The WrestleMania 40 main event delivered in every possible way

Pro wrestling at its finest in every aspect? We experienced it when Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns met at WrestleMania 40.

Professional wrestling is so many things. But at its core, it is beautiful.

Its beauty lies in its action, its drama, its emotions.

Professional wrestling’s beauty lies on the faces of thousands of fans cheering on their heroes and booing their villains.

And there was no better showcase for how beautiful wrestling can be than Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field. That’s because more than 70,000 people gathered in South Philadelphia to see one thing: the climax of Cody Rhodes’ story.

But the beautiful thing about professional wrestling was that it wasn’t just about Rhodes’ story. There were others, and they all culminated in the most climactic main event in WrestleMania history.

WWE didn’t have to promote Sunday’s match as the “biggest in WrestleMania history” like Vince McMahon did two years ago. The fans’ desire to watch Rhodes defeat Roman Reigns was the only indication anyone needed.

Once the bell rang, WWE delivered.

The main event of WrestleMania 40 was everything it should have been and more. There were cameos from recurring characters throughout the story, call backs to key moments from the past, and there was even a surprise or two.

When Rhodes pinned Reigns to become the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, there was a release of emotions from everyone inside Lincoln Financial Field and from wrestling fans across the world. 

That is because on Sunday, April 7, 2024, everything the wrestling world had ever hoped for had been fulfilled. They had received or been a part of one of the most storybook endings in WrestleMania history. 

If it were an action movie from the 1980s, it may have ended with a freeze frame. While that may sound grossly cliche, it is the type of ending wrestling fans yearn for on an annual basis. They got their wish Sunday night.

The main event of WrestleMania 40 was professional wrestling executed at its highest level. It’s was what professional wrestling is all about.

What is professional wrestling about?

Professional wrestling is about the journey. It is about telling the story of two men who wrapped themselves in their respective family’s wrestling traditions, but for two very different reasons.

On one side was the prodigal son, who returned to the place where he had a prophecy to fulfill: win the title his father never could.

He came within seconds of accomplishing his goal last year, only to have it snatched away from him.

But like any hero, he dusted himself off and fought his way back.

He overcame obstacle after obstacle in order to find his way back to the same spot he was in one year ago: the main event of WrestleMania.

On the other side was the tyrannical villain, whose motives are rooted in providing for his family — or in this case, his tribe. For 1,316 days, he ruled WWE with an iron fist, running through anyone who threatened his position at the summit of the industry, including his own family if necessary.

However, he always made sure that the family had his back, including the ones with even more influence within the company than him.

It’s just that his villainous ways may have cost him in the end.

Professional wrestling is about setting that hero and that villain on a collision course that culminates at the biggest event of the year — twice. It is about living vicariously through all of the characters involved and hoping each of them receive what they have coming to them.

Professional wrestling at its best was on full display Sunday night.

Professional wrestling is beautiful.

Professional wrestling is back in WWE.

WrestleMania 40 Night 2 reactions: Cody Rhodes finally finishes his story

Rob Wolkenbrod offers up his breakdown of Night 2 of WrestleMania 40 from Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, PA. — Night 2 was poised to be the climax of WrestleMania weekend for WWE, marking the culmination of numerous storylines. However, the focus leading into the weekend was squarely on one man, Cody Rhodes. The question loomed large: Would he finally achieve his long-awaited goal of finishing his story? As WrestleMania Sunday began, all eyes focused on Rhodes as he prepared to potentially etch his name in wrestling history.

With Bloodline Rules in play, along with Roman Reigns‘ dominance atop WWE for three years, it clouded whether WrestleMania 40 would culminate Rhodes’ journey to the top. But it happened anyway as the American Nightmare ended a modern-day record title run to begin his own, featuring surprise help from Seth Rollins, John Cena and The Undertaker to counter The Bloodline.

