...and here's HULK HOGAN!
Yes, that's right, Hulk Hogan is here!
One of WWE's greatest of all time is here to welcome the global audience to WrestleMania.
We're starting off with this huge match!
Universal Championship Match
Brock Lesnar (C) v Seth Rollins
Unbelievable!
Lesnar's wasting no time...
Well, clearly, Lesnar is in a hurry. The bell hasn't even sounded but, already, Lesnar has absolutely nailed Rollins with an F5 on the floor by ringside!
Maybe this match isn't even going to get started? It's all going off!
We ARE underway...
The bell rings, the match as started. But Rollins has already taken a beating, and repeated German Suplexes aren't helping his mood, either.
This isn't going to be pretty; nor is it likely to last long...
BREAKING: SETH ROLLINS DEFEATS BROCK LESNAR TO WIN UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP!
Well who saw that coming?
Lesnar dished out an absolute beating to Rollins before the bell and looked set for a swift victory.
Rollins rallied, however, and his assault was stunningly brief - three Kerb Stomps proving to be enough to slay The Beast and claim the Universal Championship.
What a shock!
Next up: AJ Styles v Randy Orton
This one should be a treat as two relative veterans go head to head at WrestleMania.
"Randy Orton can hit you from anywhere!"
That analysis is sound as Orton begins to take control of this match, dominating Styles with a slow and methodical pace.
Styles fancies he's left his mark on Orton's knee, but it's not enough to knock the Viper off his stride.
Styles gets in some offence and does deliver more damage to Orton's knee, but one swift back-breaker later sees Randy back in the ascendancy once again.
The two climb to the top rope with Styles stunned from a headbutt, and Orton brings them both crashing down with a stunning, hanging suplex.
Superb from Styles!
A kick to the side of the head rocks Randy Orton, but the Viper somehow pops up out of nowhere to nail an RKO.
That looks to be all, but Styles gets a shoulder up at the last to kick out. Incredible action from two of the company's best and most established stars.
