How Good Was Wrestlemania 40? 

Night 1 was the Thanos snap and Night 2 was endgame. WWE is peak again 😮‍💨

Cole saying ”FINISH. THE. STORY” in sync with ref’s 1,2,3 count followed by Samantha’s emotion filled voice will go down in history and will be talked about for decades.

That ending of wrestle mania was one of the best moments of all time

this mania overall just felt fun, it didn’t feel gimmicky and forced it just felt like everyone was having fun

Seth is my low-key MVP of Mania 40. Two banger matches plus providing a PIVOTAL story-beat in the night 2 main event. His character got absolutely nuked but he took it in stride for the greater good. Much like HBK before him, he excels in whatever spot you put him in. Dude just added to his legacy as this generation's Mr. WrestleMania imo.

I'm 47 years old.. Combat veteran, father and grandfather... I run my own construction company.. I'm a man through and through... But when Undertakers music hit.. I was jumping up and down shaking my hands like a little kid.. This Wrestlemania Main Event was an absolute masterpiece 😅😅

the storytelling i noticed was the full circle of character of Seth Rollins at his heist of the century he was a selfish egotistic person who cares only about himself but now he became selfless and a guy who cares about the company and truly became a SHIELD

Literally the greatest main event of all time. I don't think anything could top that.

Wrestlemania 40 felt like a movie The culmination of a story arc that has been building for years and years. Cody finished his story. Roman couldn't let go of something that happened to him 10 years ago. He finally got his revenge on seth rollins for the shield betrayal and he has nothing to show for it now Seth rollins was the mvp of wrestlemania. He was the workhorse world champion wwe needed with roman not being there every week. He promised to be Cody's shield, he knew Roman's weakness & that was he couldn't let go of the shield. He used it against him and it worked. Roman took his eyes of cody when he had to pick if he should hit him or seth with the chair. Seth helped cody get his moment but it came at a cost. He lost the tag match, lost his title but roman lost his title so it was all worth it Seth rollins was the iron man to Cody's captain America. Overall I say night 2 was better than night 1. Night 1 was solid but night 2 felt more like wrestlemania

Me And My Son Cried Real Tears Last Night Dat Shit Was Phenomenal

If We Want Cody was legitimately a pivot it was the greatest pivot of all time. Incredible delivery. The feeling when Cole said, "Dammit, I love professional wrestling" really stuck out to me.

The Renaissance Era has begun!

Night one wasn’t horrible…But night two was cinema! Edit: Get over the grammar mistakes

40 years of WrestleMania... And my God what a way to celebrate the 40th anniversary. If last year we were all left heartbroken, this year we're left heartwarmed. Night 1 wasn't too bad, it did have its not so good moments, but, if there's one thing WMXL has taught us: Night 1 was the Infinity War.. Night 2 was The Endgame. From Priest becoming World Heavyweight Champ to Cody finishing the story, and everything in-between... Wow. It's all I can say. All of this time, I called it a Make or Break, and this was definitely the Make. Paul, "Triple H", Levesque", we all thank you... Roman Reigns, for one last time, we all acknowledge you, Cody Rhodes' reign may be something off of greatness. And April 6th-7th, 2024, a weekend we won't forget

Sami Got his moment McIntyre got his moment Truth' got his Moment Money in the Bank felt Relevant once again Cody finished the story in a classic star studded War Hence, in my opinion, by far the Greatest Mania.♥️

Cody's entrance told a story. An American Nightmare mask and Brandi showing up spoke volumes. I got chills. It was literally saying "This is it. We in the Endgame now."

Love that Lil' Naitch was the ref of Roman vs. Cody II and he didn't take a bump, Charles Robinson finished his story!

