WrestleMania 28: Midcard WWE Superstars That Need a Post-'Mania Push

With WWE’s WrestleMania out of the way, the departure of many of the older wrestlers leads many insiders to believe that new wrestlers will be receiving post-‘Mania pushes.

Guys like Dolph Ziggler, Zack Ryder and Brodus Clay are all deserving of a big push, and WWE may finally be coming to their senses.

All of the following stars will end up wearing gold at some point this year, no matter how irrelevant or terrible the run will be.

Dolph Ziggler

While the IWC has clamored over this kid for the last few months, it’s time for WWE to show the home-grown star some championship love.

Whether it is another extended run as the United States or Intercontinental Champion or it comes via a feud that leads him to steal a World Championship, the WWE has to test the waters on Dolph Ziggler as a serious title holder.

After Chris Jericho goes away, it would be great to see the WWE put Daniel Bryan, CM Punk and Ziggler into a program for the WWE title.

That would be amazing.

Zack Ryder

Fans can say what they want about his gimmick, but if Ryder can continue to work on his in-ring abilities, he will be a seriously dangerous character for the WWE.

That all starts by turning him heel. With the fans supporting a heel version of Ryder possibly even more than a face version, the Broski boot would have even more bite.

While the WWE could feud Ryder with Cody Rhodes and bring the Intercontinental title back into the mix, it would make for better storylines if Ryder was a bad guy.

Brodus Clay

After weeks of squash matches, dancing and getting over with the crowd, it’s time for the WWE to finally get this big monster into a real feud where he can showcase his skills.

There are questions about just how good Clay will be in matches that last longer, but the WWE will never know how it will go and how the crowd will react until it happens.

The WWE teased a possible tag team featuring the big man, which would be a good way to feature him, yet offset his limited move set.
