The 40th edition of the Showcase of the Immortals is almost upon us, as Lincoln Financial Field is getting ready to host WrestleMania XL this weekend. WWE is on fire right now, which should make this year’s show one to remember in front of a packed house in Philadelphia.
At the heart of this year’s show, just like last year in L.A., is Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Yet even though Rhodes lost at the previous WrestleMania largely due to the interference of The Bloodline, he might have an even harder road to “finish the story” this time around.
That’s because he will also be in the main event on night 1, teaming with Seth Rollins against Reigns and The Rock. If Rhodes and Rollins lose, Cody will have to compete on night 2 under Bloodline Rules, meaning anything goes. The Rock has already made it clear he’ll be taking full advantage of the stipulation if it ends up in place.
Eleven other matches split over April 6-7 speak to the strength that WWE is exhibiting at the current time, as it’s hard to find a snoozer on this year’s card. If you’re headed to Philadelphia in person, there’s plenty for you to enjoy even before the weekend.
If you’re looking forward to watching at home instead, here’s everything you need to know to watch all the action live.
