The Sporting News will be providing live grades and updates from WrestleMania 38 as it happens. Stay tuned!

Jessie James Decker sang America the Beautiful before the show began. Everyone is ready for another night of WrestleMania. 

Triple H returns

Triple H opens the show to a thunderous ovation. Crowd says "Thank you Hunter" as Triple H is breathing it all in. Triple H says "thank you" to the crowd and welcomes everyone to WrestleMania. He then left his boots in the ring, signifying the end of his in-ring career. 

While it wasn't a match, it was a really good moment for Triple H, who can no longer wrestle due to a recent health issue. 

Grade: A+

Gable Stevenson was announced in the crowd. 

Randy Orton and Riddle retain RAW Tag Team Titles

From Triple H to Randy Orton, the RAW Tag Team Title match opened up WrestleMania. Chad Gable tried to "Shoosh" Riddle, but Riddle kicked him in the head. Things got heated in a hurry, as everyone entered the ring to attack one another. Montez Ford took out everyone with a top rope splash. Gable hit a top rope moonsault to the outside.

Things slowed down when Otis and Riddle were in the ring together. Riddle played the face in peril as Gable continued what Otis started. Angelo Dawkins, Riddle, and Otis had a small exchange, with Riddle still in trouble. Riddle finally tagged in Randy Orton who cleaned house. He attacked everyone in and out of the ring. Orton and Riddle both landed an assisted-rope DDT, and the crowd was eating it up. As both went for the RKO, Alpha Academy stopped their momentum. Street Profits landed a blockbuster but Gable kicked out in a close moment. Riddle landed a top rope RKO onto Montez Ford. Orton then landed an RKO on a flying Gable for the win. 

A very fun opener to kick off WrestleMania. That top rope RKO was a thing of beauty. Orton and Riddle retaining was the right call. 

Grade: A

The Street Profits then invited Orton and Riddle to drink with them, and they also invited Gable Stevenson in the ring. Gable interrupted and Stevenson landed a suplex on him. 

Omos towers over Lashley and the former starting pounding away. Lashley tried to use his power against Omos but to no avail. He slaps Omos and Omos gets mad and hurts Lashley more. A Hurt Locker attempt and Omos powers out. A top rope attempt by Lashley gets stopped and Omos just launches him down to the floor. Bear hug by Omos and Lashley head goes into the top turnbuckle. A suplex by Lashley, a spear to Omos' back, and a front spear by Lashley ends it. 

Lashley winning was not what many expected would happen. Omos is still green in the ring and it showed, as he missed several big moves and appeared to have hurt Lashley. Credit to Lashley for making the match passible to some degree. Solid comeback moment for the former champion. 

Grade: D+

Johnny Knoxville def. Sami Zayn

Johnny Knoxville came out to Andy Kaufman-like gear. Zayn hit a Helluva Kick right away and just started punishing Knoxville. Knoxville hit Zayn with a fire extinguisher and started filling the ring with weapons. Zayn hit Knoxville with a crutch and a garbage can. Zayn tried getting more weapons and found a table full of mousetraps. Zayn landed an Exploder Suplex through a table. A blow horn stops Zayn from further attacks. 

Chris Pontius as "Party Boy" comes into the ring and distracts Zayn. Wee Man appears and lands a bodyslam onto Zayn. A DDT by Knoxville and a close two count. Zayn attacked Wee Man. Zayn on the top rope, but Knoxville set off the pyro alarm. Knoxvile hit a bowling ball to the groin of Zayn, then a mechanical boot to the groin as well. Knoxville tried to tase Zayn but Zayn ran into a big hand. Knoxville throws Zayn through the mouse trap table. The Jackass crew then bring in a giant mouse trap and Zayn gets caught in it. Knoxville covers for the win. 

This match had no right being this entertaining, but it worked. Credit to Knoxville for entering a WWE ring, and credit to Zayn for enduring so much. Most entertaining WWE match in a long time. 

Grade: A