Night 2 featured surprises, once-in-a-lifetime moments, and some fun in-ring work, as analyzed by our own Rob Wolkenbrod in a special breakdown of WrestleMania 40’s second night.

Rollins and Drew McIntyre opened WrestleMania with eclectic entrances and a dramatic, hard-hitting match for the World Heavyweight Championship. While the Scottish Warrior seemingly secured his long-awaited WrestleMania moment in front of an audience, Damian Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to spoil the celebrations, courtesy of CM Punk laying the foundation for this moment to happen.

AJ Styles might have won the battle by flying around the world to cost him a World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania, but LA Knight won the war on Sunday night. It opens an avenue for the Megastar to return to the cusp of the main event scene and potentially become a Money in the Bank favorite this summer.

Meanwhile, after years of waiting, Bayley finally had her WrestleMania moment by defeating IYO SKY in a fun back-and-forth match for the WWE Women’s Championship. Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks all received their spotlight once upon a time on the Grandest Stage of Them All, so it was only appropriate for Bayley to become immortalized as well.

Watch: Samantha Irvin’s emotional call of Cody Rhodes’ WrestleMania win is everything

Irvin’s announcement of Cody Rhodes as the new champion to end WrestleMania 40 is the stuff goosebumps are made of.

It’s clear to anyone who watched Cody Rhodes culminate his journey (because we’re thinking he’s heard “finish his story” enough to last several lifetimes) in the main event of WrestleMania 40 Sunday that it was an emotional night for him. After defeating Roman Reigns, Rhodes got visibly choked up during the post-show press conference, and it’s not hard to understand why.

The wrestlers who spilled into the ring to celebrate with Rhodes after the final bell all appeared legitimately happy to see him with the world championship his famous father never quite obtained. And even other important WWE figures were on the ride with him.

Case in point: ring announcer Samantha Irvin. At the end of a long weekend for her — she announced every match over both nights in Philadelphia — Irvin’s voice was cracking with emotion when she announced Rhodes as the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

Hearing is one thing, though, and seeing is another. Check out this ringside footage of Irvin making her call and tell us that it doesn’t tug at your heartstrings just a little.

That’s as real as it gets, and a great summation of the way so many were feeling watching Rhodes accomplish his dream.

The Undertaker, John Cena create wonderful chaos in WrestleMania 40 main event

Cody Rhodes had the help of The Undertaker and John Cena in the raucous main event of WrestleMania 40.

Philadelphia, Pa. — When The Rock teased surprises for the main event of WrestleMania Night 2 at the Night 1 press conference, it caused a bit of a stir. A chaotic, overbooked match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes had been expected, but to outward hint at that happening … well, it raised an eyebrow.

Yet sure enough, bout 20 minutes in, the match began to break down. Jimmy Uso interfered first, which brought Jey Uso to the entrance ramp to spear his brother off the stage. Solo Sikoa followed soon after to aid Reigns, and then the match erupted.

John Cena‘s music blared throughout Lincoln Financial Field as he ran to the aid of Rhodes. Given his storyline issues with The Bloodline, most recently Sikoa, it seemed logical.

Once Cena knocked out the Enforcer, The Rock became the main event’s next entrant. He stared the 16-time world champion down in the middle of the ring, bringing the crowd to its feet to witness two icons go face to face. It ended quickly, however, as the Brahma Bull planted him with a Rock Bottom.

That brought a Shield version of Seth Rollins out next, but his attempt to help ended quickly.

If you’re a fan of plot twists, the next and final person to enter the fray fit the bill spectacularly. A familiar, ominous gong played, the lights went out, and in the middle of the ring, The Undertaker popped up and chokeslammed The Rock. And just as quickly as The Dead Man arrived, he left, taking The People’s Champ with him. Rhodes pinned Reigns with multiple Cross Rhodes moments later to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

While not the “Stone Cold” Steve Austin appearance fans speculated about, The Undertaker and The Rock still have a history dating back 20-plus years. It still pitted old foes — two legends — in the ring to create a moment that captivated the venue.

