There was a lot of speculation over whether the WWE Championship or SmackDown Women’s Championship would close the show, but we now know for sure.
It will be the first time fans have been allowed to attend a WWE show for over a year, so you can expect a huge roar when Drew McIntyre’s music hits.
It has been theorised that WWE took the belt off Drew so he could win it back in front of fans, and there are few better places to win the WWE Championship than as a babyface in the opening match of WrestleMania.
