WrestleMania 40 is nearly here, and the milestone event is looking to live up to its “Xl” billing. Across two nights, WWE’s biggest stars will compete for glory, championships, and, perhaps, the honor of participating in one of the greatest matches in WrestleMania history. If the quality of recent WrestleMania shows is any indication, it should be a lot of fun.
Of course, none of that actually matters much if you don’t know how and when to watch WrestleMania 40 in the first place. So, here’s (hopefully) everything you need to know about the upcoming show.
WrestleMania 40: Start Time and Dates
As has been the case with recent WrestleMania shows, WrestleMania 40 will be a two-night event.

Roman Reigns has accomplished everything in WWE, from winning the WWE Championship, Universal Championship, United States, and Intercontinental Championships. He has done it all. However, one of the most controversial moments in his career would remain his win at the 2015 Royal Rumble. The moment was so bad and embarrassing that even The Tribal Chief struggled to forget it.
The Tribal Chief
While the Royal Rumble victory would have been his major stepping stone in his wrestling career, the fans did not acknowledge his massive achievement. Fans vociferously booed and jeered the winner, and to make matters worse, The People’s Champ came in front of the Philadelphia crowd to endorse Reigns. The depressed look on Reigns’ face says it as he can not ignore the reaction from the fans and act happy.

In the midst of all conversations regarding the greatest wrestlers of all time, many names often come up. However, one thing is for sure, The Undertaker will always be near the top. With a career that has spanned over three decades, 33 years to be precise, The Phenom has taken on generations of superstars, and has stayed on top of the business for a long time. However, all the good things come to an end, as he decided to hang his hat and long coat back in 2020.

Rhea Ripley stands out as one of the most powerful female wrestlers globally today. Her remarkable physique, characterized by significant muscle mass, sets her apart from the average wrestler. This impressive physique is the result of rigorous gym sessions and a disciplined diet.
Initially, Ripley’s body was noticeably leaner when she began her career, lacking the muscular definition that now defines her. Over the years, her physique has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving impressively to its current state.
Rhea Ripley’s Insane Body Transformation Is Truly Inspirational
What a difference seven years can make. The evolution of a WWE Superstar throughout their career is something fans truly appreciate, and Rhea Ripley exemplifies this notion perfectly. Her journey demonstrates that the early stages of a wrestler’s career may not accurately depict the Superstar they’ll become in the future. However, this transformation hasn’t always been smooth sailing for Ripley.

Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, is on the verge of making a comeback to the wrestling world. His match with The American Nightmare, also known as Cody Rhodes, has certainly attracted a lot of attention towards WrestleMania 40.

WWE fans are not ones to remain silent when they believe their intelligence is being mocked. And that is exactly what happened when Cody Rhodes boldly claimed to have defeated Roman Reigns and The Shield for the first time ever.
The WWE SmackDown show on March 22 concluded with Roman Reigns making an appearance in the ring. There, he claimed that Rhodes was unintelligent, unwise, and unfit to represent the company as its face. He brought up his alliance with Seth Rollins and mentioned that the latter had stabbed him in the back. In response, Rhodes recalled how he and his brother had defeated Reigns and Rollins back when they were still members of The Shield.

To argue that Rhodes had the ability to defeat him as well as his formidable team of Shield members is not only ludicrous, it’s downright disrespectful to the intelligence of the fans.

Randy Orton is a renowned American professional wrestler who played a significant role in WWE during the early 2000s. Throughout his career, he has shared the ring with wrestling icons like John Cena, Aj Styles, and The Rock, solidifying his status as a prominent figure in the world of sports entertainment.

One reason for Randy Orton’s polarizing reputation stems from his portrayal as a real-life antagonist for a significant portion of his career. Terms like juvenile, immature, and unprofessional have been associated with the Viper due to various incidents over the years. It’s worth noting that many of these occurrences took place earlier in his career when he was still maturing as an individual. In fact, Orton once spent 38 days in a military prison when he was a Marine.

That said, Paul once again made a bizarre statement, months ahead of his brother Jake Paul’s much-talked-about boxing match with the legendary “Iron” Mike Tyson. However, this time, Paul went a little overboard with his Nsfw phrasing. So, what did ‘The Maverick’ say?

