The Night One of WrestleMania XL ended with The Rock and Roman Reigns reigning supreme. As per the stipulation, the Night Two will witness Bloodline rules for the main event. Likewise, Seth Rollins will have to defend his title against Drew McIntyre after suffering a bad knee injury, exactly on the same knee which was injured before Royal Rumble 2024.

It leads to the potential match scenarios of both World titles for Night Two.

Scenarios for Undisputed WWE Universal Championship

Roman Reigns will be defending his title on Night Two with the Bloodline rules. He will have the back of The final boss, Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, and potentially referees being of no use. Cody Rhodes will be all alone as Seth would have exhausted himself in the title defense against the Scottish Warrior before the main event match. There are a lot of possibilities for the match.

There is a good chance of Roman being the champion again. Many feel that his reign has been good and there is an opinion that Cody cannot bring the charisma of the Tribal Chief. It might mean Roman being the winner. There is also an opinion that Cody cannot lose after winning back-to-back Royal Rumbles, taking so much beating from the Rock in the last few weeks, involvement of family in the feud, and many other reasons.

However, it is humanely and logically impossible for Cody to win the title by taking on the entire Bloodline all by himself. That leaves us with Seth and probably Jey Uso in the current roster who have the back of Rhodes. One of them, Rollins, has already injured himself and is likely to be tired after the match against Drew McIntyre. 

Jey Uso alone would not be enough to take care of the entire Bloodline. That's where the potential 'help' from outside forces comes into the picture. Dustin Rhodes, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and John Cena are all rumoured or expected to be in the arena to help Cody. If they indeed turn out, the main event of Night Two would be one to remember. In that case, Cody might well finish his story.

Scenarios for World Heavyweight Championship 

During the match, Seth Rollins injured his right knee. It was in the same spot where he got injured the last time during the match against Jinder Mahal on Monday Night Raw. He will be up against Drew McIntyre who is match fit and motivated to win as high as ever. In all probabilities, Drew must be able to be the new champion.

In case of an assist from Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, or someone else, Seth might stand a chance. But it is highly unlikely to happen. It does not make sense to back an injured athlete to hand over the responsibility of carrying on the burden of taking forward the main roster like Raw. He needs to get fully fit before returning to action. Hence, Seth might need some time off from WWE.

An assist from Cody or Jey does not make sense either, as both of them are faces. Seth Rollins himself being a face does not help the fact that winning through assistance is not a quality of faces. Moreover, Drew winning against an injured Seth gives more weightage to his new character which is promoted as one that does not care about the way of winning matches. 

Money in the bank cash-in scenarios

Earlier tonight, Finn Balor and Damian Priest failed to defend their Undisputed WWE Tag Team title. They failed to reclaim even one of the titles in the 6-pack ladder match. That leaves Damian with just the MITB contract as his glory. He is in all likelihood set to cash in against one of the champions. The only question is against whom the Judgement Day member would end up cashing in the contract.

So far, his MITB reign has been heavily criticized for a number of failed attempts. All of them were aimed at winning the World Heavyweight Championship title. Going by the trend, one might think Priest to cash in against the winner of Rollins and McIntyre. But the motive of Judgement Day is to conquer the entire company and run the business.

There is a good chance of Priest potentially trying to cash in to claim the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship too. But if Roman manages to defend his title, the chances of it happening are near zero. If Cody somehow manages to win, Damian would not mind cashing in the contract. It might lead to a finishing similar to that of WrestleMania 31.
