5 Biggest upsets we can witness at WrestleMania 34

It's that time of the year again when casual pro wrestling fans get their nostalgic fix and of course, Roman Reigns main events the grandest stage of them all.

It feels like a throwback to 2015 as the 'Big Dog' will get another shot at taking down the Beast Incarnate at WrestleMania. The supposed main event, Shinsuke Nakamura vs AJ Styles will, in the meanwhile, pander to the 'smart' wrestling fans along with a host of other feuds which are expected to culminate at the mega show.

With the 34th edition of the biggest spectacle in sports entertainment history just around the horizon, here are the five biggest upsets that could happen at the show:

#5 Triple H and Stephanie McMahon defeat Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle

Mixed Match Mania!

So now you know why WWE pushed the Mixed Match Challenge so extensively. A storyline three years in the making came to a head at Elimination Chamber when WWE reignited the feud between the Authority and Ronda Rousey.

It's no secret that WWE views the former UFC Bantamweight Champion as a way of selling WrestleMania to a larger mainstream audience. Despite coming off two losses in the UFC that have laid a dent in Rowdy's aura, Rousey is still one of the baddest women on earth and a bonafide superstar in her own right. Thus having her form an Olympic dream team with Kurt Angle in her debut match at WrestleMania is best for WWE's business.

And while booking her to win in her very first outing seems like the obvious decision to make, a shocking loss akin Brock Lesnar's defeat to Goldberg would turn the world on its head and make for an intriguing post-WrestleMania season.

#4 Asuka's dominance sees a Blissful end

Another WrestleMania, another streak buried?

With the exceptions of Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, Asuka has inarguably been the most well-booked superstar in years.

An undefeated streak that started way back in 2015 is what makes the Japenese sensation such a popular figure amongst the masses. The Empress of Tomorrow is destined to become the Raw Women's Champion and while many expect it to happen at WrestleMania itself, WWE is well-versed at throwing a few curveballs at the fans.

Ending a broadly well-worked angle at the hands of Alexa Bliss may draw a lot of criticism, but streaks are meant to end at the grandiose stage of WrestleMania and it would do wonders in generating hype in the aftermath of the PPV.

#3 WrestleMania moment for The Miz

Would a triple threat be AWESOME?

You may argue otherwise but Miz has indeed carried the Raw brand in the absence of Brock Lesnar. The 8-time Intercontinental Champion has become a master at working the crowd on a weekly basis while also exponentially stepping up his in-ring game.

As things stand, The A-Lister is rumored to face Seth Rollins and Finn Balor in a triple threat match at WrestleMania and it would be a criminal misstep if neither the Kingslayer or the Demon King win the prestigious IC title for the first time in their careers.

Balor and Rollins have been victims of unforeseen circumstances leading to the fan favorites struggling in the upper mid-card without any clear direction. A title win in New Orleans would be a way back to relevancy and it's what the WWE Creative are most likely to go with at this juncture.

However, Miz managing to retain with his servile followers in Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel would certainly count as an upset.

#2 No WrestleMania moment for The Monster Among Men?

Did the wrong guy go over?

A man that can kick out of a 1000 finishers cannot get his shoulder up after a solitary F5. That's WWE's logic these days but who are we to complain. Anyway, credit has to be given where it's due and the buildup of Braun Strowman as the next lovable big guy deserves props.

However, the decision to drop Strowman from the Universal title picture despite being the hottest property in all of pro wrestling leaves a lot to be desired. A consolation title rivalry with the Miz also seems to have been dropped as the former Black Sheep has gotten into a programme with Elias.

Pitting two of the most over characters against each other sounds risky but could deliver some entertaining moments. Strowman, though, deserves much better for the stellar work he has put in and a throw-away match at WrestleMania just doesn't cut it.

Yet, the rumor mill paints a glimmer a hope for the Monster. It seems WWE has kept Strowman as a backup option if Reigns does get implicated in a raging steroid scandal.

Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated has also stated that Strowman and Elias could be added to the IC title match at WrestleMania, making it a fatal-5 way involving Miz, Balor, and Rollins.

#1 John Cena loses and calls it a day...for now

Four different names have been rumored to face The Franchise Player at WrestleMania 34

Undertaker vs. John Cena! The Cenation leader's teasing promo on Raw has rekindled the hopes of the match finally coming to fruition. While the fans may have been given a straightforward message from Cena himself that it may not happen, it could all be a part of the eventual confirmation.

And then you have reports of Cena wanting to have a match with Rey Mysterio or Samoa Joe if the latter manages to recuperate from his injury in time. The options are aplenty for the 16-time World Champion as he prepares for a six-pack title match at the upcoming Fastlane PPV.

Heck, Cena vs. Nakamura vs. AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania sounds plausible now that Cena is a part of the Fastlane proceedings.

While Cena losing in a triple threat match or to Samoa Joe wouldn't be an upset in any way whatsoever, putting over Undertaker and Rey Mysterio would absolutely be a surprise.

The 40-year-old 'free agent' is expected to resume his Hollywood duties once WrestleMania is wrapped up and we're sure he would want to leave a lasting impression until his eventual return.