Cena and The Undertaker added to a special night for Rhodes and an overall grand weekend for WWE. They helped put over the magnitude of the main event, creating moments to remember.

WrestleMania 40 results: Story finished as Cody Rhodes topples Roman Reigns

In a match full of drama and guest stars, Cody Rhodes pinned Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 40.

What awaits us as Cody Rhodes attempts to finish his story again? A pretty theatric entrance for one, with Cody rising from the floor wearing a mask and wife Brandi briefly joining him. The fans are as enthusiastic as one would expect but there seems to be some nervous energy too. The announcers remind us he’s not 100% and he’s facing Bloodline Rules tonight.

A choir and orchestra are out on stage for Roman Reigns as he makes his walk. Only Paul Heyman is with him … for now. Pat McAfee is acknowledging Reigns at the announce table. Samantha Irvin does the in-ring intros and away we go.

Both men take some time to soak in the crowd reaction once the bell rings. They have a brief staredown and then are ready to get it on. Reigns scoffs at the first attempts to lock up, and he puts a finger in the air the first time he gets in any offense.

Cody hits his dropdown punch and sends Roman hard into the post for the first real damage of the match. Knowing he can use weapons too, Rhodes goes under the ring for a table; Reigns hits the Drive-By and puts the table back under the ring, much to the dismay of the fans.

Reigns is sent into the steel steps, but he pops back up with a kendo stick and immediately puts it to good use. Roman riles up the crowd, talking to them as Cody writhes on the mat. But his next swing is a big miss, and Rhodes pulls off a bulldog.

Cody locks on a Figure Four, but Reigns gouges his eyes to escape. Roman gets in a few shots before hurling the challenger back to the floor. A big Prime bottle is used as a weapon, and they head over the barricade into the crowd.

They end up on an elevated platform in the crowd, and while Reigns wants a suplex, Rhodes reverses it into a suplex of his own. Back in the ring, Rhodes tries for a Cody Cutter but is caught and planted with a Last Ride powerbomb.

“This is my company you little bitch,” Reigns yells as he continues to press his attack. He drags Rhodes to the mat with a neck hold, still talking trash. Reigns goes for and hits a Perfect Plex (yes, really) and gets a two count.

Backed into the corner, Reigns peppers Rhodes with short lariats. They trade kicks and end up going for simultaneous clotheslines. They rise together and trade more shots.

Cody gets the best of that exchange, continuing his flurry to a powerslam. He fires himself up and nails the Disaster Kick, good for a near fall.

Reigns pulls off Cody’s finisher, the Cross Rhodes, forcing Cody to kick out at two. Roman misses a Superman punch and eats a bunch of punches and a Bionic Elbow.

With Reigns rolling to the floor, Rhodes has a moment to think. He clears off the announce table, but Roman greets him with a low blow. A powerbomb sends Rhodes through the table, but Rhodes manages to kick out at two once he’s rolled back into the ring.

A Spear attempt is answered by a knee, then a Cody Cutter. Cody covers but only gets a two count. He looks for a Cross Rhodes, but ends up hitting a Spear for his own near fall.

Cody hits a Cross Rhodes, but his attempt at a second is spoiled by Jimmy Uso and a superkick. “Yeet” chants are ringing out, hoping for Jey Uso. Reigns hits a Superman punch but stops as Jey comes out. The Usos battle on the ramp until Jey tackles his twin and sends them flying off the ramp through tables on the floor.

Meanwhile back in the ring, Reigns hits a Spear and can’t believe when it’s only two. The two combatants are back on the floor, where Rhodes spears Reigns through the barricade. “A little of his own medicine,” yells Michael Cole.

“This is awesome” chants ring out as Rhodes pounds the mat like he’s calling for an RKO. It’s Cross Rhodes: once, twice but not three times because of Solo Sikoa. A Samoan Spike allows Solo to pull Roman over Cody for a pin, but Rhodes gets his shoulder up at two.

