Top five surprises from Night 1 of WWE WrestleMania 40

Night 1 of WrestleMania 40 from Philadelphia was packed with surprises from start to finish.

Here, DAZN News ranks the top five surprises from the opening evening of WWE's biggest show of the year.

5. The Philadelphia Eagles make their presence felt

Just when Dominik Mysterio was about to smash a steel chair on his father Rey Mysterio's head, two large masked men from the crowd thwarted the attempt. They turned out to be the Philadelphia Eagles' own Jason Kelce, who recently announced his retirement, and his former teammate Lane Johnson.

Their save helped pave the way for Mysterio and teammate Andrade to defeat Dirty Dom and Santos Escobar.

4. Roman Reigns speared The Rock

The Rock and Roman Reigns had their hands raised in victory over Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins on Saturday night, but it looked dicey for tthem just a few moments earlier.

That's especially true when Reigns inadvertently speared his cousin to the mat.

They'd recover from the moment well, though, as The Rock went to extreme lengths to ensure that Bloodline Rules will be installed for Reigns' Undisputed WWE Universal Championship defense against Rhodes on Night 2 of WrestleMania 40.

3. R-Truth climbs the ladder and grabs the titles

Earlier in the six-pack ladder match, R-Truth had attempted to make a pinfall when his teammate, The Miz, once again had to explain the rules of the match to him.

Well, Truth wisened up enough to end the long-running joke and climb the ladder and snatch the Raw tag-team titles as The Awesome Truth became the new world champions. Just awesome.

2. Austin Theory and Grayson Waller become SmackDown Tag-Team Champions

With the deck stacked against them, A-Town Down Under defied all odds to become the new SmackDown tag champs. Plus, they did it in style ... which the WWE Universe will likely hear about weekly for as long as their reign should last.

1. Sami Zayn ends Gunther's longest Intercontinental Championship reign

Zayn took the longest Intercontinental Championship reign and made it disappear in miraculous fashion. But it was the rallying way he did it which makes it the No. 1 surprise from Night 1.

Gunther had all but buried Zayn, having crushed him with a series of powerbombs and two splashes off the top ropes.

But when Gunther scaled the top ropes for a third time, Zayn mustered just enough juice to blast him with a Helluva Kick and an impromptu brain buster from the top ropes.

Two more Helluva Kicks and Zayn pulled off the stunning upset.
