As WrestleMania week unfolded, WWE Superstars found themselves reflecting on the “new era” for the company, drawing comparisons to the iconic Attitude Era. Recent developments hint at the subtle confirmation of this transition.
Although Triple H clarified that the new era is still in its infancy and hasn’t fully materialized, WWE made a bold statement by introducing a revamped opening package just before WrestleMania.

Notably, this new intro appears to bid farewell to the prominent presence of Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar.
The long-standing “Then, Now, Forever” signature video package, which has greeted WWE audiences for years, has undergone a transformation.
The latest iteration bears a striking resemblance to Marvel intro videos, featuring WWE’s Chief Brand Officer Triple H providing the voiceover.
Gone are the iconic catchphrases, replaced by The Game’s solemn declaration of “Then, Now, Forever, Together.”
The commencement of WrestleMania saw Michael Cole emphasizing the dawn of the Triple H era, a sentiment reinforced by the altered intro.
Triple H’s commanding voice now dominates the opening sequence, replacing the familiar voices and catchphrases of wrestling legends.
It’s noteworthy that Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar are conspicuously absent from the revamped video.
Instead, the spotlight shines on contemporary stars such as Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, The Rock, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, alongside past and present luminaries who have left an indelible mark on WWE’s history.