Sikoa is livid and pounds Rhodes with right hands. “Finish him!” he yells at his cousin. Reigns hits a huge Spear with a Samoan Spike, yet Rhodes kicks out again.

John Cena’s music hits and he sprints to the ring, sort of. He thrashes Sikoa and hits the AA on Reigns, then sends Sikoa through the Spanish announce table with another AA.

That in turn brings out The Rock. The Final Boss comes to the ring to confront Cena in a throwback to WrestleManias past. The crowd loves this showdown of middle aged stars, but The Rock strikes with a Rock Bottom while cursing liberally.

The Rock takes off his weight belt when The Shield music hits. Seth Rollins comes to the ring in his old gear, which the cameraman misses. Reigns sees him coming and smashes him with a Superman punch.

The lights go out, The Undertaker’s gong hits, and the Dead Man is in the ring behind The Rock. He delivers a chokeslam and the lights go out, and both Taker and The Rock are gone.

Everyone is gone now, except for Rollins. That’s bad news for Seth, who takes a chair shot from the Tribal Chief. That’s enough of a delay for Rhodes to recover, and he hits the three Cross Rhodes in a row.

Cody covers and he’s actually done it. Story finished.

WrestleMania 40 results: Bayley finds redemption, winning gold from IYO SKY

Bayley won the WWE Women’s Championship from her former teammate in an impressive match at WrestleMania 40.

Bayley has an Egyptian motif for her ring walk, as well as a new theme that sounds like a remix on the original Damage CTRL music. IYO SKY has a hyper version of her usual entrance, and while her teammates accompany her to the stage, they don’t come to ringside.

What starts as a few lockups spills to the floor, where SKY is fine with turning it to strikes instead. Back in the ring, the champ yells but runs into trouble by the ropes. Bayley launches into a nice suicide dive that is right on target. She rolls SKY back inside and covers for two.

Bayley misses a baseball slide kick and gets her right knee smashed into the post, followed by a leglock that tortures that same knee. The announcers frame this battle as one of familiarity born from their time together as teammates.

The crowd starts singing Bayley’s traditional song as the fight goes toward the timekeeper’s area, where Bayley catches SKY coming off the barricade and slams her onto the floor. A running knee is on target for Bayley before she fires away with punches in the corner.

A side slam puts SKY down, and Bayley earns another near fall. But IYO takes back momentum and nails a moonsault to the floor, yelling out in triumph again. A missile dropkick and a kick to the back of the neck are next, but Bayley kicks out at two.

Bayley is selling the pain to her knee, but she’s still able to execute a sunset flip powerbomb and use a small package for a near fall. SKY fires back with a bridging German suplex, then another in impressive fashion even though it’s only good for two.

SKY wants a moonsault but catches knees, though Bayley maybe shouldn’t have used her knees that way. The challenger tries for a top rope elbow, but SKY moves and applies a crossface. Bayley pivots for a pinning predicament that makes the champ break the hold, but SKY reapplies it seconds later.

Bayley is dragged back to the center of the ring, where SKY switches to an STF. Hopping on one leg once she frees herself, Bayley nails the Bayley-to-Belly and still can’t keep the champ down for three.

A quick conversation while they’re locked up ends when SKY blasts Bayley with a forearm. Bayley slaps the champ and gets slapped even harder in return. They stand and trade, with SKY rolling up Bayley for two and adding more punishment on top of it.

SKY hits the Over the Moonsault and covers, and even Michael Cole is glad Bayley manages to kick out. Bayley shrugs off a moonsault and hits the Rose Plant, but SKY more or less no sells it.

Bayley is feeling the energy from the crowd, hitting a side suplex and following with a top rope elbow. A second Rose Plant is on the mark, and Bayley has done it.

WrestleMania 40 results: Logan Paul outfoxes KO, RKO for prime victory

The odds were against him, but Logan Paul retained his United States Championship at WrestleMania 40.

