UPDATE: WWE deleted the article right as I was posting this one. Beloved Twitter personality @TheFrayMovement tweeted screen grabs of the article, though:

ORIGINAL ARTICLE:

Earlier today, WWE.com posted the official announcement (sort of, t’s on the site but I cant find where it’s supposed to be linked for) of the March 12th March to WrestleMania special that will air live on WWE Network from the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It wasn’t a secret that the show was coming, but WWE hadn’t really acknowledged it until now.

The big news coming out of the announcement is that not only is Brock Lesnar wrestling on the show as expected, but Triple H will be as well, and he’ll be defending the WWE World Heavyweight Championship there for the first time since winning it at the Royal Rumble. His challenger has not been announced as of yet.

Triple H will also be wrestling 13 days later at Madison Square Garden, where, as we noted yesterday, the lineup has been changed to include he and Sheamus vs. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose as the main even (Kevin Owens vs. A.J. Styles was also added). Since Triple H transitioned into a part time role as a wrestler several years ago, he’ll sometimes return at a major market house show to shake potential ring rust off, and it looks like he’s doing that again here.

Past house show return matches even included the blow-off to Triple H’s feud with Sheamus, as he was transitioning to feuding with The Undertaker for WrestleMania so their program was forgotten on TV.
