Hello and welcome to the WrestleMania 42 Night 2 preview. I'm Adam Wilborn from What Culture. Join by on Dutley Boys, Michael Hanflip from What Culture, here to look ahead to WrestleMania Sunday. But before we get into it, if you're a fan of this sort of thing, make sure you subscribe to What Culture Wrestling on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Amazon, and YouTube. We do daily wrestling podcasts where we're not in review Raw, but also smack and the show formerly known as NXT 2.

Oh, Spotify, Amazon Music and YouTube. We do daily wrestling podcast where we're not in review Raw, but also Smackdown and the show formerly known as NXT 2.0.8.2-8-2.0.8-2, live events. We have interviews, roundtable discussions and a roundup of the week complete. With the money good quiz, of course, on WrestleMania. As I said, they're joined by Michael Hamilton's look ahead to Night 2 of WrestleMania. If you're wondering, what the hell, where's night one?

0:38.7

It is already out.

0:39.5

Go and check that one out, of course, right now.

0:41.6

But we are looking ahead to WrestleMania Sunday,

0:44.3

which possibly for the first time ever

0:46.8

looks set to blow WrestleMania Saturday out the water.

0:51.3

I, for one, cannot believe what happened on night one. But obviously, this is not what we're here to talk about, yeah. You all know, you all saw it with your own eyes. We're all still dealing with the consequences of it. And that is exactly what night two will have to do. It will have to deal with the consequences of night one. I'm not sort of pitching night one as like the sort of naughty child here in the restmany weekend. But let's be honest, in the run-up to WrestleMania this year, this night two card, like from, well, opener as we're going to get to, to the main event, has just felt stiggity, stiggily stacked with absolutely everything you actually want to see over Ressamine weekend. There are great exceptions. Again, go back and watch our Night 1 preview.

1:27.8

Go back and check out WrestleMania Night 1 from last night in Allegiance Stadium. What a night we will never forget about it. We will talk about it for years and years and years to come. I'm not going to spoil what happened last night if you haven't seen yet. But Night 2 certainly, it's felt like, and again, this kind of falls into the Pat Macfave at all, this idea that like

1:45.1

AAA has tried to claim Night 2 is on this stuff I like and then this is stuff day one over

1:51.9

there on A, night one. Like night two has got a different kind of pressure on it. There is so much

1:57.1

excitement around the Big Matches on Night 2 that really the pressure is on it to deliver on expectations.

2:02.6

And we'll start at the beginning of the show,

2:05.3

the couple of matches that are on ESPN,

2:07.2

and I think the match I am most nervous about kicks off night two

2:12.4

is, as you were alluding to there,

2:14.5

Oberfemmi versus Brock Lesner,

2:17.3

arguably the most anticipated match across

2:20.1

WrestleMania weekend. Don't get me wrong, I love Sian Punk and Roman Raines, but you ask any

2:25.2

sort of casual fan and they cannot take their eyes of this. I think the build to this, you can

2:30.1

say what you want about the other matches, the other builds to WrestleMania, the build to this

2:33.5

for me has been perfect.
