WWE WrestleMania 35: 11 Stars on Track to Have Their 1st 'Mania Moment

Virtually every professional wrestler sets out in the business with one goal in mind: to have a WrestleMania moment.

It is the biggest show in the industry, and if you can make it to the point where you are featured in some fashion, it is a testament to how much you matter, even if it's just once in your career.

Superstars like John Cena have a bunch of WrestleMania moments, while others are happy just to step foot in the ring and have their name announced.

While the card for WrestleMania 35 has not yet been fully finalized, there are already a handful of wrestlers who are being set up for their first moment at The Show of Shows come April 7 at MetLife Stadium.

Let's take a look at some of the Superstars to keep an eye on and predict how they may have the spotlight shined upon them at WrestleMania this year.

WrestleMania 35 won't be the first rodeo for Becky Lynch, as she's competed at the last three events, but this will be the biggest for her.

At WrestleMania 32, she was part of a Triple Threat match that highlighted Charlotte Flair more than anybody else. The following year, it was Naomi who won the SmackDown Women's Championship while The Irish Lass Kicker was just one of six in the match.

Last year, Lynch was lost in the shuffle as a participant in the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal—the match everyone is put in if they have nothing better to do.

This time around, though, The Man will be headlining in the main event for the Raw Women's Championship against Ronda Rousey and Flair. Not only that, she's also likely to win the match.

Capturing a title is a big enough jump above her previous three matches as it is, but making history in the process by closing out the show with her hand held high is something Lynch will be unable to top.

She'll never forget those other three years, but this particular moment will overshadow them to such a degree that if anybody asks her for the rest of her life what her true WrestleMania moment was, it will be this year's event.

For weeks, Lacey Evans has been coming out to walk down the ramp and do nothing else, which seems a waste of time but must be building to something.

WWE is running out of time to establish a No. 1 contender to the SmackDown Women's Championship and may fall back on the easy option of giving that spot to Evans in the hopes a relatively unknown challenger will be enticing enough for viewers, given the lack of other credible opponents for Asuka.

If that happens, there's a solid chance Evans walks away from WrestleMania with the title in her possession, if only for the sake of shocking the crowd and shaking things up. That would be quite a way to make her mark after doing nothing of value so far in 2019.

Even if that isn't the case, though, it's likely WWE will take 20 seconds out of the run time for WrestleMania to have her continue to do her shtick of walking out and posing in front of the crowd.

An underwhelming moment like that is still a moment and more than many other people get a chance to do.

The makeshift team of NXT Superstars Aleister Black and Ricochet have been impressive on both Raw and SmackDown since joining the main roster, where they've found their way into title contention.

The only reason they haven't captured the Raw Tag Team Championships yet is because of interference from Bobby Roode and Chad Gable, but it has been clear Black and Ricochet have what it takes to win the belts.

Nothing has been made official, but it seems the most likely match for Raw's tag titles at WrestleMania will be another contest between The Revival and Black and Ricochet, with or without other teams thrown in the mix.

Since the Superstar Shake-up is scheduled for two weeks after The Show of Shows, there's a good chance Ricochet and Black are successful in obtaining the titles and then making their transition to the main roster official with a firm placement on Raw as the champions.

In any case, this will be the first WrestleMania for both men, so they're sure to put on a fantastic performance no matter the result.

If The Revival are heading into WrestleMania as tag team champions, it will be the career highlight so far for the duo.

Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson haven't had the best of luck since joining the main roster, as both suffered injuries that halted their original push. It seemed WWE lost all faith in them and wasn't willing to invest in their future until recently.

They may be heading into a trap where they are just holding the titles to lose them at WrestleMania, but they will still be able to say they walked into the biggest event of the year as champions and will be determined to have a great performance.

Given their history of quality matches, that may well happen, particularly if they are up against opponents who are equally as talented in the ring as they are, such as Ricochet and Aleister Black.

Whether they are relegated to the kickoff or not, don't count out The Revival having the sleeper match of the night.

Two years ago, Samoa Joe made his main roster debut by attacking Seth Rollins on behalf of Triple H. He was promptly ignored entirely and skipped over for WrestleMania 33, where he didn't even compete in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

Prior to WrestleMania 34, he suffered an injury that put him on the shelf and unable to compete on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

It seems that horrible luck has passed and The Samoan Submission Machine will be able to not only compete at WrestleMania, but he'll also be holding the United States Championship.

While there's a chance he faces someone like Rey Mysterio, there are plenty of signs that point to John Cena being his opponent, which is a match fans have wanted to see for many years.

Since Cena is a part-time star nowadays, it's also likely Joe will retain the championship, which makes his first WrestleMania even grander.

Drew McIntyre has competed at WrestleMania several times dating back to his first appearance in the 2010 Money in the Bank ladder match, but he's always been just one name in a group rather than the focal point of his segment.

The Scot has been in Battle Royals most of the time, but that doesn't seem to be the case this year.

Based off the way he was booked on Monday's Raw, McIntyre will be laser-focused on Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose in whatever match WWE decides to book regarding that feud.

Even if it's on the quicker side and overshadowed by other bouts, this WrestleMania will be a bigger deal in comparison to all of his other performances, as he's the one driving the storyline forward.

It's nowhere near the prestige of a world-title match, but there's always next year.

It's doubtful Lio Rush will be performing in a match at WrestleMania this year, but he's all but guaranteed to be ringside on behalf of Bobby Lashley for whatever the Intercontinental Championship match will be.

In that regard, The Man of the Hour is set to have some of the spotlight on him, even though it will be in a managerial sense.

Since it's WrestleMania, he'll probably get involved in the action at some point and either interfere to give Lashley the win or suffer a beating from the champion's opponent as punishment for getting in the way.

Whatever the outcome, it's a big step up from what Rush was doing this time last year, which was hanging around waiting to be used in NXT.

At the beginning of last year, Buddy Murphy transitioned from NXT to 205 Live and made the biggest improvement to his career in the process.

He missed out on a shot at the Cruiserweight Championship match for WrestleMania, but later in 2018, he managed to capture the title anyway at Super Show-Down.

Now, he'll be the one defending the belt at The Show of Shows against either Cedric Alexander or Tony Nese, who are in the finals of another tournament to crown a No. 1 contender.

Between those two options, the smart bet is on Nese beating Alexander, as not only is he the guy who has been partnered up with Murphy for the past year, but he's also a New Yorker.

That would mean the Cruiserweight Championship match on this year's kickoff will be a contest between two people who have never competed at WrestleMania.

Both will do everything they can to make the 205 Live brand proud by trying to put on the best match of the night and they may well accomplish that task, given enough time as the opener of the show.

In any case, simply performing in front of the immense audience on April 7 will be a moment both have dreamed of for their entire lives.
