The wrestling world was shocked and saddened this week when Roman Reigns documented his struggle with Leukaemia, a struggle that forced him to relinquish the Universal Championship Monday night on Raw and walk away from the company for an undisclosed amount of time.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
Roman Reigns was rumored to be main eventing his fifth consecutive WrestleMania next year alongside The Rock, but given the fact that Reigns return date is now up in the air, WWE will have to look at bigger options for what could be seen as the biggest match of the year.
Whilst this is a body blow for WWE just six months prior to the biggest event of the year, there are a plethora of options when it comes to relying on other matches to headline in New Jersey next April.
#5 The Rock vs Braun Strowman/Brock Lesnar
It has recently been noted that even though Roman Reigns probably won't be part of WrestleMania next year, WWE is still holding talks with The Rock in the hope that he will still be open to making a return.
The Rock is still the odds-on favorite to win the Royal Rumble match in January and go on to face the Universal Champion at WrestleMania.
Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman will collide at Crown Jewel to crown a new Champion after Reigns was forced to vacate the Championship and it's thought that the winner will go on to have a lengthy reign with that title.
This means that if The Rock can be talked into making a WWE return then he could face either Brock Lesnar or Braun Strowman in the WrestleMania main event.
Given the way the WWE Universe reacted to Lesnar at least year's show, it's likely that Braun Strowman could be the man standing opposite The Great One as part of next year's show.
#4 AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan - WWE Championship
AJ Styles is a master when it comes to slow burn feuds and even though he and Daniel Bryan are already feuding on SmackDown Live right now, the company could easily prolong this feud all the way to WrestleMania.
It could be argued that Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles are two of the best wrestlers in WWE right now and having two men that are full-time superstars and truly deserve the opportunity at the biggest event of the year, would be a nice change.
The WWE Championship has been overshadowed by the Universal title ever since the title debuted at SummerSlam back in 2016 and many fans have noticed the fact that the WWE Championship hasn't main evented a dual brand pay-per-view in more than a year.
The WWE Championship needs a WrestleMania main event to regain some credibility and it just so happens that Bryan and Styles are the perfect stars to take on that role.
#3 Triple H vs Batista
SmackDown 1000 was the success that WWE expected it to be, but the company never miss an opportunity to plant some seeds and the ones that were planted last week saw Batista seemingly hint that he will be returning to face The Game at WrestleMania 35.
This is a match that has been a long time coming and if WWE is unable to convince The Rock to make his return to the company then Batista will be their main box office draw.
Given that this could be Triple H's final WrestleMania appearance then this match could easily be built up as the WrestleMania main event that would see one of the men forced to leave WWE.
The WWE COO would then be able to concentrate on running the company from behind the cameras and the WWE Universe would be handed a fantastic gimmick match in the main event.
#2 Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose
Seth Rollins was the victim of quite an assault from his former teammate Dean Ambrose on Monday Night Raw, this was just hours after Roman Reigns announced that he would be forced to leave the company and The Shield behind and was then embraced by a visibly emotional Rollins.
This is a feud that the WWE Universe has been waiting for ever since Ambrose returned to the company back in August since the two men stole the show over and over again as part of their first feud back in 2014.
Given the fact that Roman Reigns can't claim his spot at WrestleMania next year, then it would be quite the story for his Shield teammates to take his place and steal the show as only they can.
Ambrose has never main evented WrestleMania and Rollins has only had the honor once so this would definitely be the fairytale replacement if WWE wanted to create one.
#1 Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair
Before there was talk of The Rock making his return to WrestleMania for the first time in three years, it was thought that the women of WWE would be making history at WrestleMania 35 by finally being gifted the main event.
More than three decades of WrestleMania's have come and gone and women have never been able to headline the annual extravaganza, until now.
Ronda Rousey's addition to the Women's Division has seemingly boosted the popularity of the women enough that the company has given the women their own pay-per-view and could now allow them to headline the biggest show of the year.
Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey are easily equipped enough to be able to take something like this in their stride, but whilst this would be one small decision for Vince McMahon it would be a huge step in terms of women's wrestling and the way it would be perceived.
