WWE has announced a new match for WrestleMania 40 and has also revealed which matches will be taking place on which night.
Taking place across 2 nights inside Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on April 6th and 7th, 13 matches have been confirmed for the biggest show on the WWE calendar with 7 matches taking place on night 1 and six matches taking place on night 2. The final match made official will see Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits face off against Karrion Kross and the Authors of Pain in a Philadelphia Street Fight.
Rules for one of the matches were also clarified on the April 1st episode of Raw. Ever since The Usos unified the Tag Team Championships in 2022, the titles have been defended together much like the WWE and Universal Championship have been in previous Roman Reigns defences. When discussing the ladder match on Raw, Michael Cole stated that the match will continue until both sets of championships are taken down, meaning that there is a possibility for two teams to walk out as champions.