Seth’s character arc is my favorite in history. 10 years ago he broke up the shield and betrayed his friends to win a title 10 years later he lost a championship to order to protect his friend from the monster he created and take that monster down. It took 10 years but Seth finally achieved something more important then a title he finally achieved his redemption

"This night honestly felt like a season finale"" That's what Wrestlemania has always been to me, the closure of a year's storytelling, the end to a season of wrestling. The fact that this finally felt like that again is a good sign.

I started watching wrestling in 2015, World Wrestling Entertainment was the first promotion I began with through television. Have watched a lot of classics in retrospect but Reigns vs. Rhodes is one of the greatest WWE matches I have witnessed since I started, i.e., 2015. There might be few or perhaps no other battle I could think of that was delivered on such a plethora of emotions where I was this invested and it just delivered with an insane aura of in-ring mayhem mixed with a highly enthusiastic dynamic, show of heart and grit, villainry of opposition, moments, chills, stars, and storytelling excellence at its total mastery, connecting all the dots of the narrative the promotion was trying to build of a freakishly long-term prospect. Along with a mesmerizing crowd ovation, noise, and excitement. Not to forget one of the most heartwarming celebratory moments in wrestling I was a part of. Furthermore, at the biggest stage, state, and stakes possible. Outside WWE there is only one match I could say which was close to this emotional rollercoaster, investment, and satisfying outcome. When Kenny Omega humbled the longest reigning IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada after 720 days in the main event at NJPW Dominion 6.9 In Osaka-Jo Hall 2018. But even that match I did not watch it live. Hence Reigns's 1316-day reign ending with this type of match etches to be a very special moment for me. Without a doubt, one of, if not, the greatest WrestleMania main events of all time. The most "WWE" classic vibe ever. Overbooked? Yes, and it was beautifully done. Perfection of professional wrestling.

Greatest mania of all time imo. (Edit: it’s an opinion lmao get it straight(thanks for 1k+ likes))

started watching WWE around 2009, my first Wrestlemania was WM 25 and I have to say, in my time of being a WWE fan, this was the best Wrestlemania. Pure entertainment.

I keep seeing people say that the Sami Gunther match was bad. For me, it was the definition of WWE, the storytelling, the character development was all brilliant. It's matches like that that make me love wrestling.

What an experience! Throughout both nights you got wrestling, you got shocking events, you got surprises, and you got emotional moments! It had everything. One of my favorite WrestleManias. CODY FINISHED THE STORY Y’ALL

WrestleMania XL was a pure movie from beginning to end. From losing to Night 1, to the insane overbooked chaos of Night 2, this was truly a spectacle and I loved it. While not every match was great, a lot of them were fantastic, and I’m just happy Cody finally finished the story. Thank you HHH.🙏❤️

That tweet Drew did mid-match was LEGENDARY 😂

What I love about Roman’s character is that Seth is always his Achilles Heel. Roman suffered his first loss as the tribal chief to Rollins because he couldn’t let the betrayal go and he lost arguably the biggest match of his career because even after everything he still can’t let go. Storytelling is the most important part of wrestling.

Getting my daughter into wrestling a couple years ago was the best decision I ever made. She's obsessed. She watches interviews, tik toks, the slammies, NXT, the main roster shows. She drew pictures of each person's logo before their matches to hand out to my friends and I. She was jumping around the living room as each match got crazier. I admit to having become a bit of a negative mark online over the years, but her enthusiasm takes me back to cheering for my favorites during the ruthless aggression era back in middle school

1:20 You impersonating Triple h always gets me. 😂

First Wrestlemania I’ve watched live in a loooong time. So glad I did. Both nights were so good. This really is a pro wrestling renaissance!

This was my first Wrestlemania in about 10 years. I spent a few days leading up getting caught up in the story lines and I felt confident in my knowledge going in. I had no idea about some of what I saw, but it gave me such a joy to watch I'll never forget.

