Preview...
Despite a number of the WWE’s recent breakout stars headlining both Raw and Smackdown throughout the year, WrestleMania 33 will feel like déjà vu for many, with the main event set to see old rivals Goldberg and Lesnar face off, 13 years after their first Mania encounter.
The Undertaker will also look to stretch his incredible Mania record to 24-1 when he takes on Roman Reigns, while the WWE Championship will be up for grabs when former partners Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton – winner of the Royal Rumble – go head-to-head.
Shane McMahon will return to the squared-circle to take on former champion AJ Styles in a bitter and hate-fuelled feud that stemmed from the latter losing the WWE Championship at the Rumble and subsequently throwing the former through a car window.
Also on the match card, Seth Rollins returns from a knee injury inflicted by Triple H, who turned on his protégé in a long-winded feud that should culminate at WrestleMania.

Good evening and welcome to The Independent's WrestleMania 33 live blog, where we'll bring you all the latest news, action and highlights from Orlando as the biggest night in the WWE calendar takes place.
Ahead of WrestleMania, here's a look at how the two brands, Raw and Smackdown, shape up going into the night:
So which one could steal the show? We reckon it might be the blue half of the WWE:
Result: On the WrestleMania pre-show, Dean Ambrose has RETAINED his Intercontinental Championship against Baron Corbin. That means we're just five minutes away from getting the main show started!
We're kicking off with the US national anthem as always, and this year it's Tinache singing it...nope, I'm not sure who she is either.
WrestleMania opens up with a pretty cool montage depicting a rollercoaster rolling though all of those who will feature tonight. That's one thing we're definitely going to get, the next four hours are going to be one hell of a rollercoaster!
It's a New Day!
The WrestleMania hosts make their entrance immediately, much to the delight of the WWE Universe. They're rolling down the longest WrestleMania entrance ever seen, and at this rate it's going to take The Undertaker an absolute age to make his way out tonight.
