20 Most Anticipated Wrestling Matches Of 2026

6. Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins

A cynical person might suggest that this whole year of Seth Rollins dominating Monday Night Raw was all building towards The Vision's leader setting up a singles match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42. The two former Shield men spent much of 2025 tiptoeing around one another, with Reigns having to deal with Rollins' henchmen in order to get to Raw's big dog.

There had been a resigned inevitability about the procession towards the main event of WrestleMania 42 being dominated by Reigns vs Rollins that felt oddly flat. For two men with such a dense and bitter rivalry, there is much work to do to make this feel exciting, and not just a rehash of a rehash of a rehash of these two men's grievances, should WWE decide to push forward with this plan as and when Seth returns to action.

Depending on Rollins' recovery from his shoulder injury, there is still plenty of time between now and 'The Showcase Of The Immortals' to correct this. Previously, this match seemed set in stone, but how excited you are about it, should it happen, depends on your vantage point.
