Wrestling fans get ready 

Here’s what to expect at the showcase of the immortals.

Wrestlemania the sports entertainment extravaganza takes place this Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. The event promises to be a smackdown grabbing card as 14 matches are announced and the main event sees Brock Lesnar defend his WWE Universal champion against contender Roman Reigns. Many championships will be defended and 75’000 people will be on hand so see memories be made.

Most anticipated match however is the the mix tag team match with Ronda Rousey teaming up with Kurt Angle to face Stephanie Macmahon and her husband Triple H. Rousey has been training for this match for months and sports fans will look to tune in to see what the “Rowdy” one can bring to the table.

Wrestlemania will also have Ireland wrestlers competing on the show as Bray native Finn Balor will be chasing the Intercontinental champion and Becky Lynch will be participating in the womens battle royal. Though not announced yet John Cena could be scheduled to face The Undertaker, we haven’t heard anything from the Deadman but if he shows up  we could have an exciting encounter on our hands.

Wrestlemania will be available on Pay Per View and online on the WWE Network at 12am.
