As always happens during this time of year, the world of wrestling is getting just that bit more excited as April approaches. With the advent of WWE WrestleMania 36 in 2020, there's certainly a lot to be excited about.
This year's WrestleMania is the most unique event that WWE has had in its long history. Taking place in the middle of a global pandemic, WWE's WrestleMania 36 is one of the only major events that has not been canceled. While WWE's position on holding the event has certainly divided fans, it is safe to say that they have taken the utmost precautions in hosting the event anyway.
WrestleMania will be taking place from the WWE Performance Center this year, without a live crowd. With that in mind, it will also be taking place over two nights. At this point, 16 matches have been announced for the show, but the division of the 16 matches over two nights is yet to take place.

WWE WrestleMania 36 Predictions and Match Card
WrestleMania 36 is only a day away at the moment. The following are the matches announced for WrestleMania.
WWE Championship Match: Brock Lesnar (c) vs Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre shocked the world by not only winning the WWE Royal Rumble, but also being the one to eliminate Brock Lesnar. While he announced that he would be challenging Lesnar for the title, the Road to WrestleMania was difficult for The Beast Incarnate.
Lesnar defeated Ricochet, but in the latter weeks, found himself utterly decimated by the Scottish Psychopath. While it is never safe to say with Lesnar, Drew McIntyre will likely be the one to overcome him at WrestleMania and hold the WWE Championship high over his head.
Prediction: Drew McIntyre
WWE NXT Women's Championship Match: Rhea Ripley (c) vs Charlotte Flair
In what is expected to be one of the most historic matches this year, Charlotte Flair will be facing Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 36 this year.
Rhea Ripley proved that she was one of the strongest women in NXT as she was able to defeat Bianca Belair emphatically in their match. Unfortunately, she did not get the chance to celebrate her win, as she was blindsided by the Queen. Instead, it was a moment of extreme pain for her, as Charlotte hit her with the Natural Selection.
Charlotte then accepted the challenge left by Rhea, and the two will be facing each other at WrestleMania, where Ripley will have a lot to prove.
Prediction: Rhea Ripley
WWE RAW Women's Championship Match: Becky Lynch (c) vs Shayna Baszler
This was the year everyone thought Shayna Baszler was going to break into the main roster with the help of a win in the WWE Royal Rumble. That has not happened, but it did not mean that the year passed Shayna Baszler by altogether. Instead, she appeared on RAW and bit Lynch's neck, drawing blood.
Since then, the two of them have been feuding against one another in what is sure to lead into one of the best matches at WrestleMania in some time.
Prediction: Shayna Baszler
Edge vs Randy Orton - Last Man Standing Match
The biggest shock of this year's WWE Royal Rumble was the return of the Rated-R Superstar, Edge.
With Randy Orton turning and attacking Edge the very next night, it was more or less certain that the two former tag team partners will be facing each other in one of the biggest matches on this year's WrestleMania. This was further confirmed as Orton attacked Beth Phoenix, only to have Edge return and attack him.
The rivalry between the two has reached a crescendo and they will be settling their dispute at WrestleMania.
Prediction: Edge
WWE Universal Championship Match: Goldberg (c) vs Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman stepped in, instead of Roman Reigns as the person to face Goldberg for the WWE Universal title. Given the absolute lack of hype surrounding the entire situation, it might be safe to say that WWE could have built it up a little more by inserting at least a segment where Strowman was introduced as the challenger instead of Roman Reigns. However, that did not happen, and it was just announced with a graphic.
There is confusion as to who might win this match as it was always Roman who was supposed to win at 'Mania, and Goldberg was not supposed to appear after that. Now, things are up in the air, and it remains to be seen if they hand Strowman the title with no fanfare.
Prediction: Braun Strowman
John Cena vs 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt - Firefly Fun House Match
Bray Wyatt's Fiend has wreaked havoc all over WWE; well, at least until he was defeated by Goldberg. Now, The Fiend seems to have found himself a new challenge in the form of John Cena.
