UPDATED: PWInsider confirms big matches for WrestleMania 32 (UPDATED)
Quote:
For those who thought Kalisto's win over Alberto Del Rio was a fluke, inside sources have elsewise to say. There is internal talk of Kalisto eliminating Brock Lesnar at the Rumble, not unlike Maven and Undertaker a couple of years ago. The feeling in WWE is that this could build Kalisto into the Hispanic star WWE is looking for. The push will likely continue with Kalisto playing the ultimate underdog in a match with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 32.
Other internal talk is that The Rock will not be wrestling at the event, due to issues with insurance and the films he is working on preventing any in-ring action. The Rock is expected to do a comedy style segment during the show at some point. There is talk HHH is suffering from an undisclosed injury from training involving his pectoral so he will not be wrestling on the card but will also be seen in an on-camera role at the event.
As for the other big name matches on the card, WWE is going to heavily market this as Undertaker's last match. With Cena, who was scheduled to face Undertaker, out of action most likely Kane will step into the role of Undertaker's opponent for his final match. Talk is currently the match will be a casket match and that both Kane and Undertaker will be finished with WWE once it is over. Roman Reigns is scheduled to remain WWE Champion through WrestleMania and the internal goal right now is to create a viable and new threat to his title. WWE is looking to have the final two men in the Royal Rumble be Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman, with Roman getting the win here but continuing to push Strowman up until a match for the WWE Title with Reigns at WrestleMania 32.
Stephen Amell will be back to wrestle another match against Star Dust in the annual celebrity involvement match - Look for this to possibly be a lumberjack match to help get as many wrestlers on the card as possible.
