WWE WrestleMania 40: 20 Things That Must Happen

7. Final Testament Wreck The Pride

Here's another of WrestleMania 40's least-impressive showings.

Perhaps that's unfair before everyone has a chance to work, but it's certainly lacklustre on paper. The Pride, comprised of leader Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits, awkwardly flipped from would-be heels to the faces of the piece, and The Final Testament (a vehicle for Karrion Kross) has yet to click into gear too.

Sunday could be Karrion's time to shine. Triple H has elected to cut to the chase and turn this into a "Philadelphia Street Fight", so expect weapons and carnage aplenty. That'll be especially interesting if the main event follows suit under "Bloodline Rules", but some chairs and tables here could whet everyone's appetites for more.

Testament should go over with a Kross pin on...well, literally anyone on the babyface side. It honestly doesn't matter if he pins Lashley, Montez Ford or Angelo Dawkins. The most important thing about this match is that it's an entertaining distraction and gets Karrion's faction moving the right way on TV.
