WrestleMania 40 - live: Updates and results as The Rock, John Cena and Undertaker star on night two
The Rock, John Cena, The Undertaker and many more starred at the biggest WWE show of the year
The biggest wrestling show of the year has come and gone: WWE’s two-night extravaganza, WrestleMania.
WrestleMania 40 played out at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday and Sunday, and the card was stacked.
The main event of night one saw Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson competing fully in WWE for the first time in 11 years, as he teamed with his ‘cousin’ Roman Reigns to beat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. Due to The Rock and Reigns’s victory, the latter’s Universal Championship defence against Rhodes – the main event of night two – was ‘anything goes’, meaning plenty of interferences.
And the most notable interferences came from WWE legends John Cena and The Undertaker, who thwarted The Rock and enabled Rhodes to beat Reigns – marking the end a four-year title reign.
