We are just weeks away from WWE's marquee show of the year, WrestleMania 35, and the card is beginning to shape up nicely. Recent rumors have indicated that this year's WrestleMania could be the longest in WWE history, with as many as 17 matches set to take place on April 8, 2019.

So far, six matches have been confirmed for the show, which includes the two huge matches - Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship, and a triple threat match for the RAW Women's Championship featuring Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair.

On this week's WWE RAW, which will be the third last one before WrestleMania 35, there will be a host matches that could possibly be confirmed for the show. Let's take a look at the WrestleMania 35 matches that could be confirmed on this week's WWE RAW:


#1 Kurt Angle's final WWE match

Kurt Angle announced on last week's WWE RAW that this year's WrestleMania will see him compete for the last time in the ring. Angle did not announce whom he will face in his final match in WWE, but following last week's RAW, he teased a few Superstars whom he could face.

Angle dropped a few names for his final match - John Cena, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, and Baron Corbin. With Styles set to face Randy Orton at WrestleMania 35, and Samoa Joe possibly defending his United States Championship, that rules those two out.

The most likely candidate to face Angle at WrestleMania 35 is John Cena, who had his very first televised match against Angle. Following Angle's announcement, Cena himself posted a photo of Angle on his Instagram, teasing a match for WrestleMania.

There were rumours doing the rounds a few days ago that Roman Reigns may not feature on this week's WWE RAW. Reigns received a beating at the hands of Drew McIntyre last week, which resulted in him not able to take part in his first singles match since his return from illness.

The Big Dog still doesn't have an opponent for WrestleMania 35, and most believe that Drew McIntyre will be his opponent at The Show of Shows, next month.

McIntyre could perhaps ask the McMahons to give him an opportunity to face Reigns at WrestleMania 35, and if Reigns is not in the building, perhaps Rollins or Ambrose could accept McIntyre's challenge on behalf of Reigns.

#3 Women's Tag Team title match

At Elimination Chamber earlier this year, Sasha Banks and Bayley became the first-ever women's tag team champions, when they defeated 5 other teams to win the belts.

Nia Jax and Tamina were their opponents at Fastlane, but the Boss and Hug connection prevailed once again, but the storyline had an interesting twist as Natalya and Beth Phoenix seemingly added themselves to the match. A huge show like WrestleMania needs big-name legends, and Beth Phoenix ticks that box.

Perhaps their entry into the women's tag team title race could see another set of legends, Lita and Trish Stratus, whom Banks and Bayley have wanted to face for a long time, could also be added.

Beth Phoenix is set to appear on this week's RAW and we could see this match also confirmed for WrestleMania 35.
