The match card is almost complete with under one week from showtime. There were speculations of some surprises and the entry of any former WWE Star for WrestleMania, but confirmed matches are as follows,
WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes
A Sunday main event and possibly the biggest title match of the event will be between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. Rhodes won the Royal Rumble and after long thinking, he chose Roman Reigns as his WrestleMania opponent. This may finally be where he finishes his story and ends Roman’s long title run. There is a twist in the match though. If Rhodes & Rollins win the night one main event tag match, the Bloodline would not be able to interfere in the match.
World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
Another big title match in WrestleMania 40 is Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight title. McIntyre won the Elimination Chamber match to earn this shot. He has a history with Rollins and wants to finish a story of his own by winning a major championship at WrestleMania.

Women’s Championship: Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bayley
Bayley has not forgotten the treatment she received from her fellow ‘followers’. Longtime partners turned enemies; Bayley chose Sky after winning the Royal Rumble because she caught on to the rest of Damage CTRL making fun of her behind her back.
Intercontinental Championship: GUNTHER (c) vs. Sami Zayn
‘The Ring General’ held the title for a long time now and could face a stiff challenge from Samy Zayn. Zayn won a Gauntlet match to separate himself from the rest of the field of challengers for the longest-reigning Intercontinental champion in history. Chad Gable has been coaching him up ever since.

United States Championship: Logan Paul (c) vs. Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens
A triple threat match which will have a return of Randy Orton to PPV events.

The American Nightmare will have support from Seth Rollins. This match will headline Saturday night one and determine the stipulations for Reigns vs. Rhodes in the main event of night two.
LA Knight vs. AJ Styles
They were both having issues with The Bloodline but when Styles came back from injury he had no allegiances to anyone and ran afoul of Knight. They’ve been battling it out ever since.
Jey Uso vs. Jimmy Uso
A brother vs brother match. Former members of the bloodline will settle the differences in the ring.

Naomi decided to take Bayley’s side in her feud with Iyo Sky and the rest of the group. Belair seemed to disagree but soon followed suit. Cargill signed her SmackDown contract and then decided to make a splash by aligning with them.
Although we still have some room for two more matches. WWE has a knack for surprising fans with some last-minute announcements. Fans have to wait and watch for the big announcements.
