WrestleMania 35: 5 Entrances we need to see

Joan Jett is going to rock MetLife Stadium with a live rendition of 'Bad Reputation' as Ronda Rousey storms into the arena. It will make for a special champions entrance for WrestleMania's first ever main event headlined by the women of WWE. A historic sight like that deserves the traditional pomp and circumstance of the grandest stage of them all.

Yet the pageantry of WrestleMania and its wild entrances isn't just relegated to the main event or the big matches. Now and then WrestleMania's undercard manages to steal the show, not just through slick combat but also some crazy innovative entrances. As it is the biggest night of the year, superstars are on high alert to kick it into the next gear.

Extravagance alone doesn't add to the wow factor, rather, entrances get a touch of power from the substance behind them. Whether it be John Cena's look back into Chicago history at WrestleMania 22, or something as simple as Daniel Bryan's glorious in-ring return last year. With that in mind, this year provides a stirring chance to see what some superstars have in store.

So here's a look-see at the five WrestleMania entrances that could shine the brightest, and of course some honorable mentions as well. Before we highlight the major ones, let's begin with memorable mentions:

Honorable Mentions

Can the Kingslayer top his chilling game of thrones inspired entrance from last year?

'Beastslayer' Seth Rollins: Rollins has the tradition of really bringing it when it counts, especially as he tweaks his costuming and entrance to either a pop cultural rendition such as last years Game of Thrones homage or into the story he is playing such as his Golden Knight with a fiery torch to burn down Triple H's authority as the Kingslayer (WrestleMania 33). This year as he faces the task of bringing down Brock Lesnar once and for all, a Beat Master or is it Beast Slayer mode will surely get activated.

'Stone Cold' Becky Lynch: It's hard to determine what else of Irish heritage can Becky Lynch add to her big match entrances, that she already hasn't. With the no-frills attitude of her 'The Man' character, it would suit Becky not to go too grand and instead keep it plain and simple. Maybe even get into her opponents heads by mocking their tradition, especially 'Ronnie' if Becky can manage a UFC Shoot style entrance to the ring.

What will Triple H Do?: This one's a good question, The Game goes big when it comes to his Wrestlemania entrances. Much like his matches in the past decade, each of his entrances has been escalating exercises in excess. With Stephanie most likely out of the picture, this year provides a chance to do a bit different from the hardass Biker gimmick of old.

5. Bad Reputation Fight Camp

Fight Ronda Fight

Already backed by a rockstar performance by Joan Jett, Ronda Rousey could just as well add the extra touch to her kayfabe breaking character. The best possible option being a walk to the WWE ring in UFC manner. With a fight camp backing her and Rousey bringing a real shoot fight feel to the match, exaggerating that in UFC entrance style would get the right reaction from the crowd.

It'd perfectly encapsulate Ronda's current trajectory, as she proves a better heel than a face. This, as expected, can include a few hints to not just her past, but future in the WWE as well. Rumors persist that WWE wishes to end the night with all Four Horsewomen of NXT raising their championships, especially with Charlotte holding on to Smackdown gold.

If that were true, Ronda bringing Shayna Baszler and maybe even her other four horsewomen compatriots in her fight camp entrance is a clear-cut warning sign to her opponents. At the least, husband Travis Browne backing her is just as potent and a neat role reversal of the current status, of the women's division.

4. 'Immortal Demon' Balor

Forget putting Balor over, The Demon is a hot marketable commodity WWE would be foolish to not use more often

Last years strong inclusivity message by Balor for his WrestleMania entrance went over well with the crowd making him a likable babyface. It helped since Finn Balor didn't step out as 'The Demon' for his Intercontinental championship triple threat, signifying he wasn't going to win. This year though teasing it with unpredictability, WWE should smarten up and actually give us the vaunted demon entrance.

At this point, no one really cares for Bobby Lashley who is in a desperate need for a fresh start. Meanwhile, Finn Balor's short Intercontinental title reign made him look like a goober, especially considering how well the championship fits his position, character and fighting style. A worthy extended squash of Lashley en route to a stirring lengthy title reign is all the special if Balor nails this entrance.

WrestleMania as said is all about the extravagance. WWE loves to dabble in the larger than life. Yet here we have someone ready-made to handle both, but the company seems hesitant on going all the way. Though the character is far from properly established, a sighting of the Demon is the perfect way to kickstart WrestleMania.

3. 'Thanos' from 619!

Mysterio could definitely top his ALL IN Wolverine show!

The Titan Thanos already got a huge shout out from Seth Rollins at Summerslam last year, yet Rey Mysterio had at one point been the go-to guy with elaborate costumes paying homage to blockbuster pop culture icons of the times. While not a featured aspect of the Avengers Endgame marketing, Thanos is the big bad of the Marvel Cinematic Universe saga and his presence in pop culture as the big purple guy is huge.

With the next Avengers film set to release pretty soon, paying tribute with a gold-armored suit and even a purple face paint job; Rey Mysterio could make a blockbuster return to the hallowed grounds of 'Mania. Being as it is his first WrestleMania since 2014, Mysterio may want to pay back to his past in the company too.

Yet it wouldn't be fun without a callback to the big thing of the moment, and Thanos is just the perfect cosmic deity to latch onto. Plus this way Rey can show the young upstarts how it's really done, including Seth Rollins who has since taken up the ball with flash hero entrances. In fact, go all the way and add a power-wielding gauntlet to help bring down the real big bad in Samoa Joe.

2. Pancake Parade for Kofi/w The New Day

Kofi Kingston and the New Day have come a long way and this is a celebration of all that

Now that it is finally announced, lots of questions remain as to the kind of entrance New Day have planned in hopes of Kofi Kingston's big coronation. Even if Kingston isn't picking up the championship win, this is a huge moment for the New Day member and you can bet something crazy is in order. With Xavier Woods at the helm, it likely going to have a video game or anime flavor to the whole thing whether modern or retro.

At this year's WrestleKingdom, Kenny Omega mapped out a beautiful 8-bit story on the screen to his path to the main event before showing up in clear One-Winged Angel garb. Their friendly rivalry means Woods could help Kofi take a page out of Omega's book showcasing a highlight reel set to a video game mood of Kofi's undeniable rise to earn this opportunity. Backed by the vocals of Big E, these brilliant moments need a little shade thrown the way of their rival in Daniel Bryan.

Maybe just maybe, New Day goes all in on pancake throwing a fun and superficial party en route to the ring as to incense Bryan as well as play mind games over his beliefs. You can easily expect a simple entrance from the WWE champion, allowing New Day to go the opposite route with show steal excess.

1. Ruthless Aggression

Full Circle

So technically not a special entrance as such, but the manner in which it shall be conducted can put to the rest the horrible booking of the Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin match. In his final WrestleMania entrance, there cannot be much of a show to the way Kurt Angle makes his way down to the ring apart from the usual fireworks. Baron Corbin shall also swarm in the boos as he plods his way to the ring.

Yet after what has to end up as a quick squash, Kurt cannot end his career in such mediocre faction. In fact, the incensed Olympian will call out anyone to give him a proper sendoff. The arena shall rise to the occasion of Cena's entrance music, as he makes his way to the ring with steely determination but a nostalgic smile as well.

An entrance backed wonderfully as Kurt asks what Cena has that makes him think he deserves to end his career, and the fans shall join in the chorus of Cena's two words;

Ruthless Aggression!

Simple, effective and full circle for a man all about the in-ring competition and with a legendary career to boast off.
