The WrestleMania card is partially completed, with a few matches yet to be announced. We know WWE is holding a ladder match for the tag team championships. Finn Balor and Damian Priest will defend their gold. A few teams have been confirmed, but there is still room and WWE could easily switch some names around. 

On the The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, pro wrestling journalist Bill Apter went over The Hardys’ AEW status. Basically, he thinks a WWE return could happen at the grand show. “I have a feeling if The Hardys contract is coming up soon that we might even see them in that six-way ladder match at WrestleMania,” said Bill Apter.
