Rollins also got a near-fall after executing a perfect Sit-Out Powerbomb. Paul hit Rollins in the jaw - seemingly injuring his right hand- and nearly got the pin, but Rollins kicked out at the last second. The Architect then attempted a Pedigree, but Logan countered, and that led to back-to-back reversals. Rollins, reminding us he should be in the main event, hit three consecutive suicide dives on Logan outside of the ring. Paul leapt to the top rope and hit a moonsault that ultimately didn’t connect. These two seemed evenly matched, each gaining momentum at different points. The loud chorus rang throughout the stadium. Seth Rollins, meanwhile, brought out a live band including a conductor to lead the crowd in singing Rollins’ theme. Much like Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 12, Logan Paul came in from the rafters. Montez connected with the belly splash from the top rope, allowing his partner Dawkins to get the pin. Ricochet then hit a moonsault, but landed on Dawkins’ knees. Not to be outdone, Angelo Dawkins literally tackled Hanson, and Ricochet connected with a Shooting Star Press right in front of the announcer’s table. Otis even hit the World’s Strongest Suplex on Strowman. Plus, Dawkins hit a Swanton Bomb, Ivar then performed a moonsault from the top rope, and that was followed by Strowman with a frog splash - also from the top rope. Highlights: Chad Gable performing a rolling German suplex on Braun Stroman was a sight to see. This was a wildly entertaining match in which big men proved that they, too, could defy gravity. Titus O’Neil (2020 Hall of Fame - Warrior Award inductee, former Tag Team Champion) joined the announcer’s table to add his commentary to this Fatal 4-Way tag team match. That gave Theory time to low-blow Cena, land the A-Town Down and make the pin to retain his United States title. Cena even made Theory tap with an ankle lock but, unfortunately, the referee was knocked out. Theory’s sleeper hold almost stopped Cena, but then Cena rebounded with a takedown followed by a “You Can’t See Me” taunt and a Five Knuckle Shuffle. One of Theory’s greatest assets is his ability to work a crowd and get fans to boo him. Theory again bit Cena to break out of the signature move and taunted the crowd with a “You Can’t See Me” reference. The opening match featured some highs and lows, like Theory biting Cena’s ear and Cena locking in the STF. John Cena, who holds the Guinness Book of World Records for the most Make-A-Wish wishes granted, made his big entrance accompanied by a group of Make-A-Wish kids who dreamt of attending WrestleMania.
