WrestleMania 35: 4 matches that could still realistically be added to the card
One of the biggest match cards in WWE history is shaping up nicely ahead of WrestleMania 35, with 13 matches having already been announced for the annual extravaganza on April 7.
Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch (Raw/SmackDown Women’s Championship) will be the first women’s main event in WrestleMania history, while the featured male title matches will see Seth Rollins challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship and Kofi Kingston challenge Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship.
Bobby Lashley vs. Finn Balor (Intercontinental Championship), Samoa Joe vs. Rey Mysterio (United States Championship) and Buddy Murphy vs. Tony Nese (Cruiserweight Championship) are also scheduled for the show, while Sasha Banks & Bayley will defend the Women’s Tag Team titles against Nia Jax & Tamina, Natalya & Beth Phoenix and Billie Kay & Peyton Royce.
The non-title matches for the event are as follows: Triple H vs. Batista (No Holds Barred), Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin (Angle’s ‘farewell match’), Shane McMahon vs. The Miz (Falls Count Anywhere), AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton, Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre, and the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
Despite the stacked match card so far, there are still plenty of prominent Superstars and storylines that have not yet been assigned a match at this year’s “Show of Shows”, so let’s take a look at four matches that could still realistically be added to the event.
#4 WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal
Naomi outlasted 20+ other women on the WrestleMania 34 kickoff show to become the inaugural winner of the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal.
This year, WWE has heavily promoted the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal over the last two weeks, with Braun Strowman and SNL’s Michael Che and Colin Jost being confirmed as participants so far, but the women’s version of the over-the-top match has not yet been mentioned in the build-up to WrestleMania 35.
Given that WWE has focused so much on the women’s division over the last year, plus the fact that established Superstars like Asuka, Carmella, Naomi and Mickie James are without a match at ‘Mania, the likelihood is that WWE will announce the Battle Royal for the WrestleMania 35 kickoff show at some point before April 7.
