ROMAN REIGNS walked out of the WrestleMania Night Two main event with the WWE World Heavyweight title after outlasting CM Punk.
The pair had the longest match of the weekend at 33 minutes and 57 seconds and many fans would argue it was the match of the weekend, too.

The Tribal Chief would win the belt clean as a whistle after a true, intense war with Punk in his record-setting eleventh WrestleMania main event.
Reigns and Punk went at it right from the start with the kind of intensity one would expect from a first-time ever matchup between two stars of their magnitude.
The match turned when Punk attempted to scale the top rope and jump to the outside and drop an elbow through Reigns as he lay on the announce table.
Reigns got up, managed to hang Punk upside down on the turnbuckle and rocked the champion with three Superman punches. He then followed that up with the steel steps to the head.
Then in a callback to his Shield days that Punk ironically originally orchestrated, Reigns powerbombed Punk through the announce table.
A bloodied Punk was rolled back into the ring and as Reigns attempted a match-ending Spear, Punk managed to pull out a last-gasp GTS to get a near-fall.
Punk nearly stole the win when he threw his tape at Reigns causing the referee to be distracted as he cleared it from the ring. The champion landed a low-blow and swiftly followed it up with a GTS for a long two count.
Things got worse for Reigns as Punk finally managed his earlier wish of elbowing Reigns through an announce table, giving him the upper hand in the dying embers.
However, when Punk had an opening to deliver a second GTS in a row, he collapsed through exhaustion and Reigns capitalized.
The OTC would land two Spears to claim his seventh world title in WWE.
