The wrestling rumor mill, also known as the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, has spilled the beans on what’s shaping up to be a WrestleMania 40 card so stacked, it could double as a superhero convention. With matchups confirmed that are sure to make fans’ heads spin faster than a luchador in a hurricane, here’s the lowdown on what to expect:
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are set to turn Night Two into their own personal drama series, battling it out for the Undisputed Universal Championship in what’s expected to be a clash of titanic egos and muscle. But before that soap opera unfolds, “The American Nightmare” teams up with Seth Rollins to face Reigns and his cousin, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, in a tag team spectacle that promises more family drama than a Thanksgiving dinner.
Rollins, not content with just one night of glory, will also put his WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Drew McIntyre on Sunday, in a match that’s sure to have more tension than a season finale cliffhanger.
The women’s division is not to be outdone, with Bayley setting her sights on IYO SKY’s WWE Women’s Championship, while Becky Lynch aims to end Rhea Ripley’s reign of terror as the Women’s World Champion. Meanwhile, Sami Zayn is on a quest to topple Gunther’s historic Intercontinental Title run, and Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and Logan Paul will tussle for the United States Championship in a match that’s got more star power than a Hollywood walk of fame.
In the realm of family feuds, Jimmy and Jey Uso are scheduled to go head-to-head in singles action, because nothing says “family gathering” like a wrestling match. AJ Styles and LA Knight will finally settle their beef in a match that’s been brewing longer than grandma’s secret recipe chili.
On the tag team front, Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar are joining forces to face Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio in a match that’s sure to have more flips than a pancake house on a Sunday morning. Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair, and Naomi are teaming up to take on Damage CTRL in a bout that promises more action than a blockbuster movie.
And in what’s being whispered as a Philadelphia Street Fight, Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits will square off against Karrion Kross and The Authors of Pain, in a match that’s guaranteed to be messier than a cheesesteak eating contest.
Rounding off the speculation, Pretty Deadly might just add their flair to the multi-team ladder match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship, joining an already crowded field that reads like a who’s who of tag team wrestling.
So, there you have it, folks. WrestleMania 40 is shaping up to be the event where drama and spandex collide in epic showdowns. Get your popcorn ready, because this is one wrestling bonanza you won’t want to miss!
