It's time for the most exciting period of the wrestling calendar year to begin. We're officially on the road to WrestleMania, and things are looking promising. We seem to be coming to a conclusion of the part-timer dominance in WWE.

We're most likely going to get the first women's main event in WrestleMania history. And they aren't going to main event for the sake of main eventing. They'll main event because they have the biggest and most exciting match on the card with some of the most exciting stars.

Post-WrestleMania, we're very likely going to witness the beginning of a new era. We know that WWE tends to use the term a lot, but a lot of changes are genuinely set to happen this year as we approach a new decade in 2020.

WrestleMania 35 season is going to be a great ride and we hope that you enjoy it as it happens. However, there are a lot of rumours floating about with regards to the biggest stage of them all, and we list out five rumours that we hope are untrue!


#5. Ronda Rousey calling it quits after WrestleMania

Ronda Rousey isn't perfect. She may lack the mic skills of a top star, but it would be foolish to deny her importance and impact on the WWE Women's division in general. She rose to the top in her fourth televised bout, and it's understandable from WWE's point of view why.

The fact of the matter is, Ronda Rousey wants to start a family with her husband Travis Browne, and that alone makes her time in WWE limited. The company are in full understanding of this, and the rumour is that Rousey will put over Becky Lynch and leave for over a year minimum.

She likely would return in a part-time role, but even then, it's a shame in one aspect. Rousey has shown so much promise, improvement and potential that it's a shame that WWE can't fully capitalize on it. She has a solid heel run left in her and so much more. She's helped elevate the Women's division as a whole.

#4. Undertaker vs Finn Balor

Finn Balor hasn't had a bad few months when you look at the rest of his period on the main roster. He began to get pushed again, even if it was just because he was a replacement for Braun Strowman at Royal Rumble.

Rumours seem to suggest that Finn Balor may have been pencilled in for a match against The Undertaker. This would also be the debut of The Demon King at WrestleMania. It would be a marquee bout, a one that fans would definitely look forward to.

However, it's really time that The Undertaker stops showing up at WrestleMania. He's one of the two most iconic performers in the history of the grand event, but it's time and WWE can definitely afford to have a WrestleMania without him. After all, we weren't even sure if he would actually show up at WrestleMania 34 and he did - having a match for less than three minutes.

#3. John Cena facing Lars Sullivan

The rumours making the rounds was that John Cena was supposed to face Lars Sullivan at WrestleMania 35. For over a month, Sullivan was hyped up for a pending debut, and fans didn't know which brand it would take place on.

However, when he was supposed to debut in early July, he reportedly had an anxiety attack and was unable to go through. He was supposed to attack John Cena and set up a WrestleMania feud with him down the road.

However, it sadly seems too late for that to happen, unless they suddenly rush the story now. The likeliness of the match is getting lesser by the day, and it seems better that it stays that way.

Perhaps Sullivan can debut after WrestleMania when he's ready, and Cena can have a match with someone like Drew McIntyre - a star who could definitely use the rub.

#2. Roman Reigns congratulating Seth Rollins at WrestleMania

It's always great to see the brotherhood between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. After Reigns' tragic announcement, we know that he isn't set to return until 2020 (at the very least). In the meantime, WWE has chosen Seth Rollins to take his spot as the top babyface of the company, a decision that fans can certainly get behind.

The rumour is that Seth Rollins is set to dethrone Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35, successfully achieving what Roman Reigns fought hard to do. Also, it's believed that Reigns will come out to congratulate and endorse Rollins.

While it would undoubtedly be a feel-good moment, it's best that Reigns sits on the sidelines for this one. For one, it keeps the mystery behind his status alive and it also puts the individual focus on Rollins.

Seth Rollins has long been associated with Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. With Ambrose reportedly leaving, it's best that Rollins gets the moment all to himself.

#1. Charlotte Flair being added to the WrestleMania main event

This is a rumour that admittedly, will almost 100% be true. Charlotte Flair is rumoured to be added to the main event of WrestleMania alongside Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey. It makes sense that it'll happen because Rousey and Charlotte didn't have a proper finish to their SummerSlam match.

Moreover, Charlotte vs Rousey was the originally planned match anyway, it's just that Becky Lynch took the ball and ran with it. Even so, the TLC main event saw Rousey push the ladder with both Flair and Lynch on it.

It seemed evident then that they were going to do a Triple Threat, and with Becky Lynch's knee injury storyline, it's almost a guarantee.

However, we personally hope it doesn't happen, because Charlotte Flair doesn't need to be in the match. She's going to get pushed throughout her career anyway, and it's better off as a singles match
