Bron Breakker made his return to help Gunther get the win against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 42, Night 1 in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. 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.

Gunther gained steam late in the match with a trio of Clotheslines, until the third failed and nearly resulted in a Rollins Pedigree. 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.
