3 interesting things WWE could be planning for the opening night of WrestleMania 38
WWE's biggest pay-per-view of the year, WrestleMania 38 is just three weeks away. Just like the previous two years, it will be a two-night event. Scheduled for April 2 and 3, the show will emanate live from the AT&T Stadium in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex city of Arlington, Texas.
The opening night will feature Stone Cold Steve Austin on The Kevin Owens Show. Apart from that, Night One will see Charlotte Flair take on Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women's Championship, Becky Lynch against Bianca Belair for the RAW Women's Championship, and The Usos vs. Shinsuke Nakamura & Rick Boogs for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.
Furthermore, Rey Mysterio & Dominik vs. The Miz & Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre vs. Happy Corbin is also scheduled for April 2.
There is no denying that the card for night one of WrestleMania looks stacked and spectacular.
Without further ado, here are three interesting things WWE could be planning for night one of WrestleMania 38.
#3. Dominik's heel turn at WrestleMania 38

The opening night of WrestleMania 38 will feature Rey Mysterio & Dominik taking on The Miz & Logan Paul in a tag team match. However, the show may not end too well for the father-son duo.
Rey and Dominik have had a terrific stint as tag-team partners. However, the duo have become a bit underwhelming in the recent past. Given that there isn't much scope left for them as partners, a potential swerve at The Showcase of Immortals looks likely.
WWE could have Dominik turn on the veteran to lay waste to him. This would then set up a high-profile feud between the duo, culminating possibly at Summer Slam.
#2. New champions crowned
Charlotte Flair will defend her SmackDown Women's Championship against Ronda Rousey on the opening night of WrestleMania 38. However, chances of the Queen retaining her Championship look slim.
Given how WWE has booked Rousey as a dominant force, expect the former UFC Champion to emerge victorious on April 2.
Becky Lynch is scheduled to defend her RAW Women's Championship against Bianca Belair on the same night. While the former may have had an upper hand on the latter in their previous encounters, things might change this time around.
Given that another loss at the hands of The Man would seriously dent her career, expect Bianca to finally prevail over Becky Lynch at the Show of Shows.

Kevin Owens appeared on the latest episode of RAW to invite Stone Cold Steve Austin for The KO Show at WrestleMania. Hours later, The Texas Rattlesnake accepted his invitation, vowing to decimate him at the Show of Shows.
WWE has now announced that Stone Cold Steve Austin will be a guest on The Kevin Owens Show during the opening night of WrestleMania 38.
While a high-profile match between the duo was highly speculated, it couldn't come to fruition. Nonetheless, fans can expect Stone Cold to lay waste to KO. Creative could have The Texas Rattlesnake stand tall over Owens before celebrating with the fans.
Though it looks like Stone Cold is going to have limited in-ring action on April 2, fans are excited to see the Hall of Famer. Come what may, Stone Cold's appearance at WrestleMania 38 is certainly going to be best for business.
