In a matter of days, WWE WrestleMania 34 will be looking to tear the house down inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
WWE WrestleMania 34 has a stellar card from top to bottom featuring some of the biggest storylines and feuds the WWE has had in some time with several matches promising to be outstanding battles.
But with several high-profiled matches at the granddaddy of them all, there are a number of superstars that could use a win at the biggest show of the year. With that being said, let’s take a look at three superstars that need a win the most at WWE WrestleMania 34.
3. Nia Jax
The Raw Women’s Championship will be on the line at WrestleMania 34 when two former allies square off in what has become one of the most personal feuds heading into the show of shows. Alexa Bliss will defend her title against Nia Jax in a match that has been months in the making.
Bliss and Jax had been allies throughout a large part of 2017, but over the past few weeks, Bliss has shown her true colors in the relationship by admitting she was just using Jax and she was never her friend. The Irresistible Force didn’t take too kindly to the news and will be out to win the gold at WrestleMania 34.
And when you break down the current landscape of the Raw women’s division, it appears to be time for Jax to finally get her big break. Basically every high-profiled women’s competitor on Monday nights has had a run with the Raw Women’s Championship over the past few months plus, except Jax.
She has had opportunities to tangle with some of the division’s top stars and has proven she can more than hold her own. But it’s getting to the point where if Jax doesn’t get a chance to win the Raw Women’s Championship, it’s hard to tell if she will ever get a run with the gold. And what better platform for her to get her big break than on the grandest stage of them all?
She could just as easily lose, but The Irresistible Force needs to capture her first Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 34.

2. Roman Reigns
For as unpopular as he is to a wide portion of the WWE universe, Roman Reigns is yet again in a main event-caliber position at WrestleMania. But this year, unlike the past three, might be the most crucial in terms of who needs to emerge victorious.
Reigns will battle Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship, which Lesnar has held since defeating Goldberg at WrestleMania 33. It has been a long, inconsistent, and rarely-appeared title reign for The Beast Incarnate, but can The Big Dog be the guy to end the Lesnar era of the Universal Championship?
This will be a rematch of the WrestleMania 31 battle between the two and if this version ends up at least on the same level as the previous battle, it will be a very good match. Outside of just the caliber of the match itself, the result of the match needs to go in favor of Reigns in the most desperate way possible.
The Universal Championship has been in one of the worst states of any world title in WWE history over the past year. It has been rarely defended and rarely on TV, so putting the belt on The Big Dog just seems right at WrestleMania 34. It will not go over well for much of the WWE universe, but seeing what Reigns can do with the belt compared to what Lesnar has done will be worth it in the long run.
The Big Dog hasn’t been a world champion since mid-2016, so it’s time to crown him once again as the top champion on the red brand.

1. Shinsuke Nakamura
Shinsuke Nakamura is The King Of Strong Style and one of the most popular superstars in the WWE today. But one major accolade has eluded him in his time on the main roster since debuting on the SmackDown after WrestleMania 33.
Nakamura has already developed into one of the best the WWE has to offer, but he has yet to obtain the WWE Championship on the blue brand. He has had limited opportunities at gaining the title in a less than stellar feud with Jinder Mahal in 2017, but hasn’t broken through yet.
But winning the 2018 Royal Rumble guaranteed The King Of Strong Style a world title opportunity at WrestleMania 34, which he wanted to be against AJ Styles for the WWE Championship. And in a matter of days, the dream match will take place between two of the greatest wrestlers in the world. And as great as Styles is, many believe it’s Nakamura’s time to shine.
Simply put, Nakamura needs to win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 34. He needs to finally break through the glass ceiling and capture the richest prize in the game. And at the same time, he needs to prove his feud with Mahal was an aberration and he is a true main event player in the WWE.
Next: Styles vs. Nakamura Must Go On Last At WrestleMania 34
It seems past time, but the WWE can right the wrongs of Nakamura’s buildup by having The King Of Strong Style reach the pinnacle at WrestleMania 34.
