Night 1
Royce Keys vs. Damian Priest: Street Fight
This might be a shocking first pick, but this matchup could work with the right storytelling. While WWE creative has failed to capitalize on Royce Keys since his Royal Rumble debut, a clash with Damian Priest would be compelling, especially since Keys was the one who eliminated Priest from the Rumble.
Creative can incorporate Keys onto the main roster by having him answer Kit Wilson’s open challenge, allowing him to display his impressive physique and dominant style. Afterward, Keys encounters Priest in the locker room to set up a simple, effective rivalry. Priest claims Keys was just lucky at the Royal Rumble, but Keys counters by saying that “Powerhouse” isn’t just an old name, but a promise of the damage he inflicts on anyone in his way.
For Priest, the motive is about catapulting himself back into the title scene where he stood just two years ago, while Keys believes he has everything to prove, and there is no greater place to do so than at WrestleMania. The street fight stipulation is designed to maximize fan engagement, allowing both men to showcase their versatility by blending elite wrestling technique with the chaotic use of chairs and tables.
The Usos (c) vs. Logan Paul & Austin Theory: Tag Team Championship Match
Despite things being a bit chaotic for “The Vision” after the major blows of losing Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed to injury, this match is a perfect opportunity for them to get back on the right path.
Despite the fact that some fans aren’t sold on this match, it works, given that Logan Paul and Austin Theory cost Jey Uso his spot in the Elimination Chamber by attacking him. At the same time, The Usos seek revenge on the members of “The Vision,” and Paul and Theory will be looking to capture Tag Team gold for the first time in their careers.
IYO SKY vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Giulia (c): United States Title Match
This matchup has generated a lot of buzz over the past few weeks. Giulia was initially set to face IYO SKY on the February 20, 2026, episode of SmackDown; however, SKY’s tag team partner, Rhea Ripley, stepped in to replace her without any official explanation.
This has led many to believe that WWE is saving this highly anticipated matchup for a bigger moment, and there is no better stage than WrestleMania. However, just as fans expected a one-on-one showdown, Tiffany Stratton has joined the mix. With no match currently set for the former World Champion, her addition will only intensify the magnitude of the contest and the Women’s United States Championship.
