WrestleMania 35: 5 Title changes that should happen

Modified Mar 30, 2019 16:02 GMT

In many fans view, WrestleMania is the place where long term stories should be put to be, and big title changes should happen. After all, it is the biggest show of the year.

At New Japan Pro Wrestling's biggest show Wrestle Kingdom 13, every single title changed hands. And if you were going to do that this is definitely the show to do it on.

While this could be a good idea, I don't think every title should change hands. There are just too many titles in WWE at the moment to change all of the belts. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't have a few and maybe more than we usually get.

Some of these should definitely 100% happen, and some should but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if they didn't. But these are 5 title changes that should happen at WrestleMania 35.

#5 Rey Mysterio (US Championship)

Somehow Rey Mysterio seems to be at the best he has ever been, even though he is now 44 years of age.

His opponent Samoa Joe isn't the youngest person on the roster either. But like Rey, Joe has been doing some of the best stuff of his career and is now 40 years old. WWE decided not to put the WWE title on Joe last summer, to the sadness of myself and many other fans.

But with these two being so good, this match could really be a show stealer. While Joe retaining would not be the worst thing to happen, Rey winning the title for a feel-good moment and to celebrate with his son would just be a good moment. And it could lead to bigger things for Joe. Probably not, but a guy can dream, right?

#4 Finn Balor (IC Title)

While Bobby vs Finn won't be the best match, it really doesn't have to be.

Finn arriving in his facepaint, having a great 'Mania entrance and regaining the intercontinental championship in a short match is all it needs to be. WrestleMania doesn't have to be full of classic matches. A simple squash with the ever-popular Finn Balor winning the IC title would make for a good enough mania moment.

#3 Seth Rollins (Universal Title)

I love Brock Lesnar, and I think this is the one big match that Vince might swerve us all on and have Brock win. But as much as I love Brock, I think Raw needs that WWE Universal Championship belt back full time.

Seth feuding with people in the months after mania like Finn Balor, Drew McIntyre and maybe even Roman Reigns would for sure bring us good PPV matches every month. As for Brock, you could have him do his old thing and just come back for one or two big matches a year. For now, though, Seth should win the big one at 'Mania.

#2 Kofi Kingston (WWE Title)

Kofi Kingston has been a solid mid-card talent for over 10 years now. He was given a push in 2009 but was quickly put back into the mid-card of the company. Now is his time to be the WWE champion.

The crowd is behind him and with a great heel like Daniel Bryan on the opposite side of the ring, 'Mania 35 is the best time for Kofi. There is a chance the New Day could turn on him, but let's have that until after 'Mania and have a nice, fun moment on April 7th.

#1 Becky Lynch (Raw Women's Title)

It seems obvious now that Becky Lynch will prevail at WrestleMania to win the Raw Women's title and although it is expected and wanted, it needs to happen. No Vince Russo swerves here. Becky needs to win.

There could be a riot in New Jersey if Becky Lynch doesn't win the main event. After 'Mania, there will be a shakeup so Becky winning the belt wouldn't be the only way to get her on Raw full time but she needs to win.

She can feud with whoever after 'Mania, maybe Asuka if she is drafted to Raw but whatever happens after, WrestleMania needs that feel good babyface main event moment that we haven't had in 5 years.
