WrestleMania 37 is officially over, and Night One ended with one of the greatest main events in recent memory.
Looking back at it, the first night has been considered superior by the fans. But that doesn't mean that Night Two was necessarily bad.
There were multiple title changes on the night, and WrestleMania season concluded with a great Universal Championship match. While some of the decisions were understandably criticized, there was a lot more good than bad.
As usual, we look at the best and worst of WrestleMania 37:
#4. Best: The losing Champions looking good in defeat at WrestleMania
There were a few title changes on WrestleMania 37 Night Two. The dethroned stars of the night included United States Champion Riddle, Intercontinental Champion Big E, and RAW Women's Champion Asuka.
All three Champions looked great in defeat before the changing of the guard. For Riddle, it was his big WrestleMania debut. Despite losing to Sheamus, The Original Bro had a good showing, and we can expect him to continue his feud with The Celtic Warrior.
For Big E, losing the Intercontinental Title to Apollo Crews at WrestleMania might be a way for him to take a step up the card on SmackDown. To add to it, Big E was protected after Dabba Kato's interference.
Asuka looked great in defeat as well. She has been dominating the RAW Women's Championship scene for almost all of the last 11 months, and Rhea Ripley took the torch from her hand and will be looking to run with it.
Asuka has proved to be one of the most useful superstars for WWE in the pandemic era. She's a Grand Slam Champion and has accomplished everything, with only a WrestleMania main event left to complete a perfect WWE career.
Riddle and Big E may have lost, but these are two superstars who will be expected to receive a major push going forward.
#3 Worst: The Women's Tag Team Title picture is set to stagnate after WrestleMania
Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler enjoyed more TV time than anybody on the WWE roster this WrestleMania season. It helps that they're the only superstars who get the right to freely jump between RAW and SmackDown, but the culmination of everything was disappointing.
Natalya and Tamina won the Tag Team Turmoil match on Night One of WrestleMania and became the No.1 Contenders for the Women's Tag Team Titles.
It wasn't any surprise that the Title match wasn't an instant classic, but the fact that Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler retained the Titles means that the division will now be stagnant.
There are a few challengers like The Riott Squad who could emerge, but right now, it's hard to see anyone legitimately challenging Baszler and Jax post-WrestleMania.
It sums up WWE's perception and treatment of the Women's Tag Team division. Baszler & Jax are dominant Champions, but a title change would have been better, especially since Tamina hasn't had a taste of gold in WWE just yet.
#3 Best: Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn put on a classic at WrestleMania 37
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn had a great match at WrestleMania 37, and it will likely go down as one of the five best matches in the two-day event. Logan Paul got quite the reaction while sitting at ringside, and he had to witness Sami Zayn lose to Kevin Owens clean.
While it was an in-ring masterclass, the match lacked the storytelling aspect which both men normally excel at, especially with each other.
Ultimately, the payoff was Kevin Owens winning, but there seemed to be no conclusion about the conspiracy theory storyline.
Logan Paul, on the other hand, did well in his role. He raised Kevin Owens' hand in victory, and while trying to be friendly with him, he received a stunner that popped the crowd.
Logan Paul sold the stunner well, too. Apart from the lack of storytelling and payoff, this was one of the highlights of WrestleMania 37 Night Two.
Both men will hopefully face off at WrestleMania in a year or two and next time, it should be with a World Title on the line.
#2 Worst: The opening match at WrestleMania Night Two
There were and still are a lot of questions regarding the opening match at WrestleMania 37 Night Two. The Fiend vs Randy Orton match, which had a four-month build, concluded in less than six minutes.
It was a back-and-forth battle, with The Fiend on the verge of victory. However, Alexa Bliss emerged with that black liquid pouring on her face, sitting on top of what looked to be her throne.
The distraction allowed Randy Orton to hit a RKO on The Fiend and win. He quickly exited, and after that, a tense staredown was seen between Alexa Bliss and The Fiend before they disappeared and the crowd booed them.
It was a poor opening match, and WWE seemed to be trying too hard to have an unpredictable finish. The whole feud seemed pointless, though it appears that Alexa Bliss has been the one in control all this time.
All we can hope is that we get a logical explanation for it on the RAW after WrestleMania 37.
#2 Best: Bayley as the unofficial WrestleMania 37 host
Bayley may not have had a spot on the WrestleMania 37 card, but she played a better host than the actual ones, Titus O'Neil and Hulk Hogan. The promos that O'Neil and Hogan did together were painful to watch, as it was clear that they had no chemistry.
Bayley, on the other hand, got over quickly despite being an obnoxious heel. She felt like the unofficial host of WrestleMania, and although The Bella Twins came to knock her out, they were booed for it.
Even without being on the card, Bayley made sure that she is as relevant as ever.
#1 Worst: The decision to have a lot of heels win
While they weren't the worst decisions at WrestleMania, nor were there any undeserving winners per se, WWE went with the heels on Night Two.
The villains won four out of the secen matches, and Rhea Ripley can hardly be counted as a babyface since she isn't fully established in terms of her character on RAW.
Even Randy Orton is on a fine line where he isn't a definitive babyface. Either way, it was a heel-dominant night, which is unusual for WrestleMania.
#1 Best: The WrestleMania main event
The best match on the WrestleMania 37 card was the main event. While Night One may have had better quality matches and results overall, none of them were at the level of the Universal Title main event.
Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, and Edge all justified their spot on the card and they delivered in a big way. This was arguably the best main event of WrestleMania that we've seen since 2014 or 2015.
It was a display of violence from all three men, and each superstar had to do the best they could to make sure that they could secure the pinfall or submission.
While Roman Reigns was close to getting submitted in a possibly controversial finish, he ended up with the win.
To add salt to the wound, he pinned both men in what was a brilliantly executed finish.
Roman Reigns always used to walk into WrestleMania as the World Title challenger, and in his fifth main event, he walked in as the defending Champion. He retained, and his dominant Universal Title run will continue.
Who can stop the run that Roman Reigns is on? We may take months to find out.