John Cena certainly isn't the first wrestler to become a movie star. Hulk Hogan, Jesse Ventura, and Andre the Giant brought their muscles to the big screen decades ago. The late '90s and early 2000s saw Bill Goldberg and Dwayne Johnson enter the fray, with the latter becoming one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, and he's still going strong. But it wouldn't be until the likes of Dave Bautista and John Cena that we'd get a pair of wrestlers who truly stepped into the world of acting without relying mostly on their muscular presence to do the heavy lifting on the big screen for them, both literally and figuratively.
Dave Bautista has proven to be a reliable supporting star in the superhero blockbuster franchise "Guardians of the Galaxy," but he's also delivered more haunting turns in the likes of "Blade Runner 2049," "Dune," and M. Night Shyamalan's "Knock at the Cabin.

Professional wrestling has seen the rise and fall of many over the years, but very few have actually managed to leave a mark or become the face of the sport. Roman Reigns has managed to achieve both within a short span of time. The American professional has reached the pinnacle of success, and he is still going strong. As a professional, he now reigns at the top as one of the highest-paid wrestlers around at present.
The wrestler’s real name is Joseph Leati Anoa’i, but he took on the mantle of Roman Reigns because he became a bit of a villain as he was making his way up the ladder in the world of wrestling. After going pro in 2010, Reigns has carved out a niche for himself in the wrestling ring.

As is the case with Roman Reigns in modern WWE, sometimes a champion’s reign lasts way too long. But the opposite can also be true. Somebody could get a big title win and only hold onto the belt for a few weeks, possibly even days, before being forced back to square one. For one reason or another, there are a select group of wrestlers in WWE who dropped the title way earlier than they should have.
On this list of wrestlers who needed more time with their championships, we will not be including those who were forced to vacate due to injury. It seems too easy an answer, so here’s an honorable mention for Finn Balor, Daniel Bryan, Edge, and the rest of the champs who had to vacate the belt for physical reasons.

It feels kind of weird including him on this...

Welcome to this review of this past Friday’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown, right here on Nerdly. Let’s see what went down on this week’s show!
Match #1: Tiffany Stratton def. Liv Morgan The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Seconds after driving Liv Morgan into the SmackDown announce table, Tiffany Stratton disrespected Bianca Belair with a slap as The Est of WWE was watching the match at ringside. The irate Belair climbed up to the apron, only to inadvertently delay the official’s ability to count Morgan’s pin attempt. When Stratton kicked out, Morgan’s momentum caused her to accidentally knock Belair off the apron, allowing Tiffany to roll up Liv for an enormous win prior to her Elimination Chamber Match against Morgan, Belair, Becky Lynch, Naomi and Raquel Rodriguez.
My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: Bron Breakker def. Dante Chen The following is courtesy of wwe.

True enough, that is the story’s headline. John Cena recently signed up for a free OnlyFans account in an attempt to promote Ricky Stanicky, the upcoming Peter Farrelly flick. Well, this move to join the popular subscription-based platform led to a mix of excitement, interest, and even skepticism among fans.
Another WWE legend appears to be wanting to join in on the fun now. Surprisingly enough, Randy Orton extended a formal invitation to collaborate with Cena on OnlyFans. Fans were giddy with excitement and anticipation for what might lie ahead for these two legendary wrestlers after The Viper made an unexpected gesture. Orton, 43, offered his services in a post on X. And you can expect to see the two work together in the future, as Cena, 46, appeared receptive.

Maybe you can’t see John Cena but it’s hard to turn a blind eye to the accusations of battery and trafficking against former WWE head Vince McMahon that ultimately saw him resigning from his position at Tko. And while Cena may not be outright ignoring the alleged incidents, he is still showing his support for his former boss.
Speaking with Howard Stern this week, Cena said of the McMahon situation, “I don’t think it’s complicated to talk about…I think it’s complicated to listen to. That’s kinda why I don’t necessarily put a lot of time and equity into it. Again, there’s still a long ways to go. I can say this, I’m a big advocate of love and friendship and honesty and communication. But in the same breath, I’m also a big advocate of accountability.” Adding to this, Cena...
