The WrestleMania 40 Kickoff event was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Paul “Triple H” Levesque said the following to fans to start the festivities:
โI was there in the Attitude Era, and thatโs what everybody talks about, what a special time that was. We didnโt know it at the time, what was happening. But I can look it right now and I can see exactly what is going on. It is a new time. It is a new era. Imagine if you could go back in time to that attitude era and I was sitting there on the day that blew up. I was there on the day it took off. I was there when it all started. Well, whatever theyโre going to call this time, whatever history is going to say about it, it all starts right here. It all starts right now. Because everything, this is Wrestlemania 40, but everything up until this this moment has been to get us here. But this is just the end of the beginning. We are starting now.
Hereโs the thing. I want I want to thank all of you for this. I want to thank all of you for whatโs about to happen. But buckle up because weโre going to take one hell of a ride together. So with that said, with Wrestlemania looming in front of us, I just have one question for all of you. Are you ready? No, I said, Are you ready? Letโs do this!โ
