Christmas comes early for pro wrestling fans with sports entertainments' biggest annual weekend as WWE presents WrestleMania 38 on Saturday, April 2, and Sunday, April 3 from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Night one is highlighted by Ronda Rousey challenging for the SmackDown Women's title as she takes on Charlotte Flair, WWE icon "Stone Cold" Steve Austin appearing on the "KO Show" with former Universal champion Kevin Owens, Raw Women's champion Becky Lynch defending the belt against former titlist Bianca Belair, and Logan Paul and The Miz facing Rey and Dominik Mysterio.
Rousey won the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble in January and had her choice of picking Flair or Lynch to face at WrestleMania. She chose the former.
After Owens and Seth Rollins lost their opportunity to become Raw Tag Team champions on the March 7 edition of Raw, Owens came back out later in the show and invited Austin to appear on his talk show. One day later, Austin released a video to accept the offer and promised it will be more than him holding the microphone for a talking segment.
Night two is highlighted by the marquee match of the weekend as WWE Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar battles Universal champion Roman Reigns in a winner take all title unification match.
Lesnar and Reigns have been going at it since the former returned at SummerSlam to confront the latter. In October, they met at Crown Jewel, which Reigns cheated to win the matchup. Lesnar returned and ended up winning the WWE strap at Day 1. However, he lost it at the Royal Rumble against Bobby Lashley due to interference from Reigns. Later in the evening, Lesnar was a surprise entrant in the Men's Royal Rumble and won his second Royal Rumble. Two days later on Raw, Lesnar declared he decided to pick Reigns for "The Showcase of the Immortals".
Three weeks later, Lesnar regained the belt at the Elimination Chamber to set up the title vs. title clash.
Also on the second night, Pat McAfee takes on Austin Theory, and Johnny Knoxville meets Sami Zayn in a no-holds-barred affair.
