Top Matches to Watch

Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns

In the main event of WrestleMania 31, Brock Lesnar will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns. It not only has a chance to be entertaining from an in-ring perspective, but it is also extremely unpredictable.

The long-running assumption has been that Reigns is in line to take down the Beast Incarnate, but that may no longer be the case. Lesnar seemingly complicated manners when he announced on SportsCenter that he re-signed with WWE rather than making a return to UFC, according to WWE Universe on Twitter:

With Lesnar attached to WWE for the long haul, perhaps the decision-makers will decide to keep the title around his waist. At the same time, if a plan was already in place for Reigns to become the new champion, WWE could just as easily stick with that.

Regardless of the behind-the-scenes possibilities, Paul Heyman made it clear in his promo on the go-home edition of Raw that his beast would walk out of WrestleMania with the championship in tow, per WWE's official Twitter account:

Perhaps Heyman will prove to be prophetic just as he was last year when he said Lesnar would end The Undertaker's undefeated streak. The potential for a massive swerve to end WrestleMania is very much present as well, though.

With fans continuing to give Reigns a lukewarm reaction, perhaps WWE will embrace that by turning Reigns heel and aligning him with Heyman. Also, the threat of a looming Mr. Money in the Bank Seth Rollins means that both Reigns and Lesnar could leave Levi's Stadium without the title.

It is anyone's guess how the main event will play out, and that is a very exciting prospect.

Triple H vs. Sting

Sting has been part of the professional wrestling business for 30 years, but he has never had a match in WWE. At long last, that will finally change at WrestleMania when The Vigilante goes head-to-head with Triple H.

The Stinger and The Game have been at odds ever since Sting made his WWE debut at Survivor Series by helping John Cena's team beat The Authority. Sting has continued to get the better of Triple H ever since then, and he intends to dethrone the King of Kings on the Grandest Stage of Them All, according to WWE on Twitter:

Conventional wisdom would suggest that Triple H should win since Sting has dominated the feud, but it is tough to envision that happening. Sting's first WrestleMania match has been such a long time in the making that having him lose just wouldn't feel right.

Also, despite Triple H's undeserved reputation for being a "burial machine," he has put over a number of Superstars in recent years, including Daniel Bryan and The Shield in 2014. Knowing how accomplished Sting is in the professional wrestling business, Triple H won't have any problem extending him the same courtesy.

Even though this match is fairly predictable, it is a can't-miss encounter for longtime wrestling fans due to how surreal it will be to watch Sting competing in a WWE ring.

It will undoubtedly be one of the most memorable moments in WrestleMania history, and both Sting and Triple H figure to do everything they can to put on a fantastic match as well.

IC Title Ladder Match

It is certainly fair to question WWE's decision to place stars like Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose in a multi-man ladder match at WrestleMania, but that doesn't change the fact that the Intercontinental Championship ladder match has a fantastic chance to steal the show.

In addition to Bryan, Ziggler and Ambrose, the bout will also feature the likes of Bad News Barrett, Luke Harper, R-Truth and Stardust. All of them range from good to great in the ring, and it is easy to see them using the match as a platform to prove why they deserve to be higher up on the card.

Most wrestling fans are seemingly aware of this contest's potential, but the same can be said for a host of WWE Hall of Famers as well. Bret Hart is among those who are excited to see the chaos that the match is sure to create:

The same can be said for Scott Hall, who took part in one of the greatest ladder matches ever as Razor Ramon against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania X:

The Money in the Bank ladder match is routinely among the most entertaining matches of the year, and the IC title ladder match should be quite similar in that regard.

At least five of the competitors look like credible threats to win with Bryan, Ziggler and Ambrose standing out as the obvious candidates. If any of them manage to grab the belt, then there may be reason for optimism when it comes to restoring the title's prestige as well.

The Intercontinental Championship will finally receive a true showcase on the WrestleMania stage, and that is an exciting thought for wrestling fans.
