The whole world is talking about the greatest spectacle in sports entertainment, WrestleMania. This year's event will be brought to you live from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on April 7th, 2019. WWE is going out all out for this year's event, as the card is already shaping up to be an exciting show.

Right now, everything leads to the Show of Shows so let's hope WWE will give us another classic PPV. Seven matches are already confirmed for the event, and all championships will be defended at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch won their respective Rumble matches and they will be challenging for Raw's top prizes in their respective divisions.

As reported before, an astonishing 17 matches have been rumoured to take place at WrestleMania 35 and if that happens, this year's 'Mania could very well be the longest in WWE history. Here are the 10 WWE Superstars and their rumoured WrestleMania 35 opponent, according to Forbes.


#10 Bobby Lashley vs Finn Balor - IC Championship

A rematch for the IC Title?

Many fans were left frustrated on Raw when Finn Balor dropped his Intercontinental Championship back to Bobby Lashley, and fans even accused WWE of ruining the former Universal Champion. While that might be what it looks like, I believe WWE has a very good reason for making Balor drop the title back to Lashley.

As reported, Finn Balor is rumoured to show up at WrestleMania in his Demon King persona. The Demon has never lost a match on the main roster, so the reason why Balor lost the title was so that he could win it back at 'Mania as The Demon King.

It wouldn't be the same if he didn't lose the title, because then he would have to retain it and that wouldn't get the same reaction as him winning it back for the second time.

#9 Buddy Murphy vs Tony Nese/Cedric Alexander - Cruiserweight Championship

Current WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy will defend his title at WrestleMania against either Cedric Alexander or Tony Nese. A number one contender's tournament was created to find Murphy's next opponent.

Although his opponent is not confirmed yet, I believe it will be none other than Tony Nese. Unlike Nese, Cedric already had his taste of glory when he won the title at WrestleMania 34 last year. Although Cedric could still possibly be Murphy's opponent, Tony Nese deserves it more.

Nese is a great athlete and WWE will be making a huge mistake if Tony Nese doesn't successfully face and defeat Buddy Murphy at WrestleMania 35.


#8 Boss N Hug Connection vs Beth Phoenix and Natalya vs Nia Jax and Tamia vs The IIconics - WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

Sasha Banks and Bayley made history when they became the first ever WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. At Fastlane, they successfully defended their titles against the dominant team of Nia Jax and Tamina. After what we saw on Raw, Beth Phoenix and Natalya have united and it looks they too will be in contention for the titles.

We have two babyface teams and one heel team, but Forbes has reported that the match is going to be a multi-tag team match involving four teams, and that team will probably be none other than The IIconics. That evens it up to two babyface teams and two heel teams.

The Boss N Hug Connection said they'd defend the titles at SD Live and NXT too, so there is no doubt that The IIconics will be the fourth team. After all, they do deserve it.

#7 The Usos vs The Hardy Boyz vs. The Bar vs. Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev - SmackDown Tag Team Championship

The Usos are the first-ever 6-time SmackdDown Tag Team Champions. They are one of the most decorated tag teams in WWE history. On the latest episode of SmackDown Live, they laid a challenge to any tag team to face them at WrestleMania.

The Usos will defend their titles at the event, and it will probably be against The Hardy Boyz, The Bar, and Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev. According to reports, The Usos haven't re-signed with WWE, so they could possibly leave WWE after 'Mania.

It will be sad to see them go, but there is nothing left for them to do in WWE.


#6 Kurt Angle vs John Cena

Kurt Angle made an announcement on Raw that he will wrestle his last match at the Showcase of the Immortals this year. Many people have speculated as to who his opponent will be, and according to rumours, Kurt Angle's WrestleMania opponent will be none other than the 16-time world champion John Cena.

Angle was Cena's first opponent when the latter first arrived in WWE in 2002, and Cena could be Kurt's last opponent. These are two former WWE World Heavyweight Champions. One is already a WWE Hall of Famer and the other one is a future HOF'mer.

#5 Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre

Former Universal Champion Roman Reigns made his return to Raw last month and announced that he's in remission. The Big Dog reunited with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose as The Shield and they successfully defeated the team of Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre at Fastlane.

Dave Meltzer stated that Roman Reign's WrestleMania opponent would be former Raw General Manager-elect Baron Corbin, but after McIntyre decimated Reigns on Raw, it was clear that he will be Reigns' opponent instead.

Drew McIntyre is rumoured to face Roman Reigns at The Grandest Stage of Them All.


#4 Samoa Joe could defend his United States Championship in a multi-man match

Joe! Joe! Joe!

As reported, Samoa Joe was rumoured to face the Cenation Leader and 16-time World Champion John Cena at WrestleMania 35. The latest reports, however, state that the match will most likely not happen because John Cena could face Kurt Angle instead, so this leaves Samoa Joe without an opponent.

So who will Joe's opponent be? It could be possible, though not certain, that Joe could defend his title in a multi-man match at WrestleMania. Joe won the title in a fatal-4 way match on Smackdown.

The match could probably be a ladder match involving Joe, R-Truth, Rey Mysterio, Andrade, and Mustafa Ali could possibly be added too. It won't be the first (or the last) time that a mid-card title will be defended in a ladder match at the Show of Shows.

#3 The Revival vs Richochet and Aleister Black - Raw Tag Team Championships

Aleister Black and Ricochet are two of the biggest stars in NXT. They have been unstoppable since they made it to the main roster and they have put the Raw Tag Team Division on notice. The duo also won the Dusty Rhodes Classic.

It looks like they will get another shot at the Raw Tag Team titles when they face The Revival at WrestleMania. With how dominant they have been so far, it's safe to say that they could walk out of 'Mania carrying the belts.

That will undoubtedly be the greatest achievement in their career.


#2 Asuka vs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville - Smackdown Women's Championship

Current Smackdown Women's Champion Asuka was rumoured to defend her title against Lacey Evans at WrestleMania, but according to the latest reports, she could defend her title in a triple threat instead against Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.

Asuka successfully defended her title against Mandy Rose at Fastlane, but it was Sonya Deville who unintentionally cost Rose the match and the title. Deville took on Asuka on the latest edition of Smackdown Live but not even she could get the win over the champ.

Asuka should be victorious at WrestleMania against whomever she faces, as two WrestleMania losses in a row won't look good for her.

#1 Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan - WWE Championship

Whether it was just luck or destiny, WWE veteran Kofi Kingston is well on his way to becoming WWE Champion at WrestleMania 35, that is, if he manages to win the gauntlet match on Smackdown Live next week, which I promise you he will.

The New Day member is rumoured to face Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35. Kofi has had an amazing run in WWE. He has held the United States Championship, Intercontinental Championship and the (Raw and SmackDown) Tag Team Championships.

Kofi was unstoppable in his debut. He enjoyed a singles run and became a member of the widely popular and successful stable The New Day. No one was a fan of them at first, but now, the WWE Universe is behind them all the way.

The stable even hosted WrestleMania 33. But among the fan favourite stable, there was someone who stood out, someone who deserved better opportunities, someone who deserves to be world champion, and his name is Kofi Kingston.
