There is nothing bigger in WWE than the main event of Wrestlemania. Here are five future main events fans would like to see at the Showcase of the Immortals.
It is nearly mid-March already and Wrestlemania season is indeed upon us throughout WWE. Both Raw and SmackDown already have multiple matches scheduled for the big show. Once Wrestlemania concludes, fans are always left with the question of ‘what if?’ What if these two superstars face off in the future?
WWE is overall doing a great job with building their young talent as well as building household names who haven’t gotten a push in a while or even at all. Bray Wyatt is a prime example of this for SmackDown Live. Wyatt will now be headlining his first Wrestlemania of his career against the Viper, Randy Orton. With all of the new talent WWE is bringing in, there are plenty of big name match-ups fans would like to see take place at the Showcase of the Immortals.
WWE has already booked multiple so-called ‘dream matches’ with the edition of AJ Styles to the roster, putting him in matches with the likes of John Cena and just this past week, Randy Orton. With stars such as Finn Balor, Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, Austin Aries, Asuka and Roderick Strong all eventually making their way to the main roster, there are plenty of match-ups fans would love to see. All have made names for themselves in other companies prior to entering WWE.
This New Era will have plenty in store for years to come with the ongoing development of their stars. Wrestlemania will continue to grow and grow as the years pass, as will their superstars. Without further ado, here are five future Wrestlemania main events that must happen. Some are -match-ups we would like to see again and some are first-time encounters on the WWE stage.

Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose
One of the matches that drew the most attention in 2016 was the WWE World Heavyweight Championship triple threat match between all three of the former Shield members. The Shield wreaked havoc throughout WWE for close to two years before Seth Rollins ultimately decided to take matters into his own hands and go out on his own. Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns are three of WWE’s top stars at the current time; even if Reigns does not have the backing of the WWE Universe, he is still a dominant force in the ring.
The three former Shield members tore the house down last year at WWE Battleground. A showdown between Rollins, Ambrose and Reigns is an absolute must see main event that was built for Wrestlemania. It was shocking to see the match-up first occur at a pay-per-view such as Battleground and not even a SummerSlam or The Royal Rumble type pay-per-view. Regardless, this is a future main event for Wrestlemania that will draw the attention of the wrestling world.

AJ Styles vs. John Cena
AJ Styles versus John Cena is surely nothing new at this point. However, these two in the ring together is must see television. These two are arguably the top two in-ring performers in sports entertainment today. When Styles and Cena have locked horns in the past, wrestling fans watched with anticipation as the two best would put on a match of the year candidate each time out there. Their match at SummerSlam in 2016 was one of the best matches in WWE history.
When these two first shared the ring together at Money in the Bank 2016, it was built as a match 10 years in the making. John Cena should win his 17th WWE Championship at the grandest stage of the all, Wrestlemania. This would break he and Ric Flair’s all-time record of world title reigns. Who better to do it against than arguably the best wrestler in the world today, Styles? Not only do they have excellent chemistry together in the ring, they are superb with their promos and hyping up the match.

Finn Balor vs. AJ Styles
AJ Styles and Finn Balor are arguably two of the biggest stars to come out of New Japan Pro Wrestling and enter the WWE. Both are former members of the Bullet Club as well, a faction formed in New Japan. With that being said, they have significant history together to help build a rivalry from. Both of these superstars have Wrestlemania main event written all over them. Styles as well as Balor are two of the most popular wrestlers in WWE right now and will continue to be for years to come.
It is only a matter of time before these to encounter one another in a WWE ring. The moment they meet face to face will surely be met with the chants of”This is Awesome!” from the WWE Universe. Both men have energetic move sets and can put on a match of the year with seemingly a drop of a hat. Putting them in the main event at the Showcase of the Immortals will only amplify this. Balor versus Styles should absolutely be a future main event at Wrestlemania.

John Cena vs. Randy Orton: End of an Era
John Cena and Randy Orton are arguably the two biggest stars of their generation. Both men made their respective debuts back in 2002. Orton being a third generation superstar was destined for a hall of fame career in WWE. Cena has been running the show for the better part of the past decade. He and Orton have met plenty of times throughout their illustrious careers, almost to the point of it being repetitive. Fans often wondered when the next Cena-Orton encounter would happen.
Being the heel in their rivalries, Orton has had the edge over Cena throughout the years, though a large portion of their matches did not end purely. Perhaps, I spoke too soon a few slides ago. Cena winning his record breaking 17th WWE Championship against someone like Orton is a huge main event for the show of shows. These two have not yet met on the Wrestlemania stage, so it makes sense for the future. This matched could be built as an End of an Era match between the two biggest stars of their generation.

Seth Rollins vs. John Cena
You might be thinking, ‘wow, John Cena again?’ The fact of the matter is, Cena puts on some of the best matches and is built for the main event of Wrestlemania. Seth Rollins and John Cena have met previously on multiple occasions. Most notably, their WWE World Heavyweight/United States Championship match at SummerSlam 2015, which tore the house down. Unfortunately, as many may remember, the match was ultimately disrupted by Jon Stewart. An awful ending to a match with that type of magnitude. In their matches that have ended fairly, Cena came out victorious.
Must Read: Breaking Down Styles vs. Shane
Cena and Rollins proved to have tremendous in-ring chemistry. As Rollins continues to build upon his legacy and likely win a few more championships, this match could be huge in a few years time. It was already a big deal when it initially happened, so a Wrestlemania main event showdown between these two superstars is a must. Perhaps, it could even be a potential retirement match for Cena down the road.
