Either this hasnt gone noticed in recent months or its a very new tactic, but WWE has taken to calling big matches worthy of a WrestleMania main event, affixing that status to two bouts for the upcoming Money in the Bank PPV.

Admittedly, AJ Styles versus John Cena, and Roman Reigns versus Seth Rollins are very big matches, with Styles/Cena being a first time ever and Reigns/Rollins being for the world title for the first time ever (at least in a one-on-one match). And truthfully, you could sell a WrestleMania with Styles/Cena and Rollins/Reigns provided there were other marquee matches on the card.

Even though theres some truth to this advertising, it bears a mild negative if only because you know WWEs propensity to overdo things means well soon be calling Rusev/Titus ONeil a Mania-worthy bout.
