As the road to WrestleMania 40 has already begun, WWE is eager to make the show grander than ever before. This will be the first time that the WrestleMania event will be hosted without the McMahon family’s control, under the TKO Group Holdings.
With the hype beginning to build up, WWE has officially announced the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff two months before the event. In light of this announcement, we’ve compiled all the information you need to know about the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Press Conference.
A Look at Date, Location, and How to Watch the Spectacle
WrestleMania is an annual professional wrestling event hosted by WWE. It takes place in late March or April and is the longest-running and most successful professional wrestling pay-per-view event of all time. It was the first professional wrestling pay-per-view ever produced and is considered the grandest event in the world of professional wrestling.
This year will be the 40th edition of WrestleMania, scheduled to take place over two nights on April 6th and April 7th, 2024. The event will be held at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, and will be broadcast live. In the United States, WrestleMania 40 will be available for streaming on the Peacock platform.
For those residing in Europe, you can purchase WrestleMania 40 on the TNT Sports Box Office for a one-time fee or subscribe to the WWE Network. In Australia, a Binge subscription is required to watch WrestleMania 40. Additionally, WWE will live stream the event on their social media platforms, including YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, free of charge.
The WrestleMania 40 kickoff press conference aims to create excitement for the upcoming WrestleMania PLE. This is where some of the biggest stars in the wrestling world will be present, and the grandest PLE will be open to fans and media. The kickoff show will be held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on February 8 at 4 p.m. Pacific Time. It is a non-ticketed event, making it accessible to everyone.
Confirmed matches, fan outrage, death threats, and speculation surrounding the main event
Currently, there are major uncertainties about Cody Rhodes’ plans for WrestleMania 40. Fans were eagerly anticipating that Rhodes will face Roman Reigns and come out victorious. However, on last week’s episode of SmackDown, the American Nightmare chose to step aside, giving way for The Rock’s return and teasing a potential matchup against his cousin.
Fans have expressed strong dissatisfaction with a recent decision, resulting in The Rock being booed every time he appears on screen. This is a stark contrast to the usual warm reception The Great One typically enjoys.
During the latest episode of Raw, several signs were shared by the audience, demanding the presence of Cody and chanting ‘Rocky Sucks.’ We hope to gain a better understanding of the plans for WWE WrestleMania 40 through a press conference scheduled to take place later this week.
Ava, the daughter of The Rock, recently took to social media to reveal that she has been receiving death threats from fans of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The threats were directed towards her over WWE’s creative decisions, which she has no involvement in, as she is busy handling her own business in WWE NXT.
We still have some time until WrestleMania 40, and not all the matches have been announced yet. However, we already know that the women’s roster has it easier than the men’s, as two matches have been confirmed for them.
One is a singles match between Iyo Sky and Bayley for the WWE Women’s Championship, and the other is a singles match between Rhea Ripley and the winner of the Women’s Elimination Chamber match for the Women’s World Championship.
