Five Pressing Inquiries That Need Resolution Before WWE WrestleMania 40
As we approach WrestleMania XL, WWE is facing a critical juncture with only four matches officially announced for the event. Despite the countdown to the grand spectacle, there are still numerous loose ends that need to be tied up before the big show.
With just a month left until The Show of Shows, the company has primarily focused on the main title storylines, leaving many superstars without clear paths or defining moments. While the Elimination Chamber event did introduce potential new feuds like Logan Paul vs. Randy Orton and escalated the rivalry between LA Knight and AJ Styles, it also left notable talents like Bianca Belair in limbo in terms of WrestleMania plans.
However, WWE still has a window of four weeks to set the stage for all its superstars ahead of the two-night extravaganza. Here are five urgent questions that need answers before WrestleMania 40.
1. What Lies Ahead for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship?
It’s time to address the perpetual issue surrounding the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship and its lack of meaningful storylines or rivalries. Despite being in existence for five years now, the titles have failed to reach the level of significance that was intended when Bayley and Sasha Banks first won them at Elimination Chamber in 2019.
The current champions, The Kabuki Warriors, have a strong bond as a team, but they seem to be directionless in terms of competition or storylines. While their involvement with Damage CTRL has been entertaining, there are no clear contenders or feuds on the horizon.
Last year, the women’s tag titles were conspicuously absent from the WrestleMania card for the first time in four years. Hopefully, WWE has a plan in store for these titles this time around.
2. What Will Be Jade Cargill’s Journey to Her Inaugural WrestleMania Appearance?
Jade Cargill made waves when she joined WWE in September after leaving AEW, becoming one of the promotion’s most talked-about signings. However, it has been five months since her arrival, and her path to WrestleMania has yet to take shape.
The inaugural TBS champion made her in-ring debut in the women’s Royal Rumble match with a strong performance but has been relatively quiet since then. Despite the initial buzz surrounding her signing, WWE has been cautious in pushing her to the forefront with limited in-ring appearances and interactions.
It remains unclear why WWE has opted for a slow build with Cargill after the hype surrounding her signing last year.
These pressing questions underscore the need for WWE to address various uncertainties and build compelling storylines leading up to WrestleMania 40.
