No Holds Barred Match
“Stone Cold” Steve Austin vs Kevin Owens
![](https://atletifo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/steve-austin-1.jpg)
The main event of Wrestlemania 38 was a “KO Show” segment between Steve Austin and Kevin Owens. Owens insulted Texas and Steve Austin before challenging Austin to a No Holds Barred match to main event Wrestlemania.
The match was a fun nostalgia trip that lasted under 15 minutes, but gave fans one last Steve Austin match that they always wanted. Austin hit all his usual moves and drunk lots of beer as the match went on. He even took some big bumps, including a suplex onto the concrete as the pair brawled in the crowd.
Steve Austin won the match with a Stone Cold Stunner, pinning Kevin Owens for the victory.
Match Ratings – 7.88
Star Ratings – 3.5 stars
Night 2
WWE Raw Tag Team Championships
RK-Bro vs The Street Profits vs Alpha Academy
The opener of the second night of Wrestlemania featured Randy Orton and Matt Riddle defending their Raw Tag Team Championships against two top tag teams. They faced off with former Champions The Uso’s and Street Profits in a fiery three-way tag team match that proved to be just the opener this years second night of Wrestlemania needed.
In a match that was rated 7.44 by Cagematch, the team of Randy Orton and Matt Riddle won the match after two RKO’s to retain their WWE Raw Tag Team Championships at Wrestlemania 38.
Match Ratings – 7.44
Star Rating –4.25
Bobby Lashley vs Omos
In a boring match that had no right to be on this card, the lumbering giant of Omos was felled by the devastating spear of Bobby Lashley. The former WWE Champion won the match by pinfall in a match that only lasted six minutes but felt much, much longer
Match Ratings – 4.07
Star Ratings – 0.5 stars
Anything Goes Match
Johnny Knoxville vs Sami Zayn
One of the highlights of the night and one of my highest Wrestlemania 38 match ratings came from the No Holds Barred brawl between Sami Zayn and Jackass star Johnny Knoxville. The pair had a heated rivalry for months, which most people thought culminated with Knoxville making an appearance in the Royal Rumble.
However, various hijinx caused this match to be set at Wrestlemania 38, and it delivered in spades. Hard shots with weapons, giant mouse traps and even a giant hand slapping Sami Zayn, this match was simple fun for everyone to enjoy.
Johnny Knoxville pinned the former NXT Champion after interference from Chris Pontius and Wee-man, in what will surely become one of his favourite Wrestlemania moments of all time.
Match Ratings – 7.23
Star Ratings – Not rated
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Match
Carmella & Queen Zelina vs. Natalya & Shayna Baszler vs. Naomi & Sasha Banks vs. Liv Morgan & Rhea Ripley
This match finally saw Sasha Banks pick up a win at Wrestlemania, but that is about you’re going to get from this match. The men’s multi-man tag team match did everything better than this match, and it was dragged down by some less-than-top talent in this match that the better workers could not make up for.
Sasha Banks picked up her first victory at Wrestlemania and gave herself and Naomi their first reign together as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, although as Wrestlemania 38 match ratings go it is on the lower end of the scale.
Match Ratings – 5.48
Star Ratings – 2.5 stars
AJ Styles vs Edge
This match was a dream match for so many, and one most people never thought would come true. AJ Styles seemed destined to stay in TNA forever when Edge retired in 2012 and become a WWE Hall of Famer.
However, now AJ Styles has had his own WWE Hall of Fame career whilst Edge is doing some of his best work in WWE after he returned to the ring in 2019.
However, the match did slightly disappoint. The match had a strange pace, and compared to the likes of Seth Rollins vs Cody Rhodes from the day prior, did not live up the hype. Edge won the match after interference by Damian Priest. It was an intriguing way to start a new angle with Edge, who will be leading his new stable into the future, but having a dream match at Wrestlemania end that way is never how you want things to do.
Before the show I expected this to be one of the highest Wrestlemania 38 match ratings, but it was a middling and disappointing bout.
Match Ratings – 7.32
Star Ratings – 3.75 stars
New Day vs Sheamus and Ridge Holland
This match was a nothing match. Cut for time on the day prior, it went less than two minutes after Sheamus won with a brogue kick.
Match ratings – N/A (Too Short)
Star Ratings – 0.25 stars
Pat McAfee vs Austin Theory
In a decent match that made McAfee more than Theory look like a star, Pat McAfee rolled up Austin Theory to win his first Wrestlemania match in WWE
Match Ratings – 6.96
Star Ratings – 3.75
Pat McAfee vs Vince McMahon
Vince McMahon vs Pat McAfee followed the previous match, with McAfee challenging the chairman of WWE after beating Theory. Vince McMahon had his last match, but only hit clotheslines and kicked an American football into McAfee’s groin, as the 76 year old picked up his first Wrestlemania victory.
Match Rating – N/A (Too Short)
Star Rating – Negative 2 stars
WWE Universal Championship Unification Match
Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns
The main event of the second night of Wrestlemania 38 saw the third time that Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar has disappointed in a Wrestlemania main event.
In what was called the “biggest match ever”, Roman Reigns won a sub-par match by spearing Brock Lesnar and pinning him after a match that failed to get out of second gear.
It was one of the lowest Wrestlemania 38 match ratings on the card, with only a 4.56 rating from Cagematch. Once again, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar fail to ignite the crowd and impress the audience despite the huge steaks placed upon this match. Not one to watch and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
Match Ratings – 4.56
Star Ratings – 3.25 stars
