Preview...

Despite a number of the WWE’s recent breakout stars headlining both Raw and Smackdown throughout the year, WrestleMania 33 will feel like déjà vu for many, with the main event set to see old rivals Goldberg and Lesnar face off, 13 years after their first Mania encounter.

The Undertaker will also look to stretch his incredible Mania record to 24-1 when he takes on Roman Reigns, while the WWE Championship will be up for grabs when former partners Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton – winner of the Royal Rumble – go head-to-head.

Shane McMahon will return to the squared-circle to take on former champion AJ Styles in a bitter and hate-fuelled feud that stemmed from the latter losing the WWE Championship at the Rumble and subsequently throwing the former through a car window.

Also on the match card, Seth Rollins returns from a knee injury inflicted by Triple H, who turned on his protégé in a long-winded feud that should culminate at WrestleMania.

Here’s everything you need to know about WrestleMania 33.

Where can I watch it?

WrestleMania 33 will be shown live on the WWE Network, which costs £9.99-a-month. You can also watch it on Sky Sports Box Office for a one-off fee of £19.95.

WrestleMania 33 will also be covered by The Independent’s live blog on this page.

Can I still buy tickets?

Legally, no. The event is already a sell-out, meaning around 75,000 WWE fans will cram into the Camping World Stadium nine years after it last held WrestleMania.

The Undertaker vs Roman Reigns

Reigns looks baffled, and as soon as Taker is up on his feet, he is knocked down by a Superman punch. Reigns decides not to pin him, and when he tries to get up, he falls back down immediately. Reigns moves in for the kill, and hits another spear.

ROMAN REIGNS BEAT THE UNDERTAKER!

The Undertaker vs Roman Reigns

Reigns takes the accolades on the entrance ramp as the fireworks go off above him, and The Undertaker lies motionless in the middle of the ring. Is this the end of The Undertaker?

The Undertaker vs Roman Reigns

The Undertaker sits up to a standing ovation from the fans, and after putting on his coat and hat once again, his music hits. Ladies and gentlemen, if you weren't sure, this is it, this is the end of The Undertaker.

The Undertaker vs Roman Reigns

He removes his gloves from his hands and lays them down in the ring, all the while 'Thank You Taker' rings out from the fans, and he continues by removing his coat and hat for the final time, clearly emotional as he lays it the hat down, before leaving the ring. Before he departs, he walks over to his wife, the former wrestler Michelle McCool, and makes his way up the ramp alone.
