WrestleMania 35 is almost here. We're now less than ONE WEEK away from the Shows of Shows. The match card is almost complete and excitement is on the rise. Who will have their WrestleMania moment this year and go down in history?
In this article, let's take a look at 3 Superstars who cannot afford to lose at WWE WrestleMania 35 and 3 who should and can afford to take the loss.
#3 SHOULD NOT WIN: Randy Orton
Randy Orton faces AJ Styles at WrestleMania in what is a true dream match for every WWE fan. This is the first time the duo will face each other in a singles match and there couldn't be a grander stage for it. However, there is one crucial mistake that WWE need to avoid with this match - there is no way Randy Orton should win this.
Styles is arguably the top babyface on SmackDown and need to be kept at the top of the card post-Mania and win will cement his position even further. As for Orton, he's a 13-time world champion and doesn't really need the win. Orton is a WWE veteran and highly respected by fans.
#3 NEEDS TO WIN: Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman has been in a rut since winning the Money In The Bank last year. WWE had so many chances to pull the trigger on him but just didn't. Would Strowman really have been a worse Universal Champion than someone who barely even shows up?
Strowman is booked for the Andre The Giant Memorial battle royale and the fact that he goes in feuding with Michael Che and Colin Jos from SNL says it all. Strowman needs to win this badly and get some of that momentum back.
#2 SHOULD NOT WIN: Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar needs to drop the Universal Championship at WrestleMania. It's already overkill with his dull and almost non-existent title reign. Seth Rollins needs to slay the Beast not just for himself, but also for every fan who tunes into RAW dedicated every week. We deserve a champion who at the very least, is on the show.
#2 NEEDS TO WIN: Kofi Kingston
It's been an incredible couple of months for Kofi Kingston. From taking the injured Mustafa Ali's place in Elimination Chamber to facing Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship - Kofi's done it.
It's been a long road for Kofi Kingston and this is his shot. WWE have booked this storyline perfectly, in fact, I'd say it's the best-booked storyline going into WrestleMania. We now just need the icing on the cake of Kofi bringing home the WWE Championship on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
#1 SHOULD NOT WIN: Charlotte Flair
Charlotte Flair is now an 8-time Women's Champion after her win over Asuka on last week's episode of SmackDown Live. The Queen is already one of the most decorated women to ever step into a WWE ring and will have another feather etched on her cap when she main-events WrestleMania with Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair.
However, WWE should NOT book Charlotte to win at WrestleMania. She doesn't need the win and we already know that she's at the top of the women's division.
#1 NEEDS TO WIN: Becky Lynch
The person who needs to be standing tall as WrestleMania ends is Becky Lynch. She came out of nowhere to become one of the most over stars in the company and will rightfully be a part of the WrestleMania main-event.
Becky is the babyface going in and is the least decorated of the three athletes. WWE has a chance to create a true star and cement Becky as a top tier talent.
