WrestleMania 31 is an altogether different feeling supercard to those of the past few years. Sure, there are veterans scheduled to compete, as Sting locks horns with Triple H and it looks like The Undertaker will face off against Bray Wyatt, but looking at the rest of the card makes it clear things are changing somewhat in the company. John Cena has been cast as an "old man" by the creative team, as it seems WWE finally realise something must be done about the dreadful lack of money-drawing talent at their disposal in 2015. It became obvious last year that The Undertaker's physical condition is only going to deteriorate, and WWE simply can't afford to rely on many of their longest-serving stars forever. Triple vs. Sting has a huge feel to it, but it's unlikely either will be relied upon to carry the weight of the promotion post-WrestleMania, so focus definitely needs to be on youth, or at least on fresher names. This opens up a lot of potential for younger stars to make their main card WrestleMania debut, something which hasn't been possible over the past few years. This list looks at those who are confirmed, as well as those rumoured to be taking their bow on the grandest stage the industry can provide.
