5 potential main events for WWE WrestleMania 37

WrestleMania is the SuperBowl of sports entertainment, and WWE's biggest event of the year. For almost four decades, WrestleMania has provided fans with some of WWE's most magical moments.

Owing to the coronavirus pandemic, WrestleMania 36 was held indoors in an empty arena without a live audience. WWE hopes that WrestleMania 37 won't follow suit. If the situation improves to a considerable degree, a live crowd would be in attendance for WrestleMania 37.

As of the time of writing, WrestleMania 37 is still planned to emanate from the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The event is currently being advertised as "WrestleMania Hollywood." It will take place on March 28, 2021.

Although it is too soon to predict the main event of next year's WrestleMania accurately, there are several blockbuster matches that WWE could book for WrestleMania 37. With countless intriguing storylines, there's no telling what's going to happen on the long Road to WrestleMania.

#5 Edge versus Randy Orton for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania

Edge and Randy Orton worked a classic at Backlash.

The Legend Killer defeated The Rated-R Superstar three months ago at Backlash during what WWE called the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever. Edge suffered a triceps injury during the encounter. Randy Orton also took out his enemy's best friend, Christian, the night after Backlash. A couple of weeks later, The Ultimate Opportunist delivered a stern warning to Orton that he would make the latter's miserable upon his return from injury.

The Viper is currently embroiled in a feud with the WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre. Even though Orton failed to capture the title at SummerSlam, he has a decent chance of winning the WWE Championship at Clash of Champions. If Orton wins the WWE Championship, a future WWE title clash with Edge at WrestleMania 37 is almost inevitable.

Edge and Orton's rivalry is far from finished. A rubber match between the two rivals would be massive and befitting of a stage like WrestleMania. Adding the WWE Championship to the mix makes the matter more intriguing. The Rated-R Superstar returned from a massive lay-off for one last good run; it would be a huge WrestleMania moment if Edge wins the WWE Championship at next year's WrestleMania.

#4 Sasha Banks versus Bayley for the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania

Bayley and Sasha Banks were best friends.

Sasha Banks and Bayley are two of the oddest frenemies the WWE Universe has ever seen. The Boss 'n' Hug Connection has been teasing dissension for more than a year now; however, WWE kept stalling the inevitable for too long. But when Bayley heinous assaulted Sasha Banks last week, the wait was worth it as WWE finally set the stage for a colossal dream match at WrestleMania 37. Banks versus Bayley is a strong contender for headlining WrestleMania next year.

The SmackDown Women's Champion "used" The Boss. Bayley showed absolutely no compassion or regard for her best friend. Banks was temporarily written off television, but she will return for vengeance. WWE may choose to do the match before WrestleMania, but waiting until WrestleMania 37 would be a better option.

Bayley versus Sasha Banks is the biggest dream match WWE could book for the women, and it deserves to close out WrestleMania. The Boss has been eagerly waiting for her moment, which could come true at next year's WrestleMania if she battles her former best friend, Bayley.

#3 Bobby Lashley versus Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania

Fans have wanted to see this for a long time!

A month ago, reports emerged indicating that Brock Lesnar was done with WWE, but that seems unlikely now as the two sides are expected to reach an agreement. If Lesnar re-signs, he will have a match at WrestleMania 37. There is only one opponent who could burn down Suplex City and stun The Beast: Bobby Lashley.

The Almighty Bobby Lashley versus The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar is one of those dream matches that fans play in video games. A real-life matchup between these two titans could be a WrestleMania headliner. Lashley has expressed interest in facing Lesnar; he returned to WWE a couple of years ago intending to collide with The Beast.

Surprisingly, WWE hasn't done this match before, especially considering the opportunities they had to book it. It won't be a technical classic, but it would be a fast-paced brawl between two ruthless beasts. There are very few legitimate dream matches left for Lesnar; an encounter with Lashley under the bright lights of WrestleMania is one of them. Brock Lesnar versus Bobby Lashley is a strong candidate for the main event of WrestleMania 37.

#2 Drew McIntyre versus Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania

Brock Lesnar and Drew McIntyre collided in the main event of WrestleMania 36 in an empty arena. McIntyre emerged victorious to win his first WWE Championship. It was a fast-paced, back and forth thriller that saw each man execute multiple finishing maneuvers.

However, owing to the pandemic, the match took place without a live crowd in attendance. It was the most significant moment of the Scottish Psychopath's career. An audience would have made it even better, but it wasn't meant to be. Given that McIntyre had amassed such a huge fan-following in the buildup to WrestleMania 36, he would have received a thunderous ovation upon victory. Luckily, WWE has another chance to set things right, and WrestleMania 37 provides the perfect platform.

Even though doing a standard rematch between the same competitors has proven counter-productive in the past, McIntyre and Lesnar deserve to compete against each other in front of a sold-out stadium. WWE did plan on doing a rematch at SummerSlam, but Lesnar wasn't willing to compete. This leaves the door open for a match between the two rivals at next year's WrestleMania. It may not be original, but Lesnar versus McIntyre II at WrestleMania 37 would be best for business.

#1 Roman Reigns versus The Rock for Universal Championship at WrestleMania

Roman Reigns versus The Rock is a dream match for many.

One of the hottest stories in WWE right now is Roman Reigns' heel turn and subsequent partnership with Paul Heyman. The Big Dog won his second Universal Championship at Payback in a Triple Threat match against Braun Strowman and The Fiend. Reigns is expected to have a lengthy title reign, at least holding the title till WrestleMania. His first challenger will be his real-life cousin, Jey Uso.

It seems as if this feud is either a placeholder or a prelude to something much greater. Either way, barring a minor miracle, the chances of Jey Uso winning are slim to none. If this program is serving as a prelude, Reigns may have to deal with the most electrifying man in all of sports-entertainment: The Rock.

There are several indicators that point towards a colossal dream match between Roman Reigns and The Rock. First, Reigns' recent antics have made him a deplorable and despicable figure. Given the classic hero-villain dynamic WWE likes to follow, WWE may be looking to bring a mega babyface into the fore at WrestleMania. The Rock could fill in that place.

Secondly, WrestleMania takes place in Hollywood next year, which is basically The Rock's second home. Lastly, WWE wants Reigns to become a massive heel and wants him to gain some serious heat. Defeating The Rock would be a great way to accomplish that feat.
