#1. Hope is true: WWE has already decided on two marquee WrestleMania 39 matches

What's often interesting about the road to WrestleMania is that there are several reports from the WWE rumor mill, and it isn't specific to one event. Take Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar in 2017, for example. Even before WrestleMania 33 took place, it was reported that WWE intended to have both men meet at the following year's WrestleMania.

This year, the two marquee WrestleMania matches are set in stone, and there are big plans for WrestleMania 39 in Hollywood already. The event will take place at the SoFi Stadium and is expected to have even bigger matches than this year.

According to WON, there are plans for a match between The Rock and Roman Reigns, and Becky Lynch vs Ronda Rousey. The former, of course, is all down to whether the company can lock The Rock in for an appearance.

Sportskeeda's Nick Lombardi wrote:

"In the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reports that WWE is currently working on linking two blockbuster matches for the main events of night 1 and night 2 of WrestleMania 39. With The Rock taking on The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns, and Rowdy Ronda Rousey taking on The Man Becky Lynch."

We hope this is true, although the match with The Rock will always be uncertain. He revealed that he "quietly" retired from wrestling, and he had gotten into trouble in 2013 following his injury at WrestleMania 29, as it caused a massive delay in the filming of Hercules.

However, if there's one match that The Rock should return for, it's against Roman Reigns.
