On the most recent edition of Raw, Roman Reigns shocked everyone when he announced that his Leukemia had returned.

Reigns then relinquished the Universal Title and re-united with his Shield brothers, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose on the stage and met several Superstars backstage before leaving the arena.

Even if Reigns manages to beat Leukemia once again, we won't be seeing him in the ring for at least a couple of years. Reigns' hiatus will entirely change the landscape of WWE.

Now, most of you must be aware that Roman Reigns was rumored to tie Hulk Hogan's record, of main eventing five Wrestlemania events in a row, at Wrestlemania 35.

Some of the plans that were being discussed were a showdown between The Rock and Roman Reigns, a Triple Threat match featuring members of The Shield etc. Reigns won't be a part of Wrestlemania 35 but as it's said, The Show Must Go On.

There are a few Wrestlemania 35 matches already being discussed but until last week, none of those matches were being considered to close the Show of Shows.

Now, some of the Superstars will have to step up and become a big enough draw to close Wrestlemania 35.

So without further ado, here are five Possible Main Events for Wrestlemania 35.

#5 A Multi-man match for the Universal Championship

Earlier Plans suggested Roman Reigns defending the Universal title against The Rock or his Shield brothers, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.

Now that Reigns has relinquished the Title, Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar will battle each other at WWE Crown Jewel for the vacant title.

If Lesnar wins, expect him to disappear until the Wrestlemania season. However if Strowman wins, he would most likely feud with Drew McIntyre for the next couple of months.

However, expect things to change next year when the road to Wrestlemania kicks off. With the recent heel turn of Dean Ambrose, he might have a big role to play at the Show of Shows.

Ambrose and Rollins will be feuding for the next few months so a singles match between the two at Wrestlemania 35 doesn't seem like a good idea as they would have faced each other on many occasions by that time.

So if the feud lasts till then, expect Rollins and Ambrose to be a part of a multi-man match for the Universal Championship, also including Braun Strowman and/or Brock Lesnar.

#4 The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan

Many people have regarded it as one of the best feuds of this decade. The Miz and Daniel Bryan have been feuding on and off for over eight years.

Their rivalry rekindled two years ago when The Miz snapped at Daniel Bryan during an edition of Smackdown Live Post-Show "Talking Smack". However, Bryan was retired at that time and there was no hope of seeing him return to the ring. The Miz was eventually drafted to Raw in 2017.

However, prayers do come true and Daniel Bryan got cleared to wrestle earlier this year. He also requested Shane McMahon and Paige to have The Miz drafted back to Smackdown Live.

The feud officially restarted after Extreme Rules and they faced off against each other in a variety of matches over the next three months before they moved on to other feuds.

It is rumored that the two might collide again at Wrestlemania 35 after The Miz wins the WWE title at some point and Bryan wins the Rumble (he is one of the favorites to win the Rumble next year).

If this rumour turns out to be true, the two should main event Wrestlemania 35. Their long-lasting and intense feud deserves it and both Superstars have main evented Wrestlemania events before so it wouldn't be something new for them.

#3 The Undertaker's Retirement Match

Although The Phenom never announced his retirement, it was speculated that he was done with in-ring action after Wrestlemania 33.

However, The Undertaker ended up returning to the ring in a dominant fashion at Wrestlemania 34 and has continued to appear sporadically throughout 2018. He is currently scheduled to team up with Kane to face Triple H and the returning Shawn Michaels.

If rumours are to be believed, The Undertaker will finally be retiring at Wrestlemania 35, following a Hall of Fame induction. There are several possible opponents for The Deadman to face at The Showcase of Immortals.

He could be retired by the man he retired nearly a decade ago, Shawn Michaels. However, there is another interesting idea.

The Undertaker was interested in facing Drew McIntyre at Summerslam 2018 but that didn't end up happening.

McIntyre is all set to break out as the Top Heel in a few months and what better way to start his monster push than retiring The Undertaker in the main event of Wrestlemania? It's fantasy booking as of now but this may end up happening.

#2 Shawn Michaels vs. AJ Styles

The Dream match everyone has been waiting for.

Shawn Michaels retired after losing a stellar Career vs. Streak match against The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 26.

For over eight years, Michaels refused any and every offer to come out of retirement until this year when he finally announced his return to the ring. Michaels is currently scheduled to team up with Triple H to take on The Brothers of Destruction at WWE Crown Jewel.

Luckily, Michaels' return isn't a one-off. Michaels is supposed to wrestle 5 matches over the next several months.

Countless "Dream" matches have been pitched to The Showstopper. One such match is Shawn Michaels vs. AJ Styles.

Although there's no doubt that both of these Superstars can bring the house down if they ever square off in the squared circle, WWE might feel hesitant about putting Styles in the main event. However, nobody will complain if the match does close the show.

#1 Batista vs. Triple H

Batista's 2014 run in WWE didn't go as he (or anyone of us) expected. Letting him win the Rumble just 6 days after returning to WWE followed by the departure of CM Punk caused the fans to immediately turn on The Animal.

There were rumors that his second run was supposed to last nearly two years with frequent breaks to promote his upcoming movies.

He wanted to end his run (and career) with a match against Triple H at Wrestlemania. However, Batista left in June 2014 and didn't return to WWE for over 4 years.

Not only the WWE Universe but also Batista was highly disappointed with how things played out.

Fast forward to Smackdown 1000. The entire Evolution re-united and Batista was given a hero's welcome.

All four members took turns in cutting promos. Batista ended his promo by telling everyone that Triple H had never beaten him in the ring.

The two had a stare-down before Ric Flair interrupted. It's safe to say that the seeds have been planted and we could be getting Batista's farewell match as early as Wrestlemania 35 as his next big venture "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3" got pushed back.

A Superstar as talented and successful as Batista deserves to main event Wrestlemania one last time.
