Epic WrestleMania Entrance Could Get WWE Canceled; Company Used ‘Concentration Camp’ Photos Invoking Response From Auschwitz Museum

WrestleMania 39 saw a highly successful event, reaching the expectation on point, if not exceeded. Among numerous super entertaining matches, Dominik Mysterio vs Rey Mysterio came up as one of the most intense personal feuds in the entire WWE history. After months of build-up, the grievance match marked the elder Mysterio’s dominance over his son, Dominik Mysterio. But a certain feature related to this match brought some serious trouble for the Stamford-based company lately.

WWE faces massive criticism for a big error in WrestleMania 39 video package

During the pre-show, WWE aired a video package for this match. It featured Dominik’s prison stay scene in a spectacular entry promo, which mistakenly included an image of the Auschwitz concentration camp which beholds the tragic history of the Nazi attack. Though WWE removed the image from the footage before it went live, a Twitter user already pointed this out on social media.

It didn’t go unnoticed by the Auschwitz Memorial Museum authority. They called out the biggest wrestling promotion for hurting the sentiment of millions. Condemning the incident, they wrote on Twitter, “The fact that Auschwitz image was used to promote a WWE match is hard to call ‘an editing mistake’. Exploiting the site that became a symbol of enormous human tragedy is shameless and insults the memory of all victims of Auschwitz.”

However, the match involving this mishap was one of the major hits of WrestleMania Night 1 at SoFi stadium, in California.

The super thrilling roller-coaster match saw both fighters giving it all to hold dominance over their opponent. In the final part of the contest, Rey Mysterio hit a 619 on his son, followed by a frog splash over the top rope to score a pin and secure a mesmerizing victory. Dominik got support from his Judgment Day peers, Finn Balor and Damien Priest, with the latter putting a steel chain in the ring for the sake of the prince. But it all went in vain when Bad Bunny successfully stopped Dominik from hitting his father with the chain.

However, despite the victory of Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 39, their feud continues to build further momentum as Dominik Mysterio interrupted his father in this week’s Raw episode.
