There has been a lot of discussion and speculation regarding John Cena's WrestleMania 35 status. The fact is that John Cena is in New York as he was present at the WWE Hall of Fame on Saturday night. He also revealed in an interview just a few days ago that even if he's not in a match, he will be at WrestleMania.

Many expected Cena to be Kurt Angle's opponent in his final match in the WWE, but WWE chose Baron Corbin instead.

Recent reports indicated that Cena will confront someone and possibly have a match with that Superstar. Angle himself revealed in the build-up to WrestleMania that Cena will have a match at The Show of Shows, this year: “I love John and I know that he will have a WrestleMania match. I’m not sure if they’ve announced it yet, but I’m almost positive he’s gonna be there.

Cena wrestled The Undertaker in a squash match at WrestleMania 34, last year.

#2 Bray Wyatt return

Bray Wyatt hasn't been seen on WWE television for several months, despite him being injury-free. The former leader of the Wyatt Family seems to have no storyline on RAW and has hence been kept away from the WWE.

But recent reports have indicated that Wyatt is ready to return to the ring with WWE having new plans for him.

Could that be at WrestleMania 35? We're not sure yet.

Post Wrestling's John Pollock reports that WWE are going to make big changes to Wyatt's character and that they will start airing vignettes of him soon. He could make a big impact if he does surprise everyone with a WrestleMania return.

Pollock also states that Sami Zayn, who has been out since having shoulder surgery, will also return soon, maybe even as soon as next week.

#3 Rey Mysterio injury status

One WrestleMania 35 match that could have been canceled or changed is the United States title match between Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio, after Mysterio suffered an injury on the RAW go-home show, in a match against Baron Corbin.

The veteran WWE star suffered an ankle injury in that match and many feared that that match may not happen at WrestleMania 35.

But Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reports that Mysterio is cleared to wrestle, as per his sources in the WWE.

Mysterio will now face Joe at WrestleMania 35 and win his first title in the WWE since his return to the company last year. Joe defended his US title at Fastlane against Andrade, R-Truth and Mysterio in the last PPV before WrestleMania 35.

#4 Favorites to win

Becky Lynch

WrestleMania 35 is to feature several big matches. The headlining match between Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar facing off for the Universal title, and Kofi Kingston's WrestleMania moment as he faces off against Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship, are the three big matches of the night.

And it seems that the odds favor all three babyfaces as Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins, and Kofi Kingston are all set to win, according to the odds.

Triple H, who has put his career on the line in his match against Batista, will win, according to the odds, while Roman Reigns' first singles match since his return from his illness against Drew McIntyre will see him come out victorious.

Finn Balor is set to bring back The Demon when he faces Bobby Lashley for the Intercontinental Championship and the Irishman is the favorite to win it back once again, while recent main roster call-ups Aleister Black and Ricochet are tipped to win their first title in the fatal four-way tag team match for the SmackDown Tag Team titles.

#5 Conor McGregor at WrestleMania 35

Conor McGregor and WWE's relationship seems like a love-hate relationship - WWE loves him, but McGregor hates them. That's what we may have at least learned from McGregor's past comments about the WWE.

But WWE seem to be still very keen on signing the former MMA star, who recently announced his retirement from the sport.

Stephanie McMahon spoke about McGregor and another ex-sports star who has been linked with a switch to the WWE, Rob Gronkowski.

“I’d love to have Gronk in the ring. I’d love to have Conor McGregor – huge personality. There’s a number of different women I’ve had my eyes on as well. So it’s really about bringing in the biggest personalities with the best athletic ability – whoever can entertain and connect to our audience," said Stephanie in an interview with TMZ.

McGregor appearing at WrestleMania 35 would be a huge surprise but it is quite uncertain at the moment.

The odds seem to not indicate much as they are currently even odds for him to appear at WrestleMania 35. But considering an Irish Superstar could win the final match of the night, we could maybe see McGregor come out to congratulate Lynch.
