Creating Golden Stars on the Golden Stage
WrestleMania presents a golden opportunity for WWE to solidify the stars it envisions paving the way for the future. Between the men’s and women’s divisions, there is no shortage of talent ready for that leap. While Oba Femi is already set to “slay the Beast,” Brock Lesnar, his arrival still leaves two other high-impact recent call-ups, Je’Von Evans and Trick Williams, searching for their own definitive WrestleMania moments.
While Evans appears to be involved in the Intercontinental Title picture and Williams is on a collision course with Sami Zayn for this year, adding them to a WrestleMania Money in the Bank match would be a powerful statement.
Having one of them climb the ladder to seize the briefcase would signal to the fans exactly who will be leading the company into the next era. Both men have proven they belong on the big stage, and a 16-match card is the perfect environment to showcase why they are the future of the industry.
It isn’t just the newcomers who would benefit from this kind of match. Established stars who have been with the company longer, such as Bron Breakker and LA Knight, could also use a high-stakes ladder match to break through the glass ceiling, finally.
Similarly, female stars like Lyra Valkyria and Chelsea Green would be perfect candidates for this kind of match for the women’s side. While WWE has occasionally struggled to find the right path to the next level for them, a high-stakes ladder match would make their transition to the top of the main card feel earned rather than forced.
