Liv Morgan
Liv Morgan has garnered a devoted fanbase due to her hard work and determination, despite facing setbacks from injuries and limited opportunities in WWE’s predominantly male-driven roster. While the company has made strides in diversifying its representation, women wrestlers still struggle to secure prominent spots on the card, especially without championship matches or grudge bouts. Morgan’s absence from WrestleMania 40, particularly with her beef with Rhea Ripley, has left her fans disappointed and questioning the decision-making process.
Despite not having a formal match scheduled, Liv Morgan has been thrust into the spotlight much like Nia Jax, thanks to her involvement with Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch on the Road to WrestleMania. While she may not have a defined role in any particular contest, fans are hopeful that she will still play a significant part in the title bout between Ripley and Lynch.
Shinsuke Nakamura
Shinsuke Nakamura’s journey in WWE has been marked by ups and downs. Despite multiple world championship challenges, he has yet to clinch the title. While he boasts a former intercontinental championship reign, he often finds himself overlooked in storylines.
With no ongoing rivalries, there’s a possibility Nakamura might miss out on WrestleMania 40—a disappointing prospect considering his recent improvements. Over the years, his presentation has significantly evolved, especially with the opportunity to cut promos in Japanese, showcasing his immense charisma.
While Nakamura has been portrayed as a formidable threat to the roster, his recent feuds with Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, and Sami Zayn have all concluded with the opposing babyfaces emerging victorious.
His former rivals will all play major roles at WrestleMania, but it seems likely Nakamura will sit at home that weekend.
Rey Mysterio
Rey Mysterio continues to be a revered figure in WWE, gracing television screens weekly with his awe-inspiring performances. As the leader of the resurrected Latino World Order, he has solidified his status as the head of the most beloved stable in WWE.
It comes as a surprise that Mysterio’s WrestleMania XL appearance hasn’t been confirmed yet. Initially expected to face Santos Escobar in a singles match, plans shifted to feature the showdown on SmackDown instead.
While a clash between LWO and Legado Del Fantasma seems inevitable at The Show of Shows, the specifics remain uncertain. WWE must ensure this storyline remains a focal point for WrestleMania. Not only does Mysterio deserve another moment in the spotlight, but Escobar’s recent heel persona also warrants a prominent role on the grand stage.
Dominik Mysterio
The Judgment Day has undeniably propelled Rhea Ripley to the forefront of women’s wrestling, but the rise of Dominik Mysterio stands as another notable achievement.
Breaking free from the shadow of his legendary father, Rey Mysterio, Dirty Dom has carved out a compelling niche as a memorable midcard villain.
While he has been instrumental in supporting Ripley, Finn Bálor, and Damian Priest in their title pursuits, Dominik has rightfully earned his own spotlight at WrestleMania.
However, recent developments on SmackDown suggest that his WrestleMania plans may diverge from The Judgment Day’s trajectory. By inserting himself into his father’s affairs once more, Dom could be positioning himself for a faction warfare storyline, possibly aligning with Legado World Order.
With the addition of Andrade, who has a brewing rivalry with Dominik, WWE could assemble a formidable lineup of talent for this year’s ‘Mania, promising an electrifying showcase.
Bianca Belair
No wrestler in WWE embodies the essence of WrestleMania quite like Bianca Belair. With an undefeated streak spanning over three years at The Show of Shows, she has cemented her legacy as a marquee performer on the grandest stage of them all.
Belair’s WrestleMania performances have been nothing short of spectacular. Her encounters with Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch stand as timeless classics in women’s wrestling, while her showdown with Asuka last year showcased her unparalleled athleticism and skill.
Despite her illustrious track record, it’s surprising that The EST of WWE has yet to be officially announced for WrestleMania. However, given her recent alliance with Naomi on SmackDown against Damage CTRL, it’s only a matter of time before she makes her presence felt at the event, likely teaming up to dismantle the formidable heel stable.
