WWE WrestleMania 37: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True
Goldberg spoils Edge's fun; WWE fans don't care. Welcome to your WrestleMania 37 nightmares!
WrestleMania week must deliver multiple kick-ass moments that WWE can look back on proudly.
Big things are expected here. The week started off erm...uniquely with a combined 2020/2021 Hall Of Fame ceremony, and NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver's first night was everything any purist could've hoped for. Those events are mere appetisers for the "Grandest Stage Of Them All" though - WWE know that.
As always, this article seeks to disturb your pre-WrestleMania 37 dreams. Why? Well, pro wrestling has hit the self-destruct button many times over the years. Some wrestling fans just can't help but worry that everything's about to go to sh*t, and that's what's on offer here.
If you're the kind of worrier who frets about unwanted part-timers coming back to scoop attention from your full-time favourites, or the type of fan that has Dr. Pepper-esque fears ("What's the worst that could happen?") aplenty, then you'll empathise with the nail-biting trauma thrown up over 10 alarming entries.
'Mania 37 is either going to be a shining beacon of everything that's right with WWE, or a two-night clusterf*ck that'll ruin the rest of the year. Sorry/not sorry...
10. A Throwaway Match Still Opens
WWE know that first impressions matter this weekend. That's why, to their credit, the company have moved peripheral bouts like Battle Royals and multi-man tags to Friday's episode of SmackDown. This, hopefully, will mean that the live crowd in Tampa see some big stars from the off on Saturday night.
Or, y'know, they could see that women's 'Tag-Team Turmoil'.
It'd be a popcorn fart moment for sure if Dana Brooke and Mandy Rose skipped out for the four-team number one contender's match (it could be five if odd couple tandem Carmella and Billie Kay are added), or if Lana and Naomi got the first back-to-back entrances in front of fans.
This match just isn't important at all. Sure, it'll set up a title bout for the second night, but few really care about who wins or loses - fans have bigger bouts to sink their teeth into. That's why it'd suck to see this go on first.
