4 Superstars who might not be too excited about WrestleMania 35 

"The biggest showcase of them all", "the show of shows", "the grandest stage of them all" or basically "WrestleMania" is getting closer day by day and the preparations for the show have been ramping up. The biggest show of the year and probably by some distance the biggest wrestling spectacle of the year, WrestleMania, has always been something that everyone, be it the fans or be it the wrestlers will always look forward to.

Every year some great moments are made on the stage that makes their place as a "WrestleMania moment" in history and that's what everyone talks about. But at the same time this year, like every year, there are going to be a few who because of various reasons might not be looking forward to the biggest showcase of the year.

Let's go through the list of a few wrestlers who might actually not be that excited about WrestleMania 35.

#1 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman won't feature in any big fights yet again at Wrestlemania

I think this one is almost unanimous. Braun Strowman is one of the biggest stars in WWE right now. He has scaled many mountains in WWE but if we are being completely honest, he would not be too chuffed to see the direction his character is taking for the second year in a row before WrestleMania.

Last year, Braun fought for the Raw Tag Team Championships against Sheamus and Cesaro with his tag team partner being none other than a child named Nicholas. Someone who had dominated throughout the year was left to do nothing but this. There were no iconic match-ups, no championship bouts, just a gimmicky little thing for WrestleMania.

Fast forward one year and you have the biggest giant in wrestling right now most probably going to feud against two celebrities from Saturday Night Live and yes, again, no iconic match-ups, no championship bouts just a gimmicky little thing yet again for the big guy. For him to go through this two years in a row would not have left Braun in too much of a happy place I suppose.

#2 Asuka

With just 2 weeks left for Wrestlemania and no match insight you've got to ask what value the Smackdown's Woman Championship holds

There are only two weeks left for WrestleMania and the SmackDown Women's Champion doesn't have an opponent yet. Yes, the same person who defeated the biggest star in WWE right now (Becky Lynch) clean at Royal Rumble has been completely neglected with her being hardly present on the shows most of the time.

There used to be rumors of Asuka facing Lacey Evans at WrestleMania. But apparently, Lacey Evans has been put back to the role of just waltzing to the ring and back. So maybe that plan is out of the picture it seems.

Then there were rumors of a triple threat between Mandy Rose, Sonia Deville, and Asuka but even that seems to be up in the air so we really don't know what's in store as far as the SmackDown women's Championship is concerned. One thing that's pretty sure though is that the match would not even have a fraction of the eyeballs that the "other" Championship would be getting at WrestleMania and for someone of the caliber of Asuka that's not going to go down well.

#3 Kevin Owens

From challenging for WWE Championship to being back as the host of the Kevin Owens show in just two weeks is quite a fall

The very first week that Kevin Owens steps back into the ring after his return he gets a Title shot. A very emotional Kevin Owens talks about how important this is for him and his family and how he wants to take the title back to his little children at home. He ends up in a title bout just 2 weeks into his return. The match is converted to a triple threat match and Mustafa Ali is added to the match. During the match, Mustafa Ali gets pinned by Daniel Bryan and he still retains the title.

The very next week what happens? There's no mention of Kevin Owens in the championship scene. He's completely forgotten and this week he features in the "Kevin Owens Show" where he's pretty much a sidekick to Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. Oh and he doesn't really have much to do for mania either.

In 3 weeks Owens has gone from sending the fans into a frenzy with his return, fighting for the biggest gold on SmackDown to just an afterthought with literally nothing planned for him at WrestleMania. This is surely not going to go down well with him and he might be a tad disappointed with the direction his character has taken so quickly.

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura

Nakamura surely is a talent getting wasted right now

Before we say anything let's get a few things straight. Shinsuke Nakamura is already a legend of this game. He's been there and he has reached some crazy heights in his career and there's hardly anyone in the world of wrestling who would not know of his achievements in this field.

Now with that out of the way. You just look at what Shinsuke Nakamura would be doing this WrestleMania it would make your blood boil. A wrestler who was just last year fighting for the biggest prize on SmackDown has been completely taken off the rails for reasons unexplained right now. He has hardly put a foot wrong (except once when he dropped John Cena on his neck, maybe that was it?) to have faced such a relegation in his WWE career.

He's consistently done a good job whenever he's got a chance but all he has to show for last one year is an underwhelming US Championship reign and a current prospect of maybe at best featured on the WrestleMania pre-show. That's some fall from grace for a wrestler who fought for the WWE Championship belt last year
