WrestleMania 40 – Live: Results from Night 1, start time, match card and updates before Night 2

WWE's Bayley talks about training the 'stacked' women's roster.

Wrestling's biggest show of the year has arrived: the two-night WrestleMania extravaganza.

This edition of the historic event is WrestleMania 40, which takes place at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Stadium on Saturday and Sunday, and the card is stacked.

The first night's main event saw Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson fully compete in WWE for the first time in 11 years, as he teamed with his “cousin” Roman Reigns to defeat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. Given the victory of The Rock and Reigns, the latter's Universal Title defense against Rhodes – the main event of the second night – will be “anything goes”, meaning a lot of weapons and interference.

Also on the first night, Rhea Ripley retained the Women's World Championship against fellow star Becky Lynch, while record-breaking Intercontinental Champion Gunther lost his title to Sami Zayn. There was also a six-team ladder match for the Undisputed Tag Team Titles, and brothers Jimmy and Jey Uso went head-to-head in a match that had been years in the making.

On Night 2, Rollins will defend his World Title against Drew McIntyre, CM Punk will provide guest commentary, and Logan Paul will take on Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. There are a lot of matches to look forward to. Relive live updates and results from Night 1 of WrestleMania 40, and see all the builds leading up to Night 2:
