The Wrestlemania 34 match card is said to be perhaps the greatest of all-time with a number of dream matches on the card. There are several main events in-store for the night that will come to fruition much to the delight of the crowd.
Almost, each of the matchups has their own significance which is why getting some of these matches at the kick-off show is really unfortunate.
But, it is not possible to host all the contests on the main card which is why WWE has confirmed those matches which will take place at the Wrestlemania 34 kick-off show. It will start streaming two hours prior to the main show.
According to the announcements, three matches are slated to be hosted on this show.
However, the two-hour WrestleMania 34 Kickoff pre-show on Sunday will witness the fifth annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, the inaugural WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal and the final of the Cruiserweight Championship tournament.
The title is vacant since Royal Rumble weekend ever since Enzo Amore was stripped off it.
Here’s what YOU can see THIS SUNDAY on #WrestleMania Kickoff starting at 5e/2p!

But, it’s no wonder that we would witness the Cruiserweight title’s fate to be determined at the pre-show since this is the match not directly related to the main roster.
Even, last year, too, the match was conducted in the same slot despite two veteran performers like Neville or Austin Aries.
Furthermore, the ATGM Battle Royal has been the solidified place for those superstars for those who can’t get a match at the Wrestlemania. Hence, this one too has been shifted to the pre-show card.
Moreover, with the women’s roster gradually growing, WWE has also come up with the same idea in the form of the Women’s Battle Royal.
