WWE has turned on the fast and furious in regards to promoting tonight’s live show at Madison Square Garden, with frequent ads and promos mentioning it on Raw and SmackDown this week. They then loaded up the night with big title matches, including Brock Lesnar vs Mystery Opponent, Roman Reigns vs Mystery Opponent, a Triple Threat match between Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley, and Ronda Rousey in a tag match, just to name a few. The loaded map and the tantalizing aftermath of WrestleMania is one of the reasons why WWE fans are frustrated that they can’t stream the event anywhere, as only those who attend it live can view it.
Even more interesting is the fact that WWE brought in cameras to film Lesnar’s WWE Championship match like they did on Raw or SmackDown, teasing that it would be a big enough WrestleMania angle that they would want to film it to show later. but if you’re not at MSG right now, you unfortunately won’t be able to see it unfold live.
WWE fans are very upset about this and have taken to social media to share their concern, and you can find some reactions starting on the next slide. You can find a full description of today’s MSG event below.
