Let's Talk About | WrestleMania 40


Triple H kicked off Night One of WrestleMania 40.

Rhea Ripley defeated Becky Lynch to remain the Women's World Champion, this was a quality match to start off Night One in a cold Philadelphia. 

Austin Theory & Grayson Waller & The Miz & R-Truth won the Tag Team Championships, The belts will now be on separate brands going forward. 

Rey Mysterio & Andrade defeated Santos Escobar & Dominik Mysterio, this was an unexpected result, the thought here was that Carlito was going to turn against his fellow LWO crew, which never happened. 

Jey Uso defeated Jimmy Uso, YEET! now that the match is over, it's time for the brothers to reunite again, this may be a very unpopular opinion for some. 

Shoutout to Bianca, Jade & Naomi, they defeated the great team of Dakota Kai, Asuka & Kairi Sane, this was a very impressive debut by Cargill, she put her skills, strength and power on display here, the hairwhip from Bianca to Asuka was loud, the crowd reacted well to it, looking forward to watching what is next for the winning trio. 

Sami talked to Chad Gable before his opportunity for the Intercontinental Championship against Gunther, Sami was then met by Kevin Owens before going out to the ring, his family was ringside for this match. He kicked out of Powerbombs from Gunther, Sami somehow rejuvenated himself and won the Championship, congratulations to him, whilst the Ring General's 666 Day reign is over. 

The Rock & Roman Reigns defeated Seth Rollins & Cody Rhodes in the main event, Roman speared Rock inadvertently during the match, would that play a part on the close of night two? The WrestleMania Night Two Main Event stipulation was going to be Bloodline Rules. 

Stephanie McMahon kicked off Night Two.

Drew McIntyre won the World Heavyweight Championship in front of a LIVE crowd, Seth was visibly upset after the loss, CM Punk attacked Drew during their confrontation. 

Damian Priest ran down to cash in on Drew to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Congratulations to him. 

Snoop Dogg was on commentary for the next match, where Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits defeated The Final Testament in a Philadelphia Street Fight, Bubba Ray Dudley was the guest referee. 

LA Knight defeated AJ Styles, this was his first win at WrestleMania. YEAH!

Logan Paul successfully defended the United States Championship against Randy Orton & Kevin Owens, iShowSpeed was the person in the Prime Bottle costume and was RKO''d on the announce table.

Congratulations to Bayley on winning the WWE Women's Championship against former Damage CTRL team mate Iyo Sky. 

The main event of WrestleMania was the very much anticipated rematch, Roman Reigns versus Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, Jimmy and Jey fought each other during the match, Solo attempted to help Roman like last year, John Cena ran down to even things up, he put Solo through the announce table, The Rock's confrontation with John Cena was a great WrestleMania Moment, hearing The Shield's music wasn't on the bingo card, however, Undertaker making an appearance was, there's no WrestleMania without the Phenom. 

Rhodes was left in the ring with Roman, The Tribal Chief hit Rollins with a steel chair as payback for what happened all those years ago. Rhodes avoided getting hit by the spear and he hit multiple Cross Rhodes for the win, he celebrated with his fans, family and various superstars and Triple H.

Roman's title reign was and will always be The Greatest Of All Time. 

Cody Rhodes has "finished the story" and is the new Champion. 

Now what??
