20 Most Anticipated Wrestling Matches Of 2026

As well as promising to snatch the souls of goths everywhere, Stephanie Vaquer vs Rhea Ripley is arguably the most anticipated women's match in WWE. 'La Primera' has taken the world's largest wrestling promotion by storm, being too hot to hold in NXT for longer than a few months, and winning the WWE Women's World Title within five months of debuting on Monday Night Raw.

Rhea Ripley's crowd reaction week in, week out has her in the conversation for most popular wrestler on Earth. Her encounters with Iyo Sky have already become the stuff of legend, but not everyone was able to pull the best out of Mami in 2025. Vaquer is as good as it gets in the ring, and her presence changes the air in the room in any situation, as the Chilean continues to improve her English and mic work to fulfill her limitless potential.

While this isn't always the case, WWE clearly understands what they have in an encounter of this magnitude. Close your eyes, and you can already see the pre-match graphic for this as one of the key match-ups for WrestleMania 41.
