WrestleMania is as most would call it, the culmination of the storylines that have been building up for close to a year and it is the point where every storyline, every feud, and every fight reaches its exclamation mark. It is the biggest PPV of the year and is undoubtedly the biggest spectacle in the world of professional wrestling.
Every year there are many matches for which the result is a foregone conclusion and the audience is just going through the motions in the match only to in the end have the rug slipped from underneath and have a complete shocker of a result instead.
For instance, just look at last year's main event where Roman Reigns was finally expected to slay the beast and take the title, but as it turned out Brock Lesnar yet again got the pin and a victory which left everyone in a bit of shock.
This year WWE might have a few tricks up its sleeves and might be looking to slip in a few shocks here and there. Here is a list of 5 potential shockers WWE might have in store for the fans at WrestleMania.

#1 Charlotte wins the title
Well, if this happens there's going to be a riot because Becky Lynch is an out and out favorite to win the main event and with both the titles on the line, the image of her standing tall with both titles on each shoulder is an image that most of the fans would be really looking forward to as it would in essence cap off what has been a year of meteoric rise for Becky Lynch as compared to where she was last year.
But then you look at what WWE did last year and how they changed the ending to keep the Beast at the top, then you think something like that is not really beyond the realms of possibility at WrestleMania.
And it is tempting as well for WWE as it could just set them up for a further year-long feud with Charlotte getting so much heat and Becky getting so much sympathy that the crowd would really get behind her and could trigger new chapters of the Charlotte-Becky feud.
#2 The New day splits up and costs Kofi Kingston the title
There are many reasons to believe that this might happen. It's no secret that WWE has never been entirely sold on Kofi Kingston and it is a bit out of nowhere that he has been just thrown into the limelight. Sure, he's in the title match. Sure he's facing Daniel Bryan and sure he has been really made to work for it and the fans are behind him like anything.
But, there's a reason why Kofi has not been in this situation for 11 years and the reason is the lack of faith WWE has for him. Will they pull the trigger on him at WrestleMania? Even though the fans would want that, it looks highly unlikely and the more plausible route WWE could rather take is the route where The New Day finally splits up and costs Kofi his title match.
#3 Brock Lesnar retains the title
Just like last year, it looks like a done deal that Seth Rollins is going to become the Universal Champion and just like last year it looks like the Beast is on his way out of the company.
But again just like last year, Brock Lesnar's match against Daniel Cormier is still not finalized and there are still way too many speculations around what's going to happen with the Beast post WrestleMania to such an extent that it has become a foregone conclusion that the "King Slayer" will be slaying the Beast this time around.
With WWE it's not something new to sense the expected pulse of the match and then completely flip it at the last moment.
They did it last year when Roman Reigns was supposed to overcome the odds to beat Brock, and they could do it yet again, and everyone again expects the same script to be rewritten with Rollins at the forefront and not Reigns. It won't be fair on Rollins but it's not something that you could put totally beyond the WWE.
#4 Triple H loses his match and his career to Batista
We all know how much of a weight a "career match" actually carries in WWE, but if the company does go this way, then you know that there is going to be the second installment of "Batista Vs Triple H" and that's exactly the reason why WWE could be looking to do that. There could be many factors at play here.
Batista a Hollywood Superstar coming to WWE on its grandest stage only to lose and then leave? Something just doesn't add up there. And on the other side, you can't let the heel have the last laugh either, so to satisfy both scenarios, WWE could just let Batista win the match at WrestleMania and then run it again later in the year at a PPV like SummerSlam where Triple H levels up things and puts an end to the feud.
#5 Drew McIntyre defeats Roman Reigns
The reason why something like this could make sense is because Roman Reigns has just returned to the big scene and if he's yet again put back on top of the same pedestal as soon as he's back then it would not only dissuade the fans against him yet again but it would also undermine the rest of the roster.
With Seth Rollins expected to win against 'the Beast' Brock Lesnar, he would need a new heel adversary, and Drew McIntyre really fits the bill, and it's about time he finally got the push he deserves. Roman Reigns does go into this match as the favorite, but if WWE does swing it towards 'the Scottish Psychopath' Drew McIntyre, it would make a lot of sense.
