We are only just a week away from the 'Grandest Stage of Them All' and there is a lot of intrigue surrounding the match card. As it stands, we are promised to have a huge huge match card for WrestleMania 35, and you can check them all here. The WrestleMania card as it stands is jam-packed and will probably be the longest WrestleMania ever. A lot of these matches certainly have the potential to deliver and let's hope they will.

Matches like Randy Orton vs AJ Styles and Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre are all guaranteed to be classic if they are booked correctly and are allotted the correct amount of time. The three big championship matches are the main ones that certainly need to deliver the right results. The build-up to all three has been intriguing, to say the least. Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston has been masterfully executed, with a lot of real elements added into it.

Watching the whole storyline come full circle for Daniel Bryan especially, has definitely made this a must-watch at WrestleMania 35. Kofi definitely deserves to have his moment. Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar have had little to build towards their match, with the exception of the night after the Royal Rumble and a few promos between Paul Heyman and Seth. The promos from both of these men have added only a little fuel to the fire, although Seth appears to be trying to add some emotions, as seen in his promo last week.

Paul Heyman just shows up to spout his usual shtick and promote his "client" in the same way. Brock's long absences and Heyman's repetitive promos have almost killed this feud. Seth doesn't have a lot of momentum heading into the match, but let's hope he still manages to get the win. The rivalry between Ronda, Becky and Charlotte started incredibly decent but soon turned into a convoluted mess. The amount of things that have happened in this storyline has left many people confused. This has caused the rivalry to lose a lot of steam before the big event.

One of the problems that have ruined it is overexposure of all the three women involved, as well as the constant addition of people like Charlotte and the McMahons into the storyline. Becky Lynch having a kayfabe knee injury, getting arrested and being suspended twice was certainly overkill. It certainly proves how bad WWE Creatives can book storylines. WWE has built all three of them up at the same time with such big hype and fan followings behind them that if any of them lost, the crowd may riot or boo for the rest of the night.

Think about it, tempers are already going to be high with lots of fans being exhausted, with these three matches probably going on near the end of the night. Sitting through seven hours or more of wrestling is no easy task and surely management would want to keep the fans happy, without looking like they are pandering them. WWE has the potential to deliver a good final product on Sunday at WrestleMania. We know that WWE has booked themselves into a corner with these 3 big matches.

It has been rumored that not all three fan favorites will walk out of Wrestlemania as the winner. While that speculation is more than likely true, what if WWE did let the three of them win? Neither Seth, Becky or Kofi are really in a position where they could lose and the crowd would be ok with it. If the company could pull off some smart booking decisions and have all three top babyfaces win, then the crowd would feel a lot happier and they'll know that the company is listening to them. It wouldn't look too much like pandering if the company was able to present a logical narrative and finish to each of the matches.

Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar doesn't need to have Seth beat Brock by himself. The crowd wouldn't care in the least if somebody helped him win, due to how much the audience being tired of Brock holding the title hostage. In the main event, Ronda Rousey also could be protected if they let Becky pin Charlotte to win the Raw Women's Championship. It would set up a future one-on-one encounter between Becky and Ronda at some point down the line. They could even look to unity both Women's Championships or have Becky win whichever championship that the person she pins is holding.

The WWE Championship is a bit of a different story. Vince could place more obstacles in Kofi's path by adding a stipulation, which Kofi overcomes. They could have Kofi beat Bryan clean without anything happening, which would be special for Kofi but wouldn't further his narrative. Maybe Kofi could win and then have Big E turn heel on Kofi after the match and level him. Perhaps Kevin Owens comes out after the match and flattens Kofi after he wins, turning heel in the process. Either way, there are many different things that could be done to allow fans to be happy and further storylines after WrestleMania, without coming across as pandering.
