5 Matches that are rumored to take place at WrestleMania 36

WrestleMania 36 is a few weeks away, but only two matches have been officially announced for the 'Show of Shows'.

Although WWE had the card ready for 'Mania, it's reported to be undergoing major changes, which leaves us with the question -- what will this year's 'Mania card look like.

Now, it's not certain that all the rumors churning out the WWE rumor mill are true, but this feature would rather give you a glimpse of the matches that could take place at the 'Showcase of Immortals'.

That said, without further ado, let's take a look at this list and see which five matches are rumored to take place at WrestleMania 36.

#5 AJ Styles vs The Undertaker

Ever since AJ Styles made his WWE debut, a match between him and The Undertaker is being requested by the fans.

Although this match between "The Phenomenal One' and "The Phenom" could have taken place by now, for some unknown reason, it didn't.

But now the fans' wishes could come true as per the latest report, WWE's planning a big match between Styles and 'Taker. Given the magnitude of the match, it's expected to be taking place at WrestleMania this year.

Also, 'Taker was supposed to return on Raw next month, but he made a surprise return at the Super ShowDown event and defeated Styles for the Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy.

If not to cement a match with Styles at 'Mania, then what's the reason for 'Taker to travel to another continent and attack him.

Nonetheless, if this match is on the cards, then expect "The Phenomenal One' to even the score with "The Phenom" in the coming weeks since the latter cost him the Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy.

#4 The Kabuki Warriors vs Beth Phoenix and Natalya

Last year, Asuka and Kairi Sane won the Women's Tag Team Championship when they defeated Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross at the Hell in a Cell PPV.

Now, holding the titles for over 120 days, the two women are expected to walk into WrestleMania as champions and defend the titles against the team of Natalya and WWE Hall of Famer, Beth Phoenix.

As per the latest rumor, the upcoming appearance of Beth on Raw would not only see her providing an update on Edge's condition but also plant the seeds of a match involving her and Natalya against Asuka and Kairi.

That said, Asuka and Kairi have done a decent job in representing the titles and its almost as good as Sasha Banks and Bayley's reign. The Glamazon and the Queen Of Harts have odds in their favor when it comes to who'll be walking out of Tampa, Florida, holding the titles in their hands.

Expect WWE to make this match official as soon as Elimination Chamber PPV is over.

#3 Bayley vs Sasha Banks

Initially, WWE had plans for Bayley to defend the SmackDown Women's Championship against Naomi at WrestleMania this year. But WWE rushed those plans, and Bayley defended the title against Naomi at WWE Super ShowDown instead.

Now, that Bayley has successfully retained the title against Naomi at the event. Therefore, a match between Bayley and Sasha Banks that's rumored for a long time could finally take place at 'Mania this year.

Both, Bayley and Sasha Banks, are working as a heel on the blue brand, therefore, for them to go against each other at 'Mania, one of the women has to turn face soon. However, there is no report that suggests who could be that superstar.

Nonetheless, if that is the plan, then WWE needs to get the right story behind Bayley's and Banks' rivalry. Since, multiple times in the past, WWE has teased some friction between the two women, but they don't happen to have the right story which ends their rivalry long before it even begins.

#2 Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus

Both Daniel Bryan and Sheamus are familiar with each other. In the past, these two men have crossed paths many times for various reasons.

Bryan recently finished his feud with Bray Wyatt for the Universal Championship. Meanwhile, Sheamus also recently returned from the concussion he suffered months ago.

Now, both men aren't currently involved in any major storyline. Therefore, WWE is planning to put the two men against each other in a match at WrestleMania this year.

If both men are booked to go against one another at 'Mania, then it won't be their first time when they'd go one-on-one at the show of shows.

That said, if a match between these two men is on the cards, then expect them to start a rivalry in the coming weeks, which will lead to a match between the two men at 'Mania.

Hopefully, this time their match should last longer than eighteen-seconds, which is what all it took for Sheamus to beat Bryan at WM 28 to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

#1 Charlotte Flair vs Bianca Belair vs Rhea Ripley

Charlotte Flair won the women's Royal Rumble match this year and got herself an opportunity to challenge a title-holder of her choosing at WrestleMania.

Although it was expected that she would go after Raw or SmackDown Women's Championship, Charlotte astonished everyone when she chose to face Rhea Ripley for the NXT Women's Championship at 'Mania.

The match between Charlotte and Rhea has been made official for the show of shows, but it's being reported that Bianca Belair, a former rival of Rhea, could be added into the mix.

The reason behind it is that if WWE plans on giving Charlotte the NXT Women's Title at 'Mania, then she needs to pin or submit her opponent.

Rhea can't be that woman ads her status as a top female star for the Black and Gold brand could drop. Therefore, adding another woman into the match --Bianca Belair-- could do just the right thing.

That said, with or without Bianca Beliar in the match, Rhea Ripley's NXT Women's Championship will be in grave danger when she faces Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 36.
