Show Preview

The WWE will hit the Melbourne Cricket Ground for one of its biggest ever shows, with The Undertaker and Triple H main eventing a bumper card. Join The Roar for live coverage of each and every fight from 7pm (AEST).

In front of a likely audience of over 100,000 people, the WWE will put on a huge show, with stars of the present and yesteryear competing.

Three Australians on the company’s roster will also be on the show, with Buddy Murphy competing for the cruiserweight belt and The IIconics – Peyton Royce and Billie Kay – competing in a women’ tag match against former champion Naomi and Asuka.

Yet, the highlight of the night will be the return of The Undertaker. One of the biggest stars in sports entertainment history, he has a Wrestlemania record detailing more than 20 wins and will take on Triple H for the final ever time in a throwback to one of the Attitude Era’s best rivalries.

The ‘Taker will be joined by ‘brother of destruction’ Kane at ringside, while Triple H, now the company’s COO, will be joined by best friend and former D-Generation X tag team partner Shawn Michaels.

One of the more dominant factions in recent history, The Shield are also back together with universal champion Roman Reigns and intercontinental champion Seth Rollins joined by Dean Ambrose as they battle the monster Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre in a match which also seems sure to involve Baron Corbin at some point.

The rivalry has been building in recent weeks with Corbin acting general manager.

Speaking of rivalries, and they don’t get much more intense than Daniel Bryan and The Miz, who will finally clash after years of on and off back-and-forth, while AJ Styles puts his WWE Championship on the line against Samoa Joe in a no disqualification match.

New recruit Ronda Rousey will also be in action alongside The Bella Twins as they take on The Riott Squad, while John Cena will team up with Bobby Lashley against one of the company’s top heels in Kevin Owens and Elias.

Two more Smackdown titles are also on the line, with Charlotte Flair to face Becky Lynch in the women’s match and The New Day to defend against Cesaro and Sheamus.

Just how many title changes (if any) there will be in unclear, but it’s sure to be a ripping night of action, so join us here on The Roar from 7pm (AEST) for live coverage of all the matches and be sure to add a comment below.
