Over 140,00 expectant fans at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia saw belts change hands, families fight and stars rise as Wrestlemania 40 took place across two nights.
Fans saw 6 title changes and a Money in the Bank briefcase cash-in from Damien Priest, with the first belts dropping during the six-pack ladder match as The Judgement Day saw their four belts split between two new teams on Night One.
Stars like Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Bobby Lashley, Rhea Ripley, Cody Rhodes, The Rock, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Gunther, Jade Cargill shone over the two nights of action.
On Night One, The Rock returned to wrestling by entering the ring for the first time in eight years to join Reigns to face Rollins and Rhodes.
On Night Two, Rhodes challenged Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in a chaotic bout that involved no fewer than six intruders - including The Rock and The Undertaker. We also saw drama on the World Heavyweight Championship scene, one of the matches of the weekend in the women's division and a wild and wonderful US championship defence.
