WWE WrestleMania XL (40) Stage Reveal Part 1: Cody Rhodes Entrance & Pyro Animation

Hey! Follow @ Coast2CoastDesign on TikTok:   / coast2coastdesign  

Another year, another fantastic time creating our annual WrestleMania stage concept! For this year's set, we were inspired by the match card graphics and decided to emulate the cyberpunk green and yellow motif. Very proud with how this turned out!

Part 2 of this year's WrestleMania 40 stage reveal, featuring Roman Reigns' entrance, will be released in the coming days as we wrap it up.

We have a lot of folks to thank this time around!

@ALEX190 for the Cody Rhodes Skull Animation
@bigbanghuy for the WrestleMania skyline graphic
