WrestleMania 34 Pre-Show Matches Confirmed
Which bouts will open the show in New Orleans?
WWE have officially announced which matches are set to be on the WrestleMania 34 pre-show. Three bouts are set to open the event.
Both the men's and women's battle royal matches will be on the pre-show, for which a number of entrants have been announced.
The men's bout will feature Matt Hardy, Goldust, Heath Slater, Rhyno, both members of The Revival, Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin, Mojo Rawley, Tye Dillinger, Fandango, and Tyler Breeze.
The women's battle royal has the following confirmed entrants: Sasha Banks, Bayley, Becky Lynch, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Mickie James, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan, Naomi, Natalya, and Lana.
The latter match was originally billed as the Fabulous Moolah Memorial Battle Royal, but WWE came under fire for the decision due to her controversial past, and removed any association with the former star.
The final of the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament between Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali will also feature on the pre-show. Last year's WrestleMania pre-show also featured a Cruiserweight Championship bout between Neville and Austin Aries.
Despite being heavily rumoured online and teased on television, no match between John Cena and The Undertaker has officially been announced. Cena has appeared on Raw over the past few weeks and called out the Deadman, only to be met with no reply.
Despite this, the match is still thought to be going ahead.
The show's biggest announced bouts include Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns, Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka, AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, and Triple H/Stephanie McMahon vs. Ronda Rousey/Kurt Angle.
