Wrestlemania XL Saturday is here.
The past year in WWE programming has been pretty stellar and it's all led to here. Night One of Wrestlemania XL kicks off tonight, with several high-caliber matches scheduled to unfold.
Each Wrestlemania is the culmination of WWE's storytelling over the last year. This year, though, Wrestlemania could potentially be the culmination of a story that has been told since Roman Reigns won the WWE Universal Championship three and a half years ago. That was the beginning of the Bloodline saga, which saw Roman Reigns become WWE's top star, as he aligned himself with members of his own family and Paul Heyman.
Last year, Cody Rhodes had the chance to end Roman's reign of terror and become Universal Champion, himself. Due to interference from the Bloodline, though, that didn't happen. A year later he gets another shot at finishing the story, but that's not until tomorrow.
First, on Night One, Cody teams with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin'" Rollins to take on the team of Reigns and The Rock. If Seth and Cody win, the Bloodline will stay out of the Universal Championship match. If they lose, though, The Rock and the rest of the Bloodline can do whatever they want during Cody and Roman's match.
Those are some pretty big stakes if your name is Cody Rhodes. However, that's just one of the seven matches scheduled for Wrestlemania Saturday. Take a look at the full card for tonight's show below.
- Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and Cody Rhodes vs. The Rock and Roman Reigns
- Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Becky Lynch (Women's World Championship)
- Gunther (c) vs. Sami Zayn (Intercontinental Championship)
- The Judgment Day (c) vs. The New Day vs. The Awesome Truth vs. #DIY vs. The Creed Brothers vs. Indus Sher vs. Alpha Academy (Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship Ladder match)

- Bianca Belair, Naomi & Jade Cargill vs. Dakota Kai, Asuka & Kairi Sane
