WWE's biggest show of the year -- WrestleMania -- is set to take place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, next year, which was the site of WrestleMania 29, headlined by The Rock vs. John Cena rematch.
As of this writing, we're 11 months away from next year's WrestleMania, so it is way too early to predict how the card will look. But, if there's anything we've learned over the years, it's that WWE likes to stack the WrestleMania card with several big matches, as they want to make sure it ends up being what they say it is: the biggest, and most talked about show of the entire year.
So, with that in mind, here are five potential dream matches that could take place when WWE heads to MetLife Stadium next spring.
#5 - John Cena vs. Hulk Hogan
It seems pretty far-fetched that WWE would allow Hulk Hogan to wrestle again whenever they decide to bring him back. He's in his mid-60s now, and even though he's still in pretty good shape, he probably won't be able to do more than a 3 to 5-minute match.
However, John Cena vs. The Undertaker at last month's WrestleMania show was over in less than 3 minutes. Of course, that led to a portion of their audience being disappointed in the match, as it didn't live up to the hype.
Neither would Hogan vs. Cena at this point, but if they are going to do it, then the match needs to be short, and, if you're asking me, I'd have Hogan win.
#4 Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley
Even though Bobby Lashley never fought in the UFC, his MMA resume is pretty impressive, as he ended up with a professional record of 15-2 and ended his career on an 8-fight winning streak, with 7 of those wins coming via knockout or submission.
Aside from maybe Braun Strowman, Lashley is probably the only wrestler in WWE who people would take seriously in a feud with Lesnar. So, if Strowman isn't the guy to take down The Beast, then there's really only one guy for the job, and that is, of course, Bobby Lashley.
There's a chance that this match won't be able to happen at next year's WrestleMania, as Lesnar could end up leaving WWE for the UFC after SummerSlam. But, if Lesnar is still around for next year's show, then Lashley is the guy to book him against.
#3 Braun Strowman vs. The Undertaker
This match was heavily rumored for both WrestleMania 32 and 33, but it obviously never ended up happening.
As we saw back in April, The Undertaker, at this point in his life, probably isn't physically capable of pulling off an all-time classic match, no matter who the opponent is.
Luckily, if WWE books him against Braun Strowman at next year's WrestleMania, nobody will be expecting anything more than a 5-minute match, which would hopefully end with Strowman going over.
#2 Daniel Bryan vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
The Daniel Bryan vs. Shinsuke Nakamura dream match did take place during last week's SmackDown, however, it was in the dark segment, so it didn't air on television, and if it doesn't air on television, then it doesn't count in WWE's world.
I'm expecting Nakamura to win the WWE Championship from AJ Styles at some point in the near future, which will hopefully lead to him holding the title until next year's WrestleMania, where he'll be challenged by the Royal Rumble winner, Daniel Bryan.
Booking Daniel Bryan in a WWE Championship match against Shinsuke Nakamura at the biggest show of the year would probably prevent the hardcore fans from hijacking the show, because it'd be impossible for the fans to be disappointed in WWE's booking of Bryan.
And, of course, I'd have Bryan pick up the win.
#1 Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair
Rumor has it that WWE is not only looking to book this match for next year's WrestleMania, but they're also looking to have Flair vs. Rousey, which will presumably be a championship match, main event the show.
As of right now, Charlotte is on SmackDown Live, and Rousey is on Raw, so unless that changes at some point in the next year, the match will be brand vs. brand, and I actually wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being title vs. title, especially if it ends up being the show's main event.
