WrestleMania 35: 5 surprise Superstars we don't want to see at WrestleMania 35

Enter caption

WrestleMania is the most important PPV in WWE's calendar, and this year's WrestleMania, WrestleMania 35, comes to us from New Jersey, on April 7, 2019.

The Show of Shows is all about making a grand spectacle, with incredible pyro, huge crowds, and, of course, exciting action in the ring. WWE pulls out all the stops for WrestleMania, and apart from the Superstars from RAW, SmackDown, and NXT, we also get to witness past Superstars and Hall of Famers, as well as surprising introductions to the WWE, like Nicholas did last year, when he tag teamed with Braun Strowman and won the RAW Tag Team titles.

But, these moves may not always work in WWE's favour, and fans may not buy into it. Here are 5 surprise Superstars we don't want to see at WrestleMania 35:


#1 The Undertaker

The Undertaker is, arguably, one of the most important Superstars in WrestleMania history, with an enviable WrestleMania record of 24 wins and 2 losses.

'Taker hasn't been seen on WWE television since the Crown Jewel PPV, and WWE have not dropped any hint of him returning anytime soon.

Despite Undertaker having an incredible record in WrestleMania, I don't think he should play a part in this year's show. Fans are still unhappy with how he was used in last year's WrestleMania, where he accepted John Cena's challenge only during the event.

That story leading up to WrestleMania was one that lacked imagination and demeaned the status of both 'Taker and Cena. The Phenom should sit this one out, and perhaps return next year, when he officially retires. and also enters the WWE Hall of Fame.

#2 Big Show

Big Show, like The Undertaker, hasn't been on WWE television since late last year after breaking up with The Bar on SmackDown, but the 7-foot tall Superstar is still a member of the WWE roster.

Big Show is not done with WWE yet and we could see him further down the road, where he will perhaps have one last run as a wrestler, but his return should not happen at WrestleMania.

If 'Show does return at WrestleMania 35, he will most likely be a part of the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which he won in 2015 at WrestleMania 31. The Battle Royal should push and give a spot to an up-and-coming star rather than a veteran like Big Show, and we hope that Big Show returns on the RAW or SmackDown after WrestleMania.

The last time Big Show appeared in WrestleMania was at WrestleMania 33, where he was one of the many to compete in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

#3 Nicholas

One booking decision from WrestleMania 34, a year ago, that was criticized and condemned by everybody was the addition of Nicholas, a 10-year-old fan, who was chosen by Braun Strowman to partner him to take on The Bar.

Strowman and Nicholas won, and the latter became the youngest champion in the history of WWE. This was a ridiculous decision, to say the least, as there were so many deserving Superstars who would have wanted that WrestleMania moment, that they had been striving hard for.

WWE could maybe revisit it again this time around, but we don't think it will be a good idea to do it all over again. And with Strowman in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, the attention could be solely on Strowman and Nicholas.

#4 Bella Twins

The Bella Twins, Nikki Bella and Brie Bella, announced their retirement from WWE a while ago, but this past week they teased a returned to the ring once again.

At WrestleMania 35, we are going to see the Women's Tag Team titles defended for the first time at WrestleMania, as Bayley and Sasha Banks put their titles on the line against Beth Phoenix and Natalya, The IIconics, and Nia Jax and Tamina.

These four teams could put on a good show, and with eight women already in the ring, the addition of two more women to the mix, The Bellas, would not make the match interesting. Also, The Bellas shoehorned into a WrestleMania match just for their star power is not what the Women's Revolution is about; they will have to earn their opportunity and put on an exciting match for the WWE Universe.

The introduction of The Bellas would also be forced and not make for a compelling story.

#5 Hulk Hogan

Since being reinstated into the WWE, and then making his first appearance at Crown Jewel PPV last year, there have been several rumours that WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, could make a return to the WWE.

At Crown Jewel, he received a huge applause from the Saudi Arabian crowd; but the same cannot be expected from the New Jersey audience at WrestleMania 35, and any booing could make it an embarrassing affair for everyone involved.

There have been rumours that Hogan could return at WrestleMania 35 as the WWE are reportedly reaching out to past Superstars, including Stone Cold Steve Austin, to possibly have a segment on the show.

Hogan is a legend thanks to everything he has done in the pro wrestling business, but perhaps it is too soon to reintroduce him on a big stage like WrestleMania 35 after the racist things that he said.