This was just one of those nights that are just impossible to explain to someone that doesn’t understand the wrestling world. But to those that are in on it… what a night. Truly one for the books

Seth is absolutely the unsung hero of the whole saga. I am sad he had to suffer so much lost in the past weekend but at the end of the day he earned the respect from everyone. ❤🖤

To be fair, the Undertaker was the perfect choice to help Cody to finish the story and makes more sense than Stone Cold from the storyline perspective, because Roman once defeated him at WM33, so the main event of WM40N2 was pure perfection!

This Wrestlemania as a whole was probably top 3 all time and definitely the best WM and also PPV I’ve seen in 15 years. Cody’s story really put it over the top. And also seeing Sami Zayn winning the championship really hit me hard. Seth Rollins was my personal MVP this weekend even if he lost almost everything. I’m easy to please so I don’t complain a lot, but if I had to pick on something I’d say I was just not a fan of priest cashing in and winning. It happened and I didn’t even have a reaction, it was kind of “meh I guess that just happened”. I’m hopeful maybe I’ll change my mind about how I feel after I see how his reign goes or where his story is taking him.

Jey Uso Vs Jimmy Uso Kinda Reminds Me Of Triple H Vs Randy Match At Wrestlemania 25 Where The Promo Was Elite And Then The Match Wasnt Good

As much as I would have loved to see Stone could pull a Stone cold Stunner on the Rock, Taker being there was just poetic and true to his character. He ruled Wrestlemania with his iron grip winning streak, all to be lost to Reigns. That lingered on even after his retirement. The soul of the Undertaker looming over until the time was right to finally appear one last time as an act of a vengeful spirit.

Seth promised to be Cody’s shield and indeed he was. Seth coming out in the shield gear (and almost had me thinking they brought back Jon Moxley) was a beautiful moment, Roman finally got the revenge he’s been wanting to get for 10 years but at the cost of his title. As for Roman, love him or hate him there won’t be another like him. I was iffy about him when he came back in 2020 but he slowly grew on me overtime and I came to appreciate the title reign he gave us. I think it’ll be a very long time before we see a title reign like that again

Wrestlemania 39:infinity war Wrestlemania 40:end game

As everyone has already pointed out, that Roman-Seth bit was a masterclass in storytelling. After all, that one chair shot turned Roman into what he is today. That's the source of Roman's trauma. No matter all the greatness he has achieved, he will never be able to move on from Seth and that betrayal. This is the reason Roman is ruthless to his family and constantly needs them to prove their loyalty for him. He can't trust them because his brother had turned on him. So even when everything is on the line for Roman, when he should have simply focused on Cody, he still couldn't let it go, and ultimately dropped Seth with the chair, and that costed him everything. Seth told Cody that he was the only one who was uniquely suited to be his shield and he literally was. Seth knew he was the only one who could get under Roman’s skin the most. That's the reason he came out to the Shield's music, wearing the same vest. Seth didn’t land a single hit yet he did the most damage among all. The Head of the Table was destroyed by its creator, The Architect himself. Seth had a brutal tag match and then lost his title. He didn’t even have to come out for Cody, but he had his reason. Seth began his journey with a betrayal in a selfish way. And that's his final sacrifice to destroy the monster he helped create even it costed him everything... his body, his title. An ultimate form of REDEMPTION for him.

After just getting back into pro wrestling after almost 20 years, this show gave me the vibes and feels I'd get when I was younger during the attitude era. Just an incredible show. PRO WRESTLING is back!!!

The main event was one of the greatest matches in professional wrestling history

What a great work with this video. Your conclusion says it all! Congrats from Portugal 🇵🇹

Bro if I'm not wrong then you were the first to use the word " Renaissance Era" around 3 months ago.🎉🎉

The theme of this mania was greed will cost you. Gunther’s reign ended because he wanted to do more. Drew could’ve just left but decided to rub it in punk’s face and it cost him. Same with Io Sky. And obviously with Roman

Man oh man.. What a wrestlemania it was.. I could have given anything just to hear Glass break instead of Undertaker's intro.. Inspite of that it was perfect

