Remember Fandango's upset win over Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 29?

With less than 12 hours away, WrestleMania 34 is set to be the grandest and most thrilling WWE event of all time. WWE has not disappointed its fans, as a star-studded match card is ready with high profile matches like AJ Styles versus Shinsuke Nakamura, and Roman Reigns versus Brock Lesnar.

Every year, one gets to witness at least one upset that was not on anyone's mind. Whether it's Fandango defeating Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 29, or Reigns retiring The Undertaker last year, there's always a performer who is booked to become an overnight superstar.

Here are five wrestlers who can do the unthinkable and cause a shocking upset at WrestleMania 34.


#5 Zack Ryder

Another Mania, another upset?

Zack Ryder became an overnight star when he won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 32. A premature celebration by The Miz caused Ryder to capitalize and win his first IC title in WWE. 'The Long Island Iced-Z' is set for another endeavour as he and 29 other wrestlers battle it out to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. 

With names like Elias, Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin, and Matt Hardy already announced for the match, the chances for Ryder to go all the way seems very bleak. Considering his current run as a jobber, nobody would be expecting Zack to go all the way, and win the match.

That's where the element of surprise comes in. His victory at WrestleMania will be less of an upset, but more like a long-awaited saving grace.

Ryder's an underrated workhorse who deserves the attention at the grandest stage, and a monumental Battle Royal victory might act as a push for his future career in WWE. Week in and week out, Zack Ryder has been a consistent performer, and it's time the WWE rewards him for his remarkable in-ring abilities.
