WWE: 3 potential main events for WrestleMania 36
Ultimate Grudge Match: Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins
In a post John Cena era of WWE, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns have been the two men that WWE have hitched their wagon to.
These two men have had a complicated history. Rollins was the one who defeated Reigns at WrestleMania 31 to become WWE Champion. Their match that was supposed to take place at Survivor Series 2015 did not happen due to Rollins tearing multiple knee ligaments. While they have faced off in main events before, they haven’t wrestled each other in a full length match at WrestleMania.
The level of excitement for their match at Money in the Bank in 2016 was off the charts. While that match was for the WWE Championship, this match is about a more personal issue between both men that can only be decided at WrestleMania 36.

The story can be based around Rollins turning on Reigns on the first episode of SmackDown in 2020.
Reigns finally has a match against “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt for the WWE Universal Championship. Since Rollins lost his championship to The Fiend, he wants to provide Reigns with pointers leading up to the match. Reigns is ready to hit Wyatt with a spear to win the championship, Rollins attacks Reigns, and costs him the match.
This is the core of a feud that needs to be settled at the biggest stage in WWE, WrestleMania 36.
The work in building this match should be based on their promos. Fans have wanted both men to “feel more real” to them.
A realistic feud based around a pseudo-sibling rivalry should be what sells this match as the main event WrestleMania 36.
