(STINGER: WWE)

Charlotte Flair revealed why she’s been missing from WWE TV recently. She tweeted Monday night that she tested positive for COVID-19.

Charlotte had challenged the Raw Women’s Champion Asuka to a title match at WrestleMania...but Charlotte never got an answer.

Last night, Rhea Ripley arrived on Raw...challenged Asuka...and Ripley got the title match at Mania.

Ripley’s challenge came after Asuka submitted Peyton Royce.

More of the WrestleMania card is coming into focus.

Randy Orton vs. The Fiend was made official...moments after Orton - who toted a can of gasoline to the ring to “summon” The Fiend - only to be taken down with a Sister Abigail.

The Miz will face Bad Bunny one-on-one at Mania. Miz challenged Bad Bunny before he beat Jeff Hardy last night. After the match, Bad Bunny struck Miz from behind with a guitar...and accepted the challenge.

Braun Strowman challenged Shane McMahon to a match at Mania...and Shane accepted, adding Braun can pick any match he wants.

WWE also locked in SIX matches for Nights 1 and 2 Of Mania

Night 1
Lashley vs Drew
Banks vs Belair
Miz vs Bad Bunny

Night 2
Reigns vs Edge
Asuka vs Ripley
Orton vs. Fiend

Last night’s Raw was a tough one for The Hurt Business.

Drew McIntyre beat Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin in a 2-on-1 match. As a result, they’re banned from ringside for McIntyre’s match against WWE Champ Bobby Lashley at Mania.

Earlier, Alexander and Benjamin helped Lashley beat Sheamus in a non-title match. Lashley wasn’t very happy about that. He was even more upset after they lost to McIntyre. So, Lashley went into the Raw locker room and offered “an opportunity” to anyone who takes out McIntyre.

As for Sheamus, he was later interviewed backstage when Riddle interrupted. So, Sheamus attacked him with his own scooter.

New details on when WWE’s ThunderDome will need to move out of Tampa’s Tropicana Field. Spectrum Sports 360’s Jon Alba was first to report...WWE’s time at the ballpark will end after a SmackDown taping on April 2nd.

That likely means the final Raw and SmackDown episodes before WrestleMania will be pre-recorded.

Alba added sources are telling him WWE is expected to keep the ThunderDome in the Tampa area - moving to the University of South Florida’s Yeungling Center.