Bloody fantastic. Best wwe weekend I’ve ever experienced other than mania 35 (only because I attended live but I guarantee if I attended mania 40 live it would’ve been better) people hate on the pg era but as someone who grew up through that era I couldn’t ask for a better way to send off the time I grew up in. From cena and Orton appearing and aj putting over knight, to reigns revenge on Seth, and the end of a historic title reign (from someone who was hated through the 2010s and became a loved hero). The whole weekend brought a tear to my eye. Great job HHH. People hated the pg era but with you and reigns historical reign coming to an end we can reminisce on the pg era whether we liked it at the time or not. Can’t wait for this new era and this new time as the pg doors close and another opens!!

i'm glad you aren't sugarcoating the jimmy and jey match, that was awful

I personally didn’t feel like the Night 1 Main Event a 45 minute match.

Good. Thanks for the update!

Video Recommendation: Talk about Wrestlemania Stages, would be a pretty cool video by you. great video bro🙏🏾❤️

I have a theory why Steve Austin didn't came out, Austin has always been the Terminator for Rock, the one that puts the final nail in the coffin. In the upcoming months I believe the Rock will become more ruthless bringing more tyranny, he will find a way to neutralize these PAST LEGENDS and eventually leading up to a clash between babyface Roman or Cody at WM41. Austin will appear in this final clash to defeat the Final boss for good, Wwe is saving the Kryptonite of the Final Boss for the last chapter.

The amount of aura in the stare downs for the main events was insane

Great breakdown!! Thanks so much❤

Banger video Bro I hope it doesn't get taken down, this is the best wrestlemania for it's my top 3 in recent memory with 31,39

Night 1 felt like a regular ppv. Night 2 felt like mania. If they would’ve combined the best matches from each night into 1 show it would’ve been better.

Top 5 Mania all time. Theatrical and electric asf 🔥🔥🎬🎬

SuperKickStudios Awesome Video Today Man!!🔥🐐🐐💎

To me, Main Event of Night 1 was Rocky getting his ass beat in the first round against Ivan Drago, and Main Event of Night 2 is when Rocky turned the tide in the fight against Drago. That's what I can describe WrestleMania XL.

Seth The MVP of WM40 🔥

Night 2 was definitely better than night 1 but the thing is night 1 wasn’t bad it’s just night 2 was peak as my first mania since 32 this was peak cinema bravo HHH

WWE needs a guy like me, not a fighter, just a guy in the shadows tricking certain superstars into rivalries etc.

WrestleMania 40 has officially surpassed WM 17 as the greatest Mania of all time

Joaquin calling out "I nEeD mY WrEsTLeMaNiA MoMeNt" kinda ironically ruined his moment.

Both nights were incredible, they made it very clear that change is here to stay and more is coming. I can't wait to see where this goes. Also i enjoyed the jey and jimmy match from a storytelling point, it should have gone on longer and i agree it would have benefited from a stipulation. But i enjoyed it. Also i enjoyed the womens tag match, i prefered it to the Mysterio Andrade Escobar match tbh but tbf i havent rewatched anything yet. That slingshot to the outside was the highlight of that one

how could you just not smile? YES!even Roman smiled! he knew this match would be LEGENDARY AWESOME!

This years mania is fantastic..! *The stage was okay *The match cards are great *The build was excellent *The matches are incredible *The crowds are okay ISH *The entrance are unique *There could have been more surprises...! : overall it's a phenomenal event

Mania 40 reminded me why I love wrestling, especially night 2, I haven't Been so in awe at the spectacle in ages. Triple H if mania was any sign I cant wait to see what you have up your sleeve for the rest of your run has boss. While wrestling isn't always a love story has Bray Wyatt said its more its a spectacle nobody can deny, its a fantasy that most don't understand. and that is why I love Professional wrestling.

Brother vs brother, one word: superkick

Cody Rhodes's storyline was probably the most anime thing WWE has ever done. It was like Goku beating Frieza on Namek or Gohan beating Cell in DBZ.

