WWE has announced three matches for WrestleMania Goes Hollywood so far.
Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will face Cody Rhodes, WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair will face Rhea Ripley, and WWE Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair will face Asuka.
The second night of the event is expected to feature Rhodes vs. Reigns as the main event, though this has not yet been confirmed. Based on what WWE has done on television, Brock Lesnar vs. Omos and Bobby Lashley vs. Bray Wyatt are likely to be added to Mania. Ronda Rousey and Shayna Bazler are expected to compete for the Women’s Tag Team Titles. Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos are expected to be challenged by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
Since their match is currently considered to be the second-biggest on the card, Flair has been publicly urging WWE to let her and Ripley headline the opening night.
Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the internal feeling in WWE is that Flair vs. Ripley is the main event of night 1.
Meltzer wrote, “Reigns vs. Rhodes is expected to headline the second night. There is no decision on the main event past an internal feeling that Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley right now is the favorite. There is a push feeling for sponsors and political reasons after men main evented both nights last year it would be good for a women’s match to headline and the feeling Flair vs. Ripley is stronger than Bianca Belair vs. Asuka for the spot. If there is Usos vs. Zayn & Kevin Owens, one would think that would be the other favorite.”
WrestleMania takes place on April 1 and 2, 2023, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
