WrestleMania 39, one of the top wrestling events of the year, is set to take place on April 1 and 2, 2023, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. This year’s event features a dual-night format, with several matches scheduled on each night. Fans are eagerly anticipating the stacked card and dynamic storylines for this year’s event.

The Host and Celebrities

The host of this year’s WrestleMania is none other than The Miz (Mike Mizanin), who will also serve as the emcee for the event. The former WWE champion has a long history with the company and brings his own unique style to the role.

Several celebrities are set to make an appearance at WrestleMania 39, including Hollywood superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The legendary wrestler and actor is one of the most iconic figures in WWE history and his presence is sure to excite fans.

How to Watch WrestleMania 39

For fans who want to watch WrestleMania 39 without cable, Peacock is the exclusive home of WWE in the US streaming service. The service offers live streaming of both nights’ events and provides an array of other wrestling content.

WrestleMania 39 will air live on Peacock on Saturday and Sunday night beginning at 8 p.m. ET. Additionally, pay-per-view options are available for those who prefer that option.

Top Storylines for WrestleMania 39

One of the most noteworthy storylines for WrestleMania 39 is the feud surrounding “The Bloodline.” This group consists of real-life cousins Roman Reigns (Joe Anoa’i), Jimmy Uso (Jonathan Fatu), Jey Uso (Josh Fatu), and Solo Sikoa (Joseph Fatu).

Reigns, who is the undisputed WWE universal champion, will defend his title against Cody Rhodes (Cody Runnels). Rhodes has a chance to become the undisputed WWE Universal champion and potentially hand Reigns his first singles loss since Dec. 2019 in the main event.

Charlotte Flair (Ashley Fliehr), daughter of legendary 16-time world champion Ric Flair, will defend the WWE Smackdown women’s championship against Rhea Ripley. Ripley won the women’s Royal Rumble match and poses a significant challenge to Flair’s reign.

In addition, Lucha libre legend Rey Mysterio Jr. (Óscar Gutiérrez) will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on the night before WrestleMania and then go on to compete against son Dominik Mysterio (Dominik Gutiérrez).

WrestleMania 39 Matches

The full lineup of matches for Nights 1 and 2 have been announced on ESPN’s First Take.

Night 1 will feature The Usos putting their record tag team title reign on the line against the team of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Zayn was an ally to The Bloodline but their partnership disintegrated at the Royal Rumble when Zayn refused to attack Owens.

The men’s WrestleMania showcase match features no less than eight tag teams. The event will include the Street Profits, Alpha Academy, Braun Strowman and Ricochet, and The Viking Raiders.
