There’s no offseason in professional wrestling, but in many ways WrestleMania annually feels like the ending of one chapter and the beginning of another.
Some years that’s more obvious than others. Take WrestleMania 30, for example, when Daniel Bryan completed his months-long chase for the WWE Undisputed Championship by beating behemoths Randy Orton and Batista in a triple-threat match. Confetti flew from the ceiling. The Authority had been defeated. A new era of professional wrestling was upon us.
Sunday, professional wrestling’s Super Bowl returns to the site of Bryan’s greatest achievement — the Superdome in New Orleans — for WrestleMania 34.
And indeed, that new era is in full swing. Though Bryan hasn’t donned his trademark maroon wrestling trunks in more than two years because of health concerns from repeated concussions, more athletic and less muscle-bound grapplers in the same vein as Bryan are featured prominently on WWE programming.
Two of them — AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura — will do battle for the WWE championship. Two more, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, will team up to challenge Shane McMahon, and — you guessed it — Bryan, who will make his long-awaited return to the ring after finally getting cleared by WWE’s medial staff last month.
But that’s just scratching the card’s surface. Brock Lesnar will defend his WWE Undisputed Championship against the polarizing Roman Reigns, and former UFC superstar Ronda Rousey will make her WWE debut teaming with Kurt Angle to take on Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.
And of course, we’ll get the answer to John Cena’s challenge to The Undertaker.
Follow along here for updates, analysis and any other interesting tidbits that surface during the big show.
