WWE Wrestlemania 40- 6th/7th April 2024 'spoilers'

Match came alive as it went and honestly expected less out of the Rock. Taking a table bump and a spear was a surprise, bumped more as it went on. Also a bit of a cleaner finish than I would have predicted and sort of assumed Rollins was taking the pin.

Anyway overall I thought Rock looked good and wouldn't mind seeing him get another programme with someone but wonder if he could put on a singles match.

Really enjoyed that match. Apart from that and the IC title match it was poor. Crowd would want to liven up tomorrow….

Id imagine bloodline rules might also include something like no roster member can interfere on Cody's behalf ... Hence the rumours of glass shattering

First half or even two thirds of that main event was a slog to get through. Very slow, very boring.... clearly trying to lean more on the occasion and getting a reaction out of the crowd with long stare downs, and that reaction just didn't come. Picked up towards the end and the last 10-15 minutes were great.

Thought Rock looked gassed as he and Seth went into the crowd but he recovered well. He still has the best punches in the game.

As an aside, as someone who only watches maybe 2 main events a year, I'm sure the story building is why Sami Zayn is a fan favourite but from what I saw it certainly isn't down to his in-ring performance. I think he's brutal 😂

Personally I loved that tag match, Rock was surprisingly involved too given his rustiness but he did pretty well overall. He sold the spear from Roman to perfection, definitely makes me think there'll be a receipt for that soon enough, if not tomorrow.

They've done a better job this year of splitting the two cards as they stacked night 1 with most of the interesting matches to make up for the fact that night two has the big ticket main event and Seth vs. Drew. The only problem is that most of tomorrow night's card feels skippable between the WHC presumably opening the show and Cody finishing it off.

In all honesty, it could've been an epic one-night event in another era, with the tag match opening the show. Money talks though, of course.

That will hardly be a 4 hour show aswell?

Great time last night in the stadium, crowd in my section was chanting all night and big into most matches. I really underestimated the cold, it was absolutely freezing all night. Will be wrapping up much more tonight!

Does Gunther get a rematch, or is rematches only if the storyline requires?

I felt it was a flat ending to Gunther's reign ending imho

I find the ads disrespectful of the rasslers but if I were Snickers I'd not be pleased that no-one can tell the brand is sponsoring the whole show. Next step, branded ring gear.

Just a weird Wrestlemania all round so far.

I found the matches very uninteresting; they seemed rushed and a lot of botches / missed spots. Michael Cole was very annoying all night and stumbling over his words. Maybe Vince in his ear the last few decades wasn't such a bad thing. Trying to put over the Usos match as the "third time REAL brothers have faced off…". Jesus. At least attempt to protect kayfabe.

Sami / Gunther was the first match of the night with the right pacing / selling / drama. The main event was decent too but seemed all too predictable in the outcome.

Night 2 seems more about "Who's coming down to help Cody win" rather than last year's genuine "Who will actually win?". Cody taking the pin and also not appearing at all in the press conference tells all really. mod edit - betting odds removed

They look to be setting up for Rock vs Cody in Saudi or Summerslam. Roman will be sorely missed in the coming months. His mystique has led to sold-out arenas and huge matches that we just won't have if Cody is defending the belt every few weeks.
