WrestleMania 36 is just a month away, and it's shaping up to be a star-studded event, with several mouthwatering clashes set to take place. Several titles will be on the line, dream matches in place, as well as eagerly awaited returns of legends.

WrestleManias are usually where storylines culminate, putting an end to a long-standing rivalry. But, it is also a PPV that gives Superstars an opportunity to start afresh and get a new lease of life on television.

Superstars could return from hiatus or injury, or even those that have been active on the roster, but who have not got too many opportunities, get a push from WWE's creative team.

Let's take a look at 5 Superstars WWE should push after WrestleMania 36:


#5 Murphy

RAW has seen several young Superstars, promoted from 205 Live and NXT, get opportunities over the last year or so, which has coincided with the appointment of Paul Heyman as the red brand's Executive Director.

One Superstar who got a surprisingly big push was Murphy, who recently held the RAW Tag Team titles with Seth Rollins. Murphy has been part of Rollins' new faction, with the AOP. Murphy and Rollins lost the tag team titles, but it's quite certain that he will continue to be a prominent feature on RAW.

The Australian Superstar is a good performer in the ring and has improved on the mic as well, and there's a possibility that he could part ways with Rollins and co., and have a singles push following WrestleMania 36. Rollins is one of the most hated heels in WWE currently, and he could feud with Drew McIntyre if the Scottish Psychopath wins the WWE Championship at The Show of Shows.

But, there's also the possibility of Rollins turning on Murphy to begin a feud that could probably make Murphy a star.

#4 Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn won the Intercontinental Championship at Elimination Chamber, as he, along with Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura, defeated Braun Strowman in a handicap match. Zayn became the mouthpiece for Nakamura and then brought in Cesaro into this mini heel faction on SmackDown, and stepped in the ring for the first time in months at Elimination Chamber.

Zayn has not wrestled much over the last year because of injuries and then creative not having anything for him to work with, but now that he's back in the ring, expect a few fireworks when he's wrestling.

Zayn is a fantastic in-ring performer and equally good on the mic and can elevate any feud that he is in. It's a pity that he hasn't won a top championship on RAW or SmackDown ever since he was promoted from NXT. But, 2020 could be when that changes. The Intercontinental title is the first championship he has won in WWE since the NXT Championship, and this could be the start of a push that he may get.

He may continue his feud with Braun Strowman at WrestleMania 36 and could get a massive push to reinvigorate the mid-card on the blue brand, with possible feuds with the likes of Daniel Bryan, Jeff Hardy, and Elias, to name a few.

#3 Aleister Black

Another Superstar who got a big win at Elimination Chamber is Aleister Black, who defeated AJ Styles, with a little help from The Undertaker. Styles and The Undertaker are set to face each other at WrestleMania 36, and the addition of Black to the feud was an interesting decision by WWE.

Black has helped progress the feud between The Phenomenal One and The Phenom for WrestleMania, but he himself does not have anything to do at The Show of Shows. The former NXT Champion deserves better as he is a top-class performer and has a unique gimmick, that can be compared with The Undertaker.

Black came into RAW from NXT and got a big push when he was paired with Ricochet, but he's not been used well since. But, Black's involvement in the feud between Styles and The Undertaker could possibly be a sign that WWE hasn't forgotten about him and he could be back in the reckoning soon.

Paul Heyman seems to be a fan of Black and he could get a push after WrestleMania 36, perhaps restarting his feud with Styles, albeit a long one.

#2 Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens has been used peripherally in the feud between The Street Profits and the team of Murphy and Seth Rollins, helping the former win the RAW Tag Team titles. Owens, who is currently a babyface, had teamed up with Samoa Joe, before Joe's concussion and then wellness policy violation forced him to be on the sidelines.

It's a pity that Owens has not been involved at the top of the card on RAW, and hasn't had too many opportunities at the WWE or Universal Championship. The Prizefighter works best as a heel and we could very well see him be a heel once again after WrestleMania 36.

He could be another Superstar that could feud with Drew McIntyre after The Show of Shows and that could be one feud that will live up to expectations of the WWE Universe. Fans are tired of the likes of Brock Lesnar or Seth Rollins headlining shows and it's time WWE moves away from them and gives opportunities to the likes of Owens.

#1 Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks returned to WWE television last August after a few months off, turning heel on Natalya. Bayley, her best friend, also turned heel, and the two have run roughshod over SmackDown ever since.

Banks feuded with Becky Lynch on RAW last year, fighting for the RAW Women's title, but hasn't had any high-profile feud since. Most fans want to see Banks and Bayley feud with each other, and many expected this match to happen at WrestleMania 36.

But, it seems like that may not happen and we could see a six-woman match for the SmackDown women's title. That match could be the perfect set-up for a feud between Banks and Bayley, where one of the two would turn on the other, and begin the eagerly awaited feud.

Banks could very well get a push as Bayley may drop the title at WrestleMania or after the marquee show. This is a mouthwatering feud that should happen in 2020, and one that has been in the making for months and years!
