WWE seemingly chose to put most of its high-profile matches on the second night of WrestleMania 36, which will include four title matches, the in-ring return of Edge and a highly-anticipated showdown between “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt and John Cena.
Edge is seeing his first in-ring action in nine years and will take on Randy Orton in a highly personal match. Orton has done everything in his power to force Edge back into retirement, but the “Rated R Superstar” isn’t having it and looks to prove to Orton why he deserves to be back in the WWE.
Charlotte Flair takes her championship opportunity from winning this year’s Royal Rumble to take on the NXT Women’s Champion, Rhea Ripley. Flair looks to recapture the title that started her journey to stardom in the WWE while Ripley wants to prove that she can hang with the best of them.
NXT could see a massive shift in its weekly programming if Charlotte pulls out the victory.
Speaking of Royal Rumbles, Drew McIntyre won his match to earn a title shot at Brock Lesnar. McIntyre has waited years for this opportunity and will look to take the WWE Championship off of Brock and be a regular part of Monday Night RAW again.
And finally, John Cena returns to have a match with his old rival Bray Wyatt. “The Fiend” looks to get revenge on Cena for what happened at WrestleMania 30, but can Cena overcome the odds again when he’s duking it out with Wyatt in a Firefly Fun House match?
If you enjoyed the Boneyard match between AJ Styles and The Undertaker from Saturday, you won’t want to miss this.
