It's officially WrestleMania day, it's the day that millions of wrestling fans wait for all year round whilst WWE Superstars have been preparing for today for most of their lives.
This year's WrestleMania is the biggest the company has ever created, with 16 matches, the MetLife Stadium sold out and all eyes on the Women's Division as the company makes history one more time, there is something very special about tonight, but whilst the main event matches are in the spotlight there are a number of other matches that need attention as well.
Wins and losses are a huge deal in WWE and wins at WrestleMania are the things that build legacies, just ask The Undertaker, so here are just five superstars who need a win as part of tonight's show.
#5. Kofi Kingston
Whilst many of the names on this list would be happy to have a career at the length of Kofi Kingston's, this weekend Kingston has finally been given a shot that he has deserved for more than a decade.
Kingston originally wasn't supposed to be in the WWE Championship match, the WWE Universe has banded behind #KofiMania and pushed for Vince McMahon to give Kingston the chance to not only realize his dream but at least have a Championship match at WrestleMania.
As a long-tenured WWE athlete, Kingston was set for the main event push back in 2009 but issues with Randy Orton changed this and he's been coasting on the mid-card ever since. Kingston will go back to being one-third of The New Day if he's unsuccessful tonight, which is why he desperately needs to become WWE Champion so that he can push forward and show the world what he's capable of as the main Champion.
#4. Asuka
Asuka was the SmackDown Women's Champion two weeks ago and looking for a challenger heading into WrestleMania before Charlotte Flair took her Championship away and didn't even grant her a rematch.
Asuka's best hope now is her involvement in the Women's WrestleMania Battle Royal where she is seen as one of the favorites to pick up the victory. The Battle Royal is a stark contrast to the match that The Empress of Tomorrow should be having tonight, but if Asuka is looking to build any momentum towards her future then she needs to pick up the win the in Battle Royal and hope that will be enough to grant her a rematch for the title that she was screwed out of on SmackDown Live two weeks ago.
Vince McMahon seemingly doesn't rate Asuka, but the former Women's Champion's accolades speak for themselves.
#3. Finn Balor
Finn Balor challenges Bobby Lashley for the Intercontinental Championship tonight at WrestleMania which interestingly is the second year in a row that Balor has been relegated to the Intercontinental Championship match on the Grandest Stage of them All.
Balor is stuck in the mid-card right now which is why he needs to win back this title and get out of the current predicament that he's stuck in. As a former and the first ever Universal Champion, many hoped that he would be facing The Undertaker at this year's WrestleMania because he deserved a push of that magnitude.
Balor is bringing The Demon to WrestleMania, which is a shock since he's already shown that he can defeat Lashley in a handicap match alone, so hopefully, this means that the feud between these two is over tonight in New Jersey.
#2. Rusev
Rusev challenges for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships tonight at WrestleMania in a fatal four-way match where he teams with Shinsuke Nakamura in the hopes he can overcome the odds. When it comes to losing streaks, Rusev's is only second to Curt Hawkins, but his is greater at pay-per-views since his last win came all the way back in 2017.
Rusev has changed a lot since the days of the Bulgarian Brute which could be why there hasn't been much of a push in Rusev's direction over the past year, but WrestleMania could change all of his fortunes and tonight he could be walking out as SmackDown Tag Team Champion whilst his wife is enjoying her victory in the Women's WrestleMania Battle Royal. After all, anything can happen on the Grandest Stage Of Them All.
#1. Curt Hawkins
Curt Hawkins is the holder of the longest losing streak in WWE at present, he hasn't won a match in more than a year. Hawkins was hoped to be in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal tonight so that he could pick up a huge victory on his own but instead he will be teaming with Zack Ryder in the hopes that he can pick up a huge Championship victory.
Hawkins needs a boost like this at present and if he's able to dethrone the Raw Tag Team Champions then there will be a huge celebration in New Jersey tonight. The former Champion deserved much better when it comes to the build since it was only revealed on WWE.com following Raw.
This is perhaps the best that Hawkins can hope for at present, but if he doesn't win then hopefully this leads to a much bigger win at SummerSlam.
What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
