Run It Back: WrestleMania 39 Rematch Officially Set For Night Of Champions

Round two. WrestleMania 39 took place in early April and was the biggest WWE event of the year. The show took place over two nights and featured a variety of title matches with various champions retaining their titles in various ways. That does not mean those stories are done though, as we now have a WrestleMania rematch set for a show nearly two months later.

WWE has announced that Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair will defend her title against Asuka at Night Of Champions. This is a rematch from WrestleMania 39, when Belair successfully defended her title. Asuka attacked Belair last week on SmackDown, interrupting Belair’s Championship Celebration. Night Of Champions will be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on May 27.

The two do have a history. Check out how we got here:

Opinion: This isn’t the biggest surprise as the attack on SmackDown more or less guaranteed that the rematch would be taking place. It’s a bit of a strange choice as Belair defeated Asuka at WrestleMania and then moved on to defeat Iyo Sky at Backlash. Either way, the match should be good as the two have chemistry in the ring and it could go either way.
