The top two matches for WrestleMania 38 appear to be set following Saturday’s Royal Rumble PPV in St. Louis.
Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey were the winners of the men’s and women’s Rumbles, respectively, guaranteeing both of them a championship match at WWE’s biggest show of the year, which takes place over two nights, starting April 2, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Lesnar is scheduled to face Roman Reigns for the universal championship, and Rousey is scheduled to face Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown women’s title.
Rousey returned to WWE after a multiple-year hiatus during which she and husband Travis Browne welcomed a baby girl. She had left with the intention to start a family, and while most expected her to return eventually, it was a surprise to hear a few weeks before that she was training for a return only four months after giving birth. She entered the women’s Rumble match at No. 28 and worked for about 10 minutes, eliminating four women, including Flair, to win the match.
