Seth Rollins wasn’t the only former champ who got some good news yesterday.

There was uncertainty about how or if it would happen, some of which was caused by Big E suffering a broken neck on SmackDown earlier this month. But former WWE champions Kofi Kingston and Sheamus now have a place on the WrestleMania 38 card.

WWE announced yesterday that Kingston and the recently returned Xavier Woods will face Sheamus and Ridge Holland (along with the nefarious Butch, natch) on WrestleMania Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Here’s an updated look at everything that’s been announced for this weekend...

WrestleMania Saturday (April 2)

In addition the main cards, WWE also has two hour Kickoff shows planned for each night. Something like the New Day vs. Peaky Blinders tag match could end up on the pre-show, along with perhaps United States and Intercontinental title defenses for Finn Bálor and Ricochet?
