SmackDown recap
WrestleMania may be yet to start but WrestleMania weekend is already well underway.
SmackDown took place last night, followed by the Hall of Fame and then NXT's Stand and Deliver was held earlier today.
The go-home episode of SmackDown delivered. The Rock and Roman Reigns were not present, but Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins were, with the former giving his final promo before taking on Roman Reigns tomorrow for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Randy Orton and Kevin Owens also attacked Logan Paul, Andrade got into the Mysterio civil war match (more on that later) and The Judgement Day made their presences felt.
A HUGE crowd expected in Philadelphia
I've been thinking about how to approach this live blog tonight. I've done a lot of football and I don't support a big team - it's Gillingham (laughs) - so have never really struggled with being a 'fan'.
With wrestling, I am a fannnnnnn. And I'm not going to lie, I am hyped. I would assume if you are following our coverage tonight you are a fan too, so let's be fans together and really enjoy this.
The fans are already fleeing into the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, which will be sold out tonight.
Night one card
We have a big night ahead - American readers, you are lucky! - so let's detail the card that is ahead of us tonight.
The match order is unclear, bar the main event...

Ohhhh boy!
Hello one and all and welcome to Mail Sport's live coverage for WrestleMania weekend!
It's the biggest two nights of the year in wrestling and potentially the biggest WrestleMania ever. I think that makes it the biggest weekend in the history of wrestling, right?
I'm Lewis Browning and I'll be here both nights to talk you through all the action. We have so, so much ahead of us, and I cannot wait.
Strap - and I do not say this lightly - in.
