5 WWE Superstars who deserve high profile matches at WrestleMania 36

WrestleMania 36 is right around the corner and while a lot of the card is still being worked out as we speak, there are certain Superstars that probably deserve high profile spots more than others. In fact, there are quite a few talents that fall under this category and it would just seem wrong to not give them their due on the biggest stage of them all.

Of course, some fans are going to disagree about which Superstars deserve high profile matches and which ones don't, but that's the fun of opinions. In the end, we don't have to agree and the fact that we don't doesn't make anyone else's picks any less valid than the others.

With that being said, here are five Superstars that deserve marquee matches at The Show of Shows. As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us who you think is deserving of a high profile spot at this year's WWE WrestleMania.

#5 Rusev

Rusev i s very deserving of a high profile feud at WrestleMania 36

WWE knows that they have a talented babyface in Rusev and while that plan didn't ultimately come to fruition in his feud with Bobby Lashley, it doesn't mean it can't further down the line. In fact, if WWE were to go back to the drawing board and start getting fans behind the Bulgarian Brute again, he could surge in popularity once again.

Whether that happens by slowly getting him back together with Lana or even putting him in the midcard title picture remains to be seen, but the company needs to give him some kind of high profile WrestleMania 36 match. Either that, or risk shutting the door on what could be Rusev's last chance to get to the top of the mountain.

In the end, the company has done a great job of making people care about Rusev. They did it in the Bobby Lashely storyline and did even did it before that with Rusev Day. If nothing else, this is something that can be replicated only so many times before fans give up and they might just be reaching that limit.

#4. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross

What would WrestleMania 36 be without Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross?

Remember when Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross were women's tag team champions?

While the company finally put the belts on the duo after months of The Iiconics as champions, they were eventually beaten by The Kabuki Warriors and haven't been relevant since. With that being said the WWE Universe are still firmly behind the best friends. WWE should use this and give them some kind of marquee match at WrestleMania 36.

At least that way, the company can build upon the legitimacy that these two women bring to the table and use that to further The Women's tag team division in some meaningful way. Whether that happens by them winning back the titles, or being the deciding fall in some other team's victory, the important part is that they are involved.

In all honesty, there are so many directions that WWE can go in with this pair and they should at least do something for WrestleMania season. No more Moments of Bliss, no more backstage segments just to fill time. These women deserve to be so much more than side characters and hopefully the company will change that.

#3. Carmella

Carmella has been absolutely killing it in recent weeks

Another female Superstar who deserves a lot of credit for strengthening the SmackDown Women's division is Carmella. Of course, it is more than likely that she will come up short in her bid to reshape the women's division and ultimately be lost in the shuffle, but she deserves something for her effort.

She has become an important cog in the WWE SmackDown Women's division and has taken her performances to a new level. She even has proven her versatility after being part of a comedy act with R-Truth and then transitioning into the title picture with next to no problem.

In the end, she is someone that has worked hard this past year with whatever role she has been given and shined every single time. Again, some of that has included comedy gimmicks and sideshow type storylines, but she has always done the best with what she was given and entertained fans in the process. That has to be worthy of some kind of match at the showcase of the immortals.

#2. Aleister Black

Aleister Black has been a man on a mission since coming to RAW

Aleister Black is a rare kind of talent.

He almost has a Fiend-like mystique to his character, but none of the lore that would make him a supernatural entity. With that being said however, he has this look about him that absolutely screams dangerous and his matches have been nothing short of amazing over the last couple of months.

Black's feud with Buddy Murphy was one of the best things on WWE RAW during the winter and the two men didn't waste a second of time they were given. In fact, Black and Murphy put on classic after classic and it has helped both men rise up the card a bit.

In the end, Black goes out and proves every single night why he is must see television and WWE should reward him in some way. Sure, he's not a top guy right now and the company probably has a lot more they need to do with him before he is even close, but he should be rewarded for what he has done so far.

#1. Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens deserves some kind of reward for all his hard work this year.

While Kevin Owens remains to be one of the hottest commodities that WWE has to offer, the company doesn't seem to have much a solid direction for The Prizefigther. Unfortunately for Owens, that has meant stop and start pushes for the last couple of months and it has been disappointing to watch.

Now WWE really isn't to blame for this, especially with the great pains they are going through to build the next crop of Superstars, but Owens needs some kind of reward for what he has done lately. Furthermore, he is arguably the biggest babyface on Monday Night RAW right now and is truly one of the high points of the show.

With that being said and WrestleMania 36 right around the corner, Owens is more than deserving of a high profile matchup at The Show of Shows. Maybe WWE could find a title picture to put him in, or even bring in veteran Superstar to work with him. KO has a lot of momentum behind rightn now and WWE need to cash in with a big WrestleMania match for him.
