The event will be headlined by the Brock Lesnar vs Randy Orton showdown, with a great undercard including Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor for the brand new WWE Universal Championship.
For pro wrestling fans around the world, this is is the second biggest weekend of the year (after WrestleMania), with the NXT Takeover: Brooklyn special taking place in the same building on Saturday evening.
NXT Takeover, which offers a stacked card headlined by Shiunsuke Nakamura vs. Samoa Joe for the NXT Championship. The women’s title is also on the line as Bayley squares off against defending champion Asuka.
