More eyes are on the WWE than ever as the company’s biggest show, WrestleMania, returns this weekend.
Known as the biggest pro wrestling show in the world, theWWE’smove to Netflix means that watching the shows is easier than ever.
With two intriguing main events this weekend, many are expected to stay up until the wee hours on these shores (yours truly included), but when does the show begin in Ireland, and just how screwed are wrestling fans going to be come Monday morning (thank you Bank Holiday)?

WrestleMania 41 will take place across two nights this Easter weekend, and will start in Ireland at 12am midnight on Sunday, April 20, and Monday, April 21.
As for how you can watch it, the two-night spectacular will be available live on Netflix, so if you have a Netflix account, you'll be able to watch it for no additional cost.
Or, if you don't want to stay up all night to watch, you can tune in the next day.
Any interesting matches on?
Naturally, it's all about the main events, and the two marquee matches have two men who have piqued the interests of many fans and non-fans alike.
Night two of WrestleMania will see newly heeled John Cena challenge Cody Rhodes (son of legendary wrestler Dusty) for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
The reason such a match will be of massive interest to both wrestling fans and the mainstream, is mainly due to the dynamic between the two entertainers.
John Cena became a bad guy for the first time since 2003, when he turned on Cody in his quest for trying to break the record for most recognised world title reigns.
Should he beat Cody, he'll have been a world champion 17 times, beating Ric Flair's long-standing record.
As for night one's main event, CM Punk will finally main event the show of shows after he first signed for the company (including an incredibly acrimonious nine-year departure from the company), when he faces Seth Rollins (Mr Becky Lynch) and Roman Reigns.
The pair have been feuding on and off for the last decade since the split up of The Shield so this triple threat match has a lot riding on it.
Other matches include World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER facing Jey Uso, who won the Royal Rumble earlier this year, for the title, while YouTube nuisance and annoyingly good wrestler Logan Paul will face professional wrestling legend AJ Styles in a grudge match.
Any Irish wrestlers?
Yes!
Ireland will have two people flying the flag on night two (Sunday night) when Bray's Finn Bálor will face luchador Penta, Dominik Mysterio (son of Rey Mysterio; yes, we're that old now), and champion Bron Breakker, son of former tag team legend Rick Steiner, for the Men's Intercontinental Championship.
Also on the card will be the Women's Intercontinental Champion and Dublin's own Lyra Vakyria teaming up with beloved women's wrestler Bayley, as they face Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the Women's Tag Team championship.
