WWE is advertising six marquee stars for WrestleMania 39 weekend, which is less than eight months away now.
Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair, Brock Lesnar, United States Champion Bobby Lashley, Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch are all featured in WWE's WrestleMania 39 advertisements. The show will take place inside SoFi Stadium (home of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams and Chargers) in Inglewood, California on the Apr. 1-2 weekend.
WWE is reportedly planning a dream showdown between Reigns and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson for WrestleMania 39. The Rock, of course has a busy movie schedule and will be working in the XFL, which is set to relaunch in February of next year. So it could take a while until WWE receives firm confirmation as to whether or not The Rock will be able to wrestle at The Showcase of Immortals next year.
Lashley is enjoying a strong run as a babyface and recently enjoyed two runs as the WWE Champion. It's anybody's guess who he could feud with for WrestleMania 39 next year, but many fans will definitely hold out hope for another showdown with Lesnar.
It has been reported that WWE will run the long-awaited Rousey vs. Lynch dream match at WrestleMania 39. Lynch turned babyface following her loss to Belair at SummerSlam two weeks ago, and she's currently sidelined with a shoulder injury. So the path is there for WWE to run a babyface Lynch vs. heel Rousey program. Belair has been a mainstay since joining the main WWE roster, so it wouldn't be surprising if she was featured in one of the top women's championship matches at WrestleMania 39.
Lesnar and Rousey both wrestle on a part-time basis, but they're usually at top pay-per-view events like WrestleMania. At this year's show, Rousey lost her SmackDown Women's Championship match to Charlotte Flair, and Reigns lost a "Winner Takes All" title unification match to The Tribal Chief.
WrestleMania 39 Could Be One For The Ages
WWE usually doesn't disappoint its fans when it comes to piecing together a stacked card for WrestleMania. Who knows how the majority of the card will look. But without a doubt, the dream Reigns vs. Rock and Lynch vs. Rousey matches alone would make for a historic pay-per-view.
