There's a lot of excitment around WrestleMania 41. As should be the case. This is the biggest annual showcase in professional wrestling and sports entertainment alike. Some of the card has already taken shape, as Royal Rumble winners Charlotte Flair and Jey Uso have called their shots at Tiffany Stratton and GUNTHER respectively.
But what about the rest of the show? WWE has a stacked roster, with many of the top names in the business. Triple H has to find a way to get this group involved in a creative fashion. This is especially true for the women's division where there's a growing frustration around the roster's direction or lack thereof.
Looking ahead to April 19 and April 20, here are three big matches that must happen at WrestleMania 41.
Bayley versus Roxanne Perez
WWE has built up a solid storyline between Bayley and Roxanne Perez. They've mixed things up across all three brands, and things continue to get heated. This is an important feud that can be used to tap the future of the WWE women's division.
Bayley is an icon of women's wrestling, but there's nothing else left for her to achieve. She's going to remain near the top of the division. A future Hall of Famer in all regards. However, perhaps now is the time to start building the rest of the women's division around her.
This is where Perez comes into play. If Bayley is an icon of today, Perez has the makings to be a multi-time champion of the future. In order to get her there, it's going to take some building on the backs of legends who came before her. Bayley is in such a position and this is a story that must culimate with a match at WrestleMania 41.
Tag Team Fatal Four-Way to Unify Titles
WWE's tag team division needs some help. Fans of tag team wrestling do not have faith that the promotion will put a focus on the groups like there was decades ago. The titles feel more like props in bigger angles, even though there are teams like DIY, MCMG, Pretty Deadly, Legado del Fantasma, and several others. This tag team division is deep even if they aren't booked as such.
This is why it is time to unify these tag team titles under one brand and on one team. The women's tag team champions float between brands, the same should happen for the men's division if WWE has no intentions of building them as a main event feature.
For this match, it would make sense to include DIY, Motor City Machine Guns, War Raiders, and one other team from the Monday Night Raw brand. Get them into this match and let them cook to show the might of the teag team division.
Becky Lynch versus Lyra Valkyria for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship
The WWE women's division needs to find a spark outside of the title pictures. There are growing concerns about the direction of the division, and look no further than the midcard titles. Lyra Valkyria and Chelsea Green have held the titles since January and December respectively. However, they have combined to only defend the titles one time as of this writing.
That's not enough at all. In fact, its abysmal. Infusing the division with some star power can help. Enter Becky Lynch. Imagine a heel Lynch returning to set her focus on the woman she helped put on the map. Remember, Lynch dropped the WWE Women's NXT Championship to Valkyria after a run as the champion that helped spur the momentum the group has today.
Seeing her step back into WWE and set her eyes on Valkyria would be the right step to take and putting that match on the WrestleMania 41 card would help cement the division's importance for WWE's future.
