As of this writing, there are a few of the biggest names in the WWE who aren't going to be in a major match at WrestleMania 35. Of course, all of the following names will probably end up being in one of the show's two battle royal matches, but as we've seen throughout the years, those matches aren't taken all that seriously by the fans in attendance and at home.

We know that the company's annual Superstar Shakeup is set to take place eight days after next Sunday's big show, so we're probably going to see some major names switch brands, which should mean that there are some big names that will be receiving a major push on their new brand.

So with that in mind, here are three WWE Superstars who should get a major push following next Sunday's WrestleMania 35, which will probably end up being the longest show of all time.


#3 Johnny Gargano

For several years now, Johnny Gargano has been killing it down in NXT, and he did look pretty good when he got an opportunity to do some matches on the main roster.

Now that his ex-tag team partner Tommaso Ciampa is out of action for the foreseeable future due to an injury, it's the perfect time to have the former DIY member get a singles push on the main roster. In fact, if WWE books him correctly, he could be a new version of what Daniel Bryan was prior to his retirement, which was the ultimate underdog babyface.

Personally, I'd have Gargano end up on the same brand as AJ Styles, and I'd put the two in a program right away, as "The Phenomenal One" and "Johnny Wrestling" would undoubtedly end up having better matches than anyone else on the WWE's main roster.

#2 Asuka

WWE fans are livid that the company booked Charlotte Flair to beat Asuka for the SmackDown Women's Championship, thus ensuring that the former undefeated NXT Women's Champion won't be involved in a major match at the biggest show of the year.

So, WWE should take advantage of how furious the fans are by having Asuka start destroying everyone in her path, preferably starting in the women's battle royal at WrestleMania. In fact, if she does end up in the match, I wouldn't mind seeing her toss at least 75% of the women before winning the match.

Then coming out of the event, WWE should have her go on an incredible winning streak before getting a shot at Charlotte Flair and the SmackDown Women's Championship.

Thanks to their booking decision on last week's episode of SmackDown, Asuka now has the potential to be one of the hottest stars in the women's division if WWE uses her correctly after next Sunday's event.

#1 Kevin Owens

Even though Kevin Owens returned during an episode of SmackDown last month, it still doesn't even feel like he's back yet, as he hasn't made much of an impact since he came back.

Originally, Owens was supposed to be Daniel Bryan's opponent at WrestleMania 35, but WWE changed their plans after Kofi Kingston got over so big. So now, Owens doesn't have a major match at WWE's biggest show of the year, as he'll probably end up competing in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

While I do think Kevin Owens has the potential to be one of the biggest babyface stars in WWE, he's definitely way more suited to be a heel. In fact, he should probably turn heel on the first SmackDown after WrestleMania by attacking Kofi Kingston, who should be the WWE Champion by that point.

There's also a chance that Owens could end up on the Raw brand via the Superstar Shakeup, and if that ends up being the case, then a heel KO vs. the new Universal Champion Seth Rollins might be the way to go.
