The first night of WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium delivered high drama as Cody Rhodes overcame Randy Orton to keep his title.
However, the victory was marred by a vicious 'punt kick' from Orton after the bell, forcing Rhodes into concussion protocol.
The event also saw Pat McAfee carried out on a stretcher after a high-risk spot and Bianca Belair surprising the audience with a pregnancy announcement.
