Update On Reported WWE WrestleMania 38 Main Events
Here's what matches WWE has in mind for both nights at WrestleMania 38.
Sports Illustrated's Justin Barrasso's WWE sources tell him that Brock Lesnar is likely leaving Saturday's Elimination Chamber show in Saudi Arabia as the new WWE Champion. That, SI reports, will firm up plans to book a 'Champion vs. Champion' bout between Brock and current Universal Champ Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 38.
Currently, that match is pencilled in to headline night two of 'Mania this April.
The other headliner in Dallas that weekend? Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey. Their SmackDown Women's Title showdown is expected to main event night one of WrestleMania - that could change if Steve Austin is indeed wrestling Kevin Owens on the card, but that's guesswork until 'Stone Cold' is made official.
Here's another interesting Chamber note: Barrasso's sources told him that WWE views Austin Theory as a future World Champion too. However, Saturday's show and the 'Mania hubbub comes just too soon for Vince McMahon's on-screen associate/lackey.
He'll be a sacrificial lamb for Lesnar alongside Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins, Riddle and AJ Styles. Then, Brock will march on to Texas and work a 'Champ vs. Champ' scenario with Reigns.
