WWE WrestleMania 40 Night 1 04-06-2024

I just finished watching this event, and my goodness was it good, although I may have accidentally slept through a couple of matches, but I did see the end the end of those matches, so, it's all good.

Women's World Championship

Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Becky Lynch

This match was very good and, in my opinion, was the second best match of the evening.

 Ripley retains by pin fall following a Riptide into the turnbuckles, followed by another Riptide for the victory.

 6-Pack Ladder Match For The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship:

The Judgment Day (Finn Balor & Damian Priest) (c) vs. #DIY (Tomasso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano) vs. The New Day (Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston) vs. The Awesome Truth (R-Truth & The Miz) vs. A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory & Grayson Waller) vs. New Catch Republic (Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate)

Okay match.

The Tag Team championship is no longer undisputed as A-Town Down Under win the Smackdown Tag Team championship and The Awesome Truth  win the Raw Tag Team championship.

Rey Mysterio & Andrade (with Zelina Vega and the Latino World Order) vs. Santos Escobar & 'Dirty' Dominik Mysterio (with Legado Del Fantasma)

Escobar and Dominik looked like they were abouth to win when two men in Rey Mysterio masks jump the security barrier and attacked Dominik, allowing Rey to hit the 619 for the victory. The men took off their masks, and it was retired Philadelphia Jason Kelce and Eagles Offensive Tackle Lane Johnson.

 Jey Uso vs. Jimmy Uso

This match was back and forth. 

Jey was about to win, but showed Jimmy mercy, who in turn, used it against Jey, then Jimmy hit the Uso splash, but Jey kicked out. Then Jey turned it around, and hit the Uso splash for the victory.

Intercontinental Championship

Gunther (c) vs. Sami Zayn

You could tell by the pre-match schtick that Sami would win. Sami gets encouragement from his wife & son, then he gets told by Chad Gable that he won't accompany him to the ring because Sami is ready, then he gets hugged by Kevin Owens.

Sami hit two Heluva kicks for the pin fall victory to win the title.

Tag Team match to determine the stipulation for tomorrow nights main event.

The Bloodline (Roman Reigns & The Rock) (with Paul Heyman) vs. Cody Rhodes & Set 'Freakin' Rollins

Match of the night.

Lots of false finsihes.

Reigns and The Rock get the pin fall victory after Cody hit two Cross-Rhodes, he went for a third, The Rock hits hime with th weight belt, Reigns hit a spear, he tags in The Rock who hita a Rock Bottom followed by The People's Elbow for the pin. Tomorrow night's main event will be contested under Bloodline Rules, which means, No Rules

 Until next time: I'm Steve & I'm just living the dream.
