Why’s that, you ask? Well, that’s because Orange County will be in total lockdown as of 11pm tomorrow due to the ongoing chaos seen across the globe.

Despite this, however, there is still some major uncertainty surrounding this two-day edition of the company’s annual Showcase of the Immortals.

Courtesy of Fightful Select, WWE officials are still yet to nail down just which matches will headline each of WrestleMania's two nights.

There is believed to still be ongoing discussions over which contests will close out each night of the Granddaddy of Them All, with RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch defending the gold against Shayna Baszler initially planned to close out the first night of WrestleMania.

In recent days though, there has been talk of instead having Universal Champion Bill Goldberg vs. Roman Reigns headlining on the Saturday. And at this stage, it remains to be seen which match WWE will ultimately go with as having top billing on that first day.

As for the Sunday, WWE Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton vs. Edge seem to be the main contenders to main event ‘Mania’s second day.
