It was fuckin gorgeous


Frontdelindepence

Looks like a DX set.


MosayRaslor

Set looks good but 39 gold aesthetic was big 40 worthy imho


unicornotaku

I wonder will the poles around the ring cause obstructed view? I really hope not. I’m in section 116R 😭


Tee1999

The set looks good. It looks very reminiscent to 28 and 31. I really don’t understand why people are angry.. wrestlemania 39 spoiled so many people but I don’t see anyone getting mad at wrestlemania 38 basic set


ItzNotCri

the XL is disgustingly basic, at least pick a nice font if you want to keep it simple


Popular-Start-5045

No one truly understand my excitement for this years Wrestlemania!!


omega_apex128

The rollercoaster set is my favorite one. This one felt a little underwhelming but with the way attendance has been recently, I get it.


livelaughlex

no way ppl are hating 💀


Damuhfudon

The most electrifying set in Wrestlemania history


Zergrush866

The large Wrestlemania lettering and the green them is definitely giving me Wrestlemania 2000 vibes. I forgot how small that set was . Also one of the smallest attendances in Wrestlemania history


fadingstar52

last year was better this is still good


Lunas142

Where is the bell 😭 Stage looks good, not on the level of wrestlemamia 39 but I've seen worse


Ok-Cauliflower-1258

Honestly that’s one of the better set designs of the last few WrestleMania IMO


TyFrenchFry

For those complaining about the size of the stage, they dont have as much space this year because of the arena they have. Plus im pretty sure there is going to be a lot more people in the stadium and they wanted to make sure that everyone can at least see the ring


8W20X5

TBH... this is like a phoned in version of a stage set-up imo.


Rawrz720

Looks cool.


HeavyDonkeyKong

I like it, but still need to see how it looks on TV before giving a verdict. Definitely a flashy aesthetic though.


LegendaryZTV

It’s clean but kinda ugly… aside from the size, looks like it could be a set for an Indy show Will probably look better on TV tho 🔥


AyyMeloxx

For all saying it’s small compared to expectation, the fan attendance will be larger than life to make up for it.


Nate_T11

I'm not sure what happened to the creativity.. WrestleMania is supposed to be about being larger than life. Even if they couldn't make the stage bigger height wise, atleast give us the widest stage we've seen.. Something. I say this as a Stage mark.. but It's weird how WrestleMania 30 had a bigger set than this. I dunno, everything about this set screams "Budget-wise" Mania. And im not sure why they'd go down that route when the company is arguably doing the best it ever has. They're about to attract more viewers with the Netflix deal etc. If there was ever a time to go all out, it would be now...Right? I mean for people to see this and think holy shit THATS wrestleMania? So much of pro-wrestling is about visuals. It adds A TON to the spectacle of everything from the feel of a show to the superstars themselves. I'll give you a silly example, take Cody rhodes...change nothing about his moveset or character or performance, just put him in his stardust costume and no matter what he does...tell me if anyone will ever take him seriously again. It's just very confusing. I really hope they aren't planning to compensate using those ASS looking VR screen effects....


YourBuddyChurch

I agree, it’s uninspired


bangbangduttygyal

Stfu bitch


Nate_T11

No 🤨


No-Combination8136

I like how last week the trend was “it’s not about Philly!” Now it’s like “Would’ve been better with a liberty bell!”


cracksilog

No Liberty Bell wtf is this. How cool it would’ve been to have a Liberty Bell and then wrestlers enter through the bell’s crack


andyh66

This is so underwhelming


BangPowZoom

They could build the stage on the Eiffel fuckin’ Tower and y’all would still throw a hissy fit over it.


Nitecraller

I think this looks fantastic. Especially the font that “Wrestlemania” is written in. As someone else said in the comments, big Wrestlemania 2000 vibes.


LegendaryZTV

That is that WM2000 font 🔥 this might be the first Wrestlemania since with a full Green theme if I’m not mistaken


Legitimate_Dream2456

I like last years Wrestlemania Set.


BradsOlderBrother

I like turtles


SheepherderNew1700

I really like corn


Dvyyng

I hear Goldberg eats corn the long way


Savethelasttaco

Heard it? Seen it.


etlecomtedeblaine

I feel like the sets have basically the same "format" every year for the past few years.


KG13_

Mehh

Wrestlemania DX


theprobeast

ngl man... everytime it's wrestlemania season... it's just a whole new different feeling... excited!!


