"The Architect" constructed the greatest heist in WrestleMania history.
Seth Rollins walked out of WrestleMania 31 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. as the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
After Brock Lesnar dominated Roman Reigns for most of the match in the main event and the leader of the Roman Empire made his comeback, both men were left down on the mat.
Rollins then came to the ring and cashed in his briefcase to make it a Triple Threat Match . After Reigns speared Lesnar, Rolllins hit him with a Curb Stomp and pinned Reigns to win his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship to end the show.
Rollins fell to Randy Orton in a fantastic back-and-forth affair earlier in the night after "Mr. Money in the Bank" attempted a Curb Stomp and "The Viper" reversed it in midair into an RKO for the pinfall.
Elsewhere, in the huge match between Triple H and Sting, "The Game" defeated "The Vigilante" after he hit him with the sledgehammer. It was a fun match as D-Generation X (Road Dogg, Billy Gunn X-Pac and eventually Shawn Michaels) got involved on behalf of Triple H while the nWo (Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) aided Sting.
After the match, Sting and Triple H shook hands.
That wasn't the end of the night for "The Game" as a segment involving him and his wife Stephanie McMahon occurred later in the show.
Both of them took credit for what WrestleMania has become today and they were interrupted by The Rock, who got some barbs in on them.
Then, in what will go down as a classic WrestleMania Moment, after Stephanie kicked The Rock out of the ring, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey was brought into the ring by "The People's Champion" and took down Triple H before taking out Stephanie.
In another high-profile bout, The Undertaker defeated Bray Wyatt in a great match after reversing the Sister Abigail into the second Tombstone of the contest to get the win. The Undertaker shook off losing The Streak last year to improve to 22-1 at WrestleMania.
Elsewhere, the United States Championship changed hands as John Cena defeated Rusev after the mighty Russian accidentally knocked Lana off the apron, leading to Cena hitting the Attitude Adjustment and getting the pin.
Lana sold her injured ankle after the match, but Rusev showed no remorse and walked off.
There is also a new Intercontinental Champion as Daniel Bryan won the Ladder Match against Bad News Barrett, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Stardust, Luke Harper and R-Truth in what was a great opening contest.
In Divas action, Paige and AJ Lee defeated The Bella twins after Lee made Nikki Bella tap out.
On the pre-show, Cesaro and Tyson Kidd retained the Tag Team Championships in a Fatal 4 Way tag team match against The Usos, Los Matadores and The New Day.
The contest had a lot of fun spots and the ending saw Cesaro blind tag in and pin Big E after Jimmy Uso hit a splash off the top rope. Jey Uso (shoulder) was legitimately injured and was written out of the match in the beginning.
Also on the pre-show, Big Show won the second annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal after last eliminating Damien Sandow, who turned on The Miz.
