Who will change the Game?
Who will change the Game?

Vince McMahon, through his sharp business acumen and creative genius, has successfully managed to ascend an empire with the WWE in this illustrious world of professional wrestling. The Chairman of the Board has emerged as the most significant personality in this industry with his creativity laying foundations to incredibly thrilling ideas and notions.

One of them is the greatest spectacle in sports entertainment, WrestleMania. Vince through his vision has been able to embark legions of crazy WWE fans on his 'WrestleMania' bandwagon. Considering that the company has continued to evolve throughout the years, this year's WrestleMania 35 would see three of the most proficient female competitors in the world closing the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Regardless of the astonishing creations pulled off by the creative genius in Mr. McMahon, one cannot deny that it is Triple H's NXT where the future of this company truly resides. The Cerebral Assassin is a pivotal component in altering the entire complexion of the business we all so dearly love.

His 'attention-to-detail' ideology has worked wonders for the superstars down in NXT and while most of them might have not achieved the same fame under Vince's experiential supervision, there's no denying that The Game will eventually 'takeover' this place for good. Judging by how this year's WrestleMania's card has filled up, many WWE fans are predicting WrestleMania 35 to eventually become one of the greatest events in the company's history, if not the greatest.

While many WWE superstars have been organically impelled to chase glory, others are still struggling to find their footing heading on this turbulent Road to WrestleMania 35. Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE Universal Championship and Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's Championship are the two prominent bouts scheduled to headline this year's extravaganza.

However, WrestleMania 34's creative debacle has led the fans to keep their expectations low for this one. On the other side, the fans are always invested in what transpires down in NXT, with Triple H telling some of the most emotionally enticing tales blended with fine athletic prowess. Therefore, if the 14-time World Champion is provided with a golden opportunity to book the biggest event of the year, then this year's WrestleMania would have shaped up to become even more intriguing and spellbinding.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep into our illusionary yet hopeful wrestling world and predict how Triple H would have booked WrestleMania 35.


#1 Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal

Who will emerge victorious?
Who will emerge victorious?

It's rather disappointing that the previous winners of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal have gone nowhere on the main roster despite offering such promise. Superstars like Cesaro, Baron Corbin, and Mojo Rawley have struggled to find their footing under Vince McMahon's supervision which only makes this match nothing more than a filler.

Considering that a bout of this stature could literally get someone introduced to the world, Triple H could have effectively utilized the opportunity by propelling someone from NXT. Since a superstar like Lars Sullivan was slated to make headlines with his debut, it would have been a more fulfilling opportunity to push the envelope with him in front of a deafening 70,000 fans.

Prediction: Lars Sullivan eliminates Bobby Lashley


#2 WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal

Who would win this?
Who would win this?

Last year's anticlimactic battle royal saw Naomi eventually dethroning Bayley to become the first recipient of the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal. Despite the fact that the bout faced a huge backlash from the fans due to its initial name, there's no denying that the company could use matches of this quality to solidify or rejuvenate someone's career.

Superstars like Ruby Riott who has constantly struggled to make a name for herself on the main roster could benefit by winning a bout like this in front of an entertained audience. Moreover, if The Game decides to introduce someone in splendid fashion, he could have used this bout to throw the spotlight on someone like Lacey Evans.

It's understandable that the company wants to propel Evans to the very top of the industry and hijacking someone else's spotlight would have brought nuclear heat to her.

Prediction: Lacey Evans wins

#3 DIY vs. The Revival vs. The Hardy Boyz vs. The Usos vs. The New Day vs. The Bar in a TLC match for the Unified Tag-Team Championships

Will this steal the show?
Will this steal the show?

While a lot of the fans might feel skeptical about this space of the article, the unification of tag-team Championships on both the brands feels like an absolute necessity now. There's no denying that the creative team haven't done anything clinical to bring notice to the tag-team division and with the lack of storylines on the main roster, the division is suffering.

Considering that Triple H has always believed in breaking boundaries whilst promoting an old-school philosophy of wrestling, he would have delivered a banger here with this one.

Six of the most compelling teams on both brands fighting for the same prize in a Ladder match with the newly introduced unified belts hoisted above the ring.

