As for Night 2, the report has it planned around the two big world title matches, and Meltzer points out that with main events scheduled for both nights, Reigns is set to bring his career total to nine WrestleMania main events, which will become one more than Hulk Hogan’s record of eight.

• Drew McIntyre vs. Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship

• The Pride (Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits) vs. The Final Testament (The Authors of Pain and Karrion Kross) in a Philadelphia Street Fight

• LA Knight vs. AJ Styles

• Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens vs. Logan Paul for the WWE United States Championship

• Bayley vs. IYO SKY for the WWE Women’s Championship

• Rhodes vs. Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship

The main event, capping off WrestleMania weekend, should come with “a lot of booking twists and turns,” according to Meltzer, with either Reigns or Rhodes vs. Rock set up in the aftermath. “So much depends on Rock’s schedule,” however, he wrote, opining that Rhodes vs. Rock is the bigger match and Rock always has an eye on maximizing business. Still, Meltzer said, “Rock vs. Reigns is also a gigantic match and the one that was talked about even before the pandemic.” Again, in wrestling, just about everything is subject to change, but per Meltzer, this is the order to expect for what is primed to be a weekend fans will remember for years to come.
