Full match card
The full details are yet to be released but we do know a number of matches which will happen already.
Reigns is already confirmed to face Lesnar for the Universal title while Nakamura challenges AJ Styles for the WWE title after winning the Royal Rumble in January. Women’s Royal Rumble winner Asuka has finally declared that she will face Smackdown Live champion Charlotte Flair with the former NXT star’s unbeaten streak on the line, as well as the title. Rousey will make her debut for the WWE in a mixed tag match alongside Raw General Manager Angle against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
The Bar will put their Raw tag team titles on the line against Braun Strowman… although he does not yet have a partner, while The Usos are still to learn their opponents. Raw women’s champion Alexa Bliss is also so far without an opponent, with the US title match yet to be confirmed. The Intercontinental strap is set for a triple threat match between holder The Miz, Seth Rollins and Finn Balor.
Confirmed card so far:
Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns (Universal championship)
AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura (WWE championship)
Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle vs Stephanie McMahon & Triple H
Charlotte Flair vs Asuka (Smackdown Live women’s championship)
The Miz vs Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins (Intercontinental championship)
Cruiserweight championship tournament final

Will The Undertaker return?
The Undertaker seemingly hung up his hat and trench coat after suffering only his second-ever Wrestlemania loss to Roman Reigns last year, with the WWE universe only seeing him once since – in a non-wrestling appearance at Raw’s 25th anniversary show.
John Cena has challenged the Deadman to a dream match at Wrestlemania and is likely to get his wish, although there as of yet has not been any confirmation. Cena’s lack of opponent so far has suggested that The Undertaker will await him.
Can I still get tickets?
There are tickets still available for the April showpiece, on some websites, although they range from $50-a-ticket in the nosebleed seats to $2,000 at ringside. Return flights to New Orleans will set you back a further £800 flying from Heathrow. And then there are hotel costs too, so it wouldn’t be the cheapest trip.
