WrestleMania XXX

WrestleMania XXX (also written as WrestleMania 30) was the thirtieth annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE, which was held on April 27, 2014, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Background
WrestleMania is considered WWE's flagship event, and has also been described as the Super Bowl of sports entertainment.

On February 18, 2013, WWE announced that WrestleMania XXX would be held at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in the city of New Orleans on April 27, 2014. The event is alternatively known as WrestleMania 30. On August 12, 'travel packages' for WrestleMania XXX went on sale, which not only included tickets to WrestleMania but also hotel room accommodations and various 'WrestleMania Week' activities such as WrestleMania Axxess, the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony and the next Raw; the cheapest package cost $795 per person. On November 16, individual tickets went on sale through Ticketmaster, with prices ranging from $25 to $850. While ordering WrestleMania through pay-per-view television costs between $55 - $70, WWE has also made WrestleMania XXX available live through its new WWE Network online streaming service, which costs $9.99 per month with a six-month contract; thus WrestleMania would be the first event available simultaneously on pay-per-view and on the WWE Network.

The event was the first WrestleMania to be held in the state of Louisiana. There are three official theme songs for the event - "Celebrate" by Kid Rock, "Legacy" by Eminem and "In Time" by Mark Collie. A promotional poster for the event was released through pay-per-view providers such as In Demand, with the tagline laissez les bons temps rouler (let the good times roll).

Storylines
WrestleMania XXX featured professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines played out on WWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown. Wrestlers portrayed faces (heroes) or heels (villains) as they followed a series of events that build tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

The main storyline going into WrestleMania 30 is the ongoing war between Ciaran O'Donnell and Triple H's Corporate Structure stable. O'Donnell originally a member of the Structure turned face in early 2014 and left the group to which Triple H later vowed to make his life a living hell and that he would make sure that O'Donnell never became WWE Champion again.
