WrestleMania 28: Sheamus and Stars Who Need to Shine

WrestleMania is a chance for the top stars to make another great moment for the fans, but it is also an event for new stars to make a big name for themselves and become main-eventers for a long time to come. 

This year's show is stacked from top to bottom with great talent. Obviously, the top three matches are going to be the focus of the show, but the undercard is going to be where you see everyone trying really hard to make a name for themselves. 

Here are the stars on the card who need to have a great WrestleMania. 

Sheamus

WWE tried pushing Sheamus before, but it got cut off quickly because that is how this particular creative era goes. Vince McMahon gets ideas, starts them and then changes his mind. 

Sheamus has been given a second chance because he is a friend of Triple H. Going against Daniel Bryan is going to help The Great White turn in the kind of performance that he needs in order to look like a true main-event star. 

If Sheamus falters in any way, it is going to be very difficult for the audience to believe that he is capable of handling the spotlight on SmackDown. WrestleMania can make or break your career, and this is the biggest match in Sheamus' career. 

Dolph Ziggler

There was a time not that long ago when everyone had high hopes for Ziggler. He was having great matches on every show he was on, and he even parlayed that into a WWE championship match at the Royal Rumble. 

The last two months have been a disaster for Ziggler. He has done nothing of note, his matches aren't getting time and his match with CM Punk at the Rumble made him look like a mid-card geek. 

He is the star of Team Johnny, even if he isn't the captain. He should be the one to carry that match for the heels. If he can do anything to get this match over, it will confirm what we were all thinking last November: Ziggler is a star waiting to happen. 

Kane

Even though Kane has been in feuds with John Cena and Randy Orton since returning, no one seems to care about anything that he does. 

Certainly, it doesn't help that he is given the worst material to say, and those rivalries have been built on hilariously awful angles that no one on earth could care about them. 

At this point in his career, Kane is not going to advance any higher. He is a novelty act that can get heat because he looks like a monster. That doesn't mean he can't get the crowd against him even more if he finds a way to work a great match with Orton, though. 

Given Orton's improved in-ring work over the last year, it shouldn't be that hard. But Kane matches often leave a lot to be desired.
