Widely regarded as the greatest WWE show of the year, the Road to WrestleMania 35 is bound to be one of the most highly-anticipated in recent memory.
While this year's extravaganza did disappoint on multiple levels, the creative team would be looking to right those wrongs and deliver something extremely incredible next year.
Looking at the current talent WWE possesses, there's no denying that the company must outshine themselves this time and make this WrestleMania, the most prestigious of all time.
With the Undertaker, Triple H, John Cena, and Shawn Michaels likely to feature in marquee matches next year, this could be an ideal opportunity for them to pass the torch to someone credible.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
The Grandest Stage of Them All is known for its high-octane action with a fine blend of entertainment, and if the company are able to mix both well this time around, then we could finally have a WrestleMania to remember.
So, without further ado, let's dive deep and analyze how next year's WrestleMania 35 could be like, with early predictions and an ultimate dream match-card.
#1 Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens (C) Vs. The Young Bucks for the Raw Tag-Team Championships
With Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, and Cody Rhodes rumored to make a solid transition next year to the WWE, this match seems like a definite possibility.
While Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have been sidelined with injuries, the duo could be returning back in time to make a blockbuster appearance at WrestleMania 35.
Considering that both these teams have squared off multiple times in Ring of Honor, bringing some of that craft to the Grandest Stage of Them All would be insane and a treat to the eyes.
WWE has certainly mishandled the entire tag-team division and the Young Bucks' inclusion to the frame will bring some legitimate rejuvenation to the flagship show.
Expecting a thrilling contest between the two won't be surprising. These two teams could tear the house down if provided with some creative freedom. Times are changing.
Early Prediction: The Young Bucks defeat Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens
#2 Brother Nero and Rey Mysterio (C) Vs. SAnitY for the SmackDown Live Tag Team Championships
The most logical way to utilise Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio would be to include them in bouts that assist in passing the torch to more upcoming superstars.
With SAnitY struggling to find their foot on the blue brand, colliding against a duo in Rey Mysterio and Brother Nero could be an ideal opportunity for the WWE to put the chaotic faction over at WrestleMania 35.
Both these teams share different dynamics between the ropes and could easily catapult the blue brand's credibility by delivering a solid encounter for the tag-team championships.
Adding some sort of speculation to the match would be an icing on the cake for the fans who will be glued to the edge of their seats for the entire bout.
While the company might not go the distance with this one, this encounter will certainly propel SAnitY to unimaginable heights, if they are indeed pushing the future.
Early Predictions: SAnitY defeats Brother Nero and Rey Mysterio
#3 Drew Mcintyre (C) Vs. Braun Strowman Vs. Bray Wyatt Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. The Demon King Vs. "American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes for the Intercontinental Championship
Judging by how Monday Night Raw has been booking segments on a weekly basis, the Intercontinental Championship's credibility is getting tarnished due to more emphasis on the Shield.
With WrestleMania 35 likely to feature a multi-man match, the company can utilize this opportunity to the fullest and book a solid six-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship.
Considering that Drew Mcintyre is destined for great things, he would likely win the Intercontinental Championship before the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Squaring off against multiple competitors is always a difficult task for the champion and this might certainly work in the benefit of a more agile and athletic superstar.
With Chris Jericho and Cody Rhodes also added to the mix to provide more star power, the Demon King's presence might make the difference to steal the Intercontinental Championship.
Early Predictions: The Demon King wins the Intercontinental Championship
#4 Andrade 'Cien' Almas (C) Vs. John Cena Vs. Samoa Joe Vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship
With John Cena's in-ring days becoming more limited due to his part-time schedule, his inclusion in the United States Championship could be incredibly beneficial for some upcoming sensations.
There's no denying that the creative team have under-utilized Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe, and Andrade 'Cien' Almas on the main roster, and with these superstars likely to receive a big push soon, the United States Championship could become prestigious again.
This fatal 4-way match could be a credible way for the Cenation Leader to pass the torch to Samoa Joe, with both superstars sharing a tremendous history together.
Blending different wrestling styles in a single bout for the United States Championship could bring some legitimate attention to the blue brand, with the Destroyer emerging out as a clear winner.
Early Predictions: Samoa Joe pins John Cena to win the United States Championship
#5 Dean Ambrose Vs. Kurt Angle in a No Holds Barred Match
With Kurt Angle stating multiple times on his dream to square off against Dean Ambrose someday, this encounter could see the light of the day at the Show of Shows.
While the Lunatic Fringe is rumoured to turn heel soon, the former WWE Champion needs some credible opponents to target before he hits the Road to WrestleMania 35.
Kurt Angle as the General Manager of Monday Night Raw stands as a legitimate opponent for a sadistic lunatic in Dean Ambrose for a match next year.
This bout certainly proves advantageous for both the superstars, with Ambrose getting more experience on the Grandest Stage of Them All after going head-to-head with an Icon.
Since WWE has not pushed Ambrose to reach his full potential within the squared circle, this could be an ideal time for the Lunatic Fringe to grab the brass ring and defeat the Olympic Gold Medalist at WrestleMania 35.
Early Predictions: Dean Ambrose defeats Kurt Angle
#6 Charlotte (C) Vs. Becky Lynch Vs. Asuka Vs. Nikki Cross for the SmackDown Live Women's Championship
If WWE is indeed serious about providing the equitable amount of freedom to the women's division, then they must certainly book this encounter at WrestleMania 35.
Since Charlotte and Becky Lynch have already solidified their position as top superstars on the blue brand, the company must divert their attention towards someone that deserves the spot.
Considering that the Royal Rumble 2019 could be an ideal platform to introduce more superstars on the main roster, Nikki Cross' introduction could take SmackDown Live by storm.
