Could we revisit 2010 and have yet another Career vs Career match?
Could we revisit 2010 and have yet another Career vs Career match?

Roman Reigns main-evented WWE WrestleMania four years in a row. Unfortunately, his current absence from WWE programming means the company will possibly have another superstar from the new era main-event the show.

Every year since 2012, the main-event has seen one part-timer facing off against a full-time superstar. However, there is a major possibility of that streak ending this time around.

Several superstars from this era, including the likes of Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, and Braun Strowman will feel that its their opportunity to shine. WWE has failed to create mega superstars in recent times, and this is the perfect opportunity to do so.

We look at 5 interesting possibilities for a WrestleMania 35 main event. WWE may or may not make these match-ups a reality, but one can hope!


#5 Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose

A perfect end for a glorious rivalry
A perfect end for a glorious rivalry

Before Roman Reigns had to take a leave of absence, rumors of a Shield triple threat in the main-event of WrestleMania for the Universal Championship were flying around. The three brothers in arms previously fought for the WWE Championship in 2016, after which the brand split came into existence.

Dean Ambrose was inured in early 2017, which led to yet another Lesnar vs Roman match at Mania. This time around, Reigns had to take a break due to ill health. However, WWE executed Dean Ambrose's heel turn to inch perfect precision, opening several new possibilities.

Ambrose's heel turn means he and Seth are on a path to a major heated rivalry. Their feud already reeks of the Gargano vs Ciampa feud from NXT. A much loved babyface and a silent sadistic monster.

Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose were always touted as the next big things along with Roman Reigns, but fell in the pecking order due to Roman's mega push. This could be their moment to shine!

#4 Daniel Bryan vs The Miz

Daniel Bryan is the last full timer apart from Roman Reigns to have main-evented WrestleMania. His popularity knew no bounds in 2014, resulting in him carving out a brilliant underdog story, and winning the world championship at WrestleMania 30.

Daniel Bryan and The Miz have had a rivalry for over 8 years now, and is one of the prime examples of long-term storytelling. Daniel Bryan himself admitted a match against Miz at WrestleMania would be a perfect end to the feud.

Bryan and Miz however are still not done with their rivalry. A roll-up victory followed by a two-minute match in Australia cannot be the culmination of a decade long feud.

Miz could well be the next challenger for AJ Styles' WWE Championship, and could end up winning it once AJ breaks Punk's record.

Daniel Bryan winning the Royal Rumble and going on to face The Miz for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania would be one of the best storylines in WWE history.

#3 Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair

The Baddest Woman vs The Queen? Perfection

Stephanie McMahon's women's revolution proclamation is frequently termed as too forced, and non-existent. However, WWE produced one of the best PPVs in recent times with WWE Evolution, and it featured the ladies showcasing their fine talents.

Charlotte Flair is one of the first female wrestlers to be part of this revolution and has set the bar high with her impeccable wrestling skills and in-ring ability. Her matches with Sasha Banks during their 2016 feud were nothing short of extraordinary.

Ronda Rousey made her transition to professional wrestling after a hugely successful MMA career. Fans were skeptical of her in-ring work, but she has proven every doubter wrong. Her matches have set the world on fire, and she has slowly and steadily improved to become one of the best superstars on the roster.

A match between these two ladies would be revolutionary and history making, and if done correctly, could end up becoming the greatest women's wrestling match ever.

#2 The Undertaker vs John Cena

John Cena clamoured for a match against The Undertaker for most of WrestleMania season last time around. He finally got a match, but fans were deprived of a real feud between these two superstars.

Arguably the two greatest superstars ever, both have done it all on the big stage. The WWE Universe got to witness a match between them, but it ended up being a squash in Undertaker's favor.

A final match for The Undertaker (he is 53 now!) at WrestleMania could happen next year. His body is giving out, and Cena could be the right guy to retire The Undertaker once and for all. A Career vs Career match between the two legends of the business will be a major selling point.

John Cena was the poster boy of the company before Reigns came along, with Reigns out of action, WWE would most likely turn to their former top guy.

#1 AJ Styles vs John Cena

AJ vs Cena III. Lets go!

John Cena again! AJ Styles has officially completed one year as the WWE Champion. He looks set to break CM Punk's record reign of 434 days, and will most likely carry the title until WrestleMania.

John Cena is just one title victory away from becoming the most crowned superstar in wrestling history. He defeated AJ Styles to win his record equaling 16th reign. He could well defeat the same individual to capture his record breaking 17th world championship reign.

John Cena needs a major story leading to his record breaking reign. What better moment than to defeat a guy who has held on to the title for almost 500 days (provided he keeps it until WrestleMania)?

AJ Styles and John Cena have produced two good encounters already, and a WrestleMania main-event would be a perfect end to their feud.

AJ Styles needs to main-event at least one WrestleMania before he hangs up his boots, and this is the perfect moment to do so!
