Wrestlers experience some form of trauma due to the physical and emotional demands of the industry. At WrestleMania 40, Roman Reigns’ actions against Seth Rollins went beyond being just a “blunder.”

At the Show of Shows, the strong bond between him and Rollins fell apart completely. This wasn’t just a sudden breakdown; it was the result of years of built-up resentment and tension.

Several scores will be settled in the biggest stage of the year, which is shaping out to be the biggest WrestleMania in recent history. While all eyes are set on the clash between The Bloodline and Cody Rhodes, even excluding them, the card of Wm Xl is highly jammed.
Another highly anticipated match of the two-night extravaganza involves LA Knight vs Aj Styles, which has been in the making since December. But before taking on the Phenomenal One in the Showcase of the Immortals, Knight was almost taken down by the most unusual foe in SmackDown.

It seems that Aj Styles and LA Knight couldn’t wait until their upcoming match this Sunday at Wrestlemania 40 in Philadelphia, Pa to throw down. They had to take things outside of the ring and had an all-out and rather realistic brawl at the Wrestlemania Media Day event.
The pair exchanged words once they discovered they were seated next to one another at the press event and then all hell broke loose! Styles picked up and threw a chair in the direction of LA Knight and the two engaged in a full-on brawl leaving Styles with a bloodied nose.

WrestleMania 40 is nearly here, and the milestone event is looking to live up to its “Xl” billing. Across two nights, WWE’s biggest stars will compete for glory, championships, and, perhaps, the honor of participating in one of the greatest matches in WrestleMania history. If the quality of recent WrestleMania shows is any indication, it should be a lot of fun.
Of course, none of that actually matters much if you don’t know how and when to watch WrestleMania 40 in the first place. So, here’s (hopefully) everything you need to know about the upcoming show.

However, all the good things come to an end, as he decided to hang his hat and long coat back in 2020.

Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, is on the verge of making a comeback to the wrestling world. His match with The American Nightmare, also known as Cody Rhodes, has certainly attracted a lot of attention towards WrestleMania 40.
Produced by WWE, WrestleMania 40 is the upcoming professional wrestling event which will be held two nights- April 6 and April 7. This is the first WrestleMania since the formation of the Tko Group Holdings after the WWE was merged with UFC.

Randy Orton is a renowned American professional wrestler who played a significant role in WWE during the early 2000s. Throughout his career, he has shared the ring with wrestling icons like John Cena, Aj Styles, and The Rock, solidifying his status as a prominent figure in the world of sports entertainment.
Randy Orton
One reason for Randy Orton’s polarizing reputation stems from his portrayal as a real-life antagonist for a significant portion of his career. Terms like juvenile, immature, and unprofessional have been associated with the Viper due to various incidents over the years. It’s worth noting that many of these occurrences took place earlier in his career when he was still maturing as an individual. In fact, Orton once spent 38 days in a military prison when he was a Marine.

Professional wrestling has seen the rise and fall of many over the years, but very few have actually managed to leave a mark or become the face of the sport. Roman Reigns has managed to achieve both within a short span of time. The American professional has reached the pinnacle of success, and he is still going strong. As a professional, he now reigns at the top as one of the highest-paid wrestlers around at present.
The wrestler’s real name is Joseph Leati Anoa’i, but he took on the mantle of Roman Reigns because he became a bit of a villain as he was making his way up the ladder in the world of wrestling. After going pro in 2010, Reigns has carved out a niche for himself in the wrestling ring.

Welcome to this review of this past Friday’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown, the first of 2024, right here on Nerdly. Let’s see what went down on this week’s episode!
Match #1: U.S. Title Tournament Final – Kevin Owens def. Santos Escobar The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
After weeks of hard-fought battles, the United States Title Tournament came down to Kevin Owens and Santos Escobar. After The Lwo took out Angel and Humberto, Ko capitalized by hitting Escobar with a cannonball and a swanton bomb, nearly coming away with the quick victory. Escobar was able to fight back, however, dialing in on Owens’ broken hand, which was still in a cast. Battling in front of U.S. Champion Logan Paul, the two competitors left it all on the line. After a seesaw match, Ko earned the win with a Pop-up Powerbomb and a Stunner.
My Score:...

Match #1: United States Championship Tournament – Carmelo Hayes def. Grayson Waller The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Nxt Superstar has come to SmackDown and stunned Grayson Waller to advance in the United States Championship Tournament. The brash Waller used his size advantage to down the athletic Hayes, but it would only take mere moments for Melo to prove that he is Him. One quick counter led to a First 48, and the WWE Universe was treated to a Nothing But Net leg drop from the top rope that saw Hayes punch his ticket to the semi-finals.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: United States Championship Tournament – Kevin Owens def. Austin Theory The following is courtesy of wwe.
