WWE superstars Brock Lesnar and Drew McIntyre will battle for the WWE Championship in what will likely be the main event of WrestleMania 36’s second night on Sunday – which also now has a college basketball tie-in.
Rick Pitino, the new coach of the Iona Gaels, and his son Richard Pitino, coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers, agreed to a wager over the outcome of the WWE title match.
If Drew McIntyre wins the match and becomes the new world champion, the younger Pitino’s Golden Gophers will travel to New Rochelle, New York, for a road game against the Gaels. If former Minnesota national champion wrestler Lesnar wins, however, the Gaels will go on the road to play in Minnesota.
If @BrockLesnar wins, you guys play at Iona next year. If @DMcIntyreWWE wins, we’ll play at the Barn.

How about you reverse that and it’s a deal. Can’t root against a Gopher https://t.co/9jrj5FJ5AX
