11:45 p.m.: Roman Reigns is your new WWE champion.

Triple H had some evil intentions with his legendary sledgehammer, but Reigns hit one final spear to win the title and close out WrestleMania 32.

11:40 p.m.: Roman Reigns was seconds away from a win, but Stephanie McMahon broke up the three count.

And then Reigns speared McMahon by accident, which angered Triple H, to say the least.

Triple H hit his finisher, the Pedigree, but Reigns kicked out.

11:32 p.m.: Don’t count out Roman Reigns yet. The challenger neutralized Triple H with a vicious spear through the barricade.

11:25 p.m.: Triple H has dominated the early part of this match, thanks in large part to a low blow after his wife, Stephanie McMahon, distracted the referee.

11:08 p.m.: It’s time for the main event between Roman Reigns and Triple H for the WWE title.

It’s been quite a show so far. What will Reigns and Triple H have in store for us?

10:58 p.m.: John Cena’s back, and he helped The Rock destroy The Wyatt Family.

10:55 p.m.: Well this is unexpected.

The Rock actually fights in a match, and he sets a new WrestleMania record with a win over Erick Rowan in six seconds.

10:50 p.m.: The Rock announced a new WrestleMania attendance record.

But he was interrupted by The Wyatt Family.

10:38 p.m.: The Rock is here, and he has a terrifying flamethrower.

10:30 p.m.: NXT’s Baron Corbin put himself on the map by winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

10:20 p.m.: The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal is up next, and Shaq is one of the participants.

Shaq didn’t last very long, though.

Tatanka and Diamond Dallas Page also are in the match.

10:08 p.m.: Both The Undertaker and Shane McMahon deserve a huge round of applause after that match.

McMahon put his entire body on the line, but The Deadman landed a Tombstone Piledriver in the center of the ring for the win.

10:04 p.m.: What. Just. Happened?!

Shane McMahon climbed Hell in a Cell and jumped from the top of the cage into the announce table. Unfortunately for him, The Undertaker got out of the way just in time.

9:59 p.m.: The Undertaker was about to put Shane McMahon through a table, but McMahon countered with a sleeper hold. However, The Deadman sacrificed his own body and jumped through the table to break the hold.

9:56 p.m.: Even Hell in a Cell couldn’t contain these two wrestlers.

9:53 p.m.: COAST TO COAST!

Shane McMahon’s still got it, ladies and gentlemen.

But that still wasn’t enough to beat The Undertaker.

9:47 p.m.: The Undertaker has hit some of his iconic moves, but Shane McMahon is still alive in the match.

And McMahon even locked in a submission move of his own, which wore down The Deadman.

9:33 p.m.: The Deadman is here.

9:30 p.m.: What crazy thing is “Shane O Mac” about to do?

9:24 p.m.: Hell in a Cell is lowering from the rafters, which can only mean one thing: It’s time for Shane McMahon vs. The Undertaker.

9:21 p.m.: That might end up being the match of the night.

Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks ushered in the new WWE women’s championship with a phenomenal match, which Charlotte won via submission. But she needed some help from her father, wrestling icon Rick Flair.

9:12 p.m.: Sasha Banks is honoring the late Eddie Guerrero in the ring.

9:05 p.m.: The new WWE women’s championship is up for grabs in the next match.

WWE also honored its newest Hall of Fame members after the street fight.

8:45 p.m.: Brock Lesnar finished Dean Ambrose with a vicious F5 on a pile of chairs.

It was an incredibly physical and brutal match. Below are just a few of the highlights in video and photo form.

8:34 p.m.: It didn’t take long for “Suplex City” to show up.

But Ambrose does have a few tricks of his own.

8:30 p.m.: Who’s ready for a street fight?

Well, we know Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar are. This should be a brutal match.

8:15 p.m.: The League of Nations beat New Day, but the real action happened after the match when Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mick Foley and Shawn Michaels showed up.

8 p.m.: The WWE world tag team champions, New Day, just came out of a massive box of Booty O’s cereal, because of course they did.

That means the 3-on-4 match between New Day and League of Nations is next.

7:55 p.m.: Chris Jericho earned yet another WrestleMania moment when he he countered AJ Styles’ attempt at a Phenomenal Elbow with a Codebreaker for the win. He earned himself a few extra seconds when he pushed the referee out of the way, though, so it wasn’t exactly a clean finish.

7:50 p.m.: Chris Jericho hit AJ Styles with another finisher — this time the Codebreaker — but it wasn’t enough to keep Styles down for the three count.

And then Styles landed a Styles Clash on Jericho, who somehow also kicked out.

7:48 p.m.: Chris Jericho locked in the Walls of Jericho once again, but AJ Styles countered with a submission move of his own.

7:45 p.m.: AJ Styles’ WrestleMania debut almost ended in disaster thanks to the Walls of Jericho, but he managed to escape.

Styles did have some moments earlier in the match.

7:33 p.m.: Now it’s time for AJ Styles to make his WrestleMania debut against Chris Jericho.

7:28 p.m.: Zack Ryder is your new Intercontinental champion.

It appeared that Kevin Owens would retain his title after he went after Sami Zayn’s eye, but Zayn returned the favor and knocked the champion out.

The Miz had a golden opportunity to win the title, but he did a little too much showing off and Ryder capitalized.

7:22 p.m.: Sami Zayn is putting on quite the show at his first WrestleMania.

But old friend Kevin Owens made sure he left with a few bruises.

Stardust also honored his late father, Dusty Rhodes, with a special ladder.

7:05 p.m.: The Intercontinental championship ladder match will lead off the main show, so get ready for some fun, high-flying action.

Before that, Fifth Harmony performed “America the Beautiful.”

And it’s not a WWE event without an incredible promo video and fireworks.
