With just over two months before WrestleMania 34, there is already a rumored lineup for the year's biggest pay-per-view for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

According to rumors, some of these matches include: Brock Lesnar versus Roman Reigns; AJ Styles against Shinsuke Nakamura; The Miz competing against Braun Strowman; Alexa Bliss versus Nia Jax; Asuka against Charlotte Flair; and Seth Rollins going against Jason Jordan.

The legendary Undertaker, who lost against Reigns in a no holds barred match last April, is reportedly taking on John Cena this time around.

The 52-year-old World Champion is best known for The Streak, where he won an unprecedented 21 straight victories WrestleMania. He might have lost against Reigns last year, but he is much stronger now following a much-needed hip surgery. Predictions are strong that he will face off with Cena for WrestleMania 34.

Mixed martial artist (MMA) and actress Ronda Rousey is also making her WrestleMania debut after her sudden appearance at WWE Universe just a few days ago. The former UFC megastar made a move that shocked many fans, considering she denied it to TMZ prior, saying she has a movie to wrap up in Colombia with Mark Wahlberg.

However, she sang a different tune in an interview with ESPN. "This is my life now," she told the sports outlet. "First priority on my timeline for the next several years. This is not a smash-and-grab; this is not a publicity stunt."

Rousey also recounted her first meeting with Triple H, where she told him, "There are other things I can do with my time that'll make way more money, but I won't enjoy nearly as much."

Based on predictions, there is a chance Rousey would be competing with Charlotte, instead of Asuka. However, since she was just recently introduced and would need a bit of time to develop her storyline, chances are she would compete in a tag team match instead.

If true, Rousey will team up with a yet unknown wrestler in a battle against Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.

WrestleMania 34 happens April 8, Sunday, in New Orleans. It will be aired on CBS Sports.
