WrestleMania 35: 4 matches that could be confirmed in the coming week

This is the main event

WrestleMania is just one month away and we have two matches confirmed, Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship and Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair for the Raw Women's Championship. However, the latter could change in just a couple of days, with Charlotte facing Becky Lynch in a match which has major implications for the 'Mania title match.

The upcoming Fastlane pay-per-view looks likely to be a solid show and could be seen as the perfect building block towards WrestleMania, with certain angles on the show leading to a clear payoff at the Show of Shows.

The last few weeks have told certain stories that could lead to WrestleMania matches, whether or not they are going to be featured at Fastlane. The card for this year's 'Mania could end up being one of the most stacked in history.

With Fastlane soon getting out of the way, we can officially start the build to some of the major matches for WrestleMania during the next episodes of Raw and SmackDown. Here are four WrestleMania matches that could be confirmed by the end of the coming week's WWE programming.


#4 The Miz vs Shane McMahon

Who will turn on who?
Who will turn on who?

This match has been rumored for a while now, with this partnership preceding what would be kind of a predictable heel turn. The Miz and Shane McMahon formed an alliance based on wanting to make their fathers proud, with the pair eventually capturing the SmackDown Tag Team Championships from the Bar at Royal Rumble.

It was a genuinely heartwarming moment, one in good fun, and had a nice story. The Miz as a babyface this time around has been so much better than the last time he was one.

They lost the titles to the Usos at Elimination Chamber and will face them again in a rematch at Fastlane. It is widely expected that they would lose and then break up at the pay-per-view, but what we don't know is who will turn heel.

Miz turning would be more likely, but a Shane O'Mac heel run would be intriguing, to say the least. Whether it happens at Fastlane or two nights later on SmackDown, expect The Miz vs Shane McMahon to be made official for WrestleMania within the next five days.

#3 AJ Styles vs Randy Orton

Over the last couple of SmackDowns, Randy Orton has interrupted an AJ Styles interview by questioning his claims of building the blue brand. That is valid, considering Orton made his SmackDown debut in 2002, 14 years before Styles did.

These two could have a very interesting match, despite the fact that both of them have cooled down a little recently. The only thing that is likely keeping this match from being announced is Fastlane. Once that event has come and gone, expect things to get physical between the Viper and the Phenomenal One.

Styles has not exactly been that interesting this year, aside from that one time he punched Mr. McMahon. Orton also hasn't had much to do, besides hitting his RKO from outta nowhere.

That was exactly what happened at Elimination Chamber when Orton hit his famous finisher on Styles, who was on the ropes and ready to hit the Phenomenal Forearm. At WrestleMania though, we have to see that one moment. A flying AJ, looking for the forearm, getting caught with a beautiful RKO. It could be the best one yet.

#2 Triple H vs Batista

It's happening!
It's happening!

This is one of the biggest matches WWE could possibly book for WrestleMania 35. There is an inbuilt story from a decade ago as well as current elements. Batista called Triple H out for never beating him last year at SmackDown 1000, before getting ignored for four months.

He then proceeded to ruin the Game's hero, Ric Flair's 70th birthday party on Raw to get his attention. Earlier this week, Triple H cut a very real and emotional promo about what the previous week meant to him and how Batista ruined it.

We will get a face-to-face confrontation between the two legends on the coming episode of Raw. This would set up the clash for WrestleMania, and thus, further the build to one of the biggest marquee attractions of the year.

The Animal is now a full-blown movie star and is playing the heel role, one that he is most comfortable with. While the quality of the match might have some doubts, the build to this one could possibly be the best for a WrestleMania match this year.

#1 Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch (RAW Women's Championship)

The Man will save the day
The Man will save the day

The presumed main event of Fastlane will be Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair with the stipulation that if Becky wins, she is re-added to her rightful match for the Raw Women's Championship, and it becomes a triple threat main event at WrestleMania.

She will win on Sunday, otherwise, the fans in attendance will quite literally cause a riot. The story after the Man won the women's Royal Rumble match has been pretty complex and is likely to confuse some people, but it will all boil down to the triple threat at 'Mania.

The most recent turn this story took was Ronda Rousey's sudden heel turn and subsequent beatdown of Becky Lynch. This is exactly how Rousey should have been booked from much earlier, with a video of her somewhat burying the business going viral on social media.

It does not matter if this is a work or a shoot, WrestleMania must end with the Man victorious. It could come at the expense of Rowdy, or her longtime rival, Charlotte, but there is no other option besides ending the biggest show of the year with the biggest star in the company standing tall with the championship in hand.
