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.

PIN! 1...2...3!
AJ Styles beats Shane McMahon!

Out comes Kevin Owens, the former WWE World Champion, who takes on his ex-best friend and United States champion Chris Jericho. As Owens waits in the ring, Jericho goes back to his old Y2J entrance, with a giant List of Jericho up on the stage.

Jericho makes a flying start to the match, locking Owens in an early Walls of Jericho before chucking him out of the ring and diving off the top rope onto him. He then plants Owens again in the ring to leave Owens cowering in the corner.

Owens stops the momentum with a superkick out of the corner and follows up with a cannonball inside the ring, before delivering a second cannonball outside the ring on the canvas.
