In less than 48 hours from now, the much-anticipated event of the wrestling world, Wrestlemania 40 will kick off at at Lincoln Financial Field, the home turf of the Philadelphia Eagles. The event is brewing up with tantalising storylines, edge-of-the-seat drama, and the comeback of none but Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock. This is also the first Wrestlemania since WWE and UFC merged under an umbrella company known as TKO Holdings.
It's not just another rendition of Wrestlemania, but potentially the most significant one, which will likely determine the road ahead for the WWE, as it continues to battle for relevancy. The comeback of The Rock will bring in everyone from the old schools to young fans, but it also raises a question about the company's inability to birth a new superstar. Let's take a look at everything you need to know about WWE.
The Big Picture
The Rock and Romain Reigns are teaming up to take on the duo of Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes for the headlining act of the first night. This is not your average tag-team fight; there's more at stake, not least the ensuing conflict and history that informs this rivalry. Last year, Roman Reigns extended his reign as world champion by thrashing Cody Rhodes. A year later they are going to lock horns again for the same title, but before that awaits a tag-team match, where Rhodes is joined by Reigns' teammate in The Shield, Rollins. If Rhodes and Rollins emerge victorious in this bout, there will be no interference from The Bloodline in the championship clash between Rhodes and Reigns. However, if Rock and Reigns win the bout, The Bloodline can interfere in whatever way they want.
More Actions Out There
Jey Uso vs. Jimmy Uso: The showdown between the Uso twins is eagerly anticipated, especially since Jey parted ways with The Bloodline. Starting as the first two competitors in the ring at the Royal Rumble, the stage is set for a dramatic resolution at WrestleMania - the ultimate stage for bringing significant storylines to a climax.
Logan Paul (c) vs. Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens: Additionally, the U.S. champion, Paul, finds himself caught in a web of rivalries as he prepares to defend his title in a triple-threat match against Orton and Owens. With tensions running high and personal vendettas at play, WrestleMania 40 promises to be a thrilling and unpredictable event for all involved.
When Will Wrestlemania 40 Begin?
The 40th edition of Wrestlemania starts on the April 6, and the flagship event, the title for Undisputed WWE Universal Champions between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes will happen on April 7.
