We’re about to witness the biggest wrestling event ever, WrestleMania 40. This event will bring together famous wrestlers from today and the past, setting up dream matches that fans have always wished for. It might even be the end of Roman Reigns’ legendary run as the top star in WWE. There’s also a lot of buzz about whether The Rock and CM Punk will show up, making everyone really excited.

Women’s Matches
Iyo Sky is going to defend her WWE Women’s Championship against Bayley, who got her chance by winning the Royal Rumble. This fight is interesting because Iyo and Bayley used to be on the same team, Damage CTRL.
In another exciting match, Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley will face whoever wins a tough steel cage match at Elimination Chamber. Stars like Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, and Becky Lynch are all hoping to be that winner.
World Heavyweight Championship
A surprise injury has caused the cancellation of the match between CM Punk and Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL. A new match at Elimination Chamber 2024 will pick Rollins’ new opponent, with Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton looking like the main contenders. Rollins is also injured and won’t be in the Elimination Chamber match, but he’s still planning to fight for his title at WrestleMania.
Roman Reigns’ Challenger
Cody Rhodes has been chosen to fight Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship after winning the Royal Rumble. The original idea was to have a match between Roman Reigns and The Rock, focusing on their family legacy. But plans changed after fans didn’t like the idea, leading to Cody facing Roman again, which might end Roman’s more than three-year reign as the top star.
The Rock’s Role
With The Rock’s match against Roman Reigns off the table, what he’ll do at WrestleMania 40 is still a mystery. He might team up with Roman Reigns for a big match against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, or he could play a key role in the title fight between Roman and Cody, possibly changing the outcome. We’ll know more about The Rock’s plans after he shows up on an upcoming SmackDown episode.
WrestleMania XL will happen on April 6 and 7 at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is the first WrestleMania after WWE joined TKO Corporation due to a merger with Endeavor.
