5 Storylines We Want To See Continued After WrestleMania (& 5 We Want Finished)

As WrestleMania 36 is done and dusted, it opens up the possibility for several new storylines, marking a new beginning and rise of new stars. Although the Show of Shows didn't have any crowd, the company still provided a great event. With two separate nights, the show had some awe-inspiring matches on each day.

Both brands have a couple of new champions now. On the other hand, some big names are likely to stay away from the ring for a while. It should be a perfect time to push some talented men and women of the roster. Without further ado, let's talk about five storylines we want to see after WrestleMania and five we don't.

10 Want To Continue: Otis & Dolph Ziggler

Otis and Dolph Ziggler went to war over Mandy Rose at WrestleMania. The storyline has become one of the favorite attractions for the fans on SmackDown and hence, it should continue. While Mandy Rose is an essential part of this feud, Rose's former best friend, Sonya Deville, is also playing a key role.

Otis was successful in getting revenge on Dolph Ziggler at the Show of Shows, beating the latter with the help of Rose. Besides Otis, Rose and Deville might have an intense feud after WrestleMania.

9 Want To Be Finished: Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens

Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens locked horns at WrestleMania 36, where the latter picked up a victory. Continuing the feud for months, the two men finally got the opportunity of facing each other in a singles match, and they produced one of the best matches of the show.

With Seth Rollins challenging Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank, it looks like the feud between Owens and Rollins is over. Given their lengthy feud, the fans certainly want it to be finished.

8 Want To Continue: Sami Zayn & Daniel Bryan

Sami Zayn, the Intercontinental Champion, had his first proper title defense at the Grandest Stage of Them All, facing Daniel Bryan in a singles match. Two incredibly talented men were bound to give a stellar performance, and this was what happened.

At 'Mania, Sami Zayn retained the title by pinning Bryan. As they have competed in just one bout, they certainly deserve to continue the feud. If a rematch takes place in the future, they could exceed the expectations of the fans again.

7 Want To Be Finished: Bobby Lashley & Aleister Black

Aleister Black had a singles match at WrestleMania 36, and it was against none other than "The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley. Surprising everyone, the company booked the bout at the very last minute, possibly to make the match card bigger.

As a matter of fact, the match didn't have any build-up, which didn't make it interesting. Getting a random match without any storyline isn't a bright idea, and they should not renew this feud.

6 Want To Continue: Charlotte Flair & Rhea Ripley

One of the biggest matches from WrestleMania was between Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley, with the NXT Women's Championship on the line. While Rhea faced her greatest rival to date, Charlotte was eager to win the coveted belt from the black and yellow brand a second time.

The Queen continued her impressive run at the Showcase of Immortals, stopping an indomitable force like Rhea Ripley. Whenever Rhea makes her return to the ring, this feud must continue and she deserves a rematch.

5 Want To Be Finished: Braun Strowman & Goldberg

Goldberg was the man to stop The Fiend, winning the Universal Championship. However, Braun Strowman became the man to decimate the WCW legend, when The Monster Among Men won the most prestigious prize of SmackDown at the Show of Shows.

Strowman already has his next opponent in The Fiend. Considering WWE has a habit of bringing back the big names, Goldberg, a part-timer, shouldn't demand a rematch against Strowman if the former returns in the next few months.

4 Want To Continue: Becky Lynch & Shayna Baszler

The RAW Women's Championship match between Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler was certainly one of the most anticipated matches of WrestleMania 36, where the two women went on a huge battle. Overcoming a brutal force like Baszler, The Man kept the title around her waist.

Although Baszler has lost the match fair and square, she deserves another title shot, considering the exceptional build-up of the bout. Moreover, Baszler looks like the only credible option to dethrone Lynch at the moment.

3 Want To Be Finished: Drew McIntyre & Brock Lesnar

Winning the Royal Rumble match this year, Drew McIntyre chose to go for Brock Lesnar, who was the WWE Champion. The Scottish Psychopath slew The Beast at the main event of WrestleMania this year, creating history and winning his maiden WWE Championship.

Last year, a similar thing happened with Rollins and Lesnar. Even though Rollins found a new challenger after WrestleMania 35, he eventually dropped the belt to Lesnar. The same thing should not happen this year, and he must retain from challenging McIntyre.

2 Want To Continue: Edge & Randy Orton

The match between Randy Orton and Edge was the lengthiest bout of WrestleMania this year, making it one of the matches to steal the show. With the stipulation of Last Man Standing match, the two legends showed their experience as well as the talent of delivering a top-notch WrestleMania-worthy match.

Even though the feud began after Royal Rumble, it wasn't their first encounter, as Edge is currently a part-timer. Whenever Edge makes his return to the ring, the astounding rivalry must continue and another bout should be equally good as their previous one.

1 Want To Be Finished: AJ Styles & The Undertaker

The Undertaker and AJ Styles took WrestleMania to new heights this year when they wrestled in a Boneyard match. With cinematic appeal and action, the match lived up to the hype and it was considered the best match of WrestleMania by a myriad of fans.

Despite such an incredible match, Styles and Undertaker shouldn't renew this feud. If Styles loses once again to The Phenom in the future, it could be detrimental for his character.
