WrestleMania 35 will be taking place this weekend and it is set to feature a ton of matches that fans are looking forward to seeing. Of course, multiple title matches will be taking place during the show, and while fans are behind the likes of Kofi Kingston, Asuka, and other stars on the roster, Vince McMahon is the person who ultimately decides on all of the match outcomes. For this year’s WrestleMania show, McMahon apparently has a “chosen” superstar. This means that McMahon is now completely behind this person and has decided to go all in on making this individual a star. According to the newest reports, the coronation for this rumored star will be taking place at WrestleMania 35 this Sunday night.
A member of the WWE roster has reportedly been “chosen” to become a top star by Vince McMahon, and that person is Becky Lynch. According to Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer, McMahon has been sold on Lynch for months now. The reason why WWE has put both Women’s Championships on the line for the Triple Threat match at WrestleMania 35 is because the match is being hyped as the biggest women’s match of all time, and Becky will therefore become the biggest female star in the company when she wins. Meltzer noted that Lynch is almost considered a lock to win her match against Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey this Sunday, which means that she could be Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champion very soon.
It was certainly shocking when it was first announced that The Undertaker would be appearing at the Starrcast event this May. The event mark a rare non-WWE wrestling appearance for “The Deadman,” but it still hasn’t been made clear what Undertaker will be doing at Starrcast. According to Conrad Thompson, plans for a possible stage show with “The Phenom” have fallen through. Thompson said on the Mat Men podcast that there were plans for a stage show involving The Undertaker, but it fell apart when he wanted to broadcast it on FITE TV. He also discussed the “Dead Man Talking” trademark and said that it was for a series of speaking tour shows possibly involving Bruce Prichard and The Undertaker before Prichard was rehired by WWE earlier this year.
“When we first started talking about having The Undertaker there at Starrcast, we were sort of kicking around ‘Hey, what could we do?’ I though, ‘Well, it would be awesome if we could do a meet and greet and then have a stage show, and through the discourse with his management they agreed. They didn’t hate the idea, but they had a lot of conditions, [such as] ‘We want to know who the host is.’ So I said, ‘Well, I think he’s friends with Bruce Prichard, what about Bruce?’ Bruce was approved, ‘Okay, great, we love Bruce.’ Then the wrinkle came ‘Well you can’t film it, or air it.’ Well, you know, part of my strategy for Starrcast was to put it on FITE. So that kind of put the kibosh on that, so there is no stage show.” Thompson said.
