WrestleMania 35 is now in the rear view mirror, and overall, it was a great show, but now we look forward to WrestleMania 36 from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. It may be a long time away, but with the rosters the way they are right now, we can start piecing together some dream matches for the big show, and while some of these may not happen, WWE would be smart to at least consider them.

Obviously the WrestleMania card is going to be 2-3 times longer than this, we'll get to a full predictions/dream booking articles closer to the date, but for now, thinking of some matches that could happen is always fun.

So without further ado, sit back and read along as we take a look to 2020 and WrestleMania 36 and give 6 matches that we'd love to see at the 36th edition of the Showcase of the Immortals.


#6 Buddy Murphy vs. Ali

This match has happened several times when both men featured on 205 Live, and given how amazing each and every encounter was, it makes sense for them to face off on the Grandest stage of them All.

This time however, this contest should be for the coveted Intercontinental Championship, as Smackdown Live aims for a more 'sport' feel, two of the best wrestlers in the world bringing the prestige of that title back makes too much sense.

We've yet to see Murphy compete on Smackdown Live, but Ali has been making a name for himself for the past year, and if the booking is right, this is one that would undoubtedly steal the show. Putting someone like Andrade in this spot would make sense too, but given their past and the quality of all their bouts, this one would be perfect to open WrestleMania 36, and we'd love to see it.

#5 Asuka vs. Ember Moon

Asuka and Ember Moon had one of the greatest rivalries in NXT history, and now that both women are on Smackdown Live, it's only a matter of time until they battle for the Smackdown Women's Championship.

Obviously this will require a lot of rebuilding of the Asuka character after what happened with Charlotte in the lead up to WrestleMania 35, but if she can again become the unstoppable star she was in NXT, this would be a great bout.

We'll get to the other big women's match we'd like to see later, but given the talent that both of these ladies have, this match would be worthy of keeping until the biggest show of the year. After their encounter in the Women's Royal Rumble, WWE must know the electricity that this bout would bring, and it's just too perfect for the company not to book.

#4 Roman Reigns vs. Finn Balor

Despite the fact that Roman Reigns wasn't involved in a big title match at WrestleMania 35, he's still the companies biggest priority, and it wouldn't surprise anyone if he entered WrestleMania 36 as the WWE Champion.

While there are plenty of great opponents for him on Smackdown Live, the one that makes the most sense is The Demon, Finn Balor, who's already defeated The Big Dog several times.

While Balor might not get the support that Kofi Kingston had heading into WrestleMania 35, he's a big fan favourite, and if the WWE continue to book The Demon character well, this could have a big fight feel.

Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns would also be a possibility as a big time match at WrestleMania, but we'll get to Bryan later, so Balor vs. Reigns makes the most sense here, and if booked properly, it will showcase that WWE do indeed have some superstars in this generation.

#3 NXT Four Horsewomen vs. MMA Four Horsewomen

This is a match that WWE have been building since the first ever Mae Young Classic, and despite Ronda Rousey taking some time off recently, she'll definitely come back for this one. Many people thought it could happen this year, but Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir weren't quite ready, but with another year down in NXT, they'll be firing alongside Baszler and Rousey.

There will have to be quite a good story to bring this one together, as Becky and Charlotte are enemies right now, and Sasha's future is up in the air, but for a WrestleMania match of this caliber, WWE could make this happen.

While it's unlikely to be the main event, this could be one of the biggest women's matches of all time, and if it's done right, it could be an epic clash of two fantastic factions that have led the way in the women's revolu

#2 Daniel Bryan vs. Seth Rollins

Heading into WrestleMania 35, Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan were both in career best form heading into their respective title matches, and at WrestleMania 36, it's time they have a huge singles bout. They've faced off several times in the past before, but nothing on this scale, and while it would mean Bryan would have to move to RAW, it would be worth it for this huge match.

It's unlikely that Seth still has the Universal Championship by this time, as Drew McIntyre will be hot on his heels, but if WrestleMania finally becomes about the best matches, this would be one of them.

The two are arguably the best heel and babyface in the company right now, and with the right story, this would be absolutely incredible, and it's a dream match that needs to happen before both men hang it up (or Bryan's injuries become too much for him to handle).

#1 Matt Riddle vs. Brock Lesnar

Matt Riddle has been eyeing this match for quite some time now, and now that The Beast is reportedly back with WWE, this could be a fantastic final bout in his career. Most people will hate the idea of Brock Lesnar back in WWE, but most of his matches over the past year have been fantastic, and with a rising star like Matt Riddle opposing him, this could potentially be his best.

The Original Bro has been talking about retiring Brock Lesnar since the moment he stepped into the professional wrestling business, and in his short time with NXT, he's proven to be an amazing wrestler with the true 'it factor'.

WWE would have to promote Matt Riddle by Survivor Series if this one were to happen, but the former UFC star is so great that he could be in the main event immediately, and if this match were to happen, WWE would strap the rocket to him straight away.
