Yaass!! It’s WrestleMania baby!!! (Some trivia: The theme music in the link above, which is obviously the best in sports entertainment history, was produced by none other than Simon Cowell.)

So, onto business. WrestleMania 32 takes places AT&T Stadium in Arlington Texas, with insiders claiming that some 80,000 tickets have already been sold. There’s a genuine chance for WWE to break past the 100,000 attendance threshold for the event, but with a meaningful chunk of the roster injured (Cesaro, Seth Rollins, John Cena, Randy Orton, Nikki Bella) the company has an uphill struggle generating buzz for this year’s show.

And yet there’s already a match in the line-up that fans are going crazy for. We’ve listed that below, along with all the other matches confirmed for the show. (This article will be updated in the days and weeks leading up to event on April 3 to reflect the full match card. Stay tuned.)

WrestleMania Main Event

Triple H (c) vs Roman Reigns

For the WWE Championship

This year’s Royal Rumble was unique in that the champion on the night, Roman Reigns, defended his title in the thirty-man battle royal. To the deafening roar of hardcore thirtysomethings, he lost, finishing at 28th after an (unsurprising) surprise entrance from WWE chief operating officer Triple H.

A rivalry between Triple H and Roman Reigns dates as far as two years back, when Evolution and The Shield had a feud in the aftermath of WrestleMania 30. Twelve months ago, that rivalry appeared to lose steam, but since Survivor series in November, on-screen tension between the two characters has gradually built again.

After losing his belt at Royal Rumble 2016, Reigns went on to win the triple-threat match for the number-one contender spot at the Fastlane pay-per-view, thus earning his rematch babyface style. The next night on Raw, he received a bloody beat-down at the hands of Triple-H.

Currently there is no stipulation to this Main Event match, but don’t be surprised if the rivalry escalates to the stage where it becomes a no-disqualification bout.

Undercard

Charlotte (c) vs Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch – Triple-Threat Match

For the WWE Women’s Championship

This makes it three WrestleManias in a row where a major singles championship has been decided in a Triple-Threat Match. While that’s usually the telltale sign of an eleventh-hour fix to a patchy storyline (with Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins both thrown into the past two main events), this time the circumstances are a little different.

Because as tremendous it would be to see Charlotte and Sasha Banks bring their NXT-style of mercilessly physical and emotional fights to the biggest stage in pro wrestling, Becky Lynch is simply becoming too good to overlook. All three competitors, in fact, have begun to ascend the Divas division in the manner that fans initially hoped, following a rather clumsy introduction to the main roster in July. Charlotte has become one of the best heels in WWE, Sasha Banks is gradually showing how she adds spark to her matches, and Becky continues to rise to the occasion when it matters most.

Only eight months ago these three incredibly passionate female wrestlers were still in the process of graduating from NXT. Seeing each one share the ring at WrestleMania, even before the bell rings, will be a sight to behold.

The Undertaker vs Shane McMahon – Hell in a Cell

(Shane takes control of Monday Night RAW if victorious)

Succeeding as one of the most scintillating and epic moments in the past several years that even the most hardcore fans did not see coming, on Monday February 22nd Shane McMahon made his triumphant return to WWE after a seven-year absence. The immediate response to his appearance was borderline delirium; you need to check it out in the video here if you’ve not seen it.

His match against The Undertaker is fascinating, as his win condition (taking control of RAW) could foretell a brand split between Smackdown and RAW–something which has been rumoured for weeks.

So, as unimaginable as it seems that this 46 year-old entrepreneur will defeat the man with a 22-1 record at WrestleMania, there is a chance. A chance. A chance that Shane McMahon will beat the Undertaker. In a Hell in a Cell. At WrestleMania. I know; crazy times.

Brock Lesnar vs Dean Ambrose – Street fight

There are few greater mismatches at the grand stage than this. In the three years since WrestleMania 29, the popular shield alumnus Dean Ambrose has been circling WWE’s creative black hole of 50/50 booking, losing to a whole manner of rivals such as Bray Wyatt and Bad News Barrett. In fact, for more than a year he failed to win at any single pay-per-view event.

By contrast, in that same time frame Brock Lesnar hasn’t been pinned once. He conquered John Cena at SummerSlam 2014 in what should be remembered as the most-watched squash-match in WWE history. Even more unbelievably, he put an end to The Undertaker’s 21-0 undefeated streak at WrestleMania.

But that’s part of the magic. WWE is treating this as a true underdog match, with Ambrose showing no fear (or indeed sense) in his pursuit of Lesnar. This is a street fight too, which gives WWE’s creative team more options in portraying a more convincing way for Ambrose to get over. If he does, and that’s a huge if, he would be propelled to main event status. That alone should tell you this contest isn’t as much a foregone conclusion as the tale-of-the-tape suggests.

Loose ends

Even at this late stage, WWE is keeping its fans guessing by announcing a one-off PPV called Roadblock, due to air on March 12, just three weeks ahead of WrestleMania. The main event, Triple H vs Dean Ambrose for the WWE Championship, would disrupt not one but two WM matches if Ambrose wins.

Also set for the event is a showdown between Bray Wyatt and Brock Lesnar, which (especially if Ambrose wins) could restart a feud between the two that began at The Royal Rumble.

Two key issues that remain unclear is The Rock’s involvement at the show, as well as what tag team will be booked with The New Day. Seeds have been planted for a possible Ryback showdown with Kalisto, as well as an unexpected bout between Lana and Brie Bella. Another surprise is the possibility of Sami Zayn taking on Kevin Owens.
