The pirate-themed WrestleMania 36 logo is based on the logo of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who play their home games at the same stadium where next year’s ‘Mania will take place (the Raymond James Stadium).

Given that the stadium also has a giant pirate ship located at the back of one of the stands, it would only make sense for WWE to feature their very own pirate-inspired Superstar, Kairi Sane (aka “The Pirate Princess”), in a prominent position on the match card.

Many fans are predicting that Sane will be involved in a one-on-one match against fellow Japanese star Asuka on the show, which could mean that the duo’s new tag partnership is unlikely to last a lengthy amount of time.

Granted, there is still a long way to go before WrestleMania 36, but it would make perfect sense from a storyline perspective if Sane and Asuka’s new-found partnership resulted in a rivalry by the time the next ‘Mania comes around.
