As WrestleMania 40 approaches, the card nears completion, with a long list of matches set to unfold during the two-night extravaganza at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. WWE’s plans potentially shape this to be the biggest edition of the Grandest Stage of Them All, as some of the top talent of the past and present will compete and create moments to last a lifetime.
With so many planned matches, not all of them will be on one night, which is how it used to be. It gives each match more breathing room, rather than packing a bunch of short matches across just one night.
Night 1 of WrestleMania takes place on Saturday, April 6, headlined by Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns and The Rock, who will compete in his first full match in more than a decade.

This monumental tag match has night 2 implications as if Rhodes and Rollins win, tall members of The Bloodline will be banned from ringside for Rhodes vs. Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. If Reigns and The Rock win, the title match is Bloodline Rules, allowing anyone from Solo Sikoa to Jimmy Uso to interfere.
WWE also confirmed that Gunther will defend his Intercontinental Championship on night 1 against Sami Zayn, as well. With the Imperium leader’s record-breaking title run on the line, it could mark a historic moment for the Canadian star’s career if he wins.
WrestleMania night 1 goes down on Saturday, April 6 from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
