The card for WWE WrestleMania 40 is coming along with a few matches already confirmed while others have been internally locked in.
The card
WrestleMania 40 is set for Saturday, April 6, and Sunday, April 7, 2024, from the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes as the night two expected headliner.
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre, WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Becky Lynch, and WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY vs. Bayley have also been confirmed. It still looks like WWE will have The Rock wrestle on the first night, likely a tag team match with him teaming with Reigns against Rhodes and Rollins.
Challenger
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted he initially heard Sami Zayn would be GUNTHER’s challenger for the Intercontinental Title. However, plans may have changed based on the tease of a multi-man match done on Raw.
Meltzer: “And something’s going on. I’ll probably get a clarification tomorrow. I had heard of GUNTHER and Sami Zayn. But when I watched the show tonight, it felt to me like there, it was very clear…”
Bryan Alvarez: “It felt to me like they’re doing a multi-person night one. And the winner gets GUNTHER night two.”
Meltzer: “ It could be that. Maybe that is what they’re going to do, or it just could be like a multi-person match. You know, where they, because they had Chad Gable, Gunther mentioned our R-Truth and The Miz.”
