The Rock headlined WWE’s yearly WrestleMania event in Philadelphia this past weekend. Thousands of fans flocked to the football stadium, which is home to the Philadelphia Eagles. However, The Rock wasn’t the only one entertaining fans. Iconic WWE superstars Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, John Cena, and more also showed up at WrestleMania 40.
However, none of their presence created the same hype as the legendary, The Undertaker’s surprise appearance. But, a clip of the retired professional wrestler has caught many fans’ attention, since the action-packed event concluded. To the shock of many fans, the video disproves a popular theory of The Undertaker.

WrestleMania 40’s night two in Philadelphia was a spectacle of high-octane wrestling that lived up to the grandeur expected of such a storied event. The evening was headlined by a gripping match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, where Rhodes sought redemption and the chance to “finish his story” and of course the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship. The “Bloodline Rules” stipulation added an intense layer of drama, with Rhodes overcoming the odds to dethrone Reigns in a stunning upset that had the Lincoln Financial Field erupting in cheers.
It was no surprise that during the match both Reigns and Rhodes has some assistance during their match from the likes of Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, The Rock, John Cena and none other than The Undertaker making brief cameo appearances.

Several scores will be settled in the biggest stage of the year, which is shaping out to be the biggest WrestleMania in recent history. While all eyes are set on the clash between The Bloodline and Cody Rhodes, even excluding them, the card of Wm Xl is highly jammed.
Another highly anticipated match of the two-night extravaganza involves LA Knight vs Aj Styles, which has been in the making since December. But before taking on the Phenomenal One in the Showcase of the Immortals, Knight was almost taken down by the most unusual foe in SmackDown.

It seems that Aj Styles and LA Knight couldn’t wait until their upcoming match this Sunday at Wrestlemania 40 in Philadelphia, Pa to throw down. They had to take things outside of the ring and had an all-out and rather realistic brawl at the Wrestlemania Media Day event.
The pair exchanged words once they discovered they were seated next to one another at the press event and then all hell broke loose! Styles picked up and threw a chair in the direction of LA Knight and the two engaged in a full-on brawl leaving Styles with a bloodied nose.

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.
WrestleMania 40: Night 1 will start on April 6 at 7 Pm Et, 6 Pm Ct, and 4 Pm Pt. WrestleMania 40 Night 2 will start on April 7 at 7 Pm Et, 6 Pm Ct, and 4 Pm Pt. The pre-show for...

Tna Impact Wrestling’s focus has been rebuilding and creating new stars for its brand. Count Eli Drake among those looking to make their mark. The 33-year-old has emerged from a background player to the forefront thanks to his loud-mouthed and arrogant swagger. The wheels for his signing started turning when his promoter, David Marquez of Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, and Tna creative’s Dave Lagana were in communication. Because of his work in developmental and Nxt, Drake — real name Shaun Ricker — was also recommended by WWE to Tna’s talent relations head John Gaburick. Within a month he was set up with … Continue reading →

Having begun life as a reality show designed to showcase a selection of developmental talents, WWE’s Nxt has for the last two years instead functioned as a separate ‘promotion’ of sorts, with its own championships, arena and roster. Said roster is made up of a number of individuals from the company’s developmental system, who are given the opportunity to compete in front of a televised audience and enhance their skills before they are considered worthy of performing in front of thousands of fans and millions of television viewers each week. Such individuals have included Seth Rollins, Big E and the Wyatt Family.
As recent cuts have resulted in several performers leaving the company and other acts have gotten stale from overexposure throughout the years, the main roster is currently crying out for new talent. Nxt has plenty to provide, from distinguished independent performers to well-gelled tag teams.
