In regards to the remaining five rumored matches for WrestleMania’s card, Meltzer reported that one is currently expected to involve Seth Rollings either as a singles match against Kevin Owens or as a RAW Tag Team Championship match with Rollins & Murphy defending their titles against Owens & a partner or against multiple teams.
Bayley is also currently expected to be defending her SmackDown Women’s Championship at the event although it is currently not known who her opponent will be. Meltzer reported that WWE likely will be holding a third Elimination Chamber match featuring SmackDown’s Women’s division at their upcoming Elimination Chamber event to determine Bayley’s official challenger.
