It’s not an overreaction to say that Wrestlemania 40 will go down as one of the best ever in the history of the big event.

The two-night event culminated with the year-long story arc of Cody Rhodes finally winning the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship over Roman Reigns. While that ending was expected, the way in which it all went down is what’s noteworthy.
Towards the ending of the match — one that was contested under Bloodline Rules — a number of past and present wrestlers became involved to even out the odds. What then transpired may go down as the greatest ending to a main event in Wrestlemania history.
The Usos started it out with Jimmy interfering on behalf of Reigns and Jey then stepping in to help out Rhodes. It started off a chain reaction of the biggest superstars since the Attitude Era popping in to help turn the momentum in favor of either Reigns or Rhodes.
Ruthless Aggression star John Cena chipped in to take out Solo Sikoa by giving him an Attitude Adjustment through the announce table. The Rock then appeared to give John Cena — in a reference to their rivalry of 10 years prior that took place at Wrestlemania 28 and 29 — a Rock Bottom in the middle of the ring.
And then — in the biggest pop of the night to that point — the Undertaker appeared to choke slam The Rock in a reference to The Attitude Era.
That’s not even mentioning Seth Rollins making an appearance in attire from his Shield days.
