WrestleMania is one of the biggest spectacles in sports.It is the premier event for the WWE, combining the fanfare of the Super Bowl with the hard-hitting action of combat sports. The top feuds in the company will come to an end while fans hold out hope of a major return or a surprise appearance from one of their favorite stars.For the pro wrestlers themselves, the event means just a bit more. It’s the culmination of everything they have worked for and a chance to showcase their skills to an audience of thousands in a stadium and millions watching at home.WWE stars Bayley, Jade Cargill and others told Fox News Digital what WrestleMania meant to them.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMYou can just look around this room and see it bring so many people together. There’s so many events going on. So many people can actually come and meet their favorite wrestler. And for me, that’s what it’s all about. It doesn’t matter what’s going on in your life, wrestling can just take it all away and get to be a bit more personal with that.

People who are kind of on the fringe, only hear about pro wrestling, are going to watch this event.

They don’t get to come to all the matches as much as they would love to, or WrestleMania is an excuse for them to leave the state, leave their house and to come all together and there for me but it’s just one of the rare times that everybody gets together. So, I believe that goes the same for fans as well. There might be a group of friends that they only see once a year and it’s at WrestleM
