The event is set for Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 April. Each evening starts at 4pm PT, 5pm CT and 6pm ET in the United States.

Night 2 note

Cody Rhodes is referenced as having lost the previous year’s Night 2 main event to John Cena. That result came ahead of this year’s card.

Night 1 results and spoilers

Night 1 produced several confirmed outcomes. The evening mixed established stars with surprise moments.

  • Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso and LA Knight defeated Logan Paul, Austin Theory and IShowSpeed.
  • Jacob Fatu defeated Drew McIntyre in an unsanctioned match by pinfall.

Broadcast and streaming

Internationally, the event will stream on Netflix in the UK and in most territories. Subscribers can watch without extra cost in those markets.

In the United States, the show airs live on ESPN. Broadcast windows differ by region.

Celebrities and special appearances

Several entertainers and media figures will appear across the weekend. The line-up mixes internet stars and music acts.

  • Logan Paul and IShowSpeed take part on the card.
  • Music artists Jelly Roll and Lil Yachty are set to feature.
  • John Cena will serve as host for the event.
  • Former NFL kicker and analyst Pat McAfee is expected to be involved.

Wrestler pay and contractual context

WWE contracts remain opaque. In 2022, Triple H said $250,000 was the minimum base pay for main-roster talent.

That figure applied to Raw and SmackDown roster members, not NXT. Wrestlers also earn via merchandise and reported pay-per-view shares.

Mirror figures from 2023 listed top annual salaries. Roman Reigns and Randy Orton were reported at $5 million each.

  • Seth Rollins: $3.5 million (reported).
  • Cody Rhodes: $3 million (reported).
  • Logan Paul: $2 million (reported).

Fan reaction and logistics

The choice to host consecutive editions in Las Vegas drew criticism. Early announcements had named New Orleans as host instead.

Fans also voiced concerns over ticket pricing. WWE has nonetheless confirmed the two-night format remains in place.

Context

WrestleMania has been presented as a two-night show since 2020. This edition continues that structure.
