WWE WrestleMania 36: Day 1 live stream, start time, match card and more

Here is all the info you need for Day 1 of the unprecedented empty-arena production of WWE WrestleMania 36.

For the first time in WWE history, this year’s WrestleMania 36 will be held inside the WWE Performance Center. Thanks to the ongoing corona virus, there will be no fans inside the arena, so it will have a dramatic change in appearance compared to any other pay per view event. The event is set to stretch out over two nights, another first for the company, so let’s take a look at what is on the menu for the first night.

As of Saturday morning, WWE hasn’t announced how the matches will be split up over the two days. They could likely keep that under wraps until the actual event. So with that being said, here’s the card that we have advertised.

• WWE Championship – Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
• Universal Championship – Goldberg (c) vs. Braun Strowman
• Boneyard Match – The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles
• Last Man Standing Match – Edge vs. Randy Orton
• Raw Women’s Championship – Becky Lynch (c) vs. Shayna Baszler
• NXT Women’s Championship – Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Charlotte Flair
• SmackDown Women’s Championship, Fatal Five-Way Match – Bayley (c) vs. Sasha Banks vs. Lacey Evans vs. Tamina vs. Naomi
• Intercontinental Championship – Sami Zayn (c) vs. Daniel Bryan
• SmackDown Tag Team Championship, Triple Threat Ladder Match – The Miz & John Morrison (c) vs. The Usos vs. The New Day
• Raw Tag Team Championship – The Street Profits (c) vs. Austin Theory & Angel Garza
• WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship – The Kabuki Warriors (c) vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross
• Aleister Black vs. Bobby Lashley
• Elias vs. King Corbin
• Otis vs. Dolph Ziggler
• Kevin Owens v.s Dolph Ziggler
• John Cena vs. “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt

There will be a one-hour kickoff show on each night, which will lead into each night’s event. One could assume that that the two big championship matches, the WWE Title and the Universal Title, would be split between the night fights. With as big as the WWE Title match was originally set to be, that would likely headline Sunday night’s festivities. But we’ll find out as we go along this weekend.

It will certainly be a different atmosphere this weekend, as you would normally expect thousands of screaming and cheering fans filling the arena. But with the coronavirus precautions forcing WWE out of Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, the two nights will feature an empty arena with a unique presentation. How will WWE pull off the biggest event of the year? We’ll have to check into the WWE Network to find out!