Since the WrestleMania X-Seven triple-threat tag-team tandem remains the greatest TLC match of all time, these six forces could have kept the fans at the edge of their seats whilst blending in-ring prowess with beautiful character interactions.

How Triple H would have booked - DIY wins the Unified Tag-Team Championships


#4 Pete Dunne vs. Buddy Murphy - Champion vs. Champion Match (Winner takes all)

Bruiserweight Vs. Cruiserweight
Bruiserweight Vs. Cruiserweight

With WWE continuing to expand it's territory in different markets all over the globe, showcasing two international performers colliding on the Grandest Stage of Them All would have been epic. Both Pete Dunne and Buddy Murphy are pivotal members of their respective brands and a tussle between the two could have been effectively presented by The Game.

Considering how much Triple H admires Dunne's work as the NXT United Kingdom Champion, outmatching Murphy on the biggest stage of the year would have cemented Dunne as one of the greatest UK performers in the company's history.

Furthermore, a loss here would have led to Murphy being drafted to the main roster. 'Cruiserweight Vs. The Bruiserweight' would have been enough to sell this bout, with both the performers laying it all to keep the audiences entertained.

Since WrestleMania gravitates so many viewers, efficient display of the NXT's UK brand as well as 205 Live would have helped the company to bring more eyes to their product.

Prediction: Pete Dunne walks out with both the titles

#5 Sasha Banks and Bayley (C) vs. Io Shirai and Kairi Sane for the WWE Women's Tag-Team Championships

This could be a classic
This could be a classic

Sasha Banks and Bayley made history when they outmatched five other tag-teams to become the very first WWE Women's Tag Team Champions at Elimination Chamber 2019. Considering that WWE is heavily engaging in ascending women's wrestling, The Cerebral Assassin's adulation for Banks and Bayley would have coerced his creative genius to book a blockbuster bout at WrestleMania 35.

While Trish Stratus and Lita were rumored to slug it out with the Champions, The Game's willingness to put his best foot forward could have coerced him to book a show-stealing bout between Boss N' Hug Connection and The Sky Pirates.

Both Io Shirai and Kairi Sane are incredibly versatile between the ropes and could have told a compelling story with Banks and Bayley in front of a deafening audience in New Jersey. It's understandable that Triple H would want to deliver bouts of the highest in-ring quality and this would have been an absolute banger.

Moreover, this bout could have been clinically used to introduce two female competitors from the most talked about force in the women's division to set-up a feud in the future.

Prediction: Banks and Bayley retain in a fantastic match. Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke interfere post-match and destroy the Champions.


#6 Aleister Black (C) Vs. 'King' Ricochet for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

Will Ricochet fade to black?
Will Ricochet fade to black?

Aleister Black and Ricochet are undoubtedly two of the greatest in-ring performers of this generation. Both the superstars jumped the ship from NXT to the main roster and have been justifying their brilliance every single week.

While Vince McMahon is catapulting them to the top as a tag-team force, Hunter would have pushed them as singles competitors on the main roster.

Considering that both of them have held prestigious titles in NXT, seeing them colliding for the Intercontinental Championship would have been excellent.

The offensive striking of Black Vs. the athletic prowess of Ricochet would have kept the fans wanting for more from the two, with The One and Only eventually escaping Black's unconvincing strike.

The in-ring quality alone would have brought respect to the Intercontinental Championship whilst propelling Ricochet as the next big thing on the main roster.

Prediction: Ricochet wins the Intercontinental Championship

#7 Kurt Angle vs. John Cena vs. Velveteen Dream

Will Angle retire with a win?
Will Angle retire with a win?

With Kurt Angle now all set to have his farewell match at the Show of Shows, one wonders who will tussle it out with the Olympic Gold Medalist before he finally calls it a day? While names like John Cena and Shelton Benjamin have emerged as strong contenders, the former WWE Champion has endorsed the idea of wrestling a more younger competitor at the event.

Since the match could be presented as an Open Challenge for anyone willing to prove themselves, John Cena and Velveteen Dream could answer the call to an outstanding reception. Considering that The Cenation Leader has already tipped Dream to be the next big thing, this is the right match for him to steal the spotlight from two established performers in front of a shocked crowd in New Jersey.

