WWE has officially confirmed two new matches for Wrestlemania 36. The event will be held on April 4th and 5th at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando.
The first match announced by WWE is Aleister Black vs Bobby Lashley. Here is what WWE wrote on their website about the match:
Aleister Black vs. Bobby Lashley
Two Superstars looking for a fight. A rivalry nobody saw coming. And one stage big enough to host it. In one of the most intriguing matchups of WrestleMania season, Aleister Black will go one-on-one with Bobby Lashley at this year’s history-making edition of The Showcase of the Immortals.While the two have had little to no interaction of late, they make perfect sense as opponents. Black has made it clear in recent weeks that he’s no longer willing to wait for fights to come to him, opting to seek out matches with anyone on Raw who’s unwise enough to take them. Likewise, Lashley has reintroduced himself in a major way, transforming from wife-stealing Casanova to human wrecking machine in a matter of weeks as a way to bulldoze his way back into title contention.
In other words, this match is a classic case of two people looking to make a statement, with each suddenly the other’s biggest roadblock to the next level. And now, like the classic math problem, these two trains are on a collision course, with WrestleMania as the shared destination. Sometimes, it’s just that simple.
Tune in to a WrestleMania that is too big for just one night, streaming on Saturday, April 4, and Sunday, April 5, with special start times of 7 ET/4 PT on the award-winning WWE Network.
WWE has also announced a RAW Tag Team Title match for the event. It will be Andrade and Angel Garza vs The Street Profits. Here is what WWE wrote:
Raw Tag Team Champions The Street Profits vs. Andrade & Angel Garza
The Street Profits have taken their game to another level since becoming Raw Tag Team Champions, but at WrestleMania, they’ll have to fend off challengers that know a thing or two about winning gold when they defend against Andrade & Angel Garza.Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins passed their first test as champions, again overcoming Seth Rollins & Murphy in a rematch at WWE Elimination Chamber after dethroning them six days earlier on Raw.
Now they’ll deal with United States Champion Andrade & Garza — the latter of whom is also no stranger to titles as a former NXT Cruiserweight Champion. The presence of Zelina Vega also figures to be a factor, as La Muñeca is always a threat to tip the scales in Andrade & Garza’s favor.
Who will emerge as Raw Tag Team Champions? Don’t miss WrestleMania 36 – Too Big for Just One Night! Catch the historic two-night presentation, streaming on WWE Network with former New England Patriot Rob Gronkowski hosting at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Saturday, April 4, and Sunday, April 5.
