WrestleMania 40 (Night Two) took place last night in Philadelphia, PA, and Fightful Select has shared some interesting backstage notes from the event. From surprise appearances to secret promos, here are some highlights from the behind-the-scenes action.
One amusing moment came during Snoop Dogg’s announcement of the attendance. While WWE’s graphic displayed the official number, Snoop Dogg decided to add a humorous twist by announcing a different figure – “420.” This playful reference to cannabis culture surely brought some laughs from the audience.
Another intriguing note involves Giulia, who had a “performer” credential at WrestleMania 40. Giulia is a professional wrestler known for her time in Stardom, a Japanese women’s wrestling promotion. Her presence at the event suggests potential future involvement with WWE or perhaps a special appearance during the show.
One surprising revelation is that Stephanie McMahon’s promo was kept secret internally. The run sheet listed it as a Triple H promo, which means even the backstage crew and production team were unaware of Stephanie’s involvement. This element of surprise likely added an extra layer of excitement for both the live audience and viewers at home.
Stephanie McMahon, who is the Chief Brand Officer of WWE, is highly regarded within the company. Her positive reputation and contributions to the business have earned her respect from her colleagues and peers. Being welcomed backstage by the crew further solidifies her status as a valued member of the WWE family.
In terms of the main event, not everyone backstage and in production knew about the surprise appearances that occurred. However, the producers were well aware of the plan and had complete knowledge of the intended interference. This selective distribution of information ensured that the surprise factor was preserved, making the main event even more thrilling for fans.
Overall, WrestleMania 40 (Night Two) provided plenty of surprises and memorable moments both in front of and behind the camera. From Snoop Dogg’s humorous announcement to Stephanie McMahon’s secret promo, the event showcased the excitement and unpredictability that make professional wrestling so captivating. As fans eagerly await the next installment of WrestleMania, they can look forward to more surprises and backstage stories that add depth to the overall experience.
