LAS VEGAS, NV — With the 2026 Royal Rumble in the rearview and the “Road to WrestleMania” officially moving toward Allegiant Stadium on April 18–19, the WWE Universe is buzzing over potential headliners. This year’s event, dubbed “WrestleMania Vegas,” marks the second consecutive year the Showcase of the Immortals takes over the Strip.

Following Roman Reigns’ historic Rumble victory in Riyadh and the shocking retirement of AJ Styles, the landscape of WWE has shifted. Here are the five matches that fans and analysts are calling for as we head toward the biggest weekend in sports entertainment:

  1. Undisputed WWE Championship: Drew McIntyre (c) vs. Roman Reigns After Reigns outlasted 29 other men to win the Rumble, the “Original Tribal Chief” is on a collision course with the “Scottish Warrior.” McIntyre has held the title with an iron grip since the start of 2026, and a showdown between these two heavyweights would serve as the ultimate battle for brand supremacy.
  2. World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Bron Breakker The rivalry between the “Best in the World” and the leader of “The Vision” has reached a fever pitch. Breakker has spent months terrorizing the RAW roster, and a main event clash against Punk would represent the ultimate passing of the torch—or a final stand for the veteran champion.
  3. WWE Women’s Championship: Jade Cargill (c) vs. Bianca Belair This is the “Power vs. Power” dream match the world has waited for. With Cargill dominating as champion and Belair seeking to reclaim her throne after a resurgent winter, Allegiant Stadium is the only venue big enough to host this clash of titans.
  4. The Retirement Match: Gunther vs. Brock Lesnar After Gunther officially retired AJ Styles in Saudi Arabia, the “Ring General” has set his sights on the ultimate predator. Rumors suggest this could be Lesnar’s final WrestleMania, making it a high-stakes encounter between two of the most physical forces in wrestling history.
  5. Women’s World Championship: Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Liv Morgan Liv Morgan’s “Miracle in the Desert” at the Royal Rumble has earned her a ticket to Vegas. While Cargill is an option, a technical masterpiece against the reigning Women’s World Champion, Stephanie Vaquer, would provide a fresh, high-stakes narrative for the RAW division.