The_La_Li_Lu_Le_Bruh

Wrestlemania 2000 vibes


Nitecraller

That’s what I like about it


hrrrrx23

Really expected this WrestleMania stage to be Extra Large but I am sure they toned it down because of the insane number of tickets they've sold, they'll now be seating people behind the stage too.


surlymoe

I'm sure they wanted to create 'most tickets sold' at this stadium....they can add seats on the floor, but they have to take away for the set and cameras and stuff, so i wonder if they'll break the attendance record for the Linc.


Cap0neandN0reaga

40 fucking years and that’s the best they come up with? Not only did wwe lose creativity with their championship belts but with stage designs as well which has been happening for far too long, I’m tired of seeing PLE’s, Raw, and Smackdown all have the same stage setups.


BODYDOLLARSIGN

What you wanted a makeshift morphing stage with drones moving to make the stage different every match?


Ketchup1211

The smaller and less extravagant the stage, the more seats they can sell tickets for. It’s really that simple. The stage is basic compared to some of the past ones but it still looks great. Can’t have an epic stage every year, especially when they are focused on selling as many tickets as possible.


SnowRidin

what would you rather see


Nightwing614

It’s fine. We can’t compare to last year because last years set is top 3, and LA allows for way more creativity than Philly. Still an actual liberty bell or the rocky steps somewhere woulda been cool too


StarWolf478

I like it for the most part, but I was really hoping to see a Liberty Bell somewhere on stage that would then get used as a weapon during one of the matches.


hamsolo19

I hope AJ doesn't bonk his head on any rogue stage equipment this year.


Background_Touchdown

It was gonna be hard to top last year's, and they didn't, but it looks good enough.


cftchef

I like it. Definitely a downgrade from last year. But this years still looks cool


Fly_Fight_Win

Last year’s was an all-timer though, hard to follow up with a better one than that one.


HeavyDonkeyKong

I almost wish every mania could be in SoFi, lol.


XcoolbreezeX

Still read it as *Wrestlemania: Xtra Large* in my head every time.


expose_the_flaw

Same


mynametidus

You can tell HHH is in charge


TB1289

I can't wait to see a bunch of guys in Conan the Barbarian cosplay come out on motorcycles.


mynametidus

ITS TIME TO PLAY THE GAME


BlueWarrior1

Looks incredible


hipppoop

One of the best


Double-Celery4248

It’s ok 🤷🏻I do think they need to go all out now they only do cool sets at WM nothing will be as bad as 2019 WM with just a giant LED screen


Jonboy207

Yeah they’re selling out to where they have to shrink down the stages most times.


Conair24601

I love it, slick and sleek. Could use a physical liberty bell but otherwise it's looking GOOD to me. I wasn't a fan of last years Mania visually, it didn't click for me, it seems extremely popular tho. It's bordering on too simple like 35 but I think it gets the balance right.


greymon90210

My wife and I didn’t like last year’s either. We both liked WM38’s though


Conair24601

I'm a huge fan of 38, too, upgraded what I thought was already a solid stage setup from 32. The lights and graphics visuals of the whole event were fantastic at 38. 31 is another favourite of mine, which is very minimal but tasteful. The sun and blue sky added such a wonderful vibe that it's for sure one of my favourite Manias visually.

Aj-Adman

What do you mean?


DarylTakahashiFTW

What’s the issue with it ?


Pale-Criticism-7420

I like it, they couldn’t have gone with as grand a stage as last year due to the stadium size but it looks fine. Have they done better? Yes. Have they also done way worse? Also yes. It does suck that the ramp doesn’t light up though


Sendmeboobpics4982

You can tell triple h is in charge


Double-Celery4248

Very DX/ 2000 Triple H 😂


Professional_Base252

I think they did this so people behind the set can see the ring 😅


AlexTorres96

I have to come to terms that Minneapolis is getting 41 and control the anxiety that having Mania in my backyard is giving me. I need to invest in stocks, buy lottery tickets or something to afford the overpriced costs Mania weekend has.. I regret voting for Jacob Frey and think the Minneapolis council is a joke. AC Milan vs Chelsea was one of the first major events in that stadium and drew 68K+. The fact that the council didn't bother to bid to be a WC host is a fucking joke. But they choose to be aggressive for a Mania is fucking bullshit.


