10 Matches that will make WrestleMania 35 better than this year's edition

Possibly the last WrestleMania for John Cena

Wrestlemania is the biggest event in the wrestling industry. This is chiefly due to the booking of the show, but the product in the recent times has not been what the fans want it to be. There were two extreme bookings in even the last year Mania.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

Wrestlemania 34 is considered as an average show with some monumental moments like Kingslayer finally capturing the IC title, Daniel Bryan making his much-awaited comeback, and shockingly a good debut by Ronda Rousey in an inter-gender match, and some questionable bookings like Charlotte ending Asuka's undefeated run, Lesnar retaining the Universal Championship, and Undertaker squashing John Cena.

Here are 11 matches that WWE needs to make so that Wrestlemania 35 does not end up like Wrestlemania 34, and become one of the best Wrestlemanias of all-time.

#10 John Cena vs Braun Strowman

John Cena puts over Braun Strowman

Last year, this match happened on RAW, where Braun Strowman stood tall after decimating John Cena, but the Wrestlemania version will so much different than this.

These two competitors are the biggest box draws till date. Cena is the biggest superstar in WWE right now and Strowman is still the hottest act in the company today. So putting them against each other is a no-brainer.

Strowman has an aura around him, just like Stone Cold Steve Austin had around him. When his music hits, you know hell is about to break loose.

Cena is also one of the fewest superstars who can work well with the bigger sized athletes, his matches with Mark Henry and The Big Show is a testament to this statement.

The Cenation Leader is at the fag end of his illustrious career, and what better person to put over than Strowman. This match can truly be the end of an era.

#9 Club vs SAnitY

Faction vs Faction match

The Club and the SAnitY are arguably the two of the best factions in the world today, and both of them are not even the mainstay of Smackdown Live.

Sanity were major stars in NXT, but could not replicate the same success in the main roster likewise, Club as Bullet Club conquered the New Japan, and came to WWE with the same motive, but things have not worked like how they would have expected while AJ Styles is the WWE Champion, but collectively they have failed.

This feud and the match can be the start of the better thing to come for both the factions. Faction wars are usually great to watch, and superstars like Styles and Eric Young to it. SAnitY could cost Styles the WWE Championship, and have the Good Brothers come to AJ' calvary, thus beautifully setting up a feud between the two groups.

#8 The New Day vs The Usos

No better match than this

There is no fitting match for the Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship than this match. Usos and New Day helped elevate the tag team division in Smackdown since the brand-split.

The New Day and Usos have put on Tag Team classics on multiple instances, and in my view, they have earned a match to showcase their talent in the Grandest Shows of them all.

Behind all the pancakes, booty o's, trombone there are three superstars who are the best in the business, and Usos are still the best Tag Team in the wrestling industry today.

Tag Team Championship always end up as multi-team championship matches, but these two teams are the ones who deserve to break this theme.

New Day vs Usos have burned the roof in many arenas, now it is time for them to do it in Wrestlemania 35.

#7 The Undertaker vs The Demon Balor with Undertaker's career on the line

The Demon finally rises

Wrestlemania is the place where dreams come to true if this match happens then dreams of fans all over the world will come true.

Demon King vs Deadman is one of the few matches that the WWE Universe is dying, and this might be the only chance of that happening.

Wrestlemania has defined the Undertaker' career, and this Wrestlemania can very well be his last Mania as a wrestler. What better farewell match for Undertaker than one with Finn Balor at the Grandest Stage?

Finn Balor is probably one of the best wrestlers at the moment but has been struggling the mid-card and lower mid-card due to some poor bookings. This match can serve as the revival to the career of Balor.

#6 Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair for the RAW Women's championship

Could the Queen finally end the reign of Ronda Rousey?

This the fight that WWE has been building up since the first Mae Young Classic where the four horsewomen of WWE met the four horsewomen of UFC.

Ronda Rousey and Charlotte are the best in their respective group, and putting these women under one program has success written all over it.

Charlotte's move to Smackdown Live seemed like WWE wanted these two separated till the meet at Wrestlemania.

The writers could have Charlotte Flair win the second annual Royal Rumble and challenge Rousey to match at Wrestlemania for RAW Women's championship.

We are currently living in Women's revolution, and where women have their own pay-per-view.

Two women main eventing Wrestlemania can be the cherry on the ice for Women's revolution.

