Submitted by Matt Boone on


The announcements regarding "The Most Stupendous Two-Night WrestleMania in WWE History" continue to surface as the road to this year's shows on "The Grandest Stage of Them All" winds down.

As noted on Thursday, FOX Sports broke the news via WWE that Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship will be taking place during night one of WrestleMania 38.

In a new update, WWE has announced that the Winner Take All "Champion versus Champion" showdown between WWE Champion Brock Lesnar and WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will be going down during night two of WrestleMania 38.

WWE.com released the following announcement regarding the Lesnar-Reigns bout on Friday afternoon:

WWE Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Universal Champion Roman Reigns (Winner Take All)

The table has been set. 2022 Royal Rumble winner and WWE Champion Brock Lesnar has chosen to battle Roman Reigns in a Title vs. Title Match. It's WINNER TAKE ALL in a highly anticipated rematch on WrestleMania Sunday.

Although Lesnar was originally scheduled to challenge The Head of the Table at WWE Day 1, Reigns tested positive for COVID-19 and was unable to defend the Universal Title at the first Premier Live Event of the year. After being fired by Reigns days earlier, however, Paul Heyman once again took on the role of Advocate for Lesnar and negotiated for his client to be added to the Day 1WWE Title Fatal 4-Way Match instead. Thanks to Heyman’s maneuvering, The Beast was free to conquer the field and claim the WWE Championship.

During Lesnar’s WWE Title defense against Bobby Lashley at Royal Rumble, Reigns suddenly emerged when the referee was down and used some surprise help from the treacherous Heyman to strike Brock with the title and allow Lashley to reclaim his WWE Championship.

The WWE Universe would not have to wait to see how Lesnar would react. On the same night, the furious Beast stormed his way to the ring as a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble Match and claimed victory in dominant fashion.

With the right to challenge the World Champion of his choosing, Lesnar emerged the following night on Raw and immediately chose to go to war with the Universal Champion. As a result, Reigns will finally have his showdown against The Conqueror on The Grandest Stage of Them All!

Then at WWE Elimination Chamber, titleholder Bobby Lashley was removed from the competition due to concussion protocol. This paved the way for The Beast to triumph in the Elimination Chamber Match to reclaim the WWE Championship. As a result, WrestleMania will be Title vs. Title!

Don’t miss a spectacular moment of action when WINNER TAKES ALL on the second night of WrestleMania, steaming LIVE on Sunday, April 3 beginning at 8 ET/5 PT on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