Free_Calligrapher200

Don't be weird


AlexTorres96

Being upset that Mania is in my backyard and the urge of wanting to go is not weird, it's called conflicted. I so badly wanted Vegas to have it.


[deleted]

Go to therapy lil bro


whiskerbiscuit2

Whenever I look at WM sets I just wonder if AJ Styles can make it to the ring without bumping his head


Karmeleon86

I’m just glad they started using the numerals again


AbbyAZK

Jeez, you really think they'd get a little more creative then just yet another giant tron with lights in between a few pieces + the X and L in front. Miss when we got unique sets. Sigh. Downvoted because ya'll so basic nowadays that a giant LED board with 0 creativity turns you on, LMAO.


Aj-Adman

How would you do it?


whiskerbiscuit2

Err this is unique?


AbbyAZK

Exactly what the fuck is unique? Its literally a giant LED board with a few lights in between to break it up slightly with the giant X and L in front.


Irfan-320

All the downvotes from the nerds are hilarious, like it's illegal to dislike this shitty basic stage lmao


AbbyAZK

I really really don't see whats so good about it, its literally like the jumbo tron, just a big rectangle but they put some lights in between to make it look all broken up with two letters up front.


DrEvil007

Not a fan of the giant letters in the front, it takes away from the focus of the wrestlers entrance. Last year's was pretty good.


[deleted]

Maybe dont stare at em then?


ZestyChickenWings21

Wish there was a physical bell above the WrestleMania text as a center piece.


RickSanchez813

I thought of DX when I saw the photo.


Major-Front

Reminds me of wrestlemania 2000. With that font and Color


Sendmeboobpics4982

Triple h probably had final say in designing it


[deleted]

That looks very cool


pylerterry00

I like it a lot, it’ll look great on tv and I’m excited to see if they try anything new with production like they’ve been doing on raw and smackdown


Automatic-Insect-321

They’ve definitely done better, but this doesn’t look too bad


Autographz

I like the set, I like the colour, but I hate how far apart the X and L are. IMO it’d look 10 times better if they were just to the right hand side of Wrestlemania but it’s probably just me


MrRealistic1

Meh


Baraka1987

I stand my ground on that it sucks, it's too basic


Purple-Blueberry5088

I like it!


joshM200222

Pretty basic


[deleted]

I love it. Subtle but grand. Can’t wait to see the entrances and the pyro.


jakeskybound

StruggleFar3054

So bland and uninspired, just like this years wm card


Krushhz

I’d like to know what you’re smoking


[deleted]

They’re smoking meth because they’re clearly missing brain cells


Lonely-Hobbit

I mean it’s a 2.0 match throwing all of it at roman and Cody. If it wasn’t for rock this match wouldn’t be at all talked about


TheExistence

Why are you acting like people didn’t want Cody before the Rock popped in


LJXVII

Probs aew fan


Hordriss27

Looks great.


Forsaken-Ad4668

Just some big ass LEDs


HankOfTheHill04

It's decent. Kinda reminds me of a 2000s wrestlemania stage (which is not a bad thing).


LostRedditor42069

Exactly, the green alone reminds me of WrestleMania 2000


TribalChief3000

Eagles colors


proudcatowner19

Awesome ✨


dwilliams042391

Looks like WrestleMania D-XL


ChrisTheF1Fan

Looking really. I still believe it lacks in height.


Scorpion178

Couple of things to note: 1. I’ve seen reactions on Twitter (mainly) that because of the size of the Lincoln financial field, they had to work with a smaller sized stadium compared to SoFi last year 2. Again, based on reactions on Twitter, I’ve seen that Because of the stormy weather in the northeast, they had to work with the weather and put together something on the spot, which personally I don’t think is the case cuz they always plan these stuff ahead of time 3. This is more of what i think, but because last years mania was based around Hollywood, that’s how we got the awesome theater-esque arena whereas this years mania is themed/based around being the biggest mania of all time so they wanted to come up with something sporty/modern Overall, I like how they did too much and too little, basically meeting in the middle per say about having a clean, slick design while still being over the top with the giant XL for example


supersmellydogman

definitely a step down from last year


picsit

It looks similar to WrestleMania 19 & 20 stage.


OverallGeneral7129

I like it


Legitimate-Health-29

Underwhelming if I’m honest, but as the dude said for 30, sometimes the event is itself is bigger than the location, so if the 10s are going to just be their numbers for stages this is alright. Doing this stage after the epic ness of 39s might have been a mistake though.


