WWE Implementing Alterations for WrestleMania 40 Plans

WrestleMania 40 is fast approaching, scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 6, and Sunday, April 7, 2024, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. However, recent developments have led to significant changes in the creative plans for the event.

One of the major alterations in the WrestleMania 40 plans stems from the absence of Brock Lesnar. Initially, Lesnar was slated to make his return to WWE television at the Royal Rumble. Still, this plan was abruptly changed due to a sex trafficking lawsuit filed against Vince McMahon, in which Lesnar was mentioned. As a result, WWE decided not to include Lesnar in the show.

Dave Meltzer, in his Daily Update on F4Wonline.com, reported that these changes have triggered a domino effect in the creative plans for WrestleMania 40. The exact nature of these changes and the specific impact on other matches and storylines remains to be seen.

One of the anticipated matches for WrestleMania 40 was Lesnar vs. GUNTHER, likely for the Intercontinental Title. However, with Lesnar’s absence and the subsequent alterations in creative plans, it is unclear how this will affect the overall card and matchups for the event.

“The way it was explained to me is that it involves the creative plans for Brock Lesnar and a domino effect when the decision was made at the last minute to not have Lesnar on the show due to the lawsuit.”

As WrestleMania 40 draws nearer, fans can expect more developments and announcements regarding the updated card and storyline directions for WWE’s biggest event of the year.
