While WWE programming might be at its lowest point of creativity at the moment, there is still no denying that WWE's marquee pay-per-view still generates the interest from fans all year round, Wrestlemania may have declined in quality over the last few years but its still the undisputed king of wrestling pay-per-views at the moment.
And while there is still a lot of time left for the show of shows, fans all over the WWE Universe are already excited about the event, and that is due to some really exciting rumours being thrown around on the internet. Rumours should be taken with a grain of salt, as WWE changes their plans faster than Big Show changes his character alignment, so here are some of the biggest Wrestlemania rumours out there.
#1 Shane McMahon will turn heel
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Shane McMahon might be the worst babyface in WWE right now, or he might just be their best heel, as Shane O'Mac has broken all his so-called 'principles' ever since he became the commissioner of Smackdown Live.
From promising to give young talent the exposure they deserve and vowing never to let authority figures to take the spotlight of their superstars, Shane has made sure to break every promise, but why? Is this WWE's plan to turn 'the prodigal son' heel? Well, judging from the rumours going around it seems as if this is WWE's plan, as rumours suggest Shane is going to turn heel in the next few months or even at Wrestlemania itself.
With recent events such as McMahon once again shoehorning himself into the Survivor Series team for the third year in a row and winning the WWE Wolrd Cup, this character change for the boss's son could be true.
#2 HBK in a dream match
The fact that Shawn Micheals has returned to wrestling in 2018 is as bizarre as anything you will see for a very long time, as Micheals has denied the option to wrestling for so long since he retired in a classic at Wrestlemania 26 against The Undertaker.
While HBK feels like his trip to the middle east wasn't a full comeback, wrestling fans have chosen to disagree as the writing is all over the wall that Shawn will be back for on more marquee match.
Most believe it will be against his longtime rival The Undertaker, as HBK retiring "the phenom" once and for all would be a special moment, while others believe it could be a dream match against AJ Styles. Rumours relating to this subject could all be possible, as WWE is looking to use Shawn for one more dream match, that brings the magic back to Wrestlemania.
#3 The Rock will be in action
The Rock is one of the most popular stars in the world today, as his Hollywood career has taken off to a blazing hot start and now "the peoples champ" is one of the highest paid actors in the world today, and while his movies may be a little bit generic, the same can't be said about The Rock's wrestling career, as the man has evolved himself many times in his career. Whether he is a or a babyface or a cocky heel, Dwayne Johnson can put on a great match or elevate a storyline with just about anyone.
Rumour has it that Rock might win the 2019 Royal Rumble match and go to Wrestlemania to face the Wolrd champion Brock Lesnar in a dream rematch. But taking into consideration that this match was originally pitched for Wrestlemania 30, but was cancelled due to The Rock Hollywood commitments, there's no telling whether Rock could be back in the wrestling business at this year's Wrestlemania, but as the man himself said he wants to return to the ring at Wrestlemania 35, so maybe we could see one of WWE's hottest stars in action.
#4 A women's main event
Ronda Rousey is the biggest star in the Women's Division in WWE's eyes, and while fans have christened Becky Lynch as the new face of Smackdown Live, the fact remains management wants what management wants, and Ronda main eventing Wrestlemania could be a possibility according to the rumours.
Ronda vs Charlotte or even Ronda vs Becky could be potential main events for WrestleMania 35, and this could be the best time for WWE to do this matches as there's no hotter period in women's wrestling.
#5 An Evolution reunion
WWE has been ramping up the number of part-timers on Raw and Smackdown Live this year quite a bit, and considering the fact that the rosters on either brand rely on stars from the past to draw a crowd, that is something to be concerned about, but WWE doesn't seem to care as more and more rematches are rumoured for Wrestlemania 35.
One of those nostalgic marquee rematches is Triple H vs Batista and witnessing "The Animal" take on the man that made his career will be a special sight. But after Triple H had been injured at the WWE Crown Jewel event, it seems as if WWE has called this match off. But there could be a replacement for "The Game," and that man is Randy Orton.
Orton vs Batista may not sound as exciting as Triple H vs Batista, but it could be a logical replacement for that match on the Wrestlemania 35 card. Moreover, with Orton terrorizing Batista's longtime friend Rey Mysterio, are we seeing WWE planning a return for "The Animal"?
#6 The Universal Championship is headlining
The Universal Title has not had the best of times ever since it was created all the way back in 2016 as the new World Championship for Raw. From being vacated multiple times to not being seen on television for months on end, Raw's red title has become a joke for many WWE fans who see it as a placeholder title that will never bee as important as the WWE Title.
But for WWE the Universal Title could be a bit more important than you think, as it is pegged to close the show at Wrestlemania 35. Matches involving the Universal Title such as Brock Lensar vs The Rock to Braun Strowman vs Lesnar, most of the main events considered for the show of shows involves the Universal Title, and it would not be a shock seeing it main event another pay-per-view over the WWE Title once again.
#7 The heist of the century 2.0
Brock Lesnar 's rumoured opponents for Wrestlemania 35 range from the hottest star in the world The Rock to the biggest man on the roster Braun Strowman, but recent reports have indicated another superstar in line to face Lesnar at Wrestlemania; his name is Seth Rollins.
WWE planning to do Lesnar vs Rollins of all matches at the shows of shows is possibly the best option with regards to future of the company, and in the opinion of many this is the best choice for the main event of WrestleMania as Rollins and Lesnar have unfinished business since Rollins early days as the top heel in the WWE.
Rollins is WWE's best bet for the top babyface on Raw, as he has proved him himself to be a reliable babyface in the past when given the right storylines.