Cena accepted Wyatt's challenge, and the two are set to face each other in a Firefly Fun House Match — which seems to be a variation of the House of Horrors match that Wyatt participated in with Randy Orton.
Prediction: 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt
WWE SmackDown Women's Championship Match: Bayley (c) vs Lacey Evans vs Naomi vs Tamina vs Sasha Banks - Fatal Fiveway Elimination Match
Bayley is set to defend her title against four other women in this match. Unfortunately for her, those four include her 'best friend' Sasha Banks as well. In an elimination match of this magnitude, hardly anything is certain.
With so many women participating anyone could come out with the win.
Prediction: Sasha Banks
The Undertaker vs AJ Styles - Boneyard Match
The Undertaker is back in WWE, but this time he is very different from any previous version of himself. This time, it appears that The Phenom has incorporated his real-life Mark Callaway version into this gimmick.
He is set to face AJ Styles in a never-seen-before Boneyard match. Fans are still guessing as to what that could be at the moment, but it is safe to say that this will be a better version of The Undertaker.
Prediction: The Undertaker
Kevin Owens vs Seth Rollins
Kevin Owens is set to take on Seth Rollins, in a match that might bring a conclusion to a long rivalry. The two have been feuding for what feels like forever, and now, with AOP and Murphy reportedly sidelined, The Monday Night Messiah will have to battle it out with Kevin Owens in a fair singles match.
Prediction: Kevin Owens
Aleister Black vs Bobby Lashley
Both these Superstars have been dominating on recent episodes of WWE RAW and have taken out any opposition that they encountered. While the company has not really built the match in the best possible manner, the two will now face each other at WrestleMania.
A win here gives either Superstar bragging rights, and possibly even a future shot at a title.
Prediction: Bobby Lashley
WWE RAW Tag Team Championships Match: The Street Profits (c) vs Austin Theory and Angel Garza
With Andrade out of the picture due to an injury, it appears that Austin Theory is filling in thanks to Zelina Vega. Now, as a new tag team the duo were able to impress last week, but whether that will be enough or not to win the actual Tag Team Championships remain to be seen.
The lack of experience may play a huge role in the match.
Prediction: The Street Profits
Elias vs King Corbin
Amother match which is subject to changes, Elias was apparently injured when he was sent crashing from the podium by King Corbin. The attack by Corbin apparently injured Elias, and the two are set to face each other at WrestleMania.
With Elias possibly coming into this match with an injury, Corbin might actually have the advantage.
Prediction: King Corbin
WWE Intercontinental Championship Match: Sami Zayn (c) vs Daniel Bryan
In a match that Drew Gulak helped Daniel Bryan to get, Zayn will be forced to defend his Intercontinental title against Daniel Bryan in what is sure to be an impressive match. While Zayn will have Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura by his side, Daniel Bryan will also have Gulak.
This match is going to be a technical masterpiece, but it is up to Bryan to get that all-important win.
Prediction: Daniel Bryan
WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Match: Kabuki Warriors (c) vs Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross
The WWE Women's Tag Team Champions are being forced to defend the title against rivals who have previously been successful in winning them. While this match has a lot of elements in it, Asuka and Kairi Sane will have their job cut out for them in what is sure to be an incredible match.
Prediction: Kabuki Warriors
Otis vs Dolph Ziggler
Another match, where there is a deep grudge between the competitors, Otis will be facing Dolph Ziggler, as he blames the latter for having stolen the affections of Mandy Rose.
This will be one of the first proper singles matches for this half of Heavy Machinery, and it should be interesting to see how he does.
Prediction: Dolph Ziggler
SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match: The Miz and Morrison (c) vs The New Day vs The Usos - Triple Threat Ladder Match
There are still rumors about how this match will take place with the Miz apparently ill. The coming SmackDown should confirm if it will go ahead as had been reported previously.
Predictions: The Miz and Morrison
