Bengaluru, March 2: WWE has confirmed four matches for Wrestlemania 36 and two of the announcements were made on this past episode of Smackdown.
The WWE and Universal Championship matches were booked alongside the NXT Women’s Championship match. Also, the returning John Cena was inserted into the card to take on The Fiend Bray Wyatt to make the rumours true.
Now two more matches are being speculated for the 'show of shows’ on April 5th with both of them contested for the mid-card titles from the red and blue brand of the WWE. Both the United States and Intercontinental Championships will be on the line, as per the current story angles with both the matches set to feature multiple superstars.
Wwfoldschool.com reports that WWE is set to insert two matches into the WrestleMania 36 match card which are as follows,
– Intercontinental Championship Match: Braun Strowman (c) vs. Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan
– United States Championship Match: Andrade (c) vs. Humberto Carrillo vs. Angel Garza vs. Rey Mysterio

Later, Sheamus is likely to enter the IC title picture with the mid-card belt being the only unfulfilled goal of his WWE Career. He has never won this mid-card belt and capturing this belt would make him a Grand Slam Winner. So, WWE will finally allow Sheamus to fulfill that at the grandest stage.
As for Daniel Bryan, he is not involved in any significant feud since Royal Rumble 2020. So, involving Bryan in this feud seems the easiest option for the creative team especially as he is a dependable name who can be used in a significant way at Wrestlemania.
As mentioned above, defending the belt in a fatal-4-way bout won’t give him the upper-hand. The interesting part is if he drops the belt, it would be possessed by another Mexican superstar sending joyful vibes around the Latin America fanbase.
