'The American Nightmare' Cody Rhodes has been crowned the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship after he pinned 'The Tribal Chief' Roman Reigns at the main event of WrestleMania Night Two. Despite continuous interferences from The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso and The Rock, Rhodes overcame all the odds, while also having some backup, and pinned Reigns to end his historic Undisputed Universal title reign at the Lincoln Financial Field. Cody had to pull off multiple Cross Rhodes to keep Roman Reigns down for the one, two, three.

The match opened with just the champion and the challenger, but it eventually filled up as the Bloodline interfered to lay out Rhodes. But he kicked out from all the pinfall attempts. To even the odds, big surprises were revealed as John Cena came out to aid Cody as he took out Solo Sikoa. Seth Rollins also came out in his Shield gear and music but was laid out by Reigns before he could do something. When The Rock interfered, the Deadman came out of the dark as The Undertaker took The Final Boss out with a chokeslam.
