Wrestlemania is approaching and if anything is lukewarm, then it is the build towards it this year. The WWE Universe can already predict the main event of the show in 2018 -- Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns. The outcome of the main event is also a no-brainer -- The Big Dog slays The Beast to become the King of the Jungle.
Putting the top prize of the flagship show around the waist of someone whose every appearance in RAW has to be promoted as 'The Beast is back' has drawn a lot of criticism.
But, imagine how adverse the situation will be when Roman Reigns beats him for the title at WrestleMania. Given how hard he works and the number of good matches he has put in the last couple of years, it'll be really hard for him to face continuous heat and yet assume to be the 'face' of the company.
While this match looks set in stone, let's discuss the possibility of the five rivalries, WWE can make everyone feel interested about and how they can initiate.
#5 Kevin Owens vs Triple H
The animosity between Owens and Shane McMahon is red hot right now and things are only going to get uglier with him not making it to the Blue team for Survivor Series. WWE should capitalise on this and let the bad blood continue. Owens can try running riot in the show in an effort to disobey the authority figure.
Triple H could then enter the picture to help keep law and order in place by trying to make truce; but Owens, being Owens, attacks and injures him when he least expects. And, who better to teach Owens what authority means that the King of Kings himself!
Triple H appeared recently in the Smackdown Live show in Chile and fought Rusev. So, him appearing in the blue brand as a babyface will not be out of the blue. This will be a fresh rivalry and additionally, the verbal fight between these two will be equally enjoyable.
#4 Kurt Angle vs Shane McMahon
What about a rematch of their classic in 2001 KOTR between Raw GM Kurt Angle and SmackDown commissioner Shane McMahon? The seed has already been placed during the Raw invasion. I would have preferred Daniel Bryan in place of Shane O'Mac, but I do not see that happening in WWE anytime soon.
The brutality and intensity of the 2001 match can't be expected in 2017, owing to the age of the Superstars and also the current PG Era obligations. But, I hope Angle will be allowed to take some major bumps and fight as freely as possible.
That, along with Shane's appetite for high-risk manoeuvres, we are bound to get some classic Wrestlemania moment with a dose of Nostalgia.
#3 AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura
Styles vs Nakamura is the Dream match everyone has been waiting for since the time both joined the main roster. With the way Nakamura has been handled till now in the main roster, he desperately needs a major feud in WrestleMania to stay over with the fans.
Styles should beat Mahal in the Rumble or the previous PPV and stay Champion through the course to Mania. WWE must let Nakamura win the Rumble match which will certainly give Nakamura the push and credibility, he deserves. This will set up the match at WrestleMania, which has every potential to go on to become the Match of the Year.
On a different note, I hope WWE decides to give Nakamura a manager as soon as possible.
#2 Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe
The Olympic Hero comes into the list once again. If he doesn't get a match with Shane Mcmahon, this is the next best thing WWE can get him involved in. If you have watched the matches between Angle and Joe in TNA, you know the reason already.
The angle can be started by having an angry Joe complaining about not getting his one on one rematch with Brock Lesnar and turning on Angle.
WrestleMania would have been the perfect stage for Angle's in-ring come back, but unfortunate circumstances forced Vince McMahon to play the Angle card earlier than desired. So, what would have been a big box office draw for WrestleMania, has already been wasted in a B grade PPV.
Every time Kurt steps into the ring, he will draw numbers for WWE. By pitting him against Joe and letting them have one last dance on the "Grandest Stage of Them All" will definitely draw big crowds.
#1 Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns
This match looks set to be the main event next year at WrestleMania. So, instead of discussing how uninteresting the feud will be (much like the Lesnar vs Goldberg III match last year, where everyone knew the outcome) let's see how WWE can save the outcome from being booed and make the match interesting.
Firstly, The Shield must not break up. Roman should ask his partners not to get involved in the match as he wants to win it by himself. However, The Shield should anyway interfere in the match and then when everyone would expect them to turn on Reigns, they could attack Lesnar and triple team him to help The Big Dog to win.
Reigns turning heel in the WrestleMania Main event will definitely be something no one would see coming.
This way the WWE can protect Lesnar, in case he decides to renew his contract. You give the WWE Universe what they want, you get what you want, and everybody wins in the end. And that will be Best for Business!
