While everyone celebrates WrestleMania for what the WWE Superstars achieve in the ring, there is so much more that goes into making the event a success.
One of the things that WWE has become famous for is its opening and closing video packages, especially for huge shows such as WrestleMania.
Have you ever wondered how those video sequences get put together? Well, wonder no more as a member of the video editing team has shared a behind-the-scenes look at the process online.
In the clip on TikTok, fans are given a sneak peek at the closing package for WrestleMania 39 night one coming together. Each match is edited live, and then the chosen clips are quickly stitched together and added to what will be the final sequence. Impressively, the main event is edited and added to the master sequence as the show is ending, meaning it’s completed right before it’s broadcast.
