Kevin Owens finally answered Seth Rollins' challenge this week, announcing that the two would meet in a one-on-one match at WrestleMania 36 on April 5. The two have been at odds ever since November, when Owens called out Rollins for his bad attitude as the leader of Raw and blamed him for AOP attacking him for several weeks. In December Rollins revealed his true colors, that he had aligned himself with AOP and was now a heel once again. As the "Monday Night Messiah," Rollins and Owens would come to blows week after week, with Samoa Joe, The Viking Raiders, The Street Profits, Akam, Rezar, Murphy and Aleister Black all getting involved in some form or fashion.

Check out Owens' promo below:

Here's the updated WrestleMania 36 card:

  • WWE Championship: Brock Lesnar vs. Drew McIntyre
  • WWE Universal Championship: Goldberg vs. Roman Reigns
  • John Cena vs. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt
  • Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch vs. Shayna Baszler
  • NXT Women's Championship Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair

WWE released a statement on Monday afternoon confirming WrestleMania 36 would be moved from Tampa to the Performance Center due to the coronavirus pandemic.
