AEW stars seen at WWE WrestleMania XL night two! Updates from backstage.

Last night, WWE wrapped up WrestleMania XL week with an epic night two of its flagship event. The highlight of the night was Cody Rhodes triumphing over Roman Reigns to claim the title of WWE Undisputed Universal Champion. As the dust settled, Fightful Select shared some intriguing insights from the show.

A notable presence at WrestleMania XL night two was the attendance of several non-WWE talents. Among them were Dustin Rhodes, Ricky Starks, Allie Katch, Jimmy Lloyd, Rina Yamashita, CJ Perry, and Brittnie Brooks, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.

In an amusing twist, Snoop Dogg’s reported attendance was actually incorrect. His subtle nod to the number ‘420’ added a playful touch to the festivities. Meanwhile, Giulia caught attention by sporting a “performer” credential at WrestleMania, hinting at her potential involvement in future WWE endeavors.

The opening promo by Stephanie McMahon took many by surprise, as it had been kept under wraps and mistakenly labeled as a Triple H promo in the run sheets. Her return was met with warm welcomes from the backstage crew, setting the tone for an electrifying night.

The impeccable camera work during both nights of WrestleMania received universal acclaim, with no technical mishaps to detract from the action. As WWE transitions away from the term “sports entertainment,” it reflects a broader shift in the company’s branding strategy reported first by Ibou of Wrestle Purists and corroborated by Fightful’s Corey Brennan.

Changes in commentary guidelines have been noticeable since Vince McMahon’s departure, with more relaxed restrictions on what can be said on air. Additionally, while main producers were privy to major surprises in the main event, not everyone was in the loop, heightening the suspense and excitement for viewers.

In a moment of spontaneous enthusiasm, streamer IShowSpeed’s passionate outburst towards Randy Orton during the U.S. title triple-threat match did not generate any controversy. In fact, his energetic display even earned an internal cheer when his bottle lid unexpectedly flew off.

Before the curtain rose, Triple H’s parting words to the crew encapsulated the spirit of the night: “have fucking fun more than anything.” His hands-on approach during rehearsals added a personal touch to the event, ensuring that everyone was primed for an unforgettable show.

Amidst the preparations, Cody Rhodes stood out by opting not to wear his entrance helmet during rehearsals, hinting at the unpredictable nature of his eventual appearance. As the night unfolded, WrestleMania XL night two delivered on its promise of thrilling surprises and unforgettable moments, capping off the week-long extravaganza in spectacular fashion.
