The SmackDown Women’s Championship match was announced for the WrestleMania Kickoff Show earlier this week, but it has now apparently been moved to the main WrestleMania card. WWE is no longer listing it as a “Kickoff Match” on their website.
After it was announced that the match would be on the pre-show, there was a #GiveSDWomenAChance hashtag going around on Twitter and some other criticism online, so it seems like WWE has listened to that.
Becky Lynch tweeted:
You spoke up. You're awesome. Thank you . #WrestleMania

That leaves two matches for the two hour kickoff show (for now, unless another match is moved down):
– WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Neville (c) vs. Austin Aries
– Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
