WWE WrestleMania 2015: Overlooked Stars Who Will Make Big Impacts

With less than three weeks until the 2015 edition of WrestleMania, several overlooked WWE Superstars will make huge impacts despite lackluster builds to the pay-per-view.

From Daniel Bryan still not officially being announced for a bout at the biggest PPV of the year to the questionable build for the Intercontinental Championship Ladder match, plenty of talented performers are being overlooked.

Here are the top stars who will overcome porous booking and leave imprints on WrestleMania 31.

Daniel Bryan

The biggest travesty of the build to WrestleMania 31 is the lack of a proper storyline for Bryan leading into the event. Even with the uncertainty surrounding his neck surgery, the fact that WWE hasn’t been able to find a way to feature him more is terrible booking.

Bryan is one of the most popular wrestlers in the world, and he has been relegated to fighting Bad News Barrett in a nothing match. After main eventing WrestleMania last year and winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Bryan has nothing to do for the event with only two episodes of Raw remaining.

Despite all of the odds stacked against him, Bryan will overcome and put on a show-stealing effort. Whether it's in a singles feud with a returning Sheamus or part of the multiman Intercontinental Championship match, Bryan has the talent and the support of the crowd to make an impact.

How Bryan has been used on the road to WrestleMania has been the ultimate burial of his talents.

The Entire Intercontinental Championship Match

The hunt to hold the Intercontinental Championship has become a joke. While the IC title being the focus of multiple segments in one night is smart booking, having every member of the Ladder match at WrestleMania steal the belt makes this a lighthearted storyline.

These combatants are about to go to war in a Ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship, and this angle should feature zero comedy. It should be an all-out battle for the second-most important title in the company.

Some of the best all-around talents in wrestling right now—including Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Luke Harper and Barrett—will participate in one of the most notoriously violent and physical matches in the business.

Add the fact the overlooked challengers and the champion will be looking to prove to the company that they deserve to be on the rise over the next year, and this match has all the earmarks of an instant classic.

Tyson Kidd and Cesaro

Separately, Tyson Kidd and Cesaro were not connecting with the majority of the WWE Universe. Together, though, they have become two of the most entertaining tag team champions in recent memory.

The duo is more entertaining with the inclusion of Natalya as well. With everything going the right way for the champions, WrestleMania should mark another chapter in their ascent to the top of the mountain. Instead, the team looked foolish on Raw.

The hope is that Kidd and Cesaro do not lose the titles in a multiteam match at the biggest PPV of the year. The duo has improved so much and is so talented in the ring that WWE would be spiting itself if it didn't give the team a win at WrestleMania.
