Despite the ongoing crisis, WrestleMania 36 is scheduled to take place on April 4th and 5th as it will span across two days for the first time in the event's history. There will not be any live audience and the show will emanate from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL.
The lack of passionate fans will definitely hurt the PPV but that will not stop the Superstars from giving their all to entertain millions across the globe. We have a look at five matches that can potentially steal the show at this year's WrestleMania.
#5 Kevin Owens vs Seth Rollins
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins are two of the best pro wrestlers in the World. Whenever they share a ring, the match bound to be an instant classic. History speaks for itself. Both of them have been involved in a lot of great matches over the years. Both men were involved in a long feud for the Universal Championship during the latter half of 2016. Rollins was unable to dethrone Kevin Owens due to constant interference by Chris Jericho who was KO's best friend at that time.
Fast forward now, the two of them have been locked in a feud post Survivor Series 2019 . Rollins eventually turned heel while forming a stable with AOP and Murphy in the process. The Stable has been a constant obstacle for the Prizefighter on the Red Brand . Even with the help of Samoa Joe, The Big Show, The Street Profits and the Viking Raiders, KO has been unable to overcome the Monday Night Messiah .
On March 16th edition of RA, Kevin Owens accepted Seth Rollins' Challenge and expressed his desire to face him on The Grandest Stage of them all. They will now clash at WrestleMania which may mark the end of this Feud once and for all. Even without the fans,the match can be a potential showstealer given the amazing chemistry between the two Superstars.
#4 The Undertaker vs AJ Styles (Boneyard Match)
The Undertaker is arguably one of the greatest Superstars of all time. The Deadman is widely respected by everyone in the business. Throughout his Career, The Undertaker has faced several notable opponents which includes Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and many other legends of the industry.
AJ Styles is currently one of the best Superstars on the WWE Roster. Throughout his career, The Phenomenal One has competed all over the world . During his time in WWE, Styles has had multiple great matches against opponents like John Cena, Roman Reigns, Chris Jericho and Samoa Joe .
AJ Styles and The Undertaker are now set to clash at WrestleMania. This all started when Undertaker inserted himself in the Gauntlet match and took out Styles to win the Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy at Super ShowDown this year. Since then Styles has been calling out The Deadman and even dragged his wife Michelle McCool into the mix making it extremely personal.
The Undertaker vs AJ Styles was always considered a dream match by the WWE Universe. With Styles' history of having great Matches and The Deadman's experience in the ring, this bout has all the tools to steal the show at the Grandest Stage of them All .
#3 Brock Lesnar vs Drew McIntyre (WWE Championship Match)
Brock Lesnar is probably one of the most dominant forces in WWE history. Ever since his Return in 2012, The Beast has been on a tear in WWE. He has taken down John Cena, Triple H, Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles and many other competitors who stood in his way.
Lesnar has held multiple World Titles ever since his return most notably, the Universal Championship which he held for a record 504 days .
Drew McIntyre was once labelled as The Chosen One and a future World Champion by Vince McMahon himself. Fast forward, McIntyre is finally one step away from fulfilling this prophecy.
Earlier this year, The Scottish Psychopath won the Men's Royal Rumble Match by to earn a title Shot at WrestleMania. He chose Brock Lesnar as his opponent.
During the Royal Rumble Match, Brock Lesnar entered first and eliminated 13 Superstars. It was until Drew McIntyre entered at No. 16 and with some help from Ricochet, he eliminated him with a ferocious Claymore.
Both men will now collide at WrestleMania and it is expected to be a hard-hitting bout. McIntyre will be looking to capture his first major title in WWE. With all the emotion involved, it is certain that this match can be a potential Showstealer if done right.
#2 Charlotte Flair vs Rhea Ripley (NXT Women's Championship)
Charlotte Flair is one of the most decorated female Superstars in the history of WWE. The Queen is also a record 10-time Women's Champion. Charlotte has been a force to reckon with on the main roster as well. She along with Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks and Bayley are considered to be the four horsewomen of WWE. They played a huge role in the Women's Revolution.
Earlier this year, Charlotte won the Women's Royal Rumble Match. Usually, the Royal Rumble winners either go for RAW or SmackDown Women's Championships but for the first time, a Royal Rumble winner will go after a NXT title.
Rhea Ripley, who is the current NXT Women's Champion issued a challenge to Charlotte which she did not respond at first. After Ripley successfully defended her title at NXT TakeOver: Portland, The Queen attacked her and accepted the WrestleMania challenge.
Ripley and Charlotte are two of the best in-ring workers and if given ample time, this bout will easily be a candidate for Match of the Night.
#1 Edge vs Randy Orton (Last Man Standing Match)
One of the memorable moments in WWE history occurred during the Men's Royal Rumble match this year when the Rated-R Superstar, Edge, returned to in-ring action. Edge entered the Royal Rumble at No. 21 which left the WWE Universe on their feet. The former World Champion was forced to retire in 2011. Edge and Randy Orton formed a temporary alliance during the Match. The Rated-R Superstar, later on, eliminated Orton from the match as he became aware of The Viper's true intentions.
On the RAW after Royal Rumble, Edge made it clear that he wants to retire on his terms this time around. Orton came out and offered him a chance to reform Rated-RKO. Moments later, The Viper turned on Edge by giving him an RKO and then proceed to give him a Con-Chair-To.
The feud became very personal when Orton attacked Edge's wife, Beth Phoenix. The Rated-R Superstar challenged Orton for a Last Man Standing Match at WrestleMania 36 which was duly accepted by Orton.
This will be Edge's first Match in nine years and there could not have been a better opponent than Randy Orton. With all the emotions involved, this match can easily outshine the other matches on The Grandest Stage of them all.
