The WWE are just days away from the biggest show of the year and, on paper, the card looks to be one of the strongest that WWE have produced in years, and while fans aren't invested in the entire card, it's got something to get everyone excited.
The WWE's roster is currently ridiculously stacked, and while they tend to go into a lull after WrestleMania, with some exciting and fresh matches, they could avoid that this year, and head into Summerslam, Survivor Series and the move to Fox with a great deal of momentum.
But today, we aren't going to look at WrestleMania, we are going to look past it, into the future to see some great matches that could potentially await us. So without further ado, read along as we look to the future and predict 5 fresh and exciting rivalries that we would love to see in the WWE following hopefully the big success that is WrestleMania 35.
#5 Ricochet vs. Finn Balor
These two men teamed up on RAW during The One and Only's debut on the main roster, and given how incredibly gifted and athletic both men are, a PPV match between them would blow the roof off.
The WWE's mid-card needs definite help, so breaking up the pairing of Ricochet and Aleister Black gives both RAW and Smackdown much needed depth with two stars, and there's no better way to start The Future of Flight's singles career than against Finn Balor.
The two would put on absolute classic bouts, akin to the ones that used to be waged over the Intercontinental Championship, and it would show that indeed Ricochet does have an incredibly bright future.
Ultimately, The Demon is a main event player, and the WWE need to get him back to that, but if they slowly build him up through great matches like this one, he could be a big star by the time WrestleMania 36 rolls around.
#4 The Usos vs. The Revival
While these 4 men have stood on opposite sides of the ring before, it's never been a traditional tag team match, and if they were given the time, they'd prove why tag team wrestling is truly so special.
Both are currently reigning as champions on their respective brands, but the WWE can't keep these two ultra-talented teams away from each other for much longer, and a build to this bout at Summerslam could steal the show.
The WWE have seemingly made tag team wrestling a priority over the past few months (despite the fact that neither have an announced bout at WrestleMania 35 yet), and letting these two teams go at it would be proof of that.
It's unlikely to happen as one of them would need to lose their titles soon after WrestleMania, but one day down the line, this will be money for the WWE.
#3 Samoa Joe vs. Aleister Black
Samoa Joe is one of the best all-around performers in the WWE today, and despite his tough challenge of Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania, he has the chance to make the United States title special again.
Ever since John Cena's US Open Challenge from 3 years ago, the title has struggled to find a place in the WWE, but with so many potential opponents for Joe, he has the chance to do something great.
As mentioned, there are so many potential opponents for Joe, from Mustafa Ali (sorry, just Ali) to John Cena himself and even rising stars like Andrade, but the best option right now is Aleister Black.
We've already talked about Ricochet, and it's safe to say that both men are better off as singles stars, and this would be a great clash of former NXT Champions, one that would be worthy of main eventing any show in the WWE.
#2 Charlotte vs. Ember Moon
Whether you like to admit it or not, Charlotte is arguably the greatest women's performer in WWE history, despite being less than 6 years into her career, and it's easy to see why the WWE push her so strongly.
On the other hand, a performer like Ember Moon has all the tools in the world to get to Charlotte's level, and once she returns from the injury, the WWE need to book her wisely, because she is a main event player just waiting to happen.
We've seen them collide in the Money in the Bank match, but that's about it, and if the WWE can build this one up, it would be a classic on the level of Asuka vs. Charlotte or even Becky vs. Charlotte. WrestleMania has us awaiting a lot of answers regarding the Smackdown Women's Title, but if Moon can be drafted to the Blue Brand, this could be a key rivalry in building the show once it moves to Fox in October.
#1 Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles
As far as in-ring work goes, these are two of the best in the WWE and indeed the world right now, and if Seth Rollins does indeed secure the Universal Championship at WrestleMania, Styles as his first challenger would be amazing.
They've faced off and even been on the same side throughout their WWE tenures, but a true rivalry between two greats has never quite happened, and while it means one may have to change brands, it's definitely worth it.
Neither are exactly excelling in the character department, but the WWE care strongly about both men, and when you put them in the ring and allow their work to tell a story, fans will be invested.
This one is probably worthy of being a WrestleMania rivalry, but the WWE can't save all their good rivalries for the biggest stage, and considering they need good content heading into their Fox deal, this is one we could see carrying the torch.
