Wrestlemania 40 years in the making Review without spoilers
9 April 2024
Opening up Night 1 with the man Becky lynch wearing an outfit sporting her new book upstaged by a freaky entrance of Rhea Ripley on a windy evening in Philadelphia which only added to her entrance. A very strong opening match setting the bar high for the night ahead.

A Bruising six man tag Ladder match With judgement day's tagteam titles both sets on the line with chaos all over the ring and in the sky and R truth bringing wrestling comedy in an old school way, an entertaining match Keeping the energy high following a high impact opening match.

Latino heat up next with Mysterio father and son again lining up against each other at wrestlemania this time in the form of a tagteam match. Lead to the ring with the ever expanding entourages. Plenty flight time in this one As you would expect.

The bloodline will be split next as for only the third time at wrestlemania brothers will do battle these brothers born only nine minutes apart jimmy and Jay usos The sons of Hall of Famer Rikishi Will follow in the footsteps of Brett and Owen hart Jeff and Matt Hardy To become the third set of brothers square off at Wrestlemania . In an underwhelming match amazing performers together and maybe Styles too close to each other make this one feel a bit flat.

Damage control face a team of three that look like they could do some damage Naomi Bianca Bel-Air and Jade Cargill Showing what a strong division this is right now The crowd are energised for this one.

The Ring general two years Intercontinental title reign Will be contested has he faces Sami Zayn, Sami will always put up a fight But Guenther so dominant for so long leaves the Stadium a bit flat with normal service expected Despite strong action in the ring it's not really transferred to the crowd.

Your main event of the evening the American nightmare Cody Rhodes the world champion Seth freakin Rollins team up against the final boss the rock Teaming with the tribal chief Roman Reigns with wisemen Paul Heyman in the corner I don't need to say nothing more about this one . If those names aren't enough to peak your interest in this main event you really don't smell what the rock is cooking.

Day 2

A good opening night two With the heavyweight title on the line Seth Rollins drew McIntyre Do you battle in a good match with twists and turns.

A fun Philadelphia Street fight for match two with appearances from Snoop Dogg On commentary and Buba ray Dudley wearing the black and white stripes as referee Better match than expected.

Sky and bayley have a good match For the title as the main event draws near

The words main event of the evening are not wasted on this one Cody Rhodes faces off against the tribal chief Roman Reigns with the wisemen Paul Heyman in his corner in a bloodline rules match following the prelude yesterday there is a huge build to this final match and build up lasting nearly 2 years could be hard to meet expectations but This is up there with the greatest of all time warrior Hogan ,Stone cold rock ,Hogan rock. This one also lives up to the billing and surpasses expectations and surely that's what the great main events do you have expectations and if you walk out saying wow That was more than I expected that's the main event done right as this one is . Overall the strongest wrestlemania in years Right across the card with the main event to match. 40 years in the making worth the wait.
