Sports lovers to enjoy WWE action and world class motorsport
Although Lesnar was originally scheduled to challenge The Head of the Table at WWE Day 1, Reigns tested positive for COVID-19 and was unable to defend the Universal Title at the first premier live event of the year.
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) fans are set for a thrilling two-nights of the event of the year – WrestleMania that will feature several high-stakes championship matchups including the biggest match of all-time between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns.
The Winner Take All Championship Unification Match is scheduled for April 2 and 3rd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
“Customers on all DStv packages and GOtv subscribers on Plus, Max and Supa packages can enjoy The WWE Channel (DStv 128 and GOtv Channel 36) during the open window which commenced on Monday 21 March and will run until 5th April. This will give WWE fans the chance to see not only the weekly WWE NXT, Raw and SmackDown shows live (or prime time repeats later the same day), but also the greatest event in the WWE Universe…WrestleMania,” said Multichoice Kenya in a statement.
WrestleMania which premiered in 1985, is the most pivotal event and is usually held annually between mid-March and mid-April by WWE, the world’s largest professional wrestling promotion.
Although Lesnar was originally scheduled to challenge The Head of the Table at WWE Day 1, Reigns tested positive for COVID-19 and was unable to defend the Universal Title at the first premier live event of the year.
After being fired by Reigns days earlier, however, Paul Heyman once again took on the role of Advocate for Lesnar and negotiated for his client to be added to the Day 1 WWE Title Fatal 4-Way Match instead. Thanks to Heyman’s maneuvering, The Beast was free to conquer the field and claim the WWE Championship.
During Lesnar’s WWE Title defense against Bobby Lashley at Royal Rumble, Reigns suddenly emerged when the referee was down and used some surprise help from the treacherous Heyman to strike Brock with the title and allow Lashley to reclaim his WWE Championship.
The WWE Universe would not have to wait to see how Lesnar would react. On the same night, the furious Beast stormed his way to the ring as a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble Match and claimed victory in dominant fashion.
With the right to challenge the World Champion of his choosing, Lesnar emerged the following night on Raw and immediately chose to go to war with the Universal Champion. As a result, Reigns will finally have his showdown against The Conqueror on The Grandest Stage of Them All!
“Roman Reigns has had the longest run as Universal Champion in WWE history,” Lesnar admitted. “But that will mean nothing when he steps into the ring to face me. I’m going to break him, take his title and leave his reputation in tatters. This will be the end of Reigns as ‘The Tribal Chief’, mark my words.”
Already, Formula 1 fans have enjoyed two thrilling rounds of the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship -the first in Bahrain and last week the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix that was held live at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
“DStv fans of speed and burning rubber, will now have all access to SuperSport Motorsport (DStv 215) until Thursday, March 31. The channel has already showcased a great Formula 1 season with the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Grand Prix.
Fans can also enjoy the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, LLC (NASCAR) action, an American auto racing sanctioning and operating company that is best known for stock car racing. Stock car racing is a form of automobile racing run on oval tracks and road courses measuring approximately 0.25 to 2.66 miles. It originally used production-model cars, hence the name “stock car”, but is now run using cars specifically built for racing.
