The biggest entertainment sports event in the world, WrestleMania 40, will take place tomorrow night between Saturday and Sunday at Lincoln Stadium in Philadelphia and will be split into two nights. This will be the second WrestleMania to be held in a city in the state of Pennsylvania, after WrestleMania 15 in 1999.
WrestleMania is considered the flagship event of the WWE, since it first took place in 1985. The WrestleMania event ranks sixth in the list of the most valued sports events in the USA, when it was often described as the “Super Bowl of entertainment sports”.
In the shadow of quite a few recent affairs surrounding the legendary owner Vince McMahon, the world’s most popular wrestlers will compete on the biggest stage of all, in an era after icons such as The Undertaker, Triple H or Shawn Michaels and the departure of many stars in recent years such as Ronda Rousey, Brock Lesnar, Daniel Bryan, Chris Jericho , John Moxley (Dean Ambrose) and more.

This year’s WrestleMania is in the shadow of the great return of Davion Johnson, “The Rock”, to the organization as a wrestler alongside his involvement in the company’s shares. The American star will return to the ring at the age of 51 and for the first time since 2016 in the biggest event of all.
The Rock will compete in a tag team match with reigning champion Roman Reigns against Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes in the main event.
On the second night, the wrestlers will be split into singles matches for the organization’s titles. Roman Reigns the reigning champion and has held the Universal Champion title for over 1,100 days, the longest run since 1988 will face Cody Rhodes. Seth Rollins will meet Drew McKnight for the World Heavyweight Championship. In other fights, veteran wrestler Randy Orton will face an intriguing three-way battle for the US Championship against Kevin Owens and Logan Paul.
In the women’s division, Rhea Ripley will meet Becky Lynch in a battle for the women’s world championship. Lynch is Rollins’ partner in reality and is considered one of the most popular female wrestlers in the industry.
The event will be the 40th in the WrestleMania series of events. The person who may make another and surprising comeback at the event is the wrestler C. If. Punk who returned to wwe after a decade and was supposed to take part in the fights themselves but was injured and as mentioned may still be integrated into the storylines.
