WrestleMania 34 is tomorrow and things are looking bright. With a fantastic card, it has the potential to be the best in recent memory.
That doesn't mean WWE, in their usual desperation to create swerves, no matter how unwanted, can't screw it up.

WrestleMania should act as a season finale of sorts, with mostly satisfying payoffs as the slate starts clean. Here's how WWE can make that happen.
#1 Nia Jax must squash Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss has reigned supreme over the Raw women's division for the last year and over the SmackDown division for the six months before that.
WWE's mean girl has humiliated almost everyone that's encountered her, with not even the undefeated Asuka being entirely immune.
Nia Jax has suffered the worst humiliation of all. In a story whose caliber exceeds its performers, WWE has taken advantage of a human universal.
Everyone is insecure over some aspect of their body. Jax, who was called "big and dumb," among other things, is looking for revenge.
She must get it and must get it decisively. The Irresistible Force needs to squash Bliss in five minutes or less, not only because the match will, to put it bluntly, suck if it goes on much longer than that, but also to send a message.
The bad guy has to get theirs at some point, and in Bliss' case, it's long overdue. If The Goddess makes Jax look weak in the match, or worse, if she wins, the message is sent that the heel was right and that Jax really is as dumb as she is big.
It would be the exact same case of Bayley having what it takes, Sasha Banks being a Superstar who could never defend her title, and Mickie James being old.
This needs to be the time where Bliss' mouth finally writes a check that her body can't cash. Anything else would completely destroy Jax's momentum when she's already had numerous high-profile losses.
The prospects for Jax's reign look grim, as she still hasn't shown much improvement in any area, but having her lose here would be much worse. The division needs a refresh, no matter the form it takes.
#2 Carmella must not interfere in the Charlotte vs. Asuka match
One of the most hyped matches on the card is the SmackDown women's title match between Charlotte Flair and Asuka.
WWE loves touting its women's revolution, but this match legitimately feels like a big deal, rather than a PR stunt.
Though it won't happen, not many people would bat an eye if it was the extravaganza's main event, which was unthinkable for a women's match even two years ago, and it definitely is a trial balloon for a women's main event as early as next year.
This all stems from Charlotte and Asuka being two of the three most dominant forces in the women's division, along with Bliss, and unlike The Goddess, they're fantastic wrestlers who can put on a classic match if only given the opportunity.
WWE did a fantastic job setting it up by keeping the two separate for six months and having The Empress win the Royal Rumble.
Now they need to follow through by giving these two the opportunity. They need only the proper time and placement on the card, along with one other thing.
Carmella must stay away from the match.
She's teased her looming Money in the Bank potential over the past few weeks, but the "Princess of Staten Island" doesn't feel like wrestling royalty and will ruin this match.
It's a match which has every chance of being the best women's match in WrestleMania, and possibly even all of WWE history, if only the company lets it, advertising once and for all the triumph of its women's division.
That's why she must stay away. If WWE wants her to cash in on one of these two, she should only do so after the match ends, and frankly, needs to lose after cashing in.
In no way is she in a position to beat Asuka or Charlotte. The only payoff will be heated which will dissipate in a few weeks since Carmella's shown no ability to captivate fans' interest for long.
#3 The Big Show must not be Braun Strowman's partner
The hottest story in WWE in the past year has been the rise of Braun Strowman, and it's a sacrilege that he isn't in the main event, but we are where we are.
We still don't know who his partner is, but if it's someone that's been rumored, Strowman's heat will be on life support.
The Big Show signed a new contract and returned to induct Mark Henry into the WWE Hall of Fame last night. He's been heavily rumoured to be the mystery man.
Frankly, that would suck. We've seen Big Show in numerous tag teams before, giant ones among them, and it's just played out.
The Monster Among Men thrives on freshness. He's as hot as he is because he does something new and outlandish almost every week.
The Big Show as a tag team champion is neither new nor outlandish.
Give Strowman Elias, for a weird contrast between the monster and the roving, insulting musician. The concerts would make for instant hilarity every single week.
Give him Samoa Joe, who will be hot off his return and, though it wouldn't be innovative, the team would have a much more badass aura than it would with the partner I dread.
Give Strowman James Ellsworth, for an even bigger contrast and basically the illusion of the monster holding the tag titles alone.
Hell, actually let him hold the tag titles alone, as should have been the story all along, and let him defend in memorable handicap matches.
Just don't give him The Big Show!
And don't give him Big Cass either, who is even less compelling.
#4 AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura must be given a long time
AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura should have 25 or so minutes to put on the clinic we know they're capable of.
Anything less than 20 feels like a waste of the "dream match" that WWE has hyped so much.
There are so many matches on the card that each one might not get the appropriate time, but this one should take priority over most others.
It's for the WWE Championship and it's the match many fans expect to be the best of the night. If the match can't have that shine if it doesn't have the appropriate time or place on the card.
Coming after the mixed tag might be the best option, in a 25-minute spot sandwiched between another match that will be lower in work rate quality.
#5 The Deadman must finally rest in peace
There still has been no answer from The Undertaker to John Cena's challenge, but no one expects that The Phenom won't be in New Orleans tomorrow night.
The build has gone from intriguing to annoying, with the long-winded promos having no payoff, despite their excellent delivery.
It's been much the same story for the past few years. Every year at this time, rumors of Undertaker's retirement are rampant.
Last year looked more convincing than ever that they finally came true, but WWE has decided to go back on the sendoff.
I'm sick of it all. The constant chatter has been a distraction and time-sink in the programming which could be giving more shine to other guys.
The build to this year's match has been emblematic of the problem for the past few years. As this year's card proves, WrestleMania will be more than fine without The Deadman.
This match with Cena needs to be the final, definitive, end. Announce it beforehand and the match will be more special than its work rate will give it credit for.
It will be a great way to send a legend out on a note that's been higher than the norm for the last few years. Think Ric Flair exactly 10 years ago.
