5 WWE Superstars who may unexpectedly lose at WrestleMania 36 

This week, WWE made an important change to their upcoming pay-per-view, WrestleMania 36. The company released a statement and said that WrestleMania will no longer happen in the Raymond James Stadium, Tampa. Instead, it’ll emanate live from the Performance Center, just like RAW and SmackDown.

While this ensures that the PPV won’t get canceled, this wasn't what the WWE Universe wanted to happen. WrestleMania without fans doesn’t seem like a satisfying solution, but we will have to deal with it. Considering current circumstances, WWE has to do something that makes this pay-per-view exciting.

So far, only eight matches have been booked for the show, four of which are title defenses. What could WWE do to make WrestleMania more exciting? Make it unpredictable, which means that some unlikely Superstars will have to lose their matches. With that being said, here we present 5 such names who may unexpectedly lose their bouts at WrestleMania. Some of these names may seem unrealistic but remember that is the theme of today’s article.

#5 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt

Everyone thinks that 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt is going to defeat John Cena, and while there may be some truth in it, Cena’s statement on Friday Night SmackDown makes it unpredictable.

The 16-time WWE Champion believes that Bray Wyatt cries over his losses and blames others for it. He also doesn’t think that Wyatt is the future of WWE. During his promo, Cena subtly told us that he may win at WrestleMania 36.

While we don’t know why WWE may go this path, there’s a possibility that this could lead to more interesting things. The Fiend doesn’t like losing, and if he loses another match, he may transform himself into something much darker than his current persona. This can be an interesting storyline arc for Bray Wyatt.

#4 Roman Reigns

When Goldberg defeated The Fiend, fans knew they are going to see his match against Roman Reigns. These two Superstars are now scheduled to battle it out for the Universal Championship at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

One would think if WWE could surprise us with this match. While it’s true that a WrestleMania without fans could be a blessing in disguise for Reigns (if you didn’t understand this, click here), Vince McMahon may not want to do things this way.

Reigns has fan support, even if doesn’t seem like that. WWE could book him to lose to Goldberg so that the fans hate him even more. Later, Reigns could challenge him again (preferable at SummerSlam) and finally win the title. The fan will give him a positive reaction and this victory would be much more meaningful then as compared to WrestleMania 36.

This has already happened with Reigns before. When fans thought he'll defeat Brock Lesnar to become the Universal Champion at WrestleMania 34, Vince McMahon pulled the triggers and changed the outcome.

#3 Drew McIntyre

Brock Lesnar will return to RAW next week!

Another Superstar who will be challenging for a World Championship is Drew McIntyre. The 2020 Royal Rumble winner will face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship. Everyone knows that McIntyre will defeat Lesnar and become the new champion. That’s where WWE could throw a massive curveball.

We know that anything related to Lesnar can be shocking in itself. He does things that nobody expects; winning at WrestleMania 30, for instance. Something similar could happen this year.

Since everyone is expecting him to lose his belt to McIntyre, Lesnar could shock the world and unexpectedly win. Again, the most probable reason for this could be the lack of an audience. Everyone loves McIntyre and wants to see him become the WWE Champion but if there isn’t anybody to cheer for him, this victory wouldn’t mean much.

Don't forget that shows after WrestleMania are also going to happen in the Performance Center (until the coronavirus pandemic subsides). It means that McIntyre isn’t going to hear the pops until a few more weeks. This is why WWE could book him to lose. Like Roman Reigns, The Scottish Psychopath, too, could win the title on a later date when the arena will be filled with fans.

#2 Shayna Baszler

Fans have still not forgotten how Shayna Baszler dominated through the entire Elimination Chamber match. Most of them weren’t saying in her favor. However, Baszler is still the favorite to defeat Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 36. She is going to challenge for the RAW Women’s Championship.

But one wonders if Lynch is going to lose? She is still the biggest female Superstar on the roster and if someone who just debuted on the main roster beats her, wouldn’t this damage her character? WWE may not want that to happen.

Even though it seems Lynch doesn’t stand a chance in front of Baszler, don’t forget that she has beaten almost everybody on the roster. WWE might be strongly pushing Baszler, but that doesn’t mean she will win.

There’s always a chance of losing. Lynch has made the RAW Women’s Championship more relevant than any other female and this can be a reason why WWE may not allow her to drop the belt.

#1 The Undertaker

Yes, this is the most unlikely name to lose at WrestleMania but hear us out, guys. This week, The Undertaker made a huge change in his gimmick (resembling his old character). He usually comes out wearing his coat and hat but this time around, ‘Taker was looking more like The Amerian Bad***, though he did seem to have his "supernatural" powers with him. This could be a hint that something shocking is going to happen at WrestleMania.

The Phenom has already pinned AJ Styles at Super ShowDown. So why are they facing each other once again when everybody knows Styles won’t win? Perhaps that has a purpose -- to do the unthinkable? While this sounds unrealistic (and it is), The Undertaker could lose his match at WrestleMania. The OC could help Styles do that. And because 'Taker seemingly has a new character, it could be another reason why he loses at 'Mania.

Styles is a modern-day Shawn Michaels and while the latter was never able to defeat The Undertaker, The Phenomenal One could. This doesn’t seem that unrealistic when you consider the streak is already broken and The Undertaker is on the verge of retirement.
