The interference marked the second surprise of WrestleMania weekend, following Paige's tag team title win earlier on Saturday night.Gunther drop-kicked Rollins as soon as Rollins entered the ring and hit him with a big Powerbomb. The match couldn't even get going properly, as Rollins went for Gunther's eyes outside the ring, leading to a brawl around the ring.

He even resorted to grabbing and tossing chairs at Gunther before they entered the ring to start the match. Not before Rollins gave Gunther the double birds, though, of course.After the match's hot start, they moved at a bit of a snail's pace, trading some slow chops and strike exchanges. They eventually climbed a corner that saw Gunther countered when Rollins leapt over him to set up a Bucklebomb all the way into the opposite corner.

He nailed a big Clothesline afterward, halting the pace again before Rollins rushed Gunther to trade shots on their knees. Rollins rattled off machine gun-like chops that backed Gunther into the corner. The "Ring General" simply ate them all and planted Rollins with another big Powerbomb that couldn't get the job done.This match is BACK and FORTH!!

Gunther escapes, but still gets hit with it after a bridge suplex failed. A Stomp from Rollins followed, and still, Gunther kicked out.

He wanted a Stomp off the top rope afterward. A Gunther sleeper choke followed after Rollins missed. He fought out, biting the arm of Gunther and landing rolling forearms.WHAT A MATCH!!!

Had it not been for connecting his foot to the rope, Gunther may have went out. A pair of suicide dives landed for Rollins, with the third resulting in his downfall.

He gets caught, Bucklebombed onto the apron, then Powerbombed onto the announce desk. Gunther wanted another, but was countered to take a Pedigree on the table. Rollins wasn't done, adding a Stomp to finish it off — as the referee simply didn't work the 10-count.Then Bron Breakker appeared and Speared Rollins out of his shoes.

The referee seemingly missed it while he checked on Gunther. That allowed for the "Ring General" to re-enter and lock the choke onto Rollins for the win.BRON BREAKKER IS BACK!!!! @bronbreakkerwweWHAT A SPEAR!!! pic.twitter.com/xSMkp2FDB6— WWE (@WWE) April 19, 2026Gunther makes Seth Rollins TAP 😱@Gunther_AUT | #WrestleManiapic.twitter.com/oorFxORpvo— WWE (@WWE) April 19, 2026Breakker wasn't done with Rollins after the match.
