WWE WrestleMania 38 is almost here. The 2022 edition of wrestling’s centrepiece event is fast-approaching with a self-professed ‘the most stupendous two-night event in WrestleMania history’ tag line accompanying the build-up.
Two WrestleMania events have been held with limited – or zero – attendance since the start of the COVID era and the company will be determined to light up Texas with a six-digit crowd expected to cheers on superstars from across the WWE universe.
The match card is still shrouded in secrecy as usual, but expect a ferocious line-up of talent to take to the stage in a celebration of live action, high-octane events.
This is the third WrestleMania event with Brock Lesnar versus Roman Reigns in the main event. Both stars dominate the promotional material as they gear up for a unification fight between the WWE Championship and Universal Championship holders respectively.
As always, it’s not just the current roster of WWE superstars expected to feature at WrestleMania. You can count on a handful of celebrities to show up in or around the ring throughout the night but perhaps the biggest name has already been announced. Yes, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is back, people.
