5 WWE superstars who Vince McMahon has no plans for at WrestleMania 35

It's the most exciting time of the year, and we're less than a month away from the show of shows - WrestleMania 35. This time, not only is the build extremely exciting, but the card is super stacked too.

There are hardly any underwhelming matches present, and WWE has decided to make the best use of part-timers this year. With legends like The Undertaker seemingly set to miss WrestleMania, what's most exciting about the year is that you know there's going to be some major changes happening the night after it finishes.

However, the sad reality is that while WWE tries to get every superstar possible on the card, the reality is that not everyone can get a spot on the main show in marquee matches. However, it's still a shame that certain superstars won't be getting spots after impressing for a while.

Here are five superstars who Vince McMahon definitely has no plans for at WrestleMania.


#5. Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss takes the stage to host “A Moment of Bliss.”

This one is definitely more of a surprise, but a welcome one in the eyes of some fans. It's similar to a couple of years ago when WWE really had no plans for The New Day, so they decided to make them the hosts of WrestleMania.

Similarly, Alexa Bliss will host WrestleMania 35 this year. The previous two years, i.e, her first two WrestleMania's, she was the defending champion walking in, though she lost the title on both occasions.

Since losing the RAW Women's Championship at SummerSlam 2018, she was sidelined for a while with injuries, and though she did make her return to the ring, it just isn't her turn in the main picture, and there seem to be no plans for her in the main title scene nor the tag title scene.

That being said, we believe she'll do a great job as the host.

#4. Dean Ambrose

Before Dean Ambrose can address the invitation, though, Elias spoils the moment.

This one is surprising as well as understandable. It's surprising because you would think that WWE would have a farewell match for Dean Ambrose given that he's leaving the company a few days later.

However, they probably feel that there won't be much consequence of having him on the card, and he may be stuck in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. However, it's still a shame that there's no real match for him, because he put in a lot of years for the company and was the iron man of WWE at one point of time.

He certainly deserves a farewell, even if it means losing at the grandest stage of them all. While he doesn't have the best record on the show of shows, he still deserves a good way to leave. The best match for him would have been a friendly competition match against Roman Reigns, similar to Rey Mysterio-Eddie Guerrero at WrestleMania 21.

#3. Elias

Elias has been drifting back and forth for a while now. While he had a nice couple of months as a babyface, WWE probably felt as though his gimmick was naturally a heel one, and they turned him back again.

Last year at WrestleMania, he promised the "greatest performance of all time", which ended up being an Attitude Adjustment from a frustrated John Cena. This year, it seems to be about the same, and we can expect him to come out for a performance and perhaps be interfered by a legend.

We understand that there's no place on the card for him, but putting him in a multi-man match atleast would probably be suitable. He too has worked very hard to earn the spot, and while he would love to sing a song, chances are that he'd probably like to wrestle on the grandest stage of them all as well.

#2. Finn Balor

It was just some time ago that Finn Balor was Intercontinental Champion. In fact, he won his first championship after over two years since his Universal title win. Why he's been so absent from any title picture is a mystery, but either way, he deserves better.

The Intercontinental Championship has just been flip-flopping from superstar to superstar since December, and it's a shame that Balor isn't walking into WrestleMania as Intercontinental Champion.

It's clear that yet again, WWE has no plans for him whatsoever. It was just a couple of months ago when he was facing Brock Lesnar, but he's nowhere on that level now. Most likely, he'll be stuck in a multi-man match for the Intercontinental Championship, and it could presumably be a ladder match.

It's a shame because he was rumored to be facing The Undertaker at one point. It looks like The Demon King won't debut at WrestleMania any time soon.

#1. Braun Strowman

For the third year in a row, Braun Strowman's WrestleMania spot does no justice to the year he's had prior. It seems like WWE loves to push Braun Strowman, all until it comes to actually winning the big one.

He had a great 2018, but it was marred due to the fact that he not only failed his Money in the Bank cash in, but he lost to Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel, being defeated by him again in yet another unsuccessful pursuit of the Universal Championship.

He's a big enough star that they keep him on television, but otherwise, there seems to be no actual long-term plan for him. Hopefully, it won't be one of those cases where they pull the trigger on him too late.

They've had a minimum of four to five different opportunities to pull the trigger on him while he was hot, but failed to do so.