Always one to make an entrance, Logan Paul rides to the ring on a giant Prime bottle in the back of an enormous six-wheeled Prime truck. A Prime bottle mascot also bops down the ramp, and we’ll see if it’s once again KSI.

Sami Zayn greets Kevin Owens on the way out the curtain with a simple message: “Your turn now.” He walks out, sees the Prime truck, goes back and gets a “KO” golf cart and crotch chops the truck.

When Randy Orton is ready for his entrance, Owens backs up the cart and offers the Viper a ride. Randy can be seen telling KO to slow down as they fly down the ramp.

Paul is being chased by both challengers right off the bat, and he finds no refuge out on the floor. The Prime Hydration Station is in the line of fire as well, but when the fight returns to the ring, Paul pushed Owens into Orton and tries to get them to turn on each other.

Narrator: It does not work.

Alas, Orton sees a chance to go for an RKO on Owens and is sheepish when Owens fights it off. They discuss it briefly and decide to start throwing hands. Paul naturally takes advantage of the other two fighting and moves in to try to pick their bones, one at a time.

Owens gets both of the others into one corner, hitting a double cannonball. He tries for a Swanton but Paul gets his knees up.

Pau connects on his own Swanton, then rolls through to splash Orton for a near fall. Logan and Randy start trading uppercuts, with the champ getting the best of the exchange.

But Paul ends up getting tossed to the floor, leaving Orton free to powerslam KO. Paul wants a Buckshot, but his unsure footing allows Orton the time to powerslam him too.

Orton hits the vintage DDT on both of his foes, but they recover quickly for a sequence of counters, leading to a Codebreaker on Orton and senton on Paul that gives Owens a near fall. To the corner they go, with KO eventually hitting a moonsault on Paul for a two count.

Orton hits an RKO on Owens and it’s still not enough. Now it’s a right hand from Paul with the brass knux, and the Maverick is befuddled when Orton kicks out at 2.99. Owens tries to come back in and gets hit by two brass knux shots.

Picking Orton back up, Paul wants a big swing with the knux and eats an RKO instead. The Prime battle unmasks, but it’s not KSI this time, it’s IShowSpeed. Orton is unamused and kicks him, strips the bottle costume off him and RKOs him on the announce table.

The distraction did its job, though, as Paul sneaks up and runs Orton into the post. Owens has recovered as well, hitting Paul with a Popup Powerbomb and Orton with a Stunner, and he covers Randy for two.

Orton counters a Popup Powerbomb with an RKO, but he’s quickly thrown to the floor. Paul hits a frog splash and covers Orton, and that’s enough to finally finish things.

WWE Money in the Bank winners — Every briefcase winner and how they fared when cashing in

Check out the complete history of WWE Money in the Bank winners, including every briefcase winner and how they fared when cashing in.

Originally the brainchild of Chris Jericho, the Money in the Bank Ladder Match has gone from being an entertaining gimmick match to one of the most anticipated subplots of any WWE calendar year. It’s changed and expanded to multiple brands and the women’s division, and become the focus of its own event, joining the likes of WrestleMania, Royal Rumble and SummerSlam as one of the most important that WWE puts on.

At its core, however, is a simple and compelling idea: Whoever outfights and outwits a group of hungry competitors and grabs the namesake briefcase has a guaranteed title shot they can use any time, any place, for one year. It’s the WWE’s equivalent of a golden ticket, and the anticipation for when a briefcase might get cashed in has become drama in its own right.

As Money in the Bank has risen in prominence, its history has grown as well. Let’s take a look at a complete history of WWE Money in the Bank winners, including how the winners fared when they eventually cashed in their contracts.

WrestleMania 40 results: Drew McIntyre wins, then loses World title

Drew McIntyre got the moment he wanted at WrestleMania 40 against Seth Rollins … but it was fleeting.

