Almost every superstar that is passionate about the wrestling business aims to headline 'The Grandest Stage of them All' one day and, while a select few have made it to the top, the others possessing the same attitude have been sidelined. WrestleMania 34 heads to New Orleans this year and, with WWE focusing on some select storylines, there are some superstars in the back that are waiting for their opportunity considering they have been directionless for the whole year.
Here are 4 superstars who have no credible opponents for WrestleMania 34
#4 Randy Orton
It's hard to believe that Randy Orton was the winner of the Royal Rumble last year and then went on to become the WWE Champion at WrestleMania 33 against Bray Wyatt. It's strange considering his recent run with the company has been disappointing, to say the least. His loss to Jinder Mahal made him look like a fool and did more harm to his legacy and stock as an overall performer.
'The Viper' has struggled to find momentum and is regularly seen giving unexpected RKO's to superstars who he has no connection with. The critics have been speculating his direction with the company and it seems likely that he won't be booked in a marquee match at the Superdome. Expect the Viper to be inserted in the United States Title picture or the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal before being directionless again.
#3 Seth Rollins
'The Architect' is a fast and passionate superstar who can run circles around any man who steps in front of him. Despite being so talented, he has struggled and is roaming around without a dancing partner for 'The Show of Shows'. He was originally penciled to face 'The Lunatic Fringe' which got shelved due to Dean's bicep injury and, was then later booked in a storyline with Jason Jordan which would culminate at 'The Grandest Stage of them All' but, Seth's misery has been compounded with another unfortunate incident since Jason is yet to be confirmed to compete at the Superdome.
Seth Rollins is without a credible opponent for WrestleMania and while Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman or Samoa Joe could be viable options, it would not be beneficial to Rollins in terms of storytelling. It would be an ideal possibility for the company to put Rollins against Angle at 'The Grandest Stage of them All' considering the storyline is very much out there. Well, let's hope for the best.
#2 Samoa Joe
There's no denying that 'The Destroyer' will be craving for some competition once he returns to in-ring action after a minor foot injury. Samoa Joe has made quite an impact since his main roster debut and has been primarily featured on the Raw brand in exciting feuds and narratives. WWE have done a perfect job in booking the Samoan but as the Road to WrestleMania 34 approaches, Joe is running out of options and has not been booked in a legitimate beef with anyone.
It seems likely that he will be pushed to a filler match or to replace someone and would not be featured in a perfect manner. It would be ideal for someone like Joe to face Braun Strowman at WrestleMania 34 and produce a visual spectacle that could be remembered for years to come. The company must push the envelope with the veteran and extract his abilities to book him for a marquee match at the event.
#1 Finn Balor
The fans were expecting something spectacular when Finn Balor returned to action in 2017 after his successful rehabilitation but, 'The Demon' has emerged as the most disappointing acts of the year and has been neglected by the creative team, to say the least. The man has immense potential to be a main event superstar for the company. While he has enjoyed his share of success, he is not yet considered an iconic performer behind the scenes.
His feud with Bray Wyatt was the worst thing that could happen to his career and disrupted his position as a marquee superstar on the brand. The First-Ever Universal Champion will continue to roam directionless unless the company decides to book him in a feud with the Beast. However, it seems impossible at this moment and it's a damn shame that Finn is beginning to fade out into a different dark stratosphere that might end his stock as a main event caliber superstar.
