10 WWE Superstars with NO WrestleMania 33 plans
The injury to Seth Rollins has had a chaotic domino effect on the WrestleMania card, taking away the Seth Rollins vs Triple H match and possibly the AJ Styles vs Shane McMahon match. There is also talk that John Cena’s mixed tag may be switched to Cena vs Samoa Joe, to improve the number of high quality of matches on the card.
As it stands, the rumored WrestleMania 33 card appears to be:
WWE Universal Title Match
- Goldberg (Champion) vs Brock Lesnar
- WWE Title Match
- Bray Wyatt (Champion) vs Randy Orton
- The Undertaker vs Roman Reigns
- Triple H vs Shane McMahon
- Kevin Owens vs Chris Jericho
- John Cena & Nikki Bella vs Miz & Maryse
- WWE Intercontinental Ladder Match
- Ambrose vs Corbin vs TBA vs TBA vs TBA vs TBA
- Big Show vs Shaq
- WWE Raw Women’s Title Match
- Charlotte vs Nia Jaxx vs Bayley vs Sasha Banks
- The Andre the Giant Battle Royal
- WWE RAW Tag Team Titles
- Gallows & Anderson vs Enzo & Cass
- WWE Smackdown Women’s Title Match
- Alexa Bliss vs Mickie James
- WWE Smackdown Tag Team Title Match
- American Alpha Vs TBC
As you can see, the card is pretty much full, with some major players missing. The Ladder Match is likely to be filled by Smackdown mid-carders, such as Dolph Ziggler, Kalisto, Luke Harper and Apollo Crews.
While American Alpha will probably face the Usos, as they are unlikely to be in another multi-man tag match, after already being booked in one at the Elimination Chamber. The Raw tag titles could be defended in a multi-man match, but regardless, the current plan is seeming to have Enzo and Cass win the titles.
Let’s have a look at the 10 most significant names missing from the card and where they might fit in on the card, if AT ALL.
#10 AJ Styles
The biggest omission from the list and seemingly the main casualty of the Seth Rollins injury, other than Rollins himself. It’s hard to see where AJ fits in. Vince McMahon seems set on doing Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt, so changing to Orton vs Styles or booking a triple-threat, doesn’t seem viable. AJ has just come off a WWE Title run, so being added to the Intercontinental Ladder match would be a huge step-down and a waste of AJ.
The Battle Royal would be even worse. My idea would be to book a RAW vs Smackdown match, where Daniel Bryan and Mick Foley would both pick a representative for a WrestleMania match. Smackdown would opt for AJ and Raw could opt for Finn Balor, as AJ vs Samoa Joe would be two heels. Raw could also opt for Sami Zayn.
