WWE Wrestlemania 40 Matches That May Steal the Show
Wrestlemania 40, WWE's marquee event, is finally happening this weekend. While many are abuzz about the Cody Rhodes Vs. Roman Reigns and The Rock and Roman Reigns Vs. Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins main events, plenty of great matches are scheduled for the weekend, including a few that might even steal the show.
The leadup to Wrestlemania 40 has been one of the most talked about in years, with The Rock's return to the WWE furthering the interest and his feud with Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins generating a lot of buzz, with many pointing out that he was overshadowing his cousin, fellow Bloodline member, Roman Reigns.
Despite this, there are still the undercard matches, and many of them are promising to be "bangers" as they, too, come with much anticipation as Wrestlemania 40 weekend is about to happen in Philadelphia.
5 Wrestlemania 40 Matches That May Steal the Thunder From the Main Events
According to USA Today, Wrestlemania 40 will have 13 matches, seven of which are title matches. However, we will not be talking about the two main events but the undercard matches, as Wrestlemania undercards have been known to outshine the subsequent main events.
WWE Intercontinental Championship match: Gunther (c) vs. Sami Zayn.
Gunther stole the show last year with his epic triple-threat match against Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. This year, he will defend it one-on-one against the man who main-evented last year's Wrestlemania Night 1, Sami Zayn. The two are excellent workers, and with Triple H allowing workers to shine, this one might even get 5 stars as well.

Six-Pack ladder match for Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships
WWE is known for having stellar ladder matches and this one promises to be another banger with Irishman Finn Balor and Puerto Rican big man Damian Priest defending both the Raw and Smackdown! Tag titles against five different challengers. The build-up has also been very good, as many want to see R-Truth get a much-deserved 'Mania win with his partner, The Miz.
However, they would also have to go through DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa) and the New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods). New Catch Republic (Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate) and A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory & Grayson Waller).
Jey Uso vs. Jimmy Uso
The twins are capable of 5-star matches, that much is certain, as they received five stars in their Wrestlemania 39 Night 1 main event against Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. This time, however, Rikishi's twin sons are finally feuding against one another in a one-on-one match over three decades in the making.
WWE Women's Championship: Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bayley
Another match with a stellar build, the implosion of Damage CTRL, has been handled very well, with both women due for a 5-star match of their own, and it may well happen at the "Showcase of the Immortals."
Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee vs. Santos Escobar & Dominik Mysterio
Four lucha libre sensations, including Rey Mysterio and rising stars Dragon Lee and Santos Escobar, plus one of the biggest heels in the industry, Ex-Con Dom. Nuf said.
