WrestleMania 39 is set to take place in Los Angeles on the first two days of April, and the event promises to be a grand showcase of WWE’s best talent. The first night of the event will feature several championship matches, including a United States championship match between Hollywood star John Cena and incumbent titleholder Austin Theory. Additionally, SmackDown women’s champion Charlotte Flair will take on 2023 women’s Royal Rumble winner Rhea Ripley. The event will be presented live on Saturday from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, with a kickoff show starting one hour earlier at 7 p.m. on Peacock.
One of the most anticipated matches of the night will be between father and son, Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio. Dominik arrived handcuffed with police escorts, leaning into his hilarious gimmick as a prison-hardened convict. The legendary luchador toyed with his less talented son through the early portions of the match, but Dominik only took control after distracting his dad. The match ended with Rey Mysterio hitting a 619 and top rope splash for the win. The entrances will live as some of the best in WrestleMania history, and the company can build to a tag team match featuring Mysterio and Bunny against Judgement Day.
Another exciting match will feature WWE Hall of Famers Trish Stratus and Lita, along with women’s tag team champions Becky Lynch, against Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai, and Iyo Sky). The match was positioned after the fatal four-way tag team and Rollins vs. Paul matches, two hot contests, to give the crowd a cooldown. Lita and Stratus were a touch labored, particularly the former, but it was an honest effort from all parties.
In the men’s showcase, Braun Strowman and Ricochet will take on The Street Profits, Alpha Academy, and The Viking Raiders. The tag team showcase promises to be a fast-paced action match with no shortage of memorable moments. Everyone involved deserves praise for cramming so much good stuff into a relatively short spot.
Overall, WrestleMania 39 promises to be an exciting event with some of WWE’s best talent taking part in championship matches and showcase matches. Fans can catch the event live on Saturday from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, and CBS Sports will be providing updates and highlights throughout the night.
