WrestleMania 36 is just a week away as the WWE Universe gears up to witness the first WrestleMania at the Performance Center. While the company has promised that the event will take place at multiple locations, there will be no live audience for the show because of the COVID-19 outbreak in the world.
This year’s Showcase of Immortals differs greatly from others, as the show will go on for two days. Some marquee matches on the show include Brock Lesnar vs Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship and 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt vs John Cena.
Due to the last-minute changes, WWE had to rush some feuds and thus, some WrestleMania matches have little build-up this year. There are no Battle Royals and as a result, many mid-card Superstars have received an opportunity to take part in a singles match at the grand event.
Here are the 7 WWE Superstars who will probably make their singles debut at WrestleMania this year.
#7 Sami Zayn
Starting with the confirmed names first, WWE Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn will wrestle his first singles WrestleMania match this year against Daniel Bryan. The former NXT Champion had been a part of multi-man matches at the past WrestleManias. He made his debut in a seven-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 32.
Next, he took part in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal before teaming up Kevin Owens to take on the pair of Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 34. He missed the 35th edition of the event and thus will make his singles WrestleMania debut in 2020.
#6 Rhea Ripley
NXT Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley will put her title on the line against the 2020 Women’s Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair in the first-ever NXT Women’s title match WrestleMania. Ripley has received solid booking from the Creative, and she even survived the traditional Survivor Series triple threat tag team elimination match last year.
Ripley has never been a part of a WrestleMania sho. Hence, she will not only wrestle her first singles WrestleMania match but she will also make her WrestleMania debut next weekend.
#5 Shayna Baszler
After destroying the entire women’s division of the Red brand, 'The Queen of Spades' Shayna Baszler will lock horns with the RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 36. Baszler had earlier defeated Lynch and Bayley in a triple threat match at Survivor Series 2019.
She has gotten the better of The Man multiple times on WWE TV. Just like Rhea Ripley, Baszler will make her WrestleMania debut and wrestle her first singles WrestleMania match at the same event.
#4 Aleister Black
Unlike the last two entries from NXT, Aleister Black has been a part of WrestleMania earlier. He teamed up with Ricochet at last year’s event to take on the Usos, the team of Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura and The Bar in a fatal four-way SmackDown Tag Team Championships match.
Although they could not win the match, Black and Ricochet impressed everyone with their terrific in-ring performances. While the One and Only is unlikely to feature at this year’s WrestleMania, his former tag team partner will go head to head with the All-Mighty Bobby Lashley in a singles match where Lana will be in the latter's corner.
#3 Elias
Former 4-time 24/7 Champion Elias will make his singles WrestleMania debut in 2020 as he will meet King Corbin at the Grandest Stage of Them All. This rivalry started just a few weeks ago, however, the fans enjoyed the recent segment featuring the two Superstars on SmackDown.
It seems like the two NXT graduates have great chemistry between themselves and their WrestleMania match should be a treat to watch. Elias has earlier conducted a live concert at WrestleMania where John Cena interrupted him as the Doctor of Thuganomics.
#2 Otis
One half of the popular SmackDown tag team Heavy Machinery, Otis will probably take part in his first singles WrestleMania match in 2020 after rival Dolph Ziggler challenged him to a match. Otis, who had earlier been a part of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal match at WrestleMania, will feature in a marquee bout this year.
Unlike some matches, this feud has received a lot of build-up and even the fans are heavily invested in the love triangle between Otis, Mandy Rose, and Ziggler. It will be interesting to see how this match ends.
#1 Dolph Ziggler
It is rather surprising that despite being an integral part of WWE for many years, Dolph Ziggler has never been booked to take part in a singles match at WrestleMania. Two years ago, the rumors were rife that the Showoff would have his first one-on-one match at WrestleMania 34 against Shane McMahon. However, the same did not materialize.
Now that Ziggler has challenged Otis to a match at WrestleMania 36, it is likely that the two Superstars will clash in a singles bout. Unfortunately for the fans of Ziggler, he may end up losing this match.
