Jey Uso Becomes World Heavyweight Champion At WrestleMania 41 - Full Night 1 Results (WWE News)

With WWE WrestleMania 41 Night 1 now done and dusted, Jey Uso is your new World Heavyweight Champion.

In the opening match of WrestleMania Saturday, Main Event Jey defeated Gunther following a 17-minute back-and-forth. For the Ring General, he came close to winning at several points, such as using the World Heavyweight Title as a weapon, hitting a top-rope splash, and locking in a sleeper.

After overcoming all of that, Jey scored the win after landing three Uso Splashes and then, somewhat surprisingly, making Gunther tap out to Uso's own sleeper. Of course, Gunther put Jimmy Uso to sleep several weeks ago as part of the Austrian's brutal assault that left Big Jim a bloody mess, as Jey was tied to the ring ropes and forced to watch.

Post-match, Jimmy joined his twin in the ring as the two embraced while Allegiant Stadium yeet-ed along.

In terms of the match itself, Uso vs. Gunther was solid if not spectacular, full of the sorts of chops and superkicks one would expect. Also as one would expect, the 'Mania 41 crowd was electric for Jey's entrance, with him making his way through those fans as yeet-adorned dancers waved flags on the WrestleMania stage and aisleway.

The World Heavyweight Title wasn't the only piece of gold up for grabs on WrestleMania Saturday, though...

WrestleMania 41 Night 1 Results

Not just was Jey Uso not the only person to win a title at WrestleMania 41 Night 1, but he wasn't even the only person in his extended family to do so, as the middle of the card saw Jacob Fatu put LA Knight away with his Mighty Moonsault to become the new United States Champion. The one other title change of the night came in the second match, where the New Day beat the War Raiders to become the World Tag Team Champions.

Likely to the surprise of many, Charlotte Flair was not successful in her challenge to dethrone Tiffany Stratton as the WWE Women's Champion. A rather clunky match where the two seemed to struggle to get on the same page at times, Stratton was able to hit her Prettiest Moonsault Ever in order to make sure that it remains Tiffy Time for a little longer.

Regardless of the title matches, the biggest story of WrestleMania 41 Night 1 was the main event of CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins. While Paul Heyman was in the corner of the Second City Saint, and with plenty of questions over the Wiseman's loyalties to Punk and Reigns, Paul Heyman would Paul Heyman. As in, Paul E would ultimately screw both CM Punk and Roman Reigns, hitting each man with a low blow and joining forces with Seth Rollins - Heyman and Rollins celebrating together and leaving the ring together.

Rounding out the Night 1 card, Jade Cargill put in another impressive power display as she beat Naomi after hitting the Jaded, and El Grande Americano scored a big win over Rey Fenix. While Americano was scheduled to face Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 41, Mysterio suffered an unfortunate injury on SmackDown that sadly meant he was pulled from 'Mania. In his place, WWE newcomer Rey Fenix filled in, although Fenix came up short after El Grande once again loaded his mask with a piece of metal.
