WWE WRESTLEMANIA 41 LIVE BLOG & MATCH COVERAGE

Higher! Higher! Feel the enthusiasm! She burns at the stake like a witch, but me? I’m just here to liveblog this professional wrestling spectacle for you, folks.

Typically, I don’t cover the details of the pre-show live, but they aired a video segment for a AAA/NXT Worlds Collide in June and then followed it by announcing that WWE acquired AAA *and* used it to segue into Rey Mysterio sharing that he’s not cleared and will be substituted by Rey Fenix in his showdown against El Grande Americano tonight, so there you have it.

Later on, there’s also a bit about Bayley being mysteriously harmed backstage by definitely not Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez and Adam Pearce informing the two of them that they won’t be getting out of a title match tomorrow night so easily.

The main event begins with the customary montage of superstars arriving at the arena.

Next, we receive a video narrated by Triple H discussing heroes and villains along with legendary tales.

Triple H stands in the ring, microphone in hand.

He proclaims it’s his pleasure to welcome us to Las Vegas, where for the first time ever, right here, right now (Van Halen is rocking it in America?), everyone present is being viewed LIVE by the entire planet. He then invites us to WrestleMania and a flurry of pyro is unleashed.

GUNTHER (c) vs. “Main Event” Jey Uso (WWE World Heavyweight Championship)

Circling, taking it slow, soaking in the atmosphere, collar and elbow into the corner, GUNTHER with a right hand but Uso counters with a MONSTROUS right that knocks the Ring General onto his back and forces him to scramble out to the floor! Back inside, trading strikes, Jey gains the upper hand and again GUNTHER retreats to the floor for a breather.

Back in the ring, another exchange occurs and the Ring General chops Uso clean off the top, sending him to the floor and posing as if he’s emerged victorious while referee Shaun Bennett counts. Jey makes the count and GUNTHER takes his time, slowly walking and chopping him into the corner, each chop taking its toll… BUT USO EXPLODES WITH A SPEAR FOR TWO!

Right hands in the corner, compelling GUNTHER to cover up, but when the Ring General manages to get off a chop, it’s a genuinely meaty chop!
