🗓️ On This Day - 1998

Goldberg Captures Gold, Hogan Reclaims the Throne

26 years ago today, WCW Monday Nitro aired live from the World Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado, just one night after Spring Stampede. In a night full of major title changes, Goldberg extended his undefeated streak to 75-0 by defeating Raven to win the WCW United States Championship—his first title in WCW.

In the main event, Hulk Hogan defeated “Macho Man” Randy Savage in a No Disqualification match to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, just 24 hours after Savage had captured the title at Spring Stampede. The win kicked off Hogan’s fifth reign with the WCW title, further intensifying the power struggle between the NWO factions. It’s wild how quickly title reigns could come and go during peak WCW.

Night 1 Results - April 19th, 2025

WrestleMania 41 Night 1 took place from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, kicking off with a high-energy card that saw five title matches, surprise appearances, a shocking submission finish, and major moments for stars on the rise and legends alike.

Jey Uso def. GUNTHER (c) – World Heavyweight Championship. In the opening bout, Jey Uso overcame GUNTHER’s brutal offense in a hard-hitting war. After surviving multiple powerbombs and a Gojira Clutch, Jey used his own version of the clutch to submit GUNTHER and capture his first World Heavyweight title. Post-match, he celebrated with his brother “Big” Jim Uso in the crowd.

New Day def. War Raiders (c) – World Tag Team Championship. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods won their first tag titles in years after a chaotic and physical encounter. With a double stomp and lateral press on Ivar, assisted by Kingston, New Day dethroned the War Raiders to become the new champs.

Jade Cargill def. Naomi. Cargill picked up her biggest WWE win yet in a fast-paced bout with Naomi. Despite Naomi’s innovative offense and a close nearfall off a moonsault, Jade rallied back with an electric chair powerbomb and Jaded to get the win.

Jacob Fatu def. LA Knight (c) – United States Championship. The Samoan Werewolf took down LA Knight in a wild match that saw both men trade big bombs and counters. Fatu sealed the victory—and the title—after multiple moonsaults. WWE legend Haku joined him in the ring to celebrate.

El Grande Americano def. Rey Fenix. With Rey Mysterio pulled due to injury, Rey Fenix stepped in but came up short against the masked villain.

Tiffany Stratton (c) def. Charlotte Flair – WWE Women’s Championship. In one of the night’s most competitive matches, Stratton survived an Avalanche Natural Selection and reversed a figure-four sequence into an Alabama Slam and Prettiest Moonsault Ever for the pinfall victory.

In a surprising WrestleMania 41 twist, Women's Grand Slam Champion Bayley was pulled off the card just hours before the show. Pro Wrestling Insider Elite revealed that the move was an orchestrated angle, not due to injury.

This will be Fenix's first WrestleMania appearance and his fifth WWE match, following his debut only weeks ago.
