is one of the biggest spectacles in sports.
It is the premier event for the , combining the fanfare of the Super Bowl with the hard-hitting action of combat sports. The top feuds in the company will come to an end while fans hold out hope of a major return or a surprise appearance from one of their favorite stars.
For the pro wrestlers themselves, the event means just a bit more. Its the culmination of everything they have worked for and a chance to showcase their skills to an audience of thousands in a stadium and millions watching at home.
WWE stars Bayley, Jade Cargill and others told Fox News Digital what WrestleMania meant to them.
You can just look around this room and see it bring so many people together. Theres so many events going on. So many people can actually come and meet their favorite wrestler. And for me, thats what its all about. It doesnt matter whats going on in your life, wrestling can just take it all away and get to be a bit more personal with that. Its great for me.
“A lot of people who dont watch pro wrestling will watch WrestleMania. I feel like this is the Mecca to the point where it is equivalent to the Super Bowl. People who are kind of on the fringe, only hear about pro wrestling, are going to watch this event. Our performers and our athletes in this company, people were co-workers with, go out there and really do give it everything theyve got in order to capture those people.”
“To me, WrestleMania when I was a kid always felt like it was on another planet because of the theatrics because of the stage, the fireworks, the people dressed up â like, not just the wrestlers and performers but the people in the crowd. They treat it like theyre going to prom or theyre going to a 50th wedding anniversary. They plan all-year long and they dress up for it and theyre prepared. And it just seemed like its on another plant, like it was so far out of reach because when youre in the stadium, everybody whos there, nothing else matters in the world, you know? Like nothing on the outside of that stadium matters except whats there and only you and now, 80,000, 90,000 people are experiencing it together.
“And to me, thats a very special feeling thats hard to explain unless youre there. Even when you are watching on TV, its like you want to be there. To me, its very special because my family and friends, you know, they dont get to come to everything. They dont get to come to all the matches as much as they would love to, or WrestleMania is an excuse for them to leave the state, leave their house and to come all together and there for me but its just one of the rare times that everybody gets together. So, I believe that goes the same for fans as well. There might be a group of friends that they only see once a year and its at WrestleMania or you might only see your crazy uncle at WrestleMania. It just brings family and friends together and its a very special night ⦠two nights!”
“I think if everyone is on the same wavelength, this is the apex of everything theyve worked for all year long. This is the biggest show in pro wrestling. Everyone putting forth that effort makes the show that much greater. Its a spectacle man. Its the greatest thing in sports entertainment.”
“Everyone grew up watching WrestleMania. As a wrestler, thats the dream. Its the No. 1 thing in the wrestling world.”
“I mean, its like our Super Bowl. You wait all year long for it. This is where legends are made and its the biggest show of the year. Theres so much that goes into it and only the beset make the card.”
“Its our Super Bowl. All our storylines are coming to a close but also new storylines are forming as well because we have Raw on the Monday, which is the biggest Raw of the year after WrestleMania because storylines are coming out of Mania. Its the payoff to it all. Rhea and Is storyline started around February at Elimination Chamber, and it came out of nowhere. Its the p
