Roman Reigns has been his “Tribal Chief” for half a decade.

While it’s unexpected, I have to admit it’s the most interesting option of the three.

Tiffany Stratton was the only champ to retain, and even she walked out minus a tooth or two.

The biggest surprise of the night was honestlyhow straightforward it wound up being.

Stratton/Flair never went off the rails with stiff shots.

Fatu won the title without the slightest hint of dissension from Solo Sikoa.

And there was no sign of Big E to put a stop to The New Days cheating.

Maybe theyre saving the big surprises for Sunday?

A Mid Mania?

But the rest of the night was noticeably lacking.

Thankfully, there’s still plenty in store for Night 2.

John Cena competing as a heel is something fans have been waiting to see for two decades.

I wasn’t wowed by Night 1, but I’m not giving up onWrestleMania 41just yet.
