WrestleMania 39 Night 2 went down tonight (Sun., April 2, 2023) from inside SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., in front of a packed crowd of more than 81,000 fans. While the mixed martial arts (MMA)-related story of the night goes to the potential sale of WWE to UFC parent company, Endeavor, there were also some former UFC champions competing inside the squared circle.
In the opening bout of WrestleMania 39’s main card, former UFC Heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar, knocked back a challenge from 7’4” beast, Omos, in a quick — but entertaining — bout. Lesnar initially struggled with the size of Omos, who tossed around “The Beast” early on. In the end, though, Lesnar managed to pick up the 420-pound Nigerian and hit an F5, leading to a pin.
After all the hype surrounding this big man match-up, their showdown lasted just less than five minutes. Check out highlights from that match below:

Immediately after that match, former UFC women’s Bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey, participated in a women’s “Fatal Four-Way” tag team match alongside friend and former The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) / UFC veteran, Shayna Baszler. They took on Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, Natalya and Shotzi and Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville.
Rousey and Baszler took a bit of a backseat on this one, with pro wrestling insider, Dave Meltzer, theorizing that Baszler was injured coming into the bout. That led to a lot of action on the part of the other three tag-teams. But, in the end, it was Rousey with an armbar on Shotzi that earned the win.
