WrestleMania 41 is taking place tonight in Paradise, Nevada. Shawn Michaels made a special appearance on the show.

Shawn Michaels is a name that has been tied to WrestleMania for several years. He is known fondly as Mr. WrestleMania due to his number of iconic moments and matches on the show. However, he hasn't competed at the event since he last faced The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26 in one of the greatest matches in the show's history. Currently, HBK is busy as the head booker of NXT, which also keeps him busy during WrestleMania week due to Stand & Deliver.

Tonight, on Night One of WrestleMania 41, the WWE Hall of Famer made a special appearance. He said that it had been an incredible night of action and acknowledged the title changes earlier in the show. Michaels also said that the night was not over yet before he revealed the attendance number for the show, which is 61,467. He also announced that the show had been sold out.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
