SuperSport viewers on DStv and GOtv will witness history on the days of Sunday 5 and Monday 6 April 2020, as for the first time ever in WWE history WrestleMania is held over two days!
The 36th edition of WWE’s most prestigious and famous event will take place at the company’s Performance Centre in Orlando Florida over 5 and 6 April, because it’s too big for just one night! In addition, three-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski will be the host of the event and is sure to bring an unexpected edge to proceedings.
The matches on the card include WWE legend The Undertaker facing AJ Styles. ‘Taker has a record of 24-2 at matches in WrestleMania and will be eager for a 25th win after Styles labelled him an old man and said he plans to end the Phenom’s career.
In the WWE women’s divisions, Rhea Ripley will battle Charlotte Flair for the NXT Women’s Championship, the SmackDown Women’s Championship will be decided by a Fatal Five Way Elimination match featuring Bayley v Lacey Evans v Naomi v Sasha Banks v Tamina and the Raw Women’s Championship will be defended by ‘The Man’ Becky Lynch as she comes up against the intimidating former MMA fighter, Shayna Baszler.
John Cena, one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time will face a unique challenge in his career when he comes up against the twisted mind of ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt, while the bad blood between two further legends, Edge and Rand Orton, will be settled by a Last Man Standing match – this is a hardcore match where a competitor will lose if they are unable to answer a ten-count after being downed.
The two headline clashes of WWE WrestleMania see the WWE Championship and WWE Universal Championship up for grabs. For the latter belt, the legendary Goldberg comes up against ‘The Big Dog’ Roman Reigns in a match where both will be looking to use a ‘spear’ as a key weapon in their arsenal.
The WWE Championship match sees the long-awaited meeting of titleholder Brock Lesnar and Royal Rumble winner Drew McIntyre. ‘The Chosen One’ has been building momentum in recent months and will back himself to overcome Lesnar and claim one of the elite championships for the first time in his career.
Until live sport resumes, SuperSport has converted its line-up to thematic channels for the foreseeable future. Fans of WWE and its Superstars can tune into SuperSport 9 for Relive WWE, which will feature some of the greatest sporting entertainment action, both past and present.
