The wait is almost over. WrestleMania 40 is set to light up Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia this weekend, drawing sellout crowds both nights to the home of the NFL’s Eagles. The card has been set for a while now, but fans are still curious about the match order.
For night 1, the main event is set as Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins will battle The Rock and Roman Reigns in what WWE is billing as the biggest tag team match of all time. The stakes involved are real: If Cody and Seth win, The Bloodline will be banned from ringside when Rhodes faces Reigns on night 2, but a Rock and Reigns victory mean that Sunday match will be contested under Bloodline Rules.
With that match going on last, the question is how the rest of Saturday night will shape up in front of it. In his latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required), Dave Meltzer says he knows what the plans are, with the caveat that it’s subject to change.
WrestleMania 40 night 1 rumored match order:
- Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Becky Lynch – Women’s World Championship match
- Six-Pack Tag Team Ladder match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship: The Judgment Day (Damian Priest and Finn Balor) (c) vs. #DIY vs. The Awesome Truth vs. The New Day vs. Austin Theory and Grayson Waller vs. New Catch Republic
- LWO (Andrade and Rey Mysterio) vs. Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar
- Jey Uso vs. Jimmy Uso
- Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill and Naomi vs. Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai and Kabuki Warriors)
- Gunther (c) vs. Sami Zayn – WWE Intercontinental Championship match
- Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins vs. The Bloodline (Roman Reigns and The Rock) – If Rhodes and Rollins win, The Bloodline is banned from ringside for the night 2 main event; if The Bloodline wins, the night 2 main event is Bloodline Rules
