrage of offense, fought off multiple opponents at once, and found openings to hit decisive strikes. When it was down to the wire, his calculated aggression paid off: he capitalized on a wear-down sequence to hit a crushing RKO on his final opponent, pinning him inside the steel and becoming the last Superstar standing in the match. With that win, Orton punched his ticket to face the Undisputed WWE Champion at WrestleMania 42, continuing his chase for a historic 15th world title.

Summary

In the opening match, The Vision defeated LA Knight & The Usos when Bronson Reed hit his Tsunami finisher for the pin. The contest was hard-hitting, with plenty of back-and-forth spots and near falls before Reed cleaned house. Post-match chaos ensued when a mysterious masked man attacked Logan Paul at ringside, adding intrigue to an already volatile rivalry.
