Originally published at Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair set for the first night of WrestleMania
The Raw women’s championship match between Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair is scheduled for the first night of WrestleMania 38.
It was announced by WWE through the Dallas Morning News that the championship match is scheduled for Saturday, April 2nd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
It will take place on the same night where Charlotte Flair will defend the SmackDown women’s championship against Ronda Rousey.
The second night of WrestleMania will feature Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar with both championships on the line.
Belair received the title match with Lynch after winning last weekend’s Elimination Chamber match in Saudi Arabia.
Lynch returned last August at SummerSlam in an unadvertised match with Belair and won the title in 26 seconds. The company had promoted a WrestleMania rematch between Belair and Sasha Banks right up until match time when it was known by the company Banks could not wrestle on the show.