A host of bagpipers play Drew McIntyre to the ring, and he looks ready to go while Michael Cole reminds viewers that he was the man who injured special guest commentator CM Punk. Seth Rollins has a Philadelphia Mummers Day band play his theme, which is pretty cool, though the Scottish Warrior looks unamused.

McIntyre hits an immediate Claymore when the bell rings, covers and darn near wins it. Rollins rolls out to the floor, but McIntyre pursues him and throws him into the barricade. Drew takes some time to jump on social media (we presume) for a second thanks to someone’s phone at ringside before he continues to press his assault. Rollins is able to hit a Pedigree on the floor, then follows up with a stomp for a near fall in the ring.

Maybe McIntyre shouldn’t have stopped to jaw with Punk. But he gets back in the saddle with a back drop, hitting Seth where he’s taped up after his Night 1 match. They trade blows until McIntyre hits the Glasgow Kiss, then a backbreaker.

A kip up has McIntyre back on his feet, but Rollins counters his Claymore attempt with another Pedigree/Stomp combo. Drew is able to kick out again at two. A series of counters leads to the Future Shock DDT, with Rollins barely able to kick out at two.

The fans start a “this is awesome” chant as McIntyre plots his next move. Drew mocks Punk by making the go to sleep motion, but Rollins is able to counter with a roll-up for a near fall. McIntyre comes right back with a Claymore, yet somehow Rollins kicks out.

Punk mocks McIntyre for clearing off the announce table. Rollins is hoisted up but wriggles free, and the Spanish announce table, giving Seth a running start for a Stomp on the English table. Rollins is selling damage to his knee, though he still kicks out after McIntyre nails yet another Claymore.

Now seething, McIntyre nonetheless focuses in the corner, and he connects on the Claymore again to win his first world championship in front of fans. On his way out of the ring, Rollins appears to say “you f–king deserve it” to McIntyre.

McIntyre makes his way over to the announce table to talk to Punk, who claims he can’t hear him with his headphones on. Punk finally has enough and takes his arm brace off, smashing McIntyre with it.

As if on cue, Damian Priest sprints down, hits McIntyre in the head with his MITB briefcase and tells the ref he’s cashing in. Priest hits the South of Heaven and gets the pin, winning the title as McIntyre is in misery and Punk laughs.

WrestleMania 40 Night 2 results: Cody Rhodes gets the help he needs to defeat Roman Reigns

See how WrestleMania 40 came to its conclusion with all the results from Night 2.

When last we saw Cody Rhodes, he was looking glum. And why not? He and Seth Rollins had just lost the most significant tag team match in WrestleMania history, one that made the likelihood of Rhodes never hearing the phrase “finish the story” again that much more unlikely.

But that was Saturday and this is Sunday, and there’s still hope that Rhodes can regain control of his narrative in the main event of WrestleMania Night 2 in Philadelphia. He’ll have to overcome Roman Reigns despite the match being contested under Bloodline Rules, which means The Rock, fresh off scoring the pinfall on Night 1, is virtually guaranteed to get involved.

Fighting back will probably mean getting some help, whether it’s from the likes of Jey Uso and Sami Zayn or WWE legends who have a bone to pick with Reigns and The Rock. There’s also a chance Reigns may have an ace up his sleeve, but however it plays out, it should be wild and entertaining.

It might not be as enjoyable for Rollins, seeing as he has to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against a very locked in Drew McIntyre. Will the Scottish Warrior win the title he craves and be able to let the world know his way was the right way?

Another emotional high point should be the WWE Women’s Championship match between IYO SKY and Bayley. While fans are heavily invested in Cody’s journey, they’ve become quite attached to Bayley’s narrative as well. It’s hard to not relate to people you thought you could trust stabbing you in the back, and while that’s standard pro wrestling fare at this point, it’s become especially poignant in the case of Damage CTRL.

We’re ready with people in the press box at the Linc, in the crowd and watching at home, so let’s do this.
