WrestleMania 35: 3 surprising superstars who could obstruct Seth Rollins' Road To WrestleMania next

Seth Rollins will clash with the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar, in a championship match on April 7, 2019, at WrestleMania 35. Whether this match will main event the show or not isn't known yet, but with the way WWE Creative has built the conflict, it seems like the RAW Women’s Championship match between Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair will close the Show of Shows.

Brock Lesnar has been away from WWE programming for quite a while now. Though he is expected to appear on RAW next Monday, chances are high he might appear via satellite. Vince McMahon has always trolled the fans with Brock Lesnar’s appearances, as this draws nuclear heat towards the Beast Incarnate.

This formula has always worked and WWE Creative will apply it once again in this rivalry to get Seth Rollins more over with the crowd. Also, they will have Rollins fight with random superstars on RAW to kill time, just like they had Shelton Benjamin challenge Seth last Monday.

I expect more superstars to obstruct Rollins’ Road to WrestleMania 35. Here are the 3 superstars who can be the next obstacles in Seth Rollins’ Road to WrestleMania 35.


#1 Rezar

Akam is injured, which has forced WWE to keep Rezar off TV as well

Rezar has been off WWE TV since the Royal Rumble kick-off show where he took part in a strange tag team match. Rezar teamed up with Scott Dawson to fight the then RAW tag team champions, Bobby Roode and Chad Gable, in a title match for no reason.

While we had seen the Bludgeon Brothers also stay off TV because of an injury to Rowan. It is difficult to book matches with one member of any tag team because if the fit superstar rises in the singles division, it becomes difficult to shift him back to the tag team division when his partner recovers.

Thus, to use Rezar on WWE TV, he can be inserted in a match with Seth Rollins, as this match will have no future impact. Also, this contest could kill time and serve the purpose of being an obstacle in Rollins’ pursuit of the Universal title.

#2 Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt is reportedly cleared to return to in-ring action, but the WWE Creative has no plans for him. Thus, he has not returned to WWE TV yet. Many fans believe that it would be better if he is called back after WrestleMania. But I think he should return to the RAW before WrestleMania 35 and have a match with Seth Rollins.

With this being the go-home show, Brock Lesnar will return and destroy Seth Rollins, leading to a disqualification finish in the match between Wyatt and Seth.

Rollins will win the Universal Championship at WrestleMania, and next night, Wyatt can send out a challenge to him saying he had not defeated him in their previous encounter.

This will ignite the rivalry between Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt for the Universal Championship. The Eater of Worlds had also defeated Rollins in their last pay-per-view encounter at the Great Balls of Fire show. This feud will also open doors for a possible Wyatt Family vs the Shield confrontation.

#3 Jinder Mahal

The man who was supposed to be the Beast Master at Survivor Series 2017, the former WWE Champion, the Modern Day Maharaja, Jinder Mahal, has been directionless on RAW. I hope he switches to SmackDown Live in the 2019 Superstar Shake-up.

Nevertheless, he is expected to stay on RAW at least until WrestleMania. His last feud was with Roman Reigns after which WWE Creative punished him by transforming him back into a jobber.

However, WWE needs a mid-card heel right now, and thus they may push Jinder Mahal once again. They can kick off his push by having him take Seth Rollins to the limit on the Road to WrestleMania 35.

WWE can use the same reason - Heyman offering Mahal a few bucks to beat the heck out of Seth Rollins on RAW and have Jinder clash with the Architect. This could help both Rollins and Mahal emerge as winners (Rollins would win the match, Mahal would get some much-needed TV time).
