WWE WrestleMania 38: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True
Unwanted title changes, false advertising, flat debuts and more WrestleMania nightmares!
Vince McMahon must bloody hate it when he gets WrestleMania wrong.
The WWE patriarch isn't keen on failure generally (who is?!), but 'Mania is still his pride and joy. It's an annual reminder that everything is rosy in the sports entertainment garden, and it's Vince's chance to shove words like "stupendous" to the forefront of advertising campaigns - how's a fella' supposed to resist that?
Seriously though, this is a big weekend for the company. Last year's cards welcomed fans back, so they were always going to get a pass, but WWE smashed it last time out. Both WrestleMania nights were, for the most part, a rip-roaring success creatively. There's no way McMahon wants 'Mania 38 to be a backwards step.
Apologies in advance to anyone who looks on the brighter side of life too. There's no room for such sickly positivity here. No, this is all about the worst that could happen between 2-3 April. Unwanted title changes, a bit of false advertising from WWE itself, debuts that fall flat and all the nightmare outcomes that'll keep fans awake in the wee hours.
What goes bump in the night? Maybe not Steve Austin...
10. Omos Is Next!
"Omos! You're next!".
Oh God, this is gonna happen isn't it? The rumour mill is teasing a comeback for one Bobby Lashley come 'Mania's opening night. That could happen, mainly because Bob is a freak of nature who may recover from his Elimination Chamber woes in time to score a berth on the biggest show(s) of the year.
Alternatively, WWE might fire out a call to Bill Goldberg and have him come in to tear a giant apart instead. No, Goldberg isn't under contract anymore, but that doesn't mean both parties couldn't reach a short-term agreement to dig creative out of a hole. Besides, they f*cking love a Billy big b*llocks comeback.
The sad truth is that even a huge Goldberg mark like this writer has zero desire to see him slay a promising newcomer like Omos. Similarly, he doesn't want to see Omos squash Bill either. So, in short, WWE shouldn't book the match.
