Bianca Belair had a rough night at WrestleMania 41 Night Two on Sunday (April 20) as she failed to win the Women’s World title from IYO SKY in a Triple-Threat match, also featuring Rhea Ripley. It also marked her first pinfall loss on The Grandest Stage of Them All, adding a blemish to her undefeated streak, which commenced at WrestleMania 37 in 2021—Belair headlined her first Mania match on the main card that year against Sasha Banks.

He reflected on Heyman’s relationship with the Anoa’i family, which dates back to his childhood. Calling The Wiseman a visionary, The Rock credited his ability to legitimize young talent. The latest example of this is Bron Breakker, who joined Heyman and Seth Rollins on Monday Night RAW this week.
