WrestleMania 42 Night One is in the books, and the honest grade is 6.5 out of 10. Cody Rhodes retained the WWE Championship in a bloody, shenanigan-filled main event over Randy Orton. Paige made an emotional return, teaming with Brie Bella to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships in the most genuine WrestleMania moment of the night. Bron Breakker came back and cost Seth Rollins the World Heavyweight Title. Liv Morgan became the new Women's World Champion. Becky Lynch is a three-time Women's Intercontinental Champion.

But both Dave and Ben Simon are left with the same feeling walking away from WrestleMania 42 Night One: this felt like a very expensive SmackDown. About 95 minutes of actual in-ring wrestling across a four-hour broadcast. Fifty thousand announced, down from 63,226 at Night One last year. Commercial breaks on constant rotation. The same three Hulk Hogan Netflix clips are airing between every match. No backstage legend segments. John Cena, as host, showed up twice and seemed like he'd rather be anywhere else.

Dave and Ben break down every match, talk about what WrestleMania is missing compared to its best eras, react to Bianca Belair's pregnancy announcement, discuss whether Pat McAfee is actually gone from wrestling forever, and preview Night Two in full — Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar, CM Punk vs Roman Reigns, Jade Cargill vs Rhea Ripley, Je'Von Evans in the IC ladder match, and what's at stake in every bout.

The Ringside Report Network is back Sunday at 10 PM Eastern for WrestleMania 42 Night Two with Dave, Ben, and Johnny North. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
