6 WrestleMania 34 Matches You Can't Believe You Care About
2. A Stephanie McMahon Match (In 2018)
Few things are harder to sell than a Stephanie McMahon match in 2018, but here we are. On Sunday night, we're going to watch the most toxic TV character in recent WWE history in a featured spot on the biggest wrestling show of the year, and we can't wait.
It'll be only Stephanie's third match in close to 15 years. On top of this, she's a universally loathed burial merchant who typically serves only to take heat away from full-time performs, without giving anything back. 99% of the time, she's pure poison, but fortunately, WrestleMania 34 falls in that final percentile.
Ronda Rousey became WWE's biggest mainstream star the moment she signed her contract. Everything she does attracts attention, and Steph recognises this. Thus, she has been uncharacteristically selfless in selling for the former UFC fighter, and she's probably getting tapped out on Sunday night. Who doesn't want to see that?
The match's appeal stretches beyond Ronda's star power and Steph's comeuppance, though. There's the pure absurdity of seeing an MMA pioneer compete on wrestling's biggest star, the fact that Kurt bloody Angle is her partner, and WWE, to their credit, have done a great job with the story so far.
It should be a fun spectacle, if nothing else.
