WrestleMania 40 – Live: Night One results and start times, match card and pre-Night Two announcements

WWE's Bayley coaches a 'stacked' women's roster

The biggest wrestling event of the year is here: WWE's two-night extravaganza, WrestleMania.

The version of this historic event is WrestleMania 40, which takes place Saturday and Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, and the card is stacked.

Night one's main event saw Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson fully compete in WWE for the first time in 11 years as he teamed with his 'brother' Roman Reigns to defeat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. Due to the success of The Rock and Reigns, the Universal Championship defense against Rhodes – the main event of night two – was 'anything goes', meaning plenty of weapons and interference.

On night one, Rhea Ripley retained the Women's World Championship against fellow megastar Becky Lynch, while losing her title to reigning Intercontinental Champion Gunther Sami Zayn. There was also a six-team ladder match for the controversial tag-team titles, and brothers Jimmy and Jey Uso went head-to-head during the years of the rivalry.

On night two, Rollins will defend his World Title against Drew McIntyre, CM Punk will provide guest commentary, and Logan Paul will be in action against Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. And there's a lot more competition to look forward to. Re-live updates and results from night one of WrestleMania 40 and see all the build-up from night two:
