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.

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.

Match #1: Women’s WarGames Match – Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch & Shotzi def. Damage Ctrl The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Despite the palpable tension between teammates Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair heading into this fierce contest, their undeniable chemistry proved to be too much for the new and improved Damage Ctrl.

After Lynch’s team won the Ruffles WarGames Advantage poll, Shotzi entered third and brought her unhinged energy — as well as some chairs and trash cans to take out The Role Model.

Match #1: Pretty Deadly def. Sheamus & Ridge Holland The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Sheamus and his cohort Ridge Holland were out for payback after Pretty Deadly cost The Celtic Warrior a chance to win the United States Title in his match against Austin Theory. The Brawling Brutes failed to achieve victory, however. Although Sheamus Brogue Kicked Kit Wilson out of the ring, Elton Prince quickly dumped him out as well. With the official focused elsewhere, Prince removed the turnbuckle padding. Unaware, Holland charged right into the exposed steel and paved the way for Elton to follow up with a leg drop off the top rope for the underhanded victory.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Bayley def. Zelina Vega...
