What’s the story?
The updated lineup for WrestleMania 34 seems to have included several potential matchups that have been discussed over the past few weeks.
Additionally, the possibility of a few other matches transpiring on the card has also been noted.
In case you didn’t know…
The WWE’s biggest annual PPV show, WrestleMania, takes place next month, and the WWE Universe awaits the finalized lineup for this year’s edition of the Show of Shows.
While the WWE has traditionally booked a few matches to the WrestleMania card as late additions, most matches are confirmed and revealed to the fans several weeks in advance.
The heart of the matter
The WWE has confirmed the Universal Championship Match that’s set to take place at WrestleMania 34, as Roman Reigns challenges reigning Universal Champion Brock Lesnar for the title on the grandest stage of them all.
Besides, another match that has been confirmed is the Triple Threat Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship as The Miz defends his belt against Finn Balor and Seth Rollins.
However, experts believe that the WWE could add two other Superstars to the match, making it a Fatal 5-Way. Below is the complete list of the rumored WrestleMania 34 card—
1. WWE Universal Championship Match: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns (Confirmed)
2. Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle vs. Stephanie McMahon & Triple H (Confirmed)

What’s next?
The WWE’s WrestleMania 34 PPV takes place at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on April 8th.
The WWE’s final pay-per-view event before WrestleMania 34, is the SmackDown brand-exclusive event Fastlane that takes place at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio on March 11th.
Author’s take
Honestly speaking, the match that’s likely to have caught most fans’ attention, is the rumoured showdown between The Undertaker and John Cena.
Cena recently teased missing WrestleMania this year, however, given his star-power and the significance of his character in the WWE Universe, it’s likely that Cena could participate in some form or the other at the event.