Dream's inclusion would certainly add the charisma and the in-ring pace that this match demands, with Angle and Cena both struggling to match Dream's athletic prowess. Regardless of the fact that this would be Angle's farewell bout, passing the torch to Velveteen Dream seems like the right thing to do and would be the right endorsement at the biggest stage.

Prediction: Velveteen Dream wins


#8 Shinsuke Nakamura (C) Vs. Andrade 'Cien' Almas Vs. Rey Mysterio Vs. Mustafa Ali for the United States Championship

Would this be the right call?
Would this be the right call?

Another match that could have seen the light of the day under Triple H's supervision would have been Shinsuke Nakamura defending his United States Championship against Andrade 'Cien' Almas, Rey Mysterio, and Mustafa Ali. While it's a damn shame that the creative team have diminished Nakamura's credibility as a main event superstar, Hunter could have utilized his in-ring versatility to its full extent.

Considering that all the four performers are so agile between the ropes, they could have literally delivered one of the greatest United States Championship match of all time. With Almas willing to break out as a singles performer on the main roster, this would have been an ideal opportunity for him to outshine all the opposition to come out victorious, in the end.

Prediction: Andrade 'Cien' Almas wins

#9 Drew Mcintyre vs. Braun Strowman in a Last Man Standing Match

This would have been exciting
This would have been exciting

With Vince McMahon failing to bring any significant attention to Braun Strowman's character, Triple H could have effectively utilized the opportunity and deliver something special here. Ever since Drew Mcintyre made his way back to Monday Night Raw, we all knew that he was destined to become one of the most compelling heels in the entire company.

Since he's currently engaged in a tussle with Roman Reigns, Hunter could have booked a blockbuster showdown between the former NXT Champion and The Monster Among Men at the Show of Shows.

While it would have been incredibly difficult for WWE to book Strowman to lose cleanly, a shocking interference from Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper would have made things more intriguing whilst giving Mcintyre the victory that he rightfully deserves.

Prediction: Drew Mcintyre wins with a shocking interference from The Wyatt Family


#10 Triple H vs. Batista in a No Holds Barred Match

Will Batista play the Game?
Will Batista play the Game?

There's no denying that if there's a momentous for WWE to book a blockbuster showdown between Triple H and Batista, it is now. With WrestleMania 35 just around the corner, the company have calculatively advanced the narrative for this rivalry, with Batista's menacing heel role offering enough promise.

Despite the fact that most of the matches have been altered to cater the audience's interest, The Game's heated rivalry with The Animal seems like an exceptional bout on the WrestleMania match-card.

Considering that the plan could very well be to ascend Batista as the biggest heel on the main roster, the creative would have definitely booked The Animal to get the better off The Cerebral Assassin at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Prediction: Batista wins

#11 Asuka (c) vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Shayna Baszler for the SmackDown Women's Championship

Will The Empress reign supreme?
Will The Empress reign supreme?

It's a damn shame that WWE has failed to catapult Asuka as the most dominating female competitor in the entire women's division. Despite the fact that she was an invincible under Triple H's wing, she will still walk into the MetLife Stadium as the SmackDown Women's Champion.

Considering that Charlotte Flair is the backbone of the women's division, her insertion in this bout alongside a determined Shayna Baszler would have kept the fans intrigued till the end of the match. Three of the most prolific performers in the women's division putting all on the line to get their hands on the top prize.

While The Game would have definitely protected The Empress of Tomorrow, giving Baszler the gold on the Show of Shows would have been brilliant. Moreover, some assistance from Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke would have set the tone for an incredible 2019 after WrestleMania 35.

Prediction: Shayna Baszler wins after pinning Charlotte


#12 Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose

Will justice be served?
Will justice be served?

With Dean Ambrose rumored to leave the WWE after his contract expires in April, this could have been the perfect match to send him off at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Three brothers vowing to prove their mettle on the main roster slug it out in front of a sold-out crowd in New Jersey. There's enough history here to tell an intriguingly cooked story.

