Who deserves a Wrestlemania match

[Stu]

This thread is to discuss those who aren't guaranteed a Wrestlemania match, but certainly deserve one. So as much as AJ Styles deserves a match, he's not exactly the type of guy I'm thinking of for this discussion. My examples include:

Heath Slater. He's been with the company for a long time and made a bunch of silly gimmicks work. This year, however, he was involved in a popular angle that got him over with fans, had him on television for weeks and just made him relevant.

Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss. Let's not kid ourselves. We know Charlotte, Sasha and Bayley are the priorities and it wouldn't be surprising if Becky or Alexa are thrown into a multi-women's match or left off the show completely. But they're carrying Smackdown's women's division and are more entertaining than what we see on Raw.

James Ellsworth: After everything that's happened these last couple months, it just makes sense to put him on the show. He's one of the rare examples of someone who could easily be thrown into the ATGMB and not be lost in the shuffle. All you need to do is play up his underdog status and constantly let him avoid eliminations or actually win it.




Thoughts?



*Edit
Looking at my list, this isn't meant to be a pro-Smackdown thread. My examples just happened to include people from that show.

Ambrose will get a match no doubt, but he deserves better than being shoved into a multi-man ladder match or the Andre Battle Royal which I fear is the plan.

[Rican]

I know people like to shit on him now but Ziggler has never had a 1-1 match at Wrestlemania and he deserves it. He has had a lot of good performances this year despite the Ziggler is a loser meme.

Cesaro also deserves a 1-1 match and has been killing it this year.

Also, The Usos have never had a match on the main Wrestlemania show. I would love for the payoff to The Usos/American Alpha feud to be at Mania.

[Push R Truth]

I wanted Jericho to win the US Title so we could get him vs Cesaro at Wrestlemania.

The Miz deserves a real feud going into Mania and not just defending his title in the "let's throw everyone into an IC Title ladder match" match.

Becky Lynch, SZ, Ziggler, The Club, The Miz, Cesaro, Rusev

I woukd say ziggler more than earned his mania match this year. Others I'd add in would be:

- sami zayn (he had a moty con tender with nakamura, and definitely nabbed a mania moment with kev. If their "end of feud forever" happened at mania, we'd call it a classic)

- dean ambrose (with someone who gives a damn about being there)

- aj styles (needs to cap off this h.o.f. worthy year with a mania win)

- I'll say the cruiser weight as a whole. I don't care which two , outside of swann, but they need a main match rub big time

- Ambrose
- Becky
- Styles (yeah I know you said it's not a thread about him but I'm gonna say it anyway)

All 3 of these wrestlers are the workhorses of SD and I don't think any of them will be getting singles WM matches. At all. Sure, others might deserve a match but these 3 deserve them more than anyone else at the top of both divisions given they're probably not going to have one.

Braun deserves to win the universal title

Though I adored the Kevin Owens one, since it fit his character to have pissed off all of the guys the way he did.

[No Name is needed Bro Beans]

I dont know if Neidhart deserves a match maybe he can be in Natties corner or something

[Clawley Race]

Everyone! Make the Andre the Giant Battle Royal even bigger and make the show 9 hours!

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Me. FFS, I've been building this grudge match with Finn Balor for close to a year.

The only way it is acceptable for him to be in a multi-man match is if he creates multiple enemies with dirty wins for the title over the next several weeks. They all end up getting their fair shake in a match, but he also has to win the match clean.

I see this happening.

Bryan decides to piss Miz off by putting Ziggler, Harper, Corbin, Crews and Kalisto in a match so Miz has no chance of winning.

Nattie dressing up as Who to take out Nikki at Survivor Series was a huge missed opportunity.

Pretty much anyone on the main roster. Between pre-show multi person tag matches, main show mptm, and the ARMBAR just get the roster on their to get everyone a payday.
