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.

Here are some highlights from tonight’s main event...
WrestleMania 40 LIVE – Night One: The Rock and Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins
Back in the ring, it’s Reigns and Rhodes. These two will face off one-on-one tomorrow night, in the main event of night two.
Rhodes hits his finisher twice and goes for a third, but Rock whips Rhodes with his own belt!
Reigns capitalises, hitting a spear! He tags in Rock, who hits a Rock Bottom and a People’s Elbow, and 1, 2, 3! Rock and Reigns beat Rhodes and Rollins!
That result means that, when Reigns defends his Universal Title against Rhodes in tomorrow’s main event, it’s anything goes – Rock can interfere as much as he wants; Reigns can bend the rules as much as he likes; there are no rules, in a sense.
WrestleMania 40 LIVE – Night One: The Rock and Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins
Reigns goes for a spear, but Rollins pushes Rhodes out of the way, and Reigns accidentally spears Rock!!!
Rhodes and Rollins capitalise, trying to pin Reigns and Rock respectively (say that five times fast), but both men kick out!
Reigns rolls outside, and Rollins jumps off the top rope and lands on him! On the other side of the ring, Rock pokes Rhodes in the eye and puts him on the announce table...
But Rhodes slams Rock through the announce table next to them – with his own signature move, the Rock Bottom! Elsewhere, Reigns spears Rollins through the barricade!
Chaos!
