WWE WrestleMania 40 will take place this weekend at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the internal match order has been set.
According to Dave Meltzer’s latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, four matches will receive the majority of the attention on night 1, including the Intercontinental Title bout and the Tag Team Title ladder match.
According to Meltzer, “The plan was to do four long matches on night one, starting with the Rhea Ripley vs. Becky Lynch opener, as well as the ladder match for the tag titles, the semifinal of Gunther vs. Sami Zayn and of course the tag match, which is expected to be filled with bells and whistles with a long story.”
