#5. WWE is planning two massive matches for WrestleMania 39
The main event for this year's WrestleMania seems to be set as Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar, and Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair has already been announced. Reports have now suggested that there are already discussions in place regarding two massive matches for Wrestlemania 39 next year.
As per reports, Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch is being discussed for WrestleMania 39. Many expected these two former rivals to clash this year, especially after Rousey won the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble Match. However, the company decided to have Rousey challenge SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair instead.
As for the second big match, Roman Reigns vs. The Rock is WWE's current plan. This is a dream match that has been teased for quite some time now but hasn't materialized yet. With WrestleMania 39 set to take place in Hollywood, it would be the perfect stage for this mega-clash, which could end up being The Rock's farewell match as well.
