The build towards WWE WrestleMania 40 has begun ahead of next year’s event at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Although WWE is looking at the near future with Crown Jewel on November 4th from Saudi Arabia and Survivor Series in late November, the company is also looking towards its biggest event of the year.
Plans for the regular top stars have started to be made. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that four matches are in the works for WrestleMania 40.
The biggest match is Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes, a rematch from this year’s WrestleMania 39, where Reigns went over Rhodes in what will be remembered as one of the biggest upsets in Mania history.
Meltzer wrote, “Right now based on things told to me and staredowns on television, whether this is for Mania or another big show, the “down the line” teases this week were Reigns vs. Rhodes, Ripley vs. Lynch, Jimmy vs. Jey and Flair vs. Cargill.”
