WWE WrestleMania 35 Kickoff Show: Live results tracker
By Luke Norris
We’ll be tracking results all afternoon as they come in from the WWE WrestleMania 35 Kickoff Show.
It’s WrestleMania day and while the main card is full of huge matchups, there’s first the matter of the WWE WrestleMania 35 Kickoff Show.
On tap for the Kickoff Show is the usual discussion of the night’s matches and events but there are also matches for the WWE Universe to enjoy. The WWE Cruiserweight Championship is on the line as Buddy Murphy battles his good friend and training partner Tony Nese in what should be a fantastic matchup.
Also on the docket for the WrestleMania Kickoff Show is the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which is on the card for the sixth consecutive year and not only will feature a number of WWE Superstars but also Saturday Night Live stars Colin Jost and Michael Che. The second annual Women’s WrestleMania Battle Royal will also take place, with last year’s winner Naomi once again looks to outlast the competition.
Expect for the WWE to throw a few surprises and/or guest appearances in here as well. Be sure to bookmark this page and check back in often to catch all the results and highlights from MetLife Stadium.
