10 Things We Need To See At WrestleMania 33

And before you ask: no, Shane McMahon vs. AJ Styles isn't one of them...

By Elliott Binks /

With the Fastlane pay-per-view now firmly behind us, that must mean that in WWE’s 'Road to WrestleMania' metaphor, we’re right on the doorstep of the biggest show of the year, or at least on the final straight.

There are, in fact, roughly three weeks to go until show time, with the card for the event starting to take shape accordingly. At the time of writing, WWE.com currently has six matches scheduled for the show, as well as the billing of the New Day as guest hosts. On top of all that, there are a fair few ongoing feuds that look set to result in a few more additions to that line-up, meaning the conversation can begin to move on from the pre-show build and towards the actual event itself.

Obviously, there are a number of things that we need to see at WrestleMania 33—principally, the staging of wrestling matches. But going beyond the facetious, there are a number of more nuanced developments that need to go down at the show for the sake of everyone involved.

Let’s dig into to a few of those points…

10. Something For Braun Strowman

Starting off with a simple ask, Braun Strowman really needs something, anything, to do at WrestleMania.

Currently, he's got nothing lined up for the show, despite having been arguably the most dominant guy on the entire Raw roster in recent months. He's built on the momentum from his Royal Rumble rampage by power slamming both Mark Henry and the Big Show in back-to-back weeks on Raw, and while a loss to Roman Reigns at Fastlane wasn’t ideal, he was still booked very strongly throughout the match and its build.

While some may still harbour slim hopes of him somehow being inserted into the probable Reigns vs. Undertaker match, it’s starting to look more and more likely that Strowman is destined for the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

It may not be the greatest spot in the world, but in the event that he does enter the multi-man match, he needs to destroy absolutely everyone in his path and win in the most convincing fashion. Otherwise, what was the point in him building all of that initial momentum in the first place?
