This WWE board has got me bored over the past few days... so, what do you consider to be a big money match (such as for WrestleMania) left that's a real possibility? I'll get us started with just a few (without repeating any wrestlers):
Roman Reigns vs. The Rock - I'm surprised this hasn't been done. This is likely the last desperate attempt to help get Reigns over. They're family, and having Reigns beat the Rock would be about the only thing left for Reigns to add to his list of accomplishments. Easily a future WM main event.
Brock Lesnar vs. Daniel Bryan - Back when Bryan came back from injury the first time (beginning of 2015 I believe), when Lesnar was the WWE Champion, most people really wanted to see this match. It's the ultimate David and Goliath match with the biggest underdog perhaps in wrestling history vs. the most dominant wrestler ever seen in pro wrestling.
Triple H vs. CM Punk - This writes itself. Punk comes back after being offered a lot of money and faces Triple H, who is now the epitome of the WWE.
--- Honorable Mentions ---
Chris Jericho vs. Seth Rollins - I wouldn't be surprised if this has happened, but I think a high quality program between the two would be great. Now that Rollins is "Monday Night Rollins", Jericho can come back and attempt to reclaim "Raw is Jericho".
Finn Bàlor vs. The Undertaker - This one would need a lot of work for Bàlor to regain his character image/credibility. But essentially this writes itself and would be one of the best character matches WWE can give today. Perhaps if Bàlor doesn't use his demon gimmick for a while, he can bring it back to face the Undertaker.
Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles - I'm sure this happened in TNA, but having this match with two of the greatest wrestlers on the planet in a high profile match at WrestleMania could be match of the year. Definitely a generational dream match.

Kurt/AJ unfortunately has likely passed its prime opportunity. They had great feuds in TNA but Kurt has just gotten too old and his body too broken down to compete at that level anymore.
Triple H/Punk would be huge because of the realness but about the closest thing to impossible. I don't think Punk will ever come back. Theres always the never say never but I see him as someone content that he doesn't need WWE.
I think Seth/AJ could be huge if they push it right, maybe not the biggest match of all time but still big nonetheless. But they gotta stop with these half pushes on Rollins.

Lesnar breaking Bryan in half and sending him into retirement again would be laugh worthy, so I would be down with that!
Rollins vs. Styles is a dream match, but I doubt Vince sees it as a money maker match.
Lesnar vs. Lashley is a money match, as is Orton vs. Styles, HHH vs. Styles, and even Reigns vs. Styles still, since Styles never beat Reigns back in 2016 for the WWE Title.

It’s crazy to think how much wwe has changed with Cm Punk being gone. If he were to ever come back any match could be a mega money match. Some personal ones for me would be
Undertaker vs Cena (with a proper build going all the way back to Cenas debut where taker shook his hand)
Rock vs Cena III
Styles vs Rollins
The Club vs The Shield
Lesnar vs Lashley
Lesnar vs Batista

Punk would really struggle to be seen as legitimate now. He lost so bad in the UFC

Punk would really struggle to be seen as legitimate now. He lost so bad in the UFC I see your point, but I disagree. If his music hit - all would be forgotten. That said, when I think of big money main events, I think of major stars. And right WWE really only has 3 of those. Rock (sort of), Cena and Lesner. So right now, I’m not sure there are any possible that we haven’t already witnessed. But I would say Rock Vs Brock (again) is the biggest match they could put together. Braun and Regins might get to this level, but I doubt it... Dream matches? Well that is a different story. AJ and Rollins comes to mind... but that is not a mega- money match.

Cena took Bryans spot in the SummerSlam match where Cena was murdered by Brock.
At least that's what I've always heard.

Rousey never looked like someone who walked off the street into the octagon with no training, plus she’d dominated for years before that. Punk embarrassed himself badly in his only two fights.

If you say The Bucks come to WWE, then them and the Revival, steel cage tag elimination match.
Undisputed Era vs Bryan/Rollins, Joe, AJ as a grudge match of old guard/new guard.
Ascension vs AOP back in an NXT ring
Nakamura vs Itami (last man standing) in Japan on a supercard
Riddle vs Lesnar could work if they made it a shootfight

These are money matches? I see why we're paying $9.99 for PPVs now then.

I personally want to see a Rollins vs AJ match, it would be phenomenal.
Undertaker vs Seth would be great as well
Seth vs Neville for the title would of been awesome too
Still want to see Reigns vs Goldberg
Undertaker vs Goldberg

Nope! I am not.
People so badly want to see Bryan vs. Lesnar, and why?? So they can see Lesnar destroy Bryan with head shots, thus giving him concussions to have to retire again??
Imagine of Lesnar did one of those legit forearm shots to Bryan like he did to Orton or Reigns. It would be the end of Bryan.

Reigns beating The Rock would do nothing for him. Similar to when he beat Taker at WM and just got booed out of the building. Nothing can salvage Reigns except a heel turn and letting run a faction. I still believe Reigns could be the dominant heel for a decade similar to what Triple H did for Austin and Rock. Reigns could get a lot of baby faces over. Reigns turns heel with Samoa Joe similar to a two man power trip or Reigns joining the Usos and running a heel faction.
