Although we’re still a ways from the event, the match card for WrestleMania 35 is already taking shape. There have been a number of news reports regarding the top matches for this event which include the possibility of some high-powered star appearances (read “The Rock”). Those who avidly follow the WWE are on the edge of their seats, hoping for any piece of information as to the actual lineup. In any case, now is the time to get your tickets for this incredible event.
Some possibilities include:
- Brock Lesnar, once again the Universal Champion, has signed a new deal that runs through WrestleMania 35 and will likely see him defend the title there for the second straight year.
- The Rock has been linked to potential 'Mania matches against both Bobby Lashley and Elias. The new betting favorite for the WrestleMania 35 is now The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar.
- Shane McMahon is now in the midst of a long-term storyline that will result in him turning heel and having a huge WrestleMania 35 match, though it isn't clear who his opponent would be.
- Shawn Michaels is reportedly "likely" to wrestle again and has been linked to potential WrestleMania 35 matches with AJ Styles or Daniel Bryan.
Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch has also been considered as a potential main event for the show.
However the card ends up, you’re guaranteed a show that you’ll never forget. Considering WWE’s current lucrative appearance and television deals, it’s more than likely that the venues will become a major draw for a number of part-time stars to appear in WWE storylines. Those who have had the opportunity to attend previous WrestleMania events can attest to the fact that this is one of the biggest events in history and definitely not to be missed.
