WWE WrestleMania 40 will go down in history as one of the greatest of all time. It will also go down in history as the first WrestleMania under the full creative control of Paul “Triple H” Levesque.
Not only did this WrestleMania witness incredible support from the fans but the storylines were on fire. Bayley won the WWE Women’s Championship in what was her first singles match at ‘The Grandest Stage Of Them All’. Rhea Ripley retained her title in a dominating display against Becky Lynch.
Drew McIntyre won the World Heavyweight Title but his reign was short-lived as Damien Priest cashed in just a few minutes later to win the title. The Tag Team titles were also split, with The Awesome Truth winning the RAW titles and A-Town Down Under winning the SmackDown titles.
Logan Paul retained his US title against Kevin Owen and Randy Orton. While Sami Zayn dethroned Gunther in an incredible display of sheer resistance and willpower.
Cody Rhodes finally finished his story and ended Roman Reigns’ historic Undisputed WWE Univeral Championship reign. The main event also witnessed the return of two all-time greats, John Cena and The Undertaker.
