WWE's grandest spectacle, WrestleMania, returned to the passionate city of Philadelphia for a historic two-night event on April 6th and 7th, 2024. Lincoln Financial Field, the home of the Philadelphia Eagles, played host to thousands of WWE fans eager to witness unforgettable moments in the squared circle. WrestleMania XL delivered on that promise with championship clashes, returning legends, and the rise of a new era.
The stakes were high. It was a clash of titans, and a victory for Rhodes & Rollins secured a crucial advantage for Night Two. A stipulation hung heavy in the air: if Rhodes and Rollins emerged victorious, The Bloodline, including Roman Reigns, would be barred from ringside during Rhodes' championship challenge against Reigns the following night.
The atmosphere crackled with anticipation as the bell rang. A picture of charisma, The Rock energized the crowd with his signature moves, while Reigns displayed his dominance.
Across the ring, Rhodes and Rollins, fueled by their championship aspirations, countered with a strategic offense. The match was a whirlwind of high-flying maneuvers, powerful strikes, and near falls, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.
Ultimately, The Rock delivered the decisive blow. The Rock and Roman Reigns won with a signature Rock Bottom on Cody Rhodes, followed by his iconic People's Elbow.
Family drama spilled into the ring when Jey Uso faced his brother Jimmy Uso in a highly anticipated personal rivalry. Emotions ran high as these former tag team partners battled it out, determined to settle their differences. Jey Uso emerged victorious, proving his dominance over his brother in just 11 minutes of the match.
The Wrestlemania in 2024 wasn't complete without a heart-stopping display of athleticism. The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship hung above the ring in a chaotic Six-Pack Ladder Match. Several tag teams, hungry for gold, battled it out with a ferocity that left the crowd breathless. A-Town Down Under emerged victorious, scaling the ladders and claiming the coveted championship belts.
The Bloodline Rules stipulation loomed large, adding significant difficulty for Rhodes. This stipulation allowed Roman Reigns' domineering family, The Bloodline, to interfere in the match, potentially tipping the scales in favor of the champion.
The tension was palpable as the bell rang. The crowd erupted in a cacophony of cheers for Rhodes, their "American Dream" chants echoing throughout the stadium. The match itself was a testament to both wrestlers' incredible skills. Reigns, the dominant champion, displayed his raw power and ruthlessness. Yet, Rhodes countered with a strategic offense fueled by his unwavering determination.
Despite the looming threat of The Bloodline's interference, Rhodes fought with a focused aggression. Rhodes countered a trademark Reigns spear, executing a series of devastating maneuvers of his own. Finally, with a perfectly timed Cross Rhodes, Cody Rhodes silenced the stadium before delivering a thunderous pin, securing a three-count victory.
No WrestleMania is complete without a good old-fashioned brawl, and Night Two delivered with a thrilling Six-Man Tag Team Philadelphia Street Fight. Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits vs. Final Testament amplified by the "anything goes" environment of a Philadelphia Street Fight. Weapons were aplenty, the action was relentless, and the crowd approved every high-risk maneuver. In the end, Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits stood tall, battered but triumphant, after a chaotic and exhilarating battle.
The spirit of nostalgia filled the air when legendary wrestler Rey Mysterio made a surprise return, teaming up with his masked nephew Dragon Lee for a thrilling tag team match against Santos Escobar and Dominik Mysterio. The sight of Mysterio, still showcasing his incredible agility, alongside Dragon Lee's rising star was a treat for fans of all generations.
Though not part of the two-night Wrestlemania event, the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony was a memorable night of celebration and reflection. Kicking off the ceremony in true "advocate" fashion, Paul Heyman was the first inductee. His legendary career as a manager and promoter spanned decades, leaving an undeniable mark on the industry.
Thunderbolt Patterson, a true innovator in the early days of professional wrestling, received a long overdue induction. Scott Spears and The New Day, known for their appreciation of wrestling history, had the honor of inducting Patterson, highlighting his influence on the sport.
