Questions warrant answers and there are a lot of questions being posed about this year's WrestleMania 36, which will be a two-night extravaganza. Not only will this event serve as the first two-night WrestleMania event in the history of the company, it will also be the first time that The Show of Shows has happened without a live audience.

As if that wasn't jarring enough, there are a number of booking decisions that are seemingly up in the air at this point, which could leave fans with a very different WWE landscape when all is said and done. While that does sound very exciting to take part in, especially with the history being made throughout these two nights, fans are still a little worried about what will happen.

With that being said and the countdown almost over for WrestleMania 36, here are the five biggest questions heading into the marquee event. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us what you think WWE will do when WrestleMania 36 airs from the Performance Center.


#5 Will AJ Styles retire The Undertaker?

Is it time for Undertaker to have his last match? While a majority of the WWE Universe considers the man a living legend and will sing his praises until the end of time, one has to wonder how much longer he can go on. In fact, between the injuries that have plagued him throughout the last part of his career and his limited mobility inside the ring, it looks like retirement is the only answer.

Interestingly enough, WWE scheduled The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles in a Boneyard match at WrestleMania 36, which is leading some to believe this is the end of The Undertaker. As if that wasn't enough to create speculation, the way the company is handling the overall storyline is also raising questions.

WWE has outright sucked the lore out of The Undertaker persona over the last couple of weeks and revealed him to be just a mere mortal. Keep in mind that once that curtain is pulled back and his lore is exposed, there is no way to undo that. The fans already saw it and know the truth, which is why retirement seems like the best option.

#4 Will Otis get another chance?

In all honesty, this probably isn't the most compelling or even important storyline at WrestleMania 36, but it is something that the company has done a good job of investing us in. Maybe that has to do with the fact that we all see a little bit of ourselves in Otis, or it could just be that we want to see a happy ending, but the interest is definitely there for this angle.

With that being said and Dolph Ziggler and Otis feuding for the better part of a month, there is a lot of discussion about who Mandy Rose will choose at WrestleMania 36. Of course she could just mock Otis and run off with Ziggler at the end of their match, but what fun would that be for fans?

In the end, WWE has spent so much time investing fans into this, that it would be a shame if Mandy Rose didn't end up with Otis in some kind of capacity. Beyond that, having Mandy Rose as a manager for Heavy Machinery would pay the group huge dividends and maybe even play into them finally getting a tag team title run.

#3 Who will main event night 1 of WrestleMania 36?

WWE has a plethora of matches planned for the two-night extravaganza that will be WrestleMania 36, and for the first time ever, there will be two main events! Of course the second night's main event will probably be the more important of the two, but the first night's main event will still be a tremendous honor.

Unfortunately for the WWE, they find themselves with the impossible task of picking a suitable main event for the first night of festivities and there are a lot of deserving candidates. In fact, between Randy Orton vs. Edge in a Last Man Standing match, The Fiend vs, John Cena in a Firefly Funhouse match, and Shayna Baszler vs. Becky Lynch, the possibilities are truly endless.

If nothing else, WWE is probably going to want to go out on their first night with a bang and give fans a reason to come back. That's why fans can most likely expect the company to go with either The Fiend vs. John Cena, or Baszler vs. Lynch for the Raw Women's title as their main event for the first night.

#2 Will there be special guests?

WrestleMania has always been a place for special appearances or surprises and that includes everyone from former Superstars to celebrities. However, WWE is under some pretty tight conditions with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and might not be able to pull off the a big-name to appear on the show, like they usually can.

You also have to consider the fact that the two-night event will be taped, which likely means that a surprise appearance would have been leaked by now. Of course, the company could just be hiding it very well at the moment, but one would think that if a particular Superstar or celebrity were in town, fans would be able to put the dots together.

In all honesty, it's not going to feel like WrestleMania without a star-studded lineup of celebrities and past Superstars, which is why we hope the company has something up their sleeve. Just something to help make these two nights a little more memorable than they would have been otherwise.

#1 Does WWE still believe in Drew McIntyre?

Will WWE suddenly give up on Drew McIntyre?
Will WWE suddenly give up on Drew McIntyre?

It's no secret that WWE touted Drew McIntyre as the one to take the title off Brock Lesnar at one point during the build up to WrestleMania 36, but he has been used sparsely since then. In fact, McIntyre wasn't seen or heard from during the go-home show of Monday Night Raw and that alone is very jarring to see.

When has WWE ever had a WWE Championship feud at WrestleMania without having both competitors on the go-home show that week? If nothing else, it's a very interesting sign of things to come and has to make fans wonder if WWE think McIntyre is the real deal or not.

In the end, it sure doesn't look like it after an absence on what has to be the biggest Monday Night Raw of the year and that alone speaks volumes. What also speaks volumes is the fact that Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman got the final slot of the evening and cut a promo that surprisingly went uninterrupted.
