WrestleMania match card: Ronda Rousey, Batista, Brock Lesnar confirmed, NO John Cena
WRESTLEMANIA is now just days away and will be headlined by women for the first time. Express Sport takes you through the match card for the entire event.
Ronda Rousey will collide with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in a Triple Threat match with both the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championships on the line.
The biggest match on the men’s side sees Universal Champion Brock Lesnar defend against Seth Rollins.
And Kofi Kingston will have a chance to achieve his dream when he takes on Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at the entertainment extravaganza.
A number of other high profile matches have also been announced but John Cena and the Undertaker are conspicuous by their absence.
Triple H will renew an old rivalry with Batista in a No Holds Barred contest while Shane McMahon is set to take on The Miz in a Falls Count Anywhere match.
Kurt Angle is scheduled to face Baron Corbin in his farewell to the squared circle although rumours are rife that Cena could replace Corbin on the night itself.
Roman Reigns will look for a WrestleMania moment when he goes one-on-one with Drew McIntyre just a few weeks after returning from Leukaemia.
Several other titles will also be on the line as the United States Champion Samoa Joe defends again Rey Mysterio.
The Master of the 619 is now a doubt for this match though as he suffered an injury on RAW in a match against Baron Corbin.
WWE: Becky Lynch ATTACKED by Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania
‘The Demon’ Finn Balor is set to appear at MetLife Stadium as he challenges Bobby Lashley for the Intercontinental Championship and there will be a Fatal 4 Way Tag Team match for the Women’s Tag Team titles.
That one sees Beth Phoenix return to the ring as she teams with Natalya.
Buddy Murphy will defend the Cruiserweight Championship against Tony Nese while AJ Styles and Randy Orton will square off in a dream match.
