Wrestlemania is the biggest professional wrestling event of the year, or sports entertainment event, if you prefer. Whatever you might want to call it, it is the biggest event of the year for anyone associated with wrestling. And, Wrestlemania 33 was a damn good show, except for the main event. And, that can cripple a show's legacy.
The main event is what most people will remember big pay-per-views by and a bad main event can taint even the greatest of match cards. Wrestlemania 33 was a great event that got bumped down to just a good event because of the main event. Wrestlemania 32 was a decent event that got bumped down to terrible because of the main event.
It's not just a one-way street, of course. Great main events can help smooth over any other problems associated with the show. As such, the main event of Wrestlemania 34 could make or break the show.
So, without any further ado, let's get into our list of 10 Wrestlemania 34 main events that fans would love to see:
#10 Asuka vs Charlotte
With the rise of women's wrestling after the Women's Revolution, why is it so hard to fathom a Wrestlemania main event between two of the best from the WWE's women contingent? After all, Sasha Banks and Charlotte main event-ed Hell in a Cell inside the caged structure last year.
If there had to be a women's main event at Wrestlemania 34, it doesn't get much better than Asuka vs Charlotte. They are the two best female wrestlers on the WWE roster and it would make for a spectacular match.
#9 The Revival vs #DIY
I know, #DIY broke up, but let me dream, okay? Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano were a wonderful tag team and we could yet see them reunite when they make the jump to the main roster. Their opponents for this match? Who else other than The Revival - the team of Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder.
The four men have put on some tag team wrestling clinics in NXT, including their Two out of Three Falls match and they would be the perfect candidates to headline a tag team main event at Wrestlemania 34.
#8 Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe
We all know that Kurt Angle has one final WWE match left in him. So, why not give him the legendary send-off he deserves by main eventing Wrestlemania 34? The ideal opponent would be someone younger who can use the push of defeating The Olympic Gold Medalist and that man is Samoa Joe.
The two have already put on great matches in TNA so this is guaranteed to be a great match.
#7 Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn
Yes, it's happened a million times before but that doesn't mean it shouldn't happen again. After all, the matches between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are just that damn good.
Having the two former best friends main event Wrestlemania 34 for the WWE Championship would be a victory for all of indy wrestling.
#6 Brock Lesnar vs Shinsuke Nakamura
For those who haven't followed Brock Lesnar's time in New Japan Pro Wrestling, he was engaged in a pretty interesting angle with Shinsuke Nakamura back in the mid-noughties before embarking on his MMA career.
The chemistry between the two is undeniable and it would be amazing to see The King of Strong Style use his hard-hitting offence against someone like The Beast Incarnate. And to make things interesting, both have even had a tag team match together!
#5 Kenny Omega vs AJ Styles or Finn Balor or Shinsuke Nakamura
By the time January 2018 rolls around, we'll all be speculating as to whether Kenny Omega is on his way to the WWE or not. If The Cleaner does sign with the company, he is destined to be a main event star right off the bat.
Imagine Omega debuting and winning the Royal Rumble and going on to face one of his old buddies from New Japan Pro Wrestling in the form of AJ Styles, Finn Balor or Shinsuke Nakamura. That's instant money right there.
#4 Brock Lesnar vs Braun Strowman
Brock Lesnar vs Braun Strowman was scheduled to take place this year until an injury to the latter derailed those plans, but that might have been a blessing in disguise. With how dominant The Monster Among Men has looked, it would be a treat to see him main event Wrestlemania 34 against someone just as dominant in The Beast Incarnate.
#3 AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura
AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura have put on match of the year candidates at the biggest yearly event in New Japan Pro Wrestling – Wrestle Kingdom. So, having them replicate this on a WWE stage would be bigger and better.
Having the two square off at Wrestlemania 34 would be a professional wrestling treat. If you haven't seen their match at Wrestle Kingdom 10, go do so right now.
#2 Heel Roman Reigns vs Face Seth Rollins
Since the WWE seem hellbent on including Roman Reigns in the main event of Wrestlemania, it only makes sense that he has an entry on this list. Except, this entry is one that fans actually want to watch.
Turning Roman heel and pitting him against a babyface Seth Rollins would tick all the boxes for everyone involved and guarantee a main event for the ages.
#1 Finn Balor vs AJ Styles
The two most popular wrestlers in WWE today. The two former leaders of Bullet Club. The story writes itself and guarantees the best main event possible for Wrestlemania 34. Book it, Vince.
