During WrestleMania 39’s Saturday event, WWE made a significant blunder by apparently using footage from the Auschwitz concentration camp to promote the match between Dominik Mysterio and Rey Mysterio. The company has not made any public comments regarding the issue, but many fans noticed and expressed their outrage.
The match between Dominik and Rey had been heavily promoted on TV in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania, with Dominik portraying the character of Prison Dom and pestering his father until he agreed to face him at the event. The blunder occurred during the kick-off show for WrestleMania Saturday, when WWE used footage from Auschwitz to hype the match.
Many people have criticized this mistake, calling it insensitive and offensive. It remains unclear how the error happened or who was responsible, but it is likely that WWE officials will be unhappy with the situation.
Despite the blunder, WrestleMania 39 Saturday had several exciting matches and moments. Charlotte Flair defended her title against Rhea Ripley, Logan Paul faced Seth Rollins, and Pat McAfee made a surprise return to compete against The Miz. The main event featured an emotional match between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, who won the Undisputed Tag Titles against The Usos.
The second night of WrestleMania 39 on Sunday promises to be just as thrilling, with matches such as Gunther vs. Sheamus vs. Drew McIntyre, Edge vs. Finn Balor, and Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes. Despite the blunder during the first night, fans are still excited about WWE’s biggest event of the year.
