WrestleMania XL was one of the most awaited WWE events that was witnessed by over 17000 people in Philadelphia. This was a moment filled with some great matches and unexpected turn of events. This was the time when the whole wrestling world could not take their eyes off the mega event at all. After all, there were a lot of iconic superstars that made a fantastic entrance to make this one of the most impactful moments in wrestling history. 

There were many stories that the people were waiting to see how it would all unfold. Though night 1 of the event was still good, it was the 2nd night of WrestleMania that exceeded all expectations. The Bloodline and the Judgement Day stories were some of the iconic storylines the fans wanted to see how it would end as well. Night 1 of the event did have some great matches where we saw one of the most brutal tag team ladder matches and saw Gunthers’s reign as intercontinental champion finally end at the hands of Sami Zayn.

Night 2 breaks records in WWE history

Night 2 of WrestleMania is where all the drama took place and kept the people on their feet. This was perhaps the best WrestleMania event ever witnessed which has hit over 1.3 billion views. This is the most hits a WWE Wrestlemania event has ever had which has overtaken the likes of the NFL wild-card game as well. The first match for the World heavyweight title saw Drew Mcintyre winning the championship, but unfortunately, all his hard work was undone by Damian Priest who finally cashed in after CM Punk's onslaught on Mcintyre. Though the triple threat match for the United States champion and Bayley winning the Women’s championship were eye-catching events it was the main event that made us love wrestling even more.

After the Rock and Roman Reigns won on the first night, people were wondering whether Cody Rhodes would be able to finish his story. Although we thought that it would be the bloodline or maybe the odd Seth Rollins creating chaos, we were in for a surprise. Not only did we see the Uso brothers at it again, but we also saw entrances from John Cena and the Undertaker make their entrance to foil the final boss and Roman Reigns slaughtering. This was one of the most chaotic Wrestlemania that surprised everyone on the day. It was also a great and emotional moment when Cody Rhodes finally finished his story and was celebrating it with his family and team who were feuding with the bloodline. There is no surprise as to why this event got such a positive reception as it was almost like that chaotic dramatic action movie where you cannot miss a single scene at all.
