New matches are now set for WrestleMania following Saturday’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.

Brock Lesnar will meet Roman Reigns in a Champion vs. Champion, Winner Takes All match. Lesnar won the WWE Championship in the men’s Chamber match on Saturday.

The former champion, Bobby Lashley, never got into the match. He was removed from the match after being struck by a busted glass panel on his pod after a Seth Rollins powerbomb to Austin Theory.

And now, there are reports that Lashley is dealing with a legitimate shoulder injury.

Earlier in the show, White beat Eric Young.

This. Is. Mayhem Mania!

It’s not just the ultimate fantasy booking challenge. It’s also a competitive thought experiment! The object of Mayhem Mania is to craft the best WrestleMania card possible within the boundaries of our current reality. That means anyone WWE can book in a match is available to our players. But this year, there’s a twist! Mayhem Mania 2022 is a two-night event! Night 1 will be the night for our traditional Mayhem Mania card featuring WWE-related matches. But on Night 2, we open the “forbidden door” and make it possible for our players to create matches with anyone outside of WWE. In the opening round of Mayhem Mania, our players created six matches for both our Night 1 and Night 2 cards. Now, the real fun begins. Every week, more players will arrive on the scene and make a change to one of the matches.
