The WWE always tries to lead fans in specific directions during WrestleMania, but these five superstars could steal the show at the massive event.

There’s no question who the WWE has positioned as the Superstars they want to see burn the house down at WrestleMania. That doesn’t mean the roster is going to follow the script. Instead, it’s much more likely that someone outside the Becky Lynch-Charlotte Flair-Round Rousey main event will steal the show.

The appropriate question isn’t really whether or not a Superstar will steal the show, but rather who it will be. Given the massive size of this year’s card, there is no shortage of choices. The length of the show and sheer talent on the roster give quite a few Superstars a big chance to stand out in a major way.

This piece narrows it down to the five WWE Superstars most likely to emerge from the event as the individual fans are talking about. Let’s start with one who could do it in an unpopular manner.

5. Daniel Bryan

The prevailing wisdom heading into WrestleMania 35 is that Daniel Bryan will drop his title to Kofi Kingston. “KofiMania” is certainly running wild on the WWE Universe at the moment.

Kingston and Bryan do have the potential to put on an absolute match of the ages, though. Even if Bryan does drop the strap, he could put on such a marvelous performance that WWE fans will be clamoring to see more of him in the ring in coming weeks. That’s tough for a heel to pull off, but Bryan has interest from every WWE fan regardless of whether or not they are supporting him.

Don’t be shocked if Bryan and Kingston pull off the match that most fans are talking about when WrestleMania goes off the air. Kingston will get a ton of credit for his probable victory, but Bryan has a real chance to steal the show as a heel.