#5 Drew Mcintyre vs Dolph Ziggler for Intercontinental Championship

The rise of Drew Mcintyre

WWE have highly favored longtime booking in the recent times. This is evident from the feuds like Kevin Owens vs Chris Jericho, and Sasha Banks vs Bayley. Drew Mcintyre and Dolph Ziggler feud are going to be quite similar.

The redemption of Drew Mcintyre is one of the most inspiring stories in the wrestling world today.

After being released from the company in 2014, McIntyre went to the independent scene where he trained himself to evolve into a physical beast to fit in the mold of WWE. The Showoff is still one of the best wrestlers on both the rosters.

Ziggler has not been given the push that he deserves, and usually been wasted in the mid-card or the lower mid-card.

There are heavy rumors of him leaving the company once his contract expires, and putting over McIntyre at the grandest stage can be the best thing that Dolph can do in Wrestlemania.

If given a solid 20 minutes, these two wrestlers are capable of putting a match of the year candidate match.

#4 The Authors of Pain vs Revival vs American Alpha for RAW Tag Team Championship

Ready willing and Gable

While the Tag Team division in Smackdown is at their peak, the Tag Team division in RAW looks very feeble.

There are only a handful of goof Tag Teams in RAW right now. The former tag champs B-Team are not a credible tag team due to their poor booking, and Drew Mcintrye, and Dolph Ziggler are on the verge of a split. This leaves only AOP, Revival in the entire tag division.

American Alpha can be the boost that the RAW tag team division desperately needs. A returning Jason Jordan uniting once again with Chad Gable can be great for both wrestlers.

American Alpha have put on great matches in NXT as well as Smackdown Live, and Wrestlemania can be the supreme place to return.

It is highly unlikely that WWE will go with two tag matches involving only two teams. Tag matches were the weakest point in Wrestlemania's off late, this theme can change if this fantasy match is indeed booked.

#3 Rey Mysterio vs Shinsuke Nakamura vs Rusev vs Aleister Black vs Randy Orton vs Brother Nero(Jeff Hardy) for the United States Championship in a ladder match

Jeff Hardy returning as Brother Nero will be lit

Multi men matches are part and parcel of Wrestlemania as WWE tries to accommodate almost every wrestler in the show. This time it will be no different as a 6 man ladder match can determine the US champion.

Wrestlemania is known for its surprises, and what better surprise than Jeff Hardy returning as Brother Nero at the grandest stage.

One can already hear the "Delete" chants in their ears. This makes perfect sense in storyline-wise as Randy Orton recently wiped the identity of Jeff Hardy.

Rey Mysterio is rumored to compete for the US championship against Nakamura at WWE Crown Jewel and expected to feature the blue brand.

It makes sense for Rusev to be a part of this match as he is the most over wrestler in the entire brand.

An Aleister Black debut at Wrestlemania 35 can be the talking point of the entire show, who knows he can even end up winning the US title.

#2 Roman Reigns vs Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship

Destined to fight each other

It's gotta happen eventually right? Fans have been clamoring for a triple threat match between the Shield brothers ever since Dean Ambrose was drafted back to Monday Night RAW.

WWE usually loves to break up tag team in a savage manner, historically when it hurts the hearts of WWE Universe.

This is where Ambrose, Reigns, and Rollins are probably headed. It may not be anytime soon, but seeds have already been sowed.

Tensions are clearly visible between the Lunatic Fringe and rest of the Shield. An Ambrose heel turn can very well be the reason for this match.

WWE tried to go in this direction last year, but an injury to Ambrose at the wrong time halted the plans.

A heel Ambrose can challenge Reigns for the Universal championship at Royal Rumble, and Rollins, on the other hand, can win the Royal Rumble to challenge his brothers for the Universal Championship.

#1 The Miz vs Daniel Bryan for WWE Championship in a Last Man Standing Match

Related image
This is a match that has been in making since 2010

Is there a bigger main event match than this? Ever since Daniel Bryan's return to active competition this is a feud that the WWE Universe was waiting for, and WWE acknowledged it and cashed in immediately and this feud has been the major part of Smackdown Live.

Daniel Bryan was still the most over star even when he called it a day, and the promo on an episode of Talking Smack by The Miz about Daniel injuring himself, and leaving the fans while Miz is still here and performing day in and day out. This gave Miz the heat that every heal essentially needs.

Although Miz is not the best when it comes to in-ring, and not even par with Daniel, he has improved a lot, and no one can sell a feud quite like him. The talking point about Miz is that he makes almost every feud personal.

A Title match at Wrestlemania can be the perfect conclusion for this once in a lifetime feud.
