With WrestleMania 36 now taking place over the span of two nights (April 4 and April 5), WWE has to make the decision on which match should be the main event of each night. WWE seemingly had the two cards divided up evenly with one world championship match per night, but WWE.com official match card doesn't determine which show will take place on which night as of Tuesday. According to insider @WrestleVotes, one idea WWE has in mind is to have one of the women's championship matches be the main event of night one, which narrows the field down to Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch vs. Shayna Baszler or NXT Women's Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair.

They also mentioned that the show will likely end up with 16 total matches (matching last year's total) with eight per night.

As for the other shows that were supposed to take place during WrestleMania weekend, the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony has reported been bumped to SummerSlam weekend, while NXT TakeOver: Tampa Bay has been scrapped altogether. The matches that were planned for that show will air on episodes of NXT starting on April 1, according to an announcement from WWE on Tuesday.

Here's the card as of now:

  • WWE Championship: Brock Lesnar vs. Drew McIntyre
  • WWE Universal Championship: Goldberg vs. Roman Reigns
  • Edge vs. Randy Orton [Last Man Standing]
  • John Cena vs. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt
  • NXT Women's Championship: Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair
  • Raw Women's Championship: Becky Lynch vs. Shayna Baszler
  • Raw Tag Team Championships: The Street Profits vs. Andrade & Angel Garza
  • SmackDown Women's Championship: Bayley vs. Lacey Evans vs. Tamina vs. Naomi vs. Sasha Banks
  • SmackDown Tag Team Championships: The Miz & John Morrison vs. The New Day or The Usos
  • The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles (Boneyard Match)
  • Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins
  • Aleister Black vs. Bobby Lashley
  • Elias vs. King Corbin
