ARLINGTON--Joe "Roman Reigns" Anoa'i became a three-time WWE champion after beating Paul "Triple H" Levesque in the main event of Wrestlemania 32 at the AT&T Center on Monday (Philippine Time).

Reigns bucked off the WWE chief operating officer's challenge with some help from wife Stephanie McMahon and walked away with the wrestling promotion's top prize in front of 101,673 people inside the home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys.

With both wrestlers getting battered but with the challenger having a slight edge, McMahon tried to disrupt the match by pulling out the referee while for the pin count. The delay was enough for the erstwhile winner to kick out.

A little later, now with Triple H getting an advantage, McMahon handed him a sledgehammer to add more damage to Reigns while getting to keep his title despite losing by disqualification.

But Reigns threw two Superman punches on Triple H while getting a spear off a counter to get the three-count and the championship back.

Reigns, who first won the title at last year's Survivor Series, lost the said belt he took from Stephen "Sheamus" Farrelly to Triple H at the Royal Rumble last January.

Sheamus' current faction, the League of Nation, would also get a victory after beating New Day in a non-title tag team match but got into the wrong end of a surprise appearance from WWE legends Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, and Steve Austin.

Meanwhile, McMahon's brother Shane fell to Mark "Undertaker" Callaway in a Hell in a Cell match as the latter improved his legendary Wrestlemania record to 23-1.

The older McMahon, however, provided the highlight of the show when he went to the top of the cell to try to slam Undertaker down.

In the surprise co-main event, Reign's cousin Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson only took six seconds to depose Erick Rowan while getting some help from the returning John Cena to finally take care of the Wyatt Family.

On the other hand, NXT wrestler Baron Corbin may have earned himself a slot in the WWE main roster after winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal against established WWE superstars and NBA legend and commentator Shaquille O'Neal.

Also, former WWE and UFC champion Brock Lesnar proved to the world that he can still take some major beating after braving a brutal street fight with Jon "Dean Ambrose" Good and eventually winning the match.

Likewise, Charlotte Fliehr won the Divas Championship, which was rechristened back to its original Women's Championship name, in a triple-threat match against former holder Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch.

In the other title matches, Zack Ryder climbed the ladder and took the Intercontinental Championship from erstwhile winner Kevin Owens and five other opponents and Emanuel "Kalisto" Rodriguez defended his United States title against Ryan "Ryback" Reeves.
