Uneven ‘Royal Rumble’ Paves the Road to ‘WrestleMania’

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.
