WrestleMania season culminated two weeks ago with the 40th edition of the show proving to be a staggering success for WWE. The event shattered records, sold out shows, and crowned new champions ushering WWE into a brand new era led by WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque.
Moreover, the company reportedly has early plans in the works in terms of the location and match card for next year’s edition .i.e WrestleMania 41, rumored to take place in either Minnesota or Las Vegas. So here are 4 top-caliber matches that could main event, The Show of Shows next year:
1. Charlotte Flair vs Jade Cargill
Jade Cargill has busted on the WWE at the time Charlotte Flair is out of action due to injury. The entire calendar year could see WWE give a monster push to The Storm, while Flair recuperates from her knee issues and becomes ready to return to the ring.
Their stories would finally cross paths with Jade winning the Royal Rumble match and Flair once again becoming the champion, setting the stage for a blockbuster dream match envisioned ever since she signed with the company.
2. CM Punk vs Seth Rollins
The long-standing tensions between real-life rivals, CM Punk and Seth Rollins were meant to be settled as part of the WrestleMania 40 Night 1 main event, as per WWE’s original plans before Punk went down with an injury.
The timeframe between now and then would see the Second City Saint rehabbing and beginning his second run in WWE, and winning multiple high-caliber showdowns. With CM Punk’s credibility once again established, WWE could book the highly anticipated dream showdown between Punk and Rollins for next year’s WrestleMania main event.
3. The Rock vs Roman Reigns can headline WrestleMania 41
Another dream match that was set in stone to take place was the showdown between the Samoan megastars and blood relatives, The Rock and Roman Reigns. However, following a huge backlash from the fans, WWE chose to go with Cody Rhodes as the credible opponent for Reigns in his high-profile narrative to Finish the Story.
With Cody getting his crowning moment, the company could shift back its focus to the Rock Roman story, which after an extensive buildup through The Bloodline storyline could culminate in a one-on-one encounter in the main event of WrestleMania 41.
4. Cody Rhodes vs The Rock can headline WrestleMania 41
On the following night after WrestleMania 40 Sunday, The Rock and Cody Rhodes met each other for the final time before The Final Boss went on a hiatus. Before biding the WWE Universe farewell for now, The Rock made it clear that he would be coming after The American Nightmare upon his return.
Moreover, reports have suggested that he wants to have that top-tier match at WrestleMania. With a separate narrative already in place between them built on the road to WrestleMania 40, WWE could pick their storyline once again and lead to the main event showdown between Cody Rhodes and The Rock at WrestleMania 41.
