WWE's biggest show of the year, WrestleMania 37, is less than 24 hours away from us. Set to take place at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, across two nights, WrestleMania 37 will feature the return of live fans to the shows after over a year.
A total of 14 matches have been announced so far. The main event of Night One will see SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks defend her title against Bianca Belair. Night Two will be main-evented by Universal Champion Roman Reigns defending his title against Edge and Daniel Bryan in a triple threat match.
The rumor mill is at its best as we head into the two-night extravaganza. To get you ready for the pay-per-view, here are the top last-minute rumors for WrestleMania 37 that could end up having a major impact. Comment down and let us know your thoughts on the same.
#5 Becky Lynch rumored to return at WrestleMania 37
Over the last few days, speculations of Becky Lynch's status ahead of WrestleMania 37 have been at an all-time high. The former RAW Women's Champion has been on a hiatus following her pregnancy announcement last year. She gave birth to her and Seth Rollins' first child in December 2020 and fans can't wait to see Lynch back in a WWE ring.
On the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it was reported that there were plans for Becky Lynch to return at WrestleMania 37 and interrupt Bayley's talk show segment.
“If they add a Bayley talk segment to 'Mania, that would likely be Lynch’s return as the idea of her driving a big truck in at one of the two 'Mania shows during a Bayley talk show segment is something we were told was being planned at one point. That also explains Bayley seemingly not booked for the show after a year when she was women’s MVP.”
Lynch has even teased a return on Night One of WrestleMania 37 through a cryptic Instagram post. A recent report from Fightful also suggested that Becky Lynch could be back at WrestleMania and WWE is being secretive about her status.
#4 Could John Cena appear at WrestleMania 37?
One of the biggest WWE Superstars not booked for WrestleMania 37 this year is the 16-time world champion, John Cena. The Leader of Cenation has been a part of every WrestleMania since 2003 in some capacity and fans are expecting him to show up at WrestleMania 37 as well.
A recent report from Fightful revealed that while John Cena's WrestleMania 37 is unclear, wrestlers would be surprised if he didn't show up at the pay-per-view. Sportskeeda's Levi Grayshon wrote:
Things are still unclear in regards to seeing John Cena at Raymond James Stadium this weekend. Fightful has reported that any plans involving Cena would have had to be planned far in advance due to his busy schedule. However, it has also been reported that wrestlers who spoke to Fightful have said that they would be surprised if there was no involvement from Cena at the event.
John Cena last appeared for WWE at WrestleMania 36 where he took on 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt in the bizarre Firefly Fun House match. It was Wyatt who got the victory, taking revenge for his loss from WrestleMania 30.

#3 Major scrapped plans for WrestleMania 37 revealed
One of the major matches that won't be taking place on the WrestleMania 37 weekend is the traditional WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal. On the RAW before WrestleMania 37, WWE announced a Tag Team Turmoil match on Night One of The Show of Shows, with the winner going on to face the Women's Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler on Night Two.
However, WrestleVotes has revealed that the original WrestleMania 37 plans were very different. The idea was to have the Women's Battle Royal with the final two superstars becoming winners and teaming up on Night Two to face the Women's Tag Team Champions.
Original idea prior to the Women’s Tag Team Turmoil match being decided on was to have the annual Women’s Battle Royal where the final 2 would be “winners” & form a tag team the next night. Much like the WM 15 Battle Royal that Test & D’Lo won, then lost later to Owen & Jarrett.
Four teams were originally announced to compete in the Tag Team Turmoil match at WrestleMania 37 - The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan), Lana and Naomi, Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke, and Natalya and Tamina. However, on the final SmackDown before the pay-per-view, Carmella and Billie Kay were added as the fifth team.
#2 Brock Lesnar's WrestleMania 37 status
Another major name that the WWE Universe was expecting to see return at WrestleMania 37 is Brock Lesnar. Ever since his return in 2012, Lesnar has been a part of every edition of WrestleMania, even main-eventing a couple of them.
According to a report from Fightful, there are no plans for Lesnar to appear at WrestleMania 37. Sportskeeda's Levi Grayshon wrote:
Lesnar's absence will likely continue. According to Fightful, there have been no plans to feature Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 37. Their report stated that as of February, Lesnar had not been factored into WWE's plans.
Brock Lesnar's last WWE appearance was at WrestleMania 36 where he dropped the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre in the main event of Night Two of the pay-per-view. There were reports of WWE planning his return at SummerSlam 2020 but those plans were scrapped.
Last year, Brock Lesnar's WWE contract expired, much to the shock of the WWE Universe. There are no reports of The Beast Incarnate signing a new deal with WWE yet, however, the belief is that Vince McMahon would sign him back soon.
#1 Potential spoiler on the winner of the Universal Championship match at WrestleMania 37
The main event of Night Two of WrestleMania 37 will see Universal Champion Roman Reigns defend his title against Edge and Daniel Bryan. In what is sure to be a blockbuster match, the WWE Universe is finding it difficult to predict who could walk out of WrestleMania 37 with the Universal title around their waist.
A recent report has now revealed potential spoilers for the match, revealing that Edge is likely going to win the WrestleMania 37 main event. Sportskeeda's Shiven Sachdeva wrote:
Multiple title changes can be expected at WrestleMania 37. The report stated that Edge will likely win the Universal Championship match. It was also suggested that all current champions will be the underdogs at WrestleMania in terms of their chances to win, except the Intercontinental Champion Big E.
Edge won the 2021 men's Royal Rumble match earlier this year. After teasing going after the WWE title and even the NXT title, Edge attacked Roman Reigns at WWE Fastlane 2021, officially choosing to face him at WrestleMania 37. The Night Two of WrestleMania 37 where Edge will challenge for the Universal Championship, will take place exactly ten years after The Rated-R Superstar was forced to announce his retirement on RAW in 2011.
Could Edge overcome the odds and dethrone Roman Reigns as the new Universal Champion?