Since Seth Rollins has carried Monday Night Raw on his own for the better part of 2018 and 2019, The Architect certainly deserves to be propelled in matches of such magnitude. However, Roman Reigns' blockbuster return to the squared circle has gravitated tremendous mainstream attention from all over the globe.

Therefore, The Game would have capitalized on the situation and made sure that all the three superstars are presented strongly regardless of the outcome. Moreover, a post-match Shield reunion would have felt huge and would have made for an incredibly emotional WrestleMania moment at the Show of Shows.

Prediction: Roman Reigns wins

#13 The Undertaker vs. 'The Demon King' Finn Balor

The battle for age
The battle for age

There's no denying that every single member of the WWE Universe wants The Undertaker to have one last ride at the Showcase of the Immortals against 'The Demon King' Finn Balor. While WWE has been very silent on the Phenom's role at this year's WrestleMania, there's still a possibility that the former World Champion will be making his supernatural presence felt in New Jersey, in some capacity.

Considering the fact that Triple H is such an admirer of the Undertaker, he would have certainly pushed this bout as a headlining act at the Show of Shows. It was The Game who created Finn Balor's incredible alter-ego and since the fans have been yearning to see these two slug it out in front of a sold-out crowd, Hunter would have just given us what we want.

Despite the fact that The Undertaker's streak isn't a special attraction anymore, a win here for Finn Balor would have propelled him to unimaginable heights.

Prediction: 'The Demon King' Finn Balor wins


#14 Brock Lesnar (C) vs. A.J. Styles for the Universal Championship

This deserves to happen
This deserves to happen

Despite the fact that Seth Rollins happens to be my favorite WWE superstar today, booking Brock Lesnar vs. A.J. Styles for the Universal Championship would have been the best possible choice. This all began when The Phenomenal One took The Beast Incarnate to his absolute limits at Survivor Series 2017 and considering that the match was supposed to happen again at last year's Survivor Series, Bryan's shocking victory coerced us to believe otherwise.

It would have been incredible if The Game continued the story, with the former WWE Champion eventually winning the Royal Rumble and then challenging the Universal Champion for a blockbuster bout at WrestleMania 35. Moreover, a victory here would have been the right way to bring A.J. Styles on Monday Night Raw and build him as the face that runs the place.

Prediction: A.J. Styles wins the Universal Championship

#15 'The New' Daniel Bryan (C) vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Samoa Joe vs. Randy Orton vs. Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens in a Ladder match for the WWE Championship

The ascension of Kofi
The ascension of Kofi

There's no denying that we're about to witness one of the greatest stories in wrestling history on SmackDown Live with Kofi Kingston. The former Intercontinental Champion's willingness to prove his mettle to the management that he's more than just a good B+ player has coerced the fans to embark on the 'KofiMania' bandwagon.

Considering that Kofi will slug it out with 'The New' Daniel Bryan in a singles match at WrestleMania 35, it would have been more intriguing if the management would have stacked the odds against him even more. Booking a blockbuster ladder match between the six competitors for the most coveted prize in sports entertainment would have been significant in impelling Kingston to the very top.

Prediction: Kofi Kingston finally realizes his dream


#16 Ronda Rousey (C) vs. Becky Lynch in a No Disqualification Match for the Raw Women's Championship

The Man comes around
The Man comes around

In what could very well be one of the greatest WrestleMania main events in the company's history, Ronda Rousey will defend her Raw Women's Championship against an opportunistic Charlotte Flair and a determined Becky Lynch. Despite the fact that the match would be highly entertaining, it would have been more compelling if the company promoted it as a singles match between Becky and Ronda.

Triple H's adulation to bring prestige to the women's division would have coerced the creative team to book a No D.Q. match between the two popular performers at the Show of Shows. Since Marina Shafir, Jessamyn Duke, and Shayna Baszler all made their presence known earlier in the predictions, all the three would have added more fire to this blockbuster bout.

Moreover, their inclusion would have also led to Charlotte Flair, Bayley, and Sasha Banks returning to the ring for retaliation. Concluding the bout on a high with an uncompromising Becky Lynch finally realizing her dream by pinning the Rowdy One in front of a deafening crowd in New Jersey.

Prediction: Becky Lynch wins
