WWE News: Battle Royals, NXT Vs. NXT Alumni, And Multi-Brand Matches Announced For ‘WrestleMania Axxess’
In just a little over a week, the WrestleMania 35 weekend will begin and there will be multiple days of fun wrestling events. With the big show itself, there will also be the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, NXT TakeOver, and much more, but WWE doesn’t think that is enough. It has now been announced that WrestleMania AXXESS will include “Worlds Collide” events which will feature matches between superstars of all brands.
As much fun as the other big events will be and leading into Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live, the rest of the weekend will present so much more. AXXESS is going to be the time for fans to meet superstars, get autographs, buy unique merchandise, and see matches they may never see again.
The official site of WWE reported that once again, worlds will collide, but there won’t be a tournament this time around. Multiple matches will take place over the five-day sessions of AXXESS with different themes for each one of them.
NXT vs. NXT Alumni
Thursday, April 4 (6-10 p.m.)
Matches include:
- Roderick Strong vs. Tyler Breeze
- Dominik Dijkaovic vs. Harper
- SAnitY vs. Undisputed Era
- Kassius Ohno vs. Aiden English
Many rumors had been flying around that Luke Harper may soon leave WWE and head for All Elite Wrestling or perhaps he retired, but he squashed that after this announcement.
To all those asking if I retired….
My return to @WWE has been confirmed.
Just tell @MmmGorgeous to stay the hell away from me. https://t.co/wSc9qZ0Iy2
