5 top WWE Superstars who don't have any WrestleMania plans so far

We are in March, which means that WrestleMania is next month. It's time to start getting excited. By now, we know a large chunk of the card.

This year is very much a tale of part-timers coming up against today's top WWE Superstars. Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, John Cena and more will be in action against the likes of Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns and "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt.

Aside from the very top of the card, expect every main roster championship to be defended, along with the already announced NXT Women's Championship match between Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley.

But despite the stacked nature of the card, several Superstars don't have a definitive place on the card. Champions like Bayley, Andrade and Braun Strowman could fall under that category, but they will be on the card.

Some big names, who don't have a title, are not in the WrestleMania picture at the moment. A lot can change in five weeks, so expect most of them to make their way on the 'Mania card. But as things stand, WWE doesn't seem to have much of a plan for these Superstars for the Show of Shows.

Here are five top WWE stars who don't have any WrestleMania plans so far.

---

#5 Sheamus

Things could be picking up for the Irishman.

After being out of action since last WrestleMania, Sheamus returned on SmackDown in the lead-up to Royal Rumble. He had a decent match against Shorty G on the kickoff show but since then, there hasn't been much progression for the Celtic Warrior.

Sheamus declared himself for an Elimination Chamber match that magically disappeared, come last week's SmackDown. So with plans being cancelled, there is no clear direction that the 3-time WWE Champion could go to WrestleMania.

If Sheamus is to have a program on the main card of 'Mania, it will probably begin in a couple of weeks. But for now, his status for the Show of Shows is not locked down.

#4 Ricochet

Last year was more promising for Ricochet.

Poor Ricochet. It seemed like he would have the breakout performance of a lifetime against Brock Lesnar at Super ShowDown, but his dream quickly turned into a nightmare. Ricochet's WWE Title challenge lasted for 90 seconds, as he got zero offense in on a dominant Lesnar.

It was a major disappointment for a Superstar who has not had a lot go his way recently. Around six months ago, Ricochet was seemingly set to receive a huge push on Monday Night RAW. But now, he hasn't had a meaningful angle in a while, aside from the Lesnar "feud".

Right now, there is no place for Ricochet on the WrestleMania card and he might need to settle for an appearance in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. It would be a step backward for the 'One and Only', after making his WrestleMania debut last year, alongside Aleister Black.

Ricochet's only possible hope of getting a spot on the 'Mania card could be a multi-man United States Championship match.

#3 Aleister Black

He might need to wait until after 'Mania.

Having mentioned him already, Aleister Black is another WWE Superstar who does not have a clear path towards WrestleMania after making his 'Mania debut last year. Black has had a stagnant year on RAW and SmackDown, getting a slightly slow push at the moment.

For a while, the former NXT Champion has been squashing local talent on RAW and only recently has he been involved in anything of note, aside from a tremendous series of matches with Murphy. Hopefully, his match against AJ Styles on tonight's RAW could speed up Black's possible 'Mania plans.

The Dutch Destroyer has been in line for a big push for a while now, but there doesn't seem to be any space on the WrestleMania card for him. The kickoff show battle royal is likely beneath Aleister Black's level and much like Ricochet, his biggest chance of getting on the card is a United States title match.

If the issue between Andrade and his Latino rivals is resolved before 'Mania, Black could very well step up to the challenge for the Show of Shows. But for now, he seems like a stepping stone for AJ Styles as he prepares to take on The Undertaker.

#2 Daniel Bryan

He is too good to not have a decent role on the card.

Out of every Superstar on this list, Daniel Bryan is the one name who will certainly get a match on the main card of WrestleMania. He is just too big of a Superstar not to be included. Bryan's WrestleMania legacy is incredible, with some memorable moments under his belt.

But ever since he lost to "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, Bryan has not had a clear direction on SmackDown. That could be a good thing, as it is offering talents like Heath Slater and Drew Gulak some TV time. A match between Bryan and Gulak sounds exciting, but it may not be WrestleMania-worthy.

Much like Sheamus, WrestleMania plans for Bryan might not come into fruition for a couple more weeks. Likely options for him include a match against the Celtic Warrior himself, these two have quite the history at 'Mania, or possibly an Intercontinental Championship match of some kind.

Hopefully, Daniel Bryan does something worthwhile at WrestleMania. He is too good of a performer not to be doing so, especially when you look at his list of WrestleMania moments.

#1 Triple H

Is it Game over?

WrestleMania 36 already has three confirmed matches featuring part-timers, with another two to be set up in the coming week or so. However, none of them involves the ever-constant Triple H. The only Superstar to wrestle at every WrestleMania in the 2010s might not do so at the first one of this decade.

It is surprising, to say the least, considering how much Triple H loves to come up with his special entrance for the 'Grandest Stage of Them All'. He has had some spectacular matches in recent years against the likes of Seth Rollins and Sting, as well as the team of Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey.

It seems like the Game is prioritizing NXT and its own road to WrestleMania weekend over his. But as things stand, Triple H does not have a match planned for the Show of Shows. If it stays this way, this year's edition will be the first one not to have a Triple H match since 2007.

And with a card as stacked as what we have coming to us from Tampa on April 5th, there is no need for the COO to step back into the ring. We will miss his over-the-top entrances and 20-minute plus long epic matches, though.