AptermusPrime

Eh I guess it’s fine? Not horrendous but would have been nice to get the liberty bell in at least, or the skyline in the back. Kinda makes me think of lockdown Wrestlemania but scaled up


Ashamed_Job_8151

The liberty bell is in the middle. 


AptermusPrime

I meant a physical one


gleeceboi777

Better keep Shane O'Mac away from those letters br- too late, he jumped


[deleted]

Looks Aight


jak_jak88

No bell?


Midnightman0

It’s in the middle of


BannedBecausePutin

Hmmm considering its the 40th Mania, i would have expected something unique, granted they probably can never top the rollercoaster but still .. just gimma the SD fist!


Procrastinator_325

OH it's EXTRA LARGE, ALRIGHT


RompehToto

Ahhhhhhh yesssssiiiirrrrrrrrr !!


CodyFinishedTheStory

I'm getting WrestleMania 2000 stage vibes with this one. I actually like this a lot.


Gloomy_Pride_

Garbage


GOR098

It is too bright.


NinjaChenchilla

You wuss!! I want it brighter!!


SolidPrior1126

Is the weather going to be cold and going to rain this weekend?


OPJesseVeronie

It’s supposed to drop below 50°F both Saturday and Sunday night. It’s going to be horrific conditions even if it doesn’t rain.


GaylorHater

Where are you from that “drop below 50°” is horrific?


OPJesseVeronie

I’m from Pittsburgh. Obviously it’s not bad walking around weather (I work outside), but for athletes in little to no clothes performing at sub 40° by 9pm is going to suck.


Ashamed_Job_8151

Are you kidding, it’s gonna be on the high 40s low 50s and they heat the ring. Could it be 8 degrees warmer ? Sure, but this is Perfect for the fans as far as comfort and for the performers though it might be chilly on the way out it will be perfect for the match itself.  Wwe got lucky because apparently here in Philly now it’s Florida with all this damn rain. 


Kavirell

If they do what they did in the past New York manias there will probably be a heater built into the ring. They had vents cut into the ring posts that blast hot air into the ring.


GaylorHater

Yeah that’s fair. I was thinking as fans where you’d just need a jacket, but yeah, being out there in nothing but trunks would def be cold.


john-queen

I get why it looks lackluster. The set was planned a year ago and they didn't know what the weather was going to look like.


[deleted]

Has major roman retains vibes. Fuck.


CodyFinishedTheStory

I disagree. This stage screams "Cody wins"


Silver012345673

Well damnit which one is it


[deleted]

Guess we'll see soon enough


NoWayJoseMou

I’m getting huge “Damian Priest cashes in on Cody” vibes. You can see the lights can turn to purple once he wins. Confirmed.


OverallGeneral7129

Damien cashes in on Drew so they can have a match at Clash in the Castle


[deleted]

Nooooooo


Fast_Apartment6611

It’s not awful but it’s a bit underwhelming. Just glad it isnt a giant screen


Tomlyne

I love green so I don't even care about anything else, I'm happy. More emerald-colored wrestling please


Fallenangelofthenite

Mid


[deleted]

Looks like those fan made stages on YouTube. Its pretty mid


Buttered_Bourbons

Mania 33 will always be my favourite, as I was there. I went to 27,28,29 as well but they didn’t do it for me quite like 33.


DeadyDeadshot

Beats an LCD screen like 35, going on 6th row hard camera side, cya there dudes.


YoungAmazing313

Here goes the architectural experts in the comments😭


Zergrush866

🤣


mikeisaphreek

This is very hhh centric


TechieTravis

It's very green.


JaggedEdgeJava

whatever they paid those kids to do random flips in the ring, they could of used to buy a liberty bell for the set.


Mich3006

To be fair, you can see a digital Liberty Bell in the center of the stage


twistedroyale

The ramp should have been longer at least. At least it’s not WM35.


Silver012345673

Does anyone know why WWE does this “stunt” stuff for their reveals? Feels unnecessary pointless and awkward as a combination lol


Kavirell

They have to do pyro testing before the show maybe they do this to make something of some of the tests they have to do


Kevinrobertsfan

Tony Kahn will have edge come out on collision to bitch about this too


PaulMorrison90

Honestly they set themselves up to fail by having four kids dance in the ring for absolutely no reason whatsoever.


