FOG BLOG SPORTS LOG: HIGHLIGHTS FROM LAST NIGHT'S WRESTLEMANIA, STEVE AUSTIN W UNDERTAKER IN PHOTO!

TRIPLE H FORMERLY RETIRES!......New Photo of Steve Austin and The Undertaker at WrestleMania 38....The WrestleMania 38 Kickoff pre-show panel spoke about how WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin is in tremendous shape for tonight’s appearance on The KO Show with Kevin Owens. WWE tweeted this photo of Austin with 2022 WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker during rehearsals earlier this afternoon and it is clear that Stone Cold is in great shape.............Roman Reigns. Brock Lesnar.

For the third time in WrestleMania history, those two industry giants squared off in the main event of WrestleMania 38, this time with the stakes higher than ever before. The WWE and Universal Championships were on the line in a Winner Takes All match that would shape the future of Raw and SmackDown for the foreseeable future.

With two world titles and bragging rights on the line, the most heated rivalry in the company came to a head in the show-closing contest of Sunday's action at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

Who emerged with the gold and what went down on the rest of the card when Superstars settled grudges and tag titles were decided?

Find out now with this recap of Night 2 of The Showcase of the Immortals. ..........The night's opening match saw RK-Bro's Randy Orton and Riddle successfully retain their Raw Tag Team Championship in a Triple Threat match against The Street Profits and Alpha Academy.

A high-energy three-way bout that featured one member from each team in the ring at the same time, it was the perfect choice to kick off the show.

The crowd was into it, the competitors were amped up and the Orton hot tag sparked a phenomenal finishing sequence that concluded with The Viper catching Chad Gable with an RKO mid-flight for the win.

The Profits showed respect to the victors post-match, suggesting the recently teased heel turn will not move forward. Given the lack of depth in the tag division, it is likely for the best that Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins stay fan favorites.

This was a fantastic way to kick off the show and set the bar for the rest of the broadcast...........The unstoppable force met the immovable object in the night's second match as Bobby Lashley looked to halt Omos' momentum.

He succeeded, delivering a massive vertical suplex to the former tag team champion and following up with two Spears for the pinfall victory.

The match was mercifully short and Omos was not asked to do too much. Of course, what he was asked to do, he managed to mess up by sending The All Mighty's head into the turnbuckle.

Still, Lashley went over to end the big man's dominance in what was the right call. One man is a former world champion, the other is probably not ready to go it alone as a singles star...........One of the most fun, original matches in WrestleMania history featured Johnny Knoxville and Sami Zayn in an Anything Goes contest.

Hijinx ensued, with Zayn punishing Knoxville early before members of the Jackass cast, including Chris Pontius and Wee Man, provided distractions and allowed their leader to get back into the fight.

Knoxville used a taser, a bowling ball and a giant mousetrap among other items to ultimately pin Zayn before celebrating with his friends.

This match was going to go one of two ways: It was either going to be a cluster of massive proportions that embarrassed everyone involved or a total blast.

Fortunately, it was the latter and both performers deserve props for crafting a match that kept the fans invested and entertained throughout.

This was a great example of garbage wrestling done at an elite level and perhaps Zayn's greatest accomplishment in his WWE run..............Sasha Banks and Naomi, Natalya and Shayna Baszler, and Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley challenged Queen Zelina and Carmella for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship in a Fatal 4-Way match.

A spotty contest, with almost too much going on for its own good, saw Banks and Naomi use tandem offense to score the pinfall on Carmella and the titles.

The effort was there and all eight women were highlighted well, but with so many competitors looking to get their stuff in, the match consisted more of spots and flashy sequences than any easily tracked narrative.

One of the two babyface teams had to win here and, given the fact that Banks had competed at six WrestleManias without a win, this was as good a time as any to right that wrong.

The Boss and Naomi are a dynamic team and will hopefully inspire the creative team to take the tag titles seriously.
