5 WWE WrestleMania 35 rumors we hope aren't true

With the Royal Rumble behind us, and the Elimination Chamber around the corner, it's clear that we are truly on the road to WrestleMania 35.

Following huge Rumble victories by Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins, this year's show is shaping up to be a blockbuster, with Lynch taking on RAW Women's Champion 'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey, and Rollins hoping to be the one to topple Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.

But with WrestleMania mere weeks away, rumors are running rampant, as leaks, speculation and backstage sources continue to spill into the public.

And whilst this year's Showcase of the Immortals is already shaping up nicely, it's very easy for all this positivity to be derailed, especially if some of the rumors appearing turn out to be fact.

Here are five rumors for WrestleMania 35 we hope aren't true.

---

#5 Brock Lesnar retains

Lesnar successfully retained the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 34.

When Seth Rollins won the 2019 Men's Royal Rumble, it didn't take the Architect long to reveal that he will face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania.

Lesnar, who has had an iron grip over the title for the majority of the past two years, isn't popular with the fans, who loathe his sporadic appearances, so having the beloved Rollins take the title from him makes perfect sense right.

Well, fans may have to prepare to be disappointed, as there's still the possibility of the Beast retaining, much like he did last year against Roman Reigns.

Mania 34's match was planned to be the Big Dog's night, until the match was changed late in the game, something Lesnar isn't opposed to, as long as he comes out on top.

Hopefully, we don't get a repeat this year.

#4 Charlotte Flair in the main event

Fans quickly speculated after Lynch's Rumble victory, that Flair will be added to the title match.

One rumor many fans are hoping is true, is the prospect of Becky Lynch taking on Ronda Rousey in the true main event of WrestleMania 35.

Lynch has become one of WWE's most popular stars in recent months, so having her and the always-impressive Rousey close the show, would not only be fitting, but historic.

However, there may be a change in the near future, that sees Charlotte Flair added to the match.

Whilst many fans argue that Flair is only receiving this opportunity because of her last name (a foolish argument when you consider David Flair), fans do not want to see her enter the fray.

With Lynch suspended, and Flair showing more heel tendencies in recent weeks, a triple threat main event is seeming more likely every week.

#3 Cena vs. The Undertaker 2

Cena and the Phenom faced off at WrestleMania last year, with The Undertaker victorious.

Last year, the WWE finally got their big WrestleMania dream match, as John Cena battled The Undertaker on the biggest show of them all.

But what was once expected to be an epic show-down, ended up being little more than a squash, as the Deadman flattened Cena in minutes, to extend his record to 23-2.

With no matches currently announced for either man, many are speculating that a rematch between the two is in the cards, perhaps with the Chaingang leader hoping to avenge his lost the previous year.

A rematch could be entertaining, but probably would bore many fans, who weren't entertained in their first encounter, and certainly wouldn't be in their second.

If the WWE insist on having the Deadman and Cena compete, let's hope they find someone fresher.

#2 Cena eclipses the Nature Boy

Cena is already a 16-time World Champion, a record tied with Ric Flair.

If John Cena isn't to avenge his loss against The Undertaker, what else is there for him to do.

Well, one idea that has been floated around is Cena going up against Daniel Bryan, and possibly taking the WWE Championship from the former YES! Man.

If so, Cena would make history, becoming a 17-time World Champion, and knocking the Nature Boy Ric Flair to second place.

It's clear that Cena's legacy has already been immortalized, and having him win the gold would merely be taking a spot from a full-time Superstar such as Samoa Joe or Mustafa Ali.

Whilst Cena and Bryan have history, and have entertained in the past, having Cena win the title (presumably to lose it not long after) does no-one any favors, as fans would reject this Hot Potato.

#1 Shawn Michaels Vs. The Undertaker 3

The Phenom and Michaels at WrestleMania 25 in 2009.

At WrestleMania 25, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker competed in one of the greatest matches of all time.

An incredible tale of emotion and animosity, the bout was arguably out-done by their rematch a year later in 2010, which saw the Phenom end HBK's 25-year career.

Returning to the ring at Crown Jewel, many have wondered if Michaels will have a match at WrestleMania, with some theorizing that he will once again face the Deadman.

As much as I adored their first two Mania bouts (and believe me when I say I did), I'd hate to see a third.

Neither man is in his prime, and if their performances at Super Show-Down and Crown Jewel are what we go on, a third match between the two would only taint the legacy they left nearly a decade ago.
