WWE WrestleMania 36: 5 Matches That Should Be Added
By Mark Justice
WWE WrestleMania 36 will take place on Apr. 5 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT live at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida and on the WWE Network with the kickoff show beginning at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.
With only four matches declared official for this WWE event, the following will address five more matches that should be added to the card one month away from the biggest WWE PPV of the year.
WWE WrestleMania 36 is rumored to have approximately sixteen matches this year. Per WWE’s official website, only four of those matches have already been officially announced:
"WWE Championship Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Drew McIntyre Universal Championship Goldberg (c) vs. Roman Reigns NXT Women’s Championship Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Charlotte Flair Grudge Match John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt"
There are also matches that are blatantly evident, such as Randy Orton vs. Edge and AJ Styles vs. Undertaker, that will very likely be added to the WrestleMania card. However, since they are not yet official, it would be remiss to neglect them.
In terms of Randy Orton vs. Edge, it would be criminal to leave this match off the card. As can be indicated by Orton’s ‘protection’ of Edge, Matt Hardy, and Beth Phoenix over the past month, it is quite frankly the best built storyline on the road to WWE WrestleMania 36 and Edge’s new contract agreement of five WWE appearances each year for three years should undoubtedly include WrestleMania.
This is not only an unparalleled return rivalry for the Ultimate Grand Slam Champion, 2012 Hall of Famer, and Rated R Superstar, Edge, but more importantly a star-fulfilling rivalry for a future ballot Hall of Gamer (especially on Twitch), Randy Orton.
In terms of AJ Styles vs. Undertaker, not only is The Phenom vs. The Phenomenal One a solid headline but it is also a dream match that many WWE fans did not know they wanted. Although The Undertaker is older and slower in the ring, AJ Styles will make him look like a million bucks before he eventually tips his hat and hangs up his boots.
Undoubtedly, Styles is one of the best workers in the business and he could definitely steal the show with The Deadman while hopefully getting his revenge from their Tuwaiq Trophy bout.
With that being addressed, there are matches that are not so obvious. The following will identify and explain five more matches that should be added to the WrestleMania 36 card.
