In recent years WWE has somewhat ruined solid WrestleMania’s by putting on poor main events that few people wanted to see. Last year at 33, Roman Reigns took on The Undertaker in the main event. While many people remember this match as simply the last match of one of the greatest WWE Superstar’s to ever grace the squared circle if you step back from the nostalgia. The match itself was average and nobody actually wanted to see Roman beat The Undertaker.
The year before at WrestleMania 32 Roman Reigns was once again involved vs Triple H. And while Triple H tried to save the match, the fans were simply not happy as they knew that Roman was winning. This caused the match and Roman to be booed by the majority of fans.
This is something WWE will not want to keep happening at the end of what is supposed to be their best PPV of the year. So, here are five WrestleMania 34 main events WWE could somewhat realistically put on which would not get booed by the fans.
#5 Samoa Joe vs Brock Lesnar
We have already seen a glimpse of what Brock and Joe can do together both in the ring and in promos and it was excellent.
Samoa Joe was the man to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title at Great Balls of Fire earlier this year. During the build-up to the match, Joe was fantastic. His promos were excellent. Especially the one where he whispered to Paul Heyman that he was going to choke him out so that he could tell Brock what it felt like. Also, during the build-up to the match, WWE made Joe feel like a real monster and a legitimate contender for the title.
Joe and WWE could easily repeat that formula in a build up towards a mania match with Brock. The Brock-Joe match is still something we have not seen much and it would certainly create some buzz at WrestleMania. Also, their first match was a bit short at GBOF. But if they were to put on a 20-minute match at Mania it would no doubt be one to remember.
#4 Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar
While Finn Balor has not exactly been pushed to the moon since returning from injury, there is no doubting he is an excellent wrestler. He also has a large fan following and never gets booed. Meaning that if he went up against Brock, fans would surely cheer for Balor as the underdog and boo Lesnar as the monster heel.
Getting fans to actually cheer faces and boo heels in WWE is becoming less and less common. But if Finn used his injury story as a way to gain sympathy and referenced his size and how nobody gave him a chance, people will get behind him even more and want him to beat "The Beast Incarnate".
Balor also missed last year’s WrestleMania which is something he could draw on in the build-up to facing Lesnar. We have also never seen Lesnar vs Balor meaning we would actually be getting a first time match in the main event of Mania.
#3 Braun Strowman vs Brock Lesnar
As with Samoa Joe, Brock Strowman has already happened. However, most people have faced each other in WWE currently. And given how dominant Strowman has been and how popular he has become, it only seems fair that he is the man to beat Brock and become the new beast of WWE.
Strowman is probably the most over man in WWE today. He is constantly doing new and exciting things that make fans love him more and more. The latest of which involved Strowman power slamming Kane through the ring on this past RAW.
This is just one of many things that have made Strowman so popular in WWE and if WWE book him right, he could be a huge star for years to come. One way of doing that is by having him and Brock Lesnar main event mania, have them absolutely destroy each other followed by Strowman's win. People would be very invested in the match as there’s nothing like watching two giant monsters destroy each other. Plus, if Strowman wins fans would actually cheer as they love him.
#2 John Cena vs AJ Styles
Now that AJ Styles is the WWE World Champion, there is a real possibility that SmackDown could main event mania as AJ Styles is not only the best wrestlers in the company. But he is also extremely over with the fans.
One opponent who could face Styles and have a great match is John Cena. Cena would be going for his record-breaking 17th WWE title which already makes this match a lot more interesting.
Plus, the two have already faced each other at the 2017 Royal Rumble. And what a match it was. They put on the match of the night and a match of the year candidate. So not only would you get a good story with Cena going for the title. You would also no doubt get a great wrestling match as Styles and Cena have already proven they can put on a real spectacle.
#1 Shinsuke Nakamura vs AJ Styles
If you are looking to put on a great wrestling match in terms of in-ring ability, there are no two better performers in WWE to do so than AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura.
Both Styles and Nakamura are renowned for putting on show stealing matches. As already mentioned AJ has done this on numerous occasions in WWE including vs Cena at the Royal Rumble. While Nakamura has been somewhat limited in WWE in terms of great matches. His debut match in NXT did show the WWE universe that he is an excellent in-ring competitor.
If Styles and Nakamura were to main event WrestleMania next year, the match certainly would not get booed just because of how could a wrestling match it would be.
The pair have already faced off outside of WWE and the match was excellent. However, we have yet to see it inside a WWE ring. The demand is also certainly there for this match as WWE teased it a bit at Money in the Bank earlier this year with the pair staring down each other. The crowd that night was very much into it and there’s no doubt if this match main evented WrestleMania it would be the best match on the card and it certainly wouldn’t get booed no matter who won.