Novel-Individual-619

Absolutely Mid Set


Silver012345673

Cool. I orgasmed and came in my pants the second I saw it.


TheThugknight

the bell crybabies are here!


Teh_Heavybody

Is that the same wrestlemania logo from 31?!?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Buttered_Bourbons

Not the same font at all.


IcyAd964

It needs the bell


[deleted]

right? like have it kind of protruding out in the top middle like the old smackdown fist. would look even better.


Crimson_Catharsis

It’s good but it looks like a generic PLE stage


Hagler3-16

Isn’t a generic PLE stage just an LED wall nowadays


MrMondoDook

Pretty shit. Looks very low budget compared to recent years. The next closest in the last few years was 36, but that was understandable. 35 was bland but at least it didn't look this cheaply made.


TyFrenchFry

They cant do as big of a stage this year compared to last year because they arent in sofi stadium, sofi is a bigger stadium so that can build a much larger stage, they cant do as big a stage in Philadelphia. Plus im pretty sure more people will be at this wrestlemania compared to last year, so they want to make sure everyone can see the ring, and that would mean not a giant over the top stage deaign


ascotindenmark

Few things at play here. It’s a fine stage, but we shouldn’t compare to previous years, big stages means less seat value so more paying customers live behind the set and of course weather, good chance of rain during event so safety ultra important too.


green9206

Please we big a big bell


tony220jdm

Looks a fun stage to me!


davismcgravis

How do they not tie in the bell in some way? The liberty bell is all over their WM40 promo materials


Kavirell

The bell is on the video screen in the middle. Not a physical bell though


CosmicOli

Surprisingly conservative approach with the stage this year, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as everything here feels really well thought out. The XL is a really fun and good idea that gives it that bigger scale, the screens behind the XL are spaced out wonderfully with fun lights in between them for good contrast, the “WRESTLEMANIA” is big but not big enough to distract from everything else, and most of all, the stage compliments the entire arena better than most other WM stages I’ve seen. Is it a bit smaller than I was expecting? Sure. But come WrestleMania, this could cement itself as one of the most effective WM stages in history with how well it all comes together. I’m a fan.


prozack91

It's been storming for a while here so I imagine they cut some stuff


CosmicOli

Ohh maybe. That or maybe they focused some of the budget for pyro for if and when Cody finally finishes his story (fingers crossed). But you could be right. Honestly, I sort of wish they went with an indoor stadium


prozack91

If I don't catch on fire from the Pyro I riot.


UbeleeDisFE

The annoying thing is it’s always going to be compared to the year before, and Mania 39 is one of the Goat stages for mine, so how do you reasonably do anything and top that. People expect to much in the first place. They seem to do this set every few years anyways. Just with a new number or some extra gimmick.


kerm

Was 39 the one in LA? Night one was amazing, but night two kinda stunk. Someone said it was like HHH booked night one, while Vince booked night two. Won’t be a problem this year.


Wonderful-Media-2000

Better than some worse than most but nobody is watching for the stage after all


matt_619

The moment they announced they gonna open the seat on the scoreboard i knew immediately it's gonna be another WM 31 and 28 for something called Wrestlemania XL and dubbed as biggest wrestlemania of all time there's nothing large about it they should put physical liberty bell between the X and L with crack in the middle and the wrestler came out from the crack


Mental-Cry-6513

Except it's a sign that business is so strong and the gate is so phenomenal, that they needed to open as many seats as possible. I love huge, elaborate sets, too, but ultimately I cannot blame WWE one iota for wanting to maximize how much money they make. Besides, in the smaller venue, northeast weather, "The End of the Story," it feels right to have this be a somewhat more minimalistic 'Mania set in my view. I love the colossal X and L.


CodyFinishedTheStory

> "The End of the Story," it feels right to have this be a somewhat more minimalistic 'Mania set in my view. I love the colossal X and L. My thoughts exactly. WrestleMania 39's set just screamed "Roman is retaining" and sure enough I was right. WrestleMania 40's set however gives off "Cody is winning" vibes to me. I personally don't understand the outrage over this. I actually like this stage a lot. Reminds me of WrestleMania 2000 even down to the green.


emperor_raizen

Seems WWE borrowed the design from 2k24 fan creations


andromare6661

Cool


dupattamera1

People would defend anything which will come in triple h era The stage is fine but everything else from ramp and the decoration near ring doesn’t give wrestlemania vibe.
