Professional wrestling sits at the crossroads of sport and showbusiness, and its biggest names have become genuine global celebrities. The outcomes may be scripted, but the athleticism, risk and connection with the crowd are entirely real. Few performers work harder for their fame. That backdrop is what makes a matchup like this one resonate beyond the box scores.