Great video as per

I called out of work to watch night two. I am so glad I did, that ending reminded me of Avengers: Endgame. I never cried so much in my life. Pro wrestling is magic. Pro wrestling is back.

'IShowMeat' 💀

cole's commentary during cody's celebration gives goosebumps "DAMMIT I LOVE PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING"

Day 1: R-Truth paying homage to his childhood hero Day 2: Attitude/ Ruthless aggression Era GOATS handing over the flame to the new generation

Becky was sick and was able to do that match is incredible

Man, this Mania was amazing.

I live in sweden and i slept 1 hour just to see wrestlemania 40 live. Im so happy i stayed up and witnessed the goat Wrestlemania live❤

After what he has went through on both nights SETH ROLLINS has become the go to guy who delivers every single time

asuka 0-7 at wrestlemania is crazy

It was good. My favorite matches were Night 1 Tag Team Main Event, Rhea Ripley vs Becky Lynch, and Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre. This decade has been a good one for wrestling.

The only criticism i would have is i wish there were some fun backstage/in ring segments. Another gripe would be the lack of pyro like wrestlemania is known for the spectacle and entrances and fireworks is a big thing imo for that. But other than that it was very enjoyable.

I think it's safe to say that when you put together so many factors like match quality, roster, weekly shows and profit, this might genuinely be the best WWE has ever been. Maybe even surpassing the days of the Attitude Era. Everything feels so fresh and exciting, they're doing more shows outside of North America, the current crop of talent is phenomenal, there's a great balance of characters and workers, and there's pretty much something for every type of wrestling fan to enjoy. Crazy to see how much the company has turned around since Triple H and Nick Khan took charge. And following such a fantastic WrestleMania, I cannot wait to see what the future holds.

This was the Greatest Wrestlemania of ALL TIME imo🤷🏾‍♂️. What main event of Wrestlemania had Cena, Rock, and Undertaker getting involved. Thats never happened before and I don’t think we’ll ever see it again!

For my last WrestleMania it was great!!!! I was asking My Ancestors to please let me cry tears of joy while watching and I did so many times. I feel so blessed. I feel so relieved. A relief I didn't even know I was waiting on. Now I know by the end of the year I can stop watching happily.

Cody getting the belt handed to him at the Woahhh part of kingdom was such a perfect touch

I want the Rocks people’s championship belt!! Good show all around. Thanks for the video.

Recency bias is crazy. The only spectacular matches were the two main events on both night one and night two. The rest of them were okay. Rewatching this in the future, the main events are the only ones worth watching again. The other matches were just alright. This was an ok Mania. Give it like a 7/10

night 1 was FREEEEEZING. I have no idea how the wrestlers performed as well as they did.

Ngl this was my most replayed PPV/PLE since All Out 2021, as a fan of professional wrestling it's been 3 years since I get goosebumps like this one Papa H literally gave us a Cinema.

I thought the pacing for both shows was amazing. Nothing really dragged or felt sluggish and I was left wanting more by the end of Night II.

I kinda dont agree with your take on Zayn. he might’ve not been the right man to end the reign, but he gave us the match that was worthy of ending the reign.

Can we just take a moment to thank Roman for what he has done cause let's be honest here Romans reign as US title reign brought alot of us back to the WWE so thank you Roman.🫡

I didn’t want Cody to win, but wow I’m glad he did after witnessing that. What a match in all aspects

Becky and Rhea was a textbook wrestling match. It wasn't cheating, it wasn't a squash, it didn't resort to gimmicks. It also set the mood for the rest of WrestleMania and the fact that Rhea/Becky were trusted to kick things off was awesome. Brother vs brother was a stinker.... Superkicks suck.

Best wrestlemania ever

9.9/10 would have been 10 if Dean Ambrose returned

Great review!

It was perfect PERFECT down to the last minute detail
