With Survivor Series just around the corner, WWE could be preparing to book some of their top feuds to boost the ratings and viewership before 2019 hits us with WrestleMania 35.

The Road to WrestleMania is always an exciting time for the fans to watch their favorite superstars go head-to-head in marquee encounters and entertain them throughout.

However, this year's Show of Shows could see some legitimate changes in the main-event picture after Roman Reigns' addressed his unfortunate battle with Leukemia.

Considering that the rumored plan was for the Big Dog to square off against the Rock, Roman's absence might bring some alterations in the creative team's plans for the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Since the Great One's return does bring some significant viewership and ratings to television, the company must be looking for a bonafide superstar to clash with the former WWE Champion in the main-event of WrestleMania 35.

Here are the 5 biggest main-event matches WWE could book for the Rock at WrestleMania 35.


#1 The Rock Vs. A.J. Styles Vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship

If there's any feud the Rock would be interested in doing for WrestleMania 35, it would be the one that allows him to be protected throughout and tell a beautiful story.

While the Great One has clashed with John Cena two times, the intervention of A.J. Styles in this bout for the WWE Championship could be colossal from a business stand-point.

There's no denying that the Rock and John Cena cannot be involved in high profile fast-paced encounters at the Grandest Stage of Them All, and the fact that the Phenomenal One can carry them to a classic could be a significant component in booking this match.

Now, despite getting into the conclusions and how WWE should book this feud, colliding these three main-event icons for the most coveted prize in sports entertainment could be reason enough for us to be excited.

A.J. Styles has already had a terrific feud with John Cena, and while he did mention the Rock in one of his segments with Cena, this could be an appropriate time for the company to book this match at the main event of WrestleMania.

#2 The Rock Vs. Triple H

Will this interest the Great One?

At this point, WWE definitely needs a marquee encounter to hype WrestleMania 35 in advance, and while the Big Dog's absence will hinder them, reigniting the Rock Vs. Triple H could prove beneficial.

Since the Game has always been interested in working one more match with the Rock, the Great One's involvement in this marquee feud could make things more interesting.

With both superstars having enough box-office pull, Vince McMahon could book this encounter for the main event of the Grandest Stage of Them All.

There's no denying that the company lacks a superstar with a presence and booking similar to Roman Reigns, and therefore could rely on more nostalgic storylines to sell this year's event.

Both the icons have garnered tremendous respect from the fans throughout the years, and bringing them together under one roof for one last time could make things a lot more exciting and compelling.

#3 The Rock Vs. Braun Strowman for the Universal Championship

Will the Monster defeat the Rock?
Will the Monster defeat the Rock?

Roman Reigns' heartbreaking exit from the WWE has certainly vacated the top spot on WWE's flagship show and his possible headliner with the Great One seems difficult now.

The Lunatic Fringe's vicious heel turn has brought some legitimate alterations on Monday Night Raw and could change the complexion of the business, if booked creatively.

However, if there's any active Superstar on Monday Night Raw that deserves a one-on-one showdown with the Rock at WrestleMania, it is the Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman.

The monster's meteoric rise on the red brand seemed like a calculative risk in the beginning but has paid off very well, with Strowman becoming a fan favorite and looks set to win the Universal Championship at Crown Jewel.

Since WWE loves big guys, they could have a genuine main-event caliber feud with this one. While the fans would despise the idea of the Great One winning the Royal Rumble, judging by how things have transpired in the previous gimmick matches, we can't rule this one out too.

The Rock Vs. Braun Strowman can be treated like a modern era Hulk Hogan Vs. Andre The Giant, and considering that the company needs a headliner, this could very well be a good match for the Rock.

#4 The Rock Vs. Batista

This is now or never
This is now or never

Despite sharing the same ring together in 2004, we are yet to witness any sort of feud between the Rock and Batista.

It's a damn shame that both the superstars have never engaged in any personal rivalry on T.V., and with the Animal teasing a blockbuster clash with Triple H, a potential match with the Great One remains an afterthought.

However, looking at how Batista's return panned out last time around in 2014, it definitely feels like he deserves another go at the main event of WrestleMania 35.

There's no denying that he never got a rematch for the WWE Championship, and judging by his star-power, his collision with the Rock could certainly garner some mainstream buzz.

Since the Animal's return certainly seems on the cards, booking something between the two could fulfill our wrestling dream of seeing the two collide for probably, the only-time ever.

#5 The Rock Vs. Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship

It is time
It is time

While I might be despised in abundance for saying this, there's no superstar that has a legitimate chance of facing the Rock than the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar.

Despite his part-time schedule, Brock Lesnar's pull is extraordinary, and he is a major box-office attraction for shows like WrestleMania 35.

Considering that there is history between the two, with the Suplex City machine destroying the Rock at SummerSlam 2002 to win the WWE Championship, the Great One never returned for a rematch.

Bringing the former WWE Champion back to the frame for one more match could be enticing enough for the fans to be invested in, and while both the superstars follow a part-time schedule, this WrestleMania 35 main event smells like money.

Vince McMahon might be looking for someone to fill that huge spot vacated due to the Big Dog's absence, and booking a solid SummerSlam 2002 rematch at the Show of Shows could be a legitimate money-spinner.
