WWE WRESTLEMANIA 41 LIVE BLOG & MATCH COVERAGE
Higher! Higher! Feel the flames! She is burned at the stake like a witch, but me? I’m just here to liveblog this wrestling event for you, folks.
Typically, I don’t cover the details of the preshow, but they presented a vignette for a AAA/NXT Worlds Collide in June and then followed it up by revealing that WWE acquired AAA *and* used it to transition to Rey Mysterio announcing that he isn’t cleared and will be substituted by Rey Fenix in his match against El Grande Americano tonight, so there you go.
Later on, there’s also a clip about Bayley sustaining a mysterious injury backstage by allegedly not Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez while Adam Pearce instructs both of them that they won’t escape a title match tomorrow night so easily.
The main event begins with the customary montage of talent arriving at the venue.
Next, we see a video voiced by Triple H discussing heroes and villains and legendary tales.
Triple H is in the ring, microphone in hand.
He states that it’s his privilege to welcome us to Las Vegas, where for the first time, right here, right now (Van Halen is rocking America?), everyone here is being seen LIVE globally. He then invites us to WrestleMania and a massive pyro display erupts.

Back in the ring, another exchange and the Ring General chops Uso clean off the top and to the floor, posing as though he has won while referee Shaun Bennett counts.
