WWE WrestleMania 31: Live Stream, WWE Network Start Time and Match Card
After driving down the Road to WrestleMania 31 for months, the WWE's annual spectacular has finally arrived.
The WWE Network will carry the company's biggest event for the second year. (How much does it cost per month again? I think they said $8.79, right?) Subscribers will have four hours of wrestling to devour, and that doesn't include the pre-show kickoff.
All the marquee Superstars will come out to play Sunday night. Brock Lesnar will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The Undertaker returns after Lesnar snapped his glorified streak last year. WCW icon Sting will make his WWE wrestling debut against Triple-H, and a few full-time wrestlers will also compete.

Seth Rollins vs. Randy Orton
After spending months waiting for the perfect time to bring him back, Randy Orton finally returned to break away from The Authority and ignite a feud with Seth Rollins.
Rollins gets his first WrestleMania singles match after delivering an instant classic with Lesnar and John Cena at the Royal Rumble. While other bouts carry greater prestige with more storyline significance, these two dynamite performers will likely produce the best singles showing.
Orton doesn't need the victory, as he's an established headliner who gained his revenge by decimating Rollins two weeks ago. Already evening the score from a vicious attack before his scripted absence, there's less payoff for an Orton victory in a non-title bout.
Rollins has spent his heel run switching back and forth from evil, manipulative mastermind to the prototypical cowardly villain. This is the perfect opportunity to establish him as a future champion with a clean win over The Viper.
Also be sure to take careful note of how this ends. If this match goes on early with Rollins escaping relatively unharmed, Mr. Money in the Bank could become the first person to cash in his briefcase at the Showcase of the Immortals.
Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match
Realizing a surplus of popular talent had nothing to do, WWE tossed together a seven-man ladder match for Bad News Barrett's Intercontinental title. It'd be surprising if Barrett didn't drop the belt to one of three major faces competing in what should be a wild contest.
A year after winning WrestleMania's main event, Daniel Bryan is now relegated to this stacked mid-card clash. Once fans across the world are finished fuming at his early Royal Rumble exit, they'll instead cringe at every dangerous spot damaging an injured neck that nearly cost him his career.
WWE has amplified its effort to avoid signifying Bryan's inclusion as a consolation prize. Instead, it is attempting to return glory to the title by having the former World Heavyweight Champion yearn for the one honor he has yet to win over his career.
During an interview with Michael Cole, per the WWE official's Twitter page, he sold the Intercontinental Championship's allure:
All signs point to a Bryan victory to appease fans, but don't rule out a heel turn from Dean Ambrose or Dolph Ziggler. The Lunatic Fringe hasn't won a pay-per-view bout since The Shield disbanded, and his character has taken an unfortunate turn to comic relief. Ziggler's run-ins with Bryan leading up to 'Mania also hint at a potential feud down the road.
Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar
Roman Reigns' victory has felt ordained for the past year, but Lesnar threw a wrinkle into that foregone conclusion by announcing his decision to stay with WWE on SportsCenter.
Given the fan backlash over Reigns' Royal Rumble victory, creative might call an audible and keep the belt on Lesnar as a sporadic grand attraction. Giving Bryan the Intercontinental title and Cena the United States Championship would ease the hit of the main champion's absence.
A clean victory for Reigns would procure a sea of boos, which is not how WWE wants to end the biggest event of the year. The best bet is either for Vince McMahon's chosen star to lose cleanly in a grueling battle or execute a double turn.
Watching Reigns and Paul Heyman giddily compliment each other on Michelle Beadle's Grantland podcast, a possible alliance seems in the cards. Lesnar is already cheered like a face, so it makes sense for the conniving manager to side with the disliked Reigns, who could use the wordsmith more than the Beast Incarnate.
Reigns didn't quite give the Rolling Stone's Kenny Herzog a babyface line when asked about negative fan reaction, saying "when I'm talkin', shut the hell up and let me talk."
If you really want to go overboard with fun theories that will never happen, Lesnar wins, Reigns attacks Lesnar after the match and Rollins comes strolling down the aisle. Ambrose follows to seemingly stop his old foil, but instead smacks Lesnar with his newly earned belt. The Shield becomes reborn under Heyman.
Or Reigns spears his way to the title and the broadcast team pretends the San Francisco crowd is chanting boo-urns. Probably that.
