5 Things you should expect for Night 2 of WrestleMania 36 after Night 1

Let him in, John.
Let him in, John.

We are at the halfway stage of the most unique WrestleMania of all time and it has been pretty good. There were some great matches, a couple of questionable booking decisions and of course, that brilliant Boneyard match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles.

If you want to know which other matches stood out on Night 1 of WrestleMania 36, head over here.

Anyway, with Night 1 behind us, we now have a much clearer vision of what to expect for the remainder of the weekend. Night 2 has a stacked line-up, with Drew McIntyre vs Brock Lesnar, Edge vs Randy Orton and John Cena vs The Fiend sticking out as the top three matches.

The excitement levels for tomorrow's broadcast will surely be higher than those for the first night of this year's Show of Shows. But how good will it actually be?

With reference to the events of Night 1, here are five things you should expect for Night 2 of WrestleMania 36.


#5 More 24/7 Championship shenanigans

Gronk may become the 24/7 Champion.
Gronk may become the 24/7 Champion.

The host of WrestleMania, Rob Gronkowski, opened the main show of Night 1 along with his friend, Mojo Rawley. It's fair to say that they were, well, hyped. But later in the show, there was some tension between the pair when R-Truth showed up on the balcony of the Performance Center, with his 24/7 Championship.

Both Gronkowski and Rawley attempted to pin Truth for the title, with the former NXT man being successful and regaining the 24/7 Title. This upset the Gronk, so expect some retaliation from the host of 'Mania on Night 2.

The ex-NFL star will probably sneak up on Rawley to win the belt before their bickering would ultimately lead to R-Truth coming back and escaping WrestleMania with his title once again. It would provide some comic relief on a show stacked with personal rivalries.

#4 A great undercard

Night 1 proved that every match on the show could deliver.

Going into this weekend, it seemed like a lot of the matches out of the 16 that were scheduled would flop without a live crowd. But on Night 1, except for maybe Goldberg vs Braun Strowman, which lasted two minutes, every match was at least decent.

This includes Elias vs King Corbin, which had a lot more aggression to it than expected. Other matches like the Women's Tag Title match exceeded expectations. With a similar layout, the undercard of Night 2 could follow suit.

Aleister Black vs Bobby Lashley has had zero build, but it is possible that the two have a 12-minute exhibition that blows everyone's minds. They are certainly capable of it.

But the one match on the Night 2 undercard which could shine brightest is Otis vs Dolph Ziggler. The two have had one of the most interesting long-term feuds in recent SmackDown history and the reveal on Friday could amp up the drama in this match.

#3 At least one huge Women's Title change

This could be a huge shocker.
This could be a huge shocker.

The two women's matches on Night 1 saw Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship in the opener. We also saw Becky Lynch retaining her RAW Women's Championship in a physical contest with Shayna Baszler.

While the tag titles did change hands, one would assume that at least one of the big women's championships would change hands at WrestleMania. On Night 2, the SmackDown and NXT Women's Titles are being defended.

Bayley will face four opponents, including Sasha Banks, in an elimination match for her SmackDown Women's Championship. The story between the two best friends could come to a head at 'Mania, with a possibility that the Legit Boss wins the title.

However, the more intriguing prospect is the NXT Women's Championship match between Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair. While on first viewing Ripley seems like the clear winner, there is a lot of potential in Charlotte becoming the NXT Women's Champion.

And who can forget, she did end Asuka's streak two years ago at WrestleMania. It wouldn't be very wise to bet against the Queen in a scenario like this.

#2 Edge and Randy Orton go all out

This has been the best story of the WrestleMania season.

It can be said without a doubt that the best story leading up to this year's WrestleMania has been between Edge and Randy Orton. It has had emotion, betrayal, brutality, and intensity so far. And with the Last Man Standing stipulation, these two could go all over the Performance Center.

Looking at the success of the Boneyard Match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles, Edge and Orton may receive a similar cinematic treatment. That would make the match feel even more epic if it doesn't already. But even if it is filmed normally, chances are high that the two legends will deliver.

In a recent interview with Kenny McIntosh of Inside The Ropes, Edge said that he and Randy Orton put their heart and soul into the match and that it will be an "ugly, dirty and gritty fight".

This should give the WWE Universe hope that this match will live up to the ridiculously high expectations that everyone has for it. The only negative would be that Edge won't get any pop for his big singles return at WrestleMania.

#1 The Firefly Fun House Match steals the show

The Boneyard match was great, but this could be better.
The Boneyard match was great, but this could be better.

If Randy Orton vs Edge hasn't already done it, John Cena's visit to Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House could steal the show on Night 2 of WrestleMania. In fact, it could steal the entire weekend. The Undertaker vs AJ Styles main event Boneyard match was brilliantly produced and excelled in execution.

So with Bray Wyatt's genius mind going to work on a match concept inside his kayfabe house, there could be some very, very good ideas. Also, John Cena is a featured Hollywood actor now, which would only add to the cinematic presentation that the match will likely be.

Not only the Boneyard match, but the end of this week's SmackDown has also given hope that WWE will play with magic and create a complex situation involving both, Bray Wyatt and The Fiend. That could be the thing that makes the Firefly Fun House match epic.

Also, Cena having extended interactions with the puppets from the Fun House could be golden. The amount of thought, care, and planning that may have gone into this could single-handedly make "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt the hottest star in WWE once again.

Hopefully, the Firefly Fun House match is as good as the Boneyard match, if not better. It is a real possibility that this could be a cinematic experience that is completely out of this world. But for now, we can only wait and speculate.
