WrestleMania 35 is scheduled to take place on April 7, 2019. The Showcase of the Immortals seems like its going to be a spectacular one this year. The title matches announced have aroused a lot of interest. This is the first WrestleMania that is built around the women's title.

Additionally, Brock Lesnar, the biggest superstar in the company, faces the Men's Royal Rumble winner Seth Rollins. Rollins is one of the best technical wrestlers in WWE as of late. The match should have a perfect blend of strength and agility.

Rumours have been going around that Lesnar would successfully defend the universal title but anything may still happen. Last year, rumours also floated that Reigns would defeat Lesnar when the duo met at WrestleMania 34, but that didn't take place.

Thus, this match would also have suspense. Nevertheless, a win wouldn't mean much to both these superstars. Seth Rollins is already a well-established individual in the company and Brock Lesnar is a surefire Hall of Famer. The match would only further cement their legacy.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

One of these three alternative universal title matches would've added a lot more expectations to the match as it would've possessed more meaning and purpose than this match.


#3 Brock Lesnar vs The Demon King Finn Balor

Finn Balor gave Brock Lesnar one of his best matches at Royal Rumble 2019. The WWE universe was left intrigued by that match. One of the reasons why this feud must have continued after Royal Rumble was the fact that it had more potential for development.

Most importantly, the feud promised an exciting climax. Finn Balor bringing his Demon King against Brock Lesnar would've been a fitting climax for the feud. Supernatural characters in WWE are decreasing more and more as days progress.

Brock Lesnar has a certain myth about him. The Beast Incarnate captured the WWE championship at the age of 25. He was literally untouchable in the initial days of his career. Even in the twilight of his career, Lesnar seems like a complete monster.

Breaking The Undertaker's undefeated streak and defeating John Cena in a squash match makes him look credible in the latter half of his career. He also was the longest reigning universal champion in the history of WWE. So much has been done to build his myth.

However, no much has been made of the Irish Demon in WWE. He hasn't done anything significant except winning the inaugural universal title.

The inaugural universal title winner Finn Balor vs the longest reigning champion Brock Lesnar looks like a credible WrestleMania match.

Finn Balor's Demon King vs Brock Lesnar would've been a mind-blowing encounter at WrestleMania. It would've even been more electrifying than his current clash against Bobby Lashley.

#2 Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins

It would've been huge for Finn Balor if he had been booked to defeat Brock Lesnar using the Demon King at the Royal Rumble itself. At WrestleMania, the Beast Incarnate vs the returning Roman Reigns would've been a good option.

In such a scenario, Men's Royal Rumble winner Seth Rollins would go on to face the Demon King at WrestleMania. Both these superstars were involved in the inaugural universal championship clash at SummerSlam 2016.

The match was such a classic that it was the show-stealer of the night. Unfortunately, the very next night, Finn Balor had to vacate the universal title due to an injury he sustained in that match. WWE had been hesitant about giving too much spotlight to Balor since then.

However, after returning from injury, Balor had been consistent. He is the best technical wrestler on the show along with Seth Rollins. Both these athletes providing a technical showcase for the universal title at WrestleMania would've been so exciting to watch.

#1 Brock Lesnar vs Drew Mcintyre

Drew Mcintyre looks like a whole different individual ever since returning to WWE. He left the company as a mid-carder and came back as a potential main event caliber star. Drew Mcintyre is one of those superstars whom Vince McMahon likes the most.

WWE should've seriously pulled the trigger on the chosen one at WrestleMania 35. The Scottish Psychopath defeating Brock Lesnar would've been a defining moment in his career. It wouldn't have been so hard to build him as a face going into WrestleMania.

It would have even been apt for Mcintyre if he entered the Showcase of the Immortals as a tweener. After all, an anti-hero would receive loud ovations while facing a nuclear heel like Brock Lesnar. Mcintyre's match against Reigns looks like an interesting one.

However, it wouldn't do much for his career. It looks so obvious that Reigns would win the match. In that case, Mcintyre vs Brock Lesnar would've been best for the business. WWE really missed an opportunity to crown a fresh champion.
