Wrestlemania XXXIII

Just because this kind of stuff does it for me every year...

Currently announced competitors participating in their first WrestleMania match:

  • Apollo Crews
  • Mojo Rawley
  • Karl Anderson
  • Enzo Amore 
  • Big Cass
  • Neville*
  • Austin Aries
  • Alexa Bliss**
  • Carmella 
  • Bayley
  • Nia Jax

*- Neville was originally pencilled in to participate in last year's ladder match. He was replaced by eventual winner Zack Ryder. Neville is doubtlessly looking to make up for lost time this year and has the chance to do so in the highest-profile cruiserweight match WWE can book at the moment: Neville vs Aries.

**- This year will mark Bliss' first WrestleMania match, but she was one of Triple H's Golden Girls three years ago in New Orleans.

This list will become longer when the battle royal fills out and American Alpha are officially announced for a tag title match. 

Others notes:

  • Kevin Owens' only WrestleMania match was last year's ladder match. His featured match against Chris Jericho at KOMania 2 will be his first Mania singles match.
  • Baron Corbin finds himself in a similar position to Owens. Last year, Corbin made his debut with a successful appearance in the Andre Memorial Battle Royal. This year, he has his first WrestleMania singles match against Dean Ambrose.
  • Maryse has participated in multi-Diva clusterfucks at both Mania 25 and 27. Mania 33 marks Maryse's first appearance in one of the featured bouts on the biggest show of the year.
  • Similarly, Nikki Bella has found herself in a couple clusterfuck Divas matches over the years. Her most noteworthy Mania match to date is a tag match at WM31 pitting herself and her sister Brie against the team of Paige and AJ Lee. This year, Nikki participates in one of the evening's featured bouts for the first time.
  • John Cena, Randy Orton, and Seth Rollins all missed out on competing at WrestleMania 32 due to injuries, though Cena would briefly get physical at the end of Rock's never-ending gab-a-thon. Bray Wyatt did not compete at last year's Mania, but also appeared in the aforementioned gab-a-thon. All four men will participate in featured bouts at this year's event. 
  • Luke Gallows has participated in at least two dark match battle royals, one of which he worked as Festus. I expect Mania 33 will mean much more to the one-time Director of Chaos.

Per the Today Show this morning - Al Roker is the guest ring announcer for the Cena/Nikki vs. Miz/Maryse match

He spoiled this about a month-month 1/2 ago on the Today Show. Yes, I watch it, if I haven't already fallen asleep or am up early. Cena was a co-host and when they were talking about Cena just winning the belt, Roker said something like, "Yeah, and I'll be seeing you at WrestleMania, I'll do some announcing." Cena pretty much was like "Noooo, no no. I don't think that'll happen." To which Roker said, "No, I'll be there."
