TAMPA, Fla. - For months, rumors have circulated whether WWE will give Tampa another chance at hosting WrestleMania after the pandemic forced its cancellation last year and it appears to be true.
The WWE said their main event will once again be a two-night show but this time with a live audience on April 10 and April 11 at Raymond James Stadium. In coordination with local partners and government officials, WWE will announce ticket availability and safety protocols for WrestleMania 37 in the coming weeks, according to a press release. Information on additional WrestleMania Week events is forthcoming.
The Universal Championship and WWE Championship will both be on the line in tables, ladders, and chairs matches tonight.
Tonight s TLC pay-per-view will feature Roman Reigns defending his Universal Championship against Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre defending his WWE Championship against AJ Styles in tables, ladders, and chairs matches. Styles has warned McIntyre that he won t be facing him alone, with Money in the Bank briefcase holder The Miz, John Morrison, and Styles associate Omos also set to get involved in the match.
The first-ever Firefly Inferno match will also take place as Randy Orton faces The Fiend Bray Wyatt. A game of hide-and-seek between Orton and Wyatt on last week s Raw ended with Orton putting Wyatt in a box and lighting it on fire. But The Fiend then emerged and put Orton in the Mandible Claw.
SmackDown makes a one-week shift to FS1 for tonight s TLC go-home show.
SmackDown is airing on FS1 tonight due to college football s Pac-12 Championship Game being on Fox. Tonight s show will feature a SmackDown Tag Team Championship match with The Street Profits defending their titles against Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode.
Ziggler & Roode earned a title shot after defeating the champions in a non-title match a few weeks ago. Last Friday, Ziggler defeated Montez Ford in a singles match after Roode attacked Angelo Dawkins at ringside.
Bianca Belair goes one-on-one with Bayley tonight. Belair and Bayley have been taunting each other since their team lost at Survivor Series.
