WrestleMania 40 proved to be the biggest event in the history of WWE's mega-show, as far as CCO Paul 'Triple H' Levesque is concerned.
WrestleMania 40 was the promotion's fifth-annual two-night 'Mania, a tradition that began during the Covid-19 pandemic. The show has been met with praise from fans with Cody Rhodes' victory over Roman Reigns in the WrestleMania 40: Sunday main event being a notable highlight.
Speaking on the post-WrestleMania 40: Sunday press conference, Levesque addressed the success of the show and of WrestleMania week.
You hear a lot of hyperbole coming into these things. 'Greatest WrestleMania of all time, biggest WrestleMania of all time'... A lot of times that stuff and said, and you move on. But I do feel like this was the biggest WrestleMania of all time. I really do. And when you break it down... This was legitimately on every metric the biggest WrestleMania of all time.
The 14-time WWE World Champion added that whether you look at the gate, social media, or various other metrics from WrestleMania or WWE World, all the numbers back up his claim.
The Paul Levesque Era
This year's WrestleMania was truly a historic show, as it marked the first time ever that Vince McMahon did not oversee the show. In place of the disgraced ex-Chairman, Levesque served as the creative head of the show and welcomed fans to WrestleMania at the start of the Saturday event. At WWE WrestleMania 40: Sunday, Stephanie McMahon spoke of ushering in the 'Paul Levesque Era' and welcomed fans to the show. WWE also recently filed a trademark for the 'Renaissance Era.'
