6 Match Star Ratings From WWE WrestleMania 40 Night 2

Extending WrestleMania across two nights was a badly needed and well overdue development - when WWE was actually afraid of the growing wider wrestling world, in the mid-to-late 2010s, and set about warehousing as much talent as possible.

It's still probably the best way to go about it, even if the scope of the roster is the same size as it was when WWE promoted four-hour one-night stadium shows years earlier. That approach yielded its own issues, in that WWE sometimes struggled to sequence the card properly - more than one match died when it shouldn't have - and, moreover, a lot of emerging midcard acts never got (sorry) their 'Moment'. The two night split is the best compromise.
