WWE WrestleMania Match Card Update: McIntyre Vs Lesnar Vs Keith Lee And More Stated As An Interesting Twist

The source stressed to WrestleVotes that nothing is close to official or concrete, but as a working idea the following is what’s being considered:## Reigns vs Goldberg, Edge vs Orton & an interesting twist: McIntyre vs Lesnar vs Keith Lee. Lots of variables in play, especially the attendance factor.## As noted, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg returns to discuss the recent due plans with Roman Reigns on WWE’s The Bump, Dec. 9, 2020. Goldberg executed it perfectly, "I may be old. I may be gray, but I'm still Goldberg."## Goldberg Vs. Roman Reigns almost tapped for WrestleMania 36, but after Reigns opted to pull out amid concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, Goldberg’s opponent was changed to Braun Strowman. At WrestleMania, Goldberg lost the Universal Championship to Strowman.## While Edge Vs. Orton is a long-talked match for WrestleMania 37, McIntyre Vs. Lesnar Vs. Keith Lee is an interesting twist, Lesnar lost the championship to McIntyre in the main event of WrestleMania 36 Part 2 (which was taped on March 25–26 and aired on April 5).## This would be his final appearance as on August 31, it was reported by several sources that Lesnar was no longer under contract with WWE.## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Updates...
