WWE WrestleMania 39 concluded with a mix of thrilling matches and memorable moments, but the night will be forever tainted by an unfortunate incident that left several fans trapped inside the SoFi Stadium after the show ended. The evening’s highlights included Charlotte Flair defending her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Rhea Ripley, John Cena vs Austin Theory for the United States Championship, and Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens defeating The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships. The crowd was euphoric as the show came to a close, but their excitement was short-lived as fans in attendance soon discovered they were unable to exit the venue.
As the reality of the situation set in, frustrated fans took to Twitter to share their dismay, uploading videos of the chaos and commotion inside the SoFi Stadium. One fan even started a chant of “SoFi sucks” as fans remained trapped inside the venue. The posts highlighted the poor design and security of the stadium, with one fan describing it as the “worst possible stadium” they had ever been to. Another fan sarcastically remarked that at least the wrestling event itself was great.

It wasn’t until the fire exits were opened that fans were finally able to make their way out of the building, leaving many of them feeling distraught and disappointed. The incident has left a sour taste in the mouths of fans, who will likely remember WrestleMania 39 Night One for all the wrong reasons. Despite the event being one of the best Premium Live Events in recent memory, the unfortunate mishap is likely to cast a shadow over the evening for years to come.
As WWE prepares for WrestleMania 39 Night Two, fans are eagerly anticipating what the next day will bring. Unfortunately, the incident has raised questions about the stadium’s preparedness for large events and the handling of crowd control. It is to be hoped that measures will be taken to prevent a similar incident from occurring again.
