7 Things We Will See For The Last Time At WrestleMania 33

5. A Wrestling McMahon

In the aftermath of WrestleMania 32 it was expected that the event was to be Shane McMahon's last as an in-ring competitor. Shane and The Undertaker put on a match that was great as a spectacle if not as a wrestling bout, and Shane's death-defying leap from the top of the cell was surely going to be his final daredevil act as a wrestler.

The reality turned out to be rather different as Shane entered himself into the Brand Warfare Survivor Series match between RAW and SmackDown, and now he finds himself on the WrestleMania card for the second year running. His opponent on 2 April is none other than 'The Phenomenal One' himself, AJ Styles.

Will this WrestleMania be the last time we see a McMahon competing in the ring? We can only hope. WWE has suffered for a long time for having to build up these non-wrestlers as convincing threats to top performers in the company, and the sooner they are resigned to administrative roles and nothing else the better.
