WrestleMania 34 is just three days away, and the WWE has put on the best match card possible for the event. With a number of returns and shocks expected, the 34th annual edition of the flagship show has all the potential to be the best WrestleMania in history.

With all the Championships in WWE being defended, a number of first-time contenders have the opportunity to make a mark in the company by winning the title at the 'grandest stage of them all'.

Here are five wrestlers who can win their first main-roster title at the 'Show of Shows'.


#5 Mustafa Ali / Cedric Alexander

Championship contesting for - Cruiserweight Championship

Mustafa Ali and Cedric Alexander are two of the best performers on 205 Live. Both rose through the ranks in WWE with their participation in the Cruiserweight Classic and caught the attention of officials with their performances. Now the two friends are set to face each other in the finals of the Cruiserweight Tournament for the vacant title.

Both Ali and Alexander have never won the Cruiserweight Championship. No matter who wins the match this Sunday, the fans are sure to get a technical masterpiece from the two high-flyers. A potential 'match of the night' candidate, the championship victory at the grandest stage will be a huge boost for either man's career.

#4 Nia Jax

An easy win for Nia?

Championship Contesting for - Raw Women's Championship

Opponent: Alexa Bliss

It's a shame that someone like Nia Jax has not yet won a Championship in WWE. Though she is booked as an unstoppable force, Jax always ends up a step short when it comes to title matches.

With her power, impressive look and valued family lineage, she has all the tools required to dominate the Women’s Division.

Her streak of bad booking might be coming to an end this Sunday, as she faces her friend turned foe, Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women's Championship. A win will have Jax finally getting her much-deserved WrestleMania moment.

#3 Asuka

Can the streak prolong?

Championship Contesting for - SmackDown Women's Championship

Opponent: Charlotte Flair

Asuka is no stranger to winning high profile titles in WWE. In April 2016, she defeated Bayley to win the NXT Women's Championship for the first time. Her reign lasted over 500 days before she relinquished the title due to a collarbone injury.

Asuka's main roster run has been equally dominant as she won the inaugural Women's Royal Rumble Match, and challenged the SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte at WrestleMania.

Asuka is the favourite to win at The Showcase of the Immortals, as the longest undefeated streak in WWE history doesn't seem to be coming to an end anytime soon. The Empress vs The Queen is sure to steal the show and has all the potential to go down as one of the best women's matches in WrestleMania history.

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura

Can Nakamura dethrone The Phenomenal One?

Championship Contesting for - WWE Championship

Opponent: AJ Styles

Shinsuke Nakamura was a two-time NXT Champion before making his SmackDown Live debut. Unlike his NXT stint, Nakamura didn't have many meaningful feuds on the main roster, before winning the Men's Royal Rumble Match earlier this year.

Nakamura and AJ Styles are set to face each other for the first time in WWE as they battle it out for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 34. The dream match will surely see some jaw-dropping sequences, with the crowd chants possibly being split for both Styles and Nakamura.

The Artist is one of the best technical wrestlers in the world. With his charismatic personality and popularity among the WWE Universe, the company might not like to book him on the losing side. Also, this year being his first WrestleMania, might just see Nakamura winning the gold at the 'grandest stage of them all'.

#1 Braun Strowman

Championship Contesting for - Raw Tag-Team Championship

Opponents: The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro)

It's a surprising fact that Braun Strowman has not won a single title in his three-year career with WWE. Probably the most improved and consistent performer today, Strowman has made a name for himself by being a perfect blend of strength and agility.

The ex-member of The Wyatt Family has everything required to be a champion in WWE. A talented in-ring worker, Braun is great on the mic as well and gets over with the fans easily.

Strowman is scheduled to face the team of Sheamus and Cesaro for the Raw Tag-Team Championship. His partner is still unknown, but with his current momentum going into the match, The Monster among Men is almost sure to walk out of WrestleMania 34 as the new Tag-Team Champion.
