Wrestlemania XL Results and Reactions

Summary

The conversation covers the discussion of WrestleMania XL and the fallout leading up to the upcoming event, Backlash. The hosts talk about the matches and storylines, including Rhea Ripley vs. Becky Lynch, the tag team ladder match, and the match between Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso. They also discuss the draft and the changes in the roster. The hosts express their opinions on the matches and the lack of connection between WrestleMania and Backlash. Night two of WrestleMania featured several matches that lacked significant storylines or build-up. The matches between LA Knight and AJ Styles, and Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits felt like filler and had little impact on the overall event. The Philadelphia Street Fight between The Pride (Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits) and The Final Testament (Authors of Pain and Karrion Kross) was underwhelming and didn't have a clear purpose. The match between Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins was overshadowed by Damien Priest cashing in his Money in the Bank contract. Overall, night two lacked compelling matches and failed to deliver on the excitement of WrestleMania. WrestleMania was one of the better ones in recent years, with memorable moments and solid matches. The main event saw Roman Reigns finally lose the title to Cody Rhodes, with the help of several surprise appearances. The match between Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso was forgettable, and the same goes for LA Knight vs. AJ Styles. The length of the matches was a common issue, with many being too short to leave a lasting impression. The upcoming pay-per-view events include AEW Dynasty and WWE Backlash.
