The Road to WrestleMania is almost at the doorstep of its highly-anticipated destination. The 40th anniversary of the biggest WWE Premium Live Event already looks star-studded from head to toe. With Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson taking over Mania as ‘The Final Boss’, expectations for WrestleMania XL are already skyrocketing.

This year’s Mania event will be special because of several reasons. It includes the return of WrestleMania Axxess as WWE World and the continuation of the prestigious WWE Slammy Awards. On top of it, both the nights will have a main event everyone’s eyes are glued to. Here is all you need to know about WrestleMania XL and how you can enjoy it.

The dazzling city of Philadelphia will be playing the host of WrestleMania XL at the Lincoln Financial Field. The event will take place on April 6 and 7. Philadelphia will also host the WWE World events at the Pennsylvania Convention Center which will welcome fans to the largest and most iconic WWE Superstore. This is the second time WrestleMania will take place in Philadelphia after 1999

The WWE Slammy Awards will be given away on April 7. The winners will be chosen via fan votes and the WWE Universe can vote for their favorite moments and superstars via the social media handles of WWE. While a sizeable crowd will show up in Philadelphia to watch WrestleMania XL, fans can also enjoy the adrenaline from their homes.

Where can you stream the action of WrestleMania XL?

As always, the WWE Network will be the one-stop streaming solution for all of its Premium Live Events. The WWE Universe can also catch the live coverage on WWE’s US streaming partner Peacock. Fans joining from the UK can stream WrestleMania XL live on TNT Sports Box Office. The location factor won’t be an issue for anybody who will tune into the WWE Network.

The timings of WrestleMania XL are 7 PM EST and 4 PM PT. It will be midnight in the UK. 

The schedule for WrestleMania XL has a lot to offer this year. Starting right from the WWE World events, fans will be a part of a round table discussion with Superstars currently dominating the locker room. Moreover, several legends will also increase the magnitude of the event with their presence. 

The tickets for WrestleMania XL are available as a two-day combo and fans can also choose to witness the action for just one day. The ticket sales are thriving. Just like the Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia, Triple H will announce the gigantic fan attendance during the event. 

Freshly retired Philadelphia Eagles giant Jason Kelce will attend WrestleMania XL, invited by WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio to receive a special Lucha mask, promising one of the year’s biggest matches for Kelce and the WWE Universe.

The Women’s division to continue its reign at WrestleMania XL

The Road to WrestleMania XL has been building up to several iconic and long-awaited matches this year. The second iteration of the Roman Reigns versus Cody Rhodes match definitely has a lot of eyes. However, the WWE Women’s division seems to be having an electricity of its own.

So far, the night one and night two categorizations of the WrestleMania XL matches haven’t been released. But, the mighty star power wave of Rhea Ripley will continue its momentous run from Australia to Philadelphia.

She will be facing Becky Lynch for her prestigious WWE Women’s Championship.

Bayley, the leader of Iyo Sky‘s former faction, will challenge Sky for the other Women’s Championship belt at WrestleMania XL, adding a surprising twist to the matchup due to betrayal within the stable.

Cody Rhodes and other wrestlers who seek to finish a story

What night each match will take place is undeclared except for a few that have been mentioned. The Roman Reigns and Dwayne Johnson versus Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes match is perhaps the biggest WrestleMania XL draw this year.

The match result affects Reigns vs. Rhodes: Rhodes could strip Reigns of allies with a win, or Reigns may rely more on his Bloodline if Rhodes loses. The tag team will happen on Night 1 and the solo match on Night 2.

The US Championship will see a lot of drama, as is expected from a match featuring US Champ Logan Paul. He was mad at Nick Aldis for not giving him a WrestleMania XL opponent. Granting his wish, Aldis has now launched The Viper Randy Orton and Kevin Owens at him. Both KO and RKO have a lot of bad blood with Paul, who cost Orton a title shot against Seth Rollins.

In Orton’s place, however, Drew McIntyre will go against Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship once again. The Scottish Opportunist seized his chance at the top gold after capitalizing on Logan Paul’s brass knuckles punch to Randy Orton at the Elimination Chamber.

Rollins will have to be extra careful during this match since Judgment Day’s Damian Preist will be lurking around to steal his title.

Moreover, he will also have to save his energy to face Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns on Night One of WrestleMania XL.

There are other matches also like:

  1. LA Knight vs AJ Styles, Gunther vs Sami Zayn and,
  2. The famous brother vs brother match between Jey and Jimmy Uso will take place for WrestleMania 40. 
  3. There is also The Judgement Day (Champions) vs TBC (in a six-pack ladder match for the Men’s Tag-Team Championships).
