From The Rumor Mill: WrestleMania card now close to being finalized with 14 matches 

What's the story?

WrestleMania is now just over two weeks away and it seems that the card has already taken shape. There are now 11 matches officially confirmed for the event, whilst there are still three matches being teased but yet to be made official.

In case you didn't know...

If WrestleMania has 14 matches or more then it will be the most matches at the event since WrestleMania VII when the company staged 15 matches back in 1991. It has already been rumored that this year's WrestleMania will be around six and a half hours long with the usual two-hour kick off show.

It is currently unknown which matches will be relegated to the kickoff show, but WrestleMania 33 saw three matches take place before the official show started in Orlando, Florida so WWE could decide to put three on the kickoff show again this year.

The heart of the matter

This year's WrestleMania will see Ronda Rousey make her official WWE in-ring debut when she teams with Kurt Angle against Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. It seems that this match is one of the most anticipated of the night, with Roman Reigns taking on Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship expected to be the main event of the night, whilst Royal Rumble winner Shinsuke Nakamura takes on WWE Champion AJ Styles.

Charlotte and Asuka will battle for the SmackDown Women's Championship whilst Alexa Bliss defends the Raw Women's Championships against Nia Jax, whilst the Women's WrestleMania Battle Royal will make its debut and The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale will return.

Randy Orton will defend the United States Championship in a Triple Threat Match against Jinder Mahal and Bobby Roode and The Miz will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Finn Balor and Seth Rollins.

The finals of the Cruiserweight Championship tournament will take place between Mustafa Ali and Cedric Alexander and Braun Strowman will be forced to find a partner so that he can fight Sheamus and Cesaro for the Raw Tag Team Championships.

The matches that are still being teased but are yet to be confirmed include John Cena vs The Undertaker, Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan vs Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn as well as The SmackDown Tag Team Championship match which is believed to be between The Bludgeon Brothers, The Usos and The New Day.

What's next?

WrestleMania 34 is now less than three weeks away and takes place on Sunday, April 8th live from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Author's take

This year's WrestleMania is set to be one of the biggest the company has ever presented. 14 matches will definitely ensure that it is one of the biggest when it comes to size, but the return of Daniel Bryan and the debut of Ronda Rousey will also see that the company gets the views that they require for their biggest show of the year.