With Asuka also included in the encounter, these four female competitors could bring the house down at MetLife Stadium, possibly becoming the match of the night.
While Charlotte, Asuka, and Becky Lynch have all enjoyed some credible time on the main roster, it's time for Nikki Cross to embrace the madness and win the big one.
Early Predictions: Nikki Cross pins Charlotte to win the SmackDown Women's Championship
#7 Ronda Rousey (C) Vs. Cris Cyborg for the Raw Women's Championship with Stephanie McMahon as the Special Guest Referee
Ronda Rousey's meteoric rise in the world of professional wrestling has garnered more attention in the mainstream media, with many UFC fighters likely to make the golden transition.
While there's no superstar on Monday Night Raw that could stand toe-to-toe against the Rowdy One, bringing in someone like Cris Cyborg could be huge business for the WWE.
With the company being more concerned with business acknowledgements than professional wrestling, the creative team would likely push the idea to make the visual extravaganza even more appealing.
Both these female competitors share a tremendous history together and could certainly bring the house down, with Stephanie McMahon acting as the Special Guest Referee.
Considering that the Rowdy One would be champion for a long time, screwing her at WrestleMania 35 could be an ideal way to push the narrative ahead and put the title on Cris Cyborg.
Early Predictions: Cris Cyborg defeats Ronda Rousey after Stephanie McMahon screws the Rowdy One
#8 Triple H Vs. Randy Orton Vs. Batista in a No-Disqualification Match
Since SmackDown Live will celebrate its 1000 episodes this Tuesday night, the creative team could take this opportunity to book something truly exceptional for WrestleMania 35.
With Randy Orton, Batista, and Triple H acting as credible heels, the Viper could bring a more sadistic side to the Evolution's segment and challenge both the superstars to a final encounter at the Show of Shows.
Considering that these three share so much history together, clashing again at WrestleMania would be an incredible opportunity for the fans to see something special.
While Batista and Triple H enjoy part-time schedule, the company could utilize this opportunity to tell an engaging story, with Orton wanting to prove his worth as the greatest of all time.
This match could become a war at the Grandest Stage of Them All, with the Cerebral Assassin doing everything in his power to protect his throne.
Early Predictions : Triple H pins Batista to win the match
#9 The Undertaker Vs. Daniel Bryan in a Career Vs. Career Match
There's no denying that the Undertaker will go down in history as one of the greatest superstars to ever step foot inside the squared circle.
Despite entertaining generations through his supernatural act, the Phenom's days as an in-ring performer are becoming numbered and the company needs a classic retirement match for the former WWE Champion.
Considering that he's never faced Daniel Bryan, this feud could certainly ignite the blue brand with some terrific mainstream attention, with a Career Vs. Career stipulation added.
After clashing with John Cena, Rusev, and Triple H this year, the Undertaker needs a more agile competitor that could carry the match and deliver an outstanding performance.
Both the superstars could bring something magical between the ropes, with the Underdog doing everything in his power to defeat the Undertaker at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Early Predictions: Daniel Bryan defeats the Undertaker
#10 Seth Rollins Vs. Kenny Omega in an Extreme Rules Match
WWE definitely needs an encounter that caters to legions of their fans who are more inclined towards watching high-octane in-ring action rather than slow-paced bouts.
Enter Seth Rollins Vs. Kenny Omega. Considering that the company is doing everything in their power to bring the Cleaner to the WWE, Kenny Omega's arrival will certainly ascend him to the top of the mountain, with a possible clash with Seth Rollins.
With both superstars going back and forth on social media on a potential encounter soon, WrestleMania 35 stands as a genuine platform to give the fans what they deserve.
These two competitors are widely regarded as two of the greatest superstars that ever lived, and this bout will finally give the fans a chance to see something exceptional between the ropes.
Since Kenny Omega's arrival could mean good business for the WWE, defeating Seth Rollins could be the start of something beautiful on Monday Night Raw.
Early Predictions: Kenny Omega defeats Seth Rollins
#11 Roman Reigns (C) Vs. The Rock for the Universal Championship
Despite being vehemently criticized for pushing Roman Reigns as the face of the company, WWE continues to keep the Big Dog as the main focus on Monday Night Raw.
However, reliable sources have suggested that the Rock could be making a stellar return at the Royal Rumble and then challenge Roman Reigns to a match at WrestleMania 35.
Considering that this encounter is likely to involve the Universal Championship, Vince McMahon will do everything in his power to push this as the headline act.
There's no denying that the company could make good business with this feud but the fans seem to be reluctant about the entire scenario and might turn on this entire match.
These two superstars share good history together, and with the Great One returning to action, this will likely result in him defeating Roman Reigns for good.
Early Predictions: The Rock defeats Roman Reigns
#12 A.J. Styles (C) Vs. Shawn Michaels for the WWE Championship
After making a sensational return to the squared circle, the entire wrestling world is buzzing about the possible dream encounters Shawn Michaels could have before hanging up his boots for good.
While names like Johnny Gargano, Velveteen Dream, Finn Balor, and Daniel Bryan have been surfacing online, there's no superstar more credible than the Phenomenal One, A.J. Styles.
Since both the competitors were even scheduled to face each other once, HBK's refusal sidelined the dream match. However, his blockbuster return is definitely suggesting that something could still happen.
With the Phenomenal One likely to hold the WWE Championship for long, challenging the Show Stopper for a match at WrestleMania 35 seems like an ideal way to attain main event status in the company.
Both the superstars could deliver something exceptional here, with HBK ending up winning the WWE Championship and relinquishing it the next night.
Early Predictions: Shawn Michaels defeats A.J. Styles and relinquishes the WWE Championship the next night
