4 Major Booking Mistakes WWE Must Avoid At WrestleMania 35

Aaron

Now that we're a little over one week away from WrestleMania 35, we finally have what looks to be a full card. Of course, one would expect there to be another match added, as Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported on Saturday's instalment of Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE and John Cena have agreed on a match for the former sixteen time WWE Champion at the event.

For now, though we only know the matches that have already been announced, so that's all we can go off of.

WWE usually does right by the fans at their biggest show of the year, with a few exceptions. But with the women finally being in the main event, you could argue that this is the most important WrestleMania in recent memory, so the company needs to be on top of their game creatively.

So here are four booking mistakes that Vince McMahon must avoid at his biggest show of the year.


#4 Actually Doing Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin

In a vacuum, this match actually makes some sense, as it'll feature a retiring legend going one on one with someone who will probably be in the company for years to come. The only problem is, the younger of the two competitors isn't someone that the fans want to see Angle face in his final match.

On the aforementioned instalment of Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that he was told by people in the company that, while John Cena has a match scheduled for WrestleMania 35, it won't be against Kurt Angle.

If WWE wants to send Angle out on a positive note, then they should have someone notable do a surprise attack on Corbin before the match, thus clearing the way for that person to replace him in the match.

WWE can't actually go through with this match, because the fans in attendance, and likely the fans watching at home, will probably be very annoyed if they do, and that's not how you should send a legend off into retirement.

#3 Daniel Bryan Beats Kofi Kingston

Most are hoping to see Daniel Bryan lose the WWE Championship to Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 35, and while you shouldn't always give the fans exactly what they want every single time, they should do it in this case.

It'd be great to see Kofi Kingston have his moment at WWE's biggest show of the year, and if the company doesn't believe in him as a long term Champion, then they can take it off of him at the next pay per view.

Aside from the show's main event, this could end up being the hottest match on the card, and the only reason why it has any heat at all is because the people want to see Kofi win the title. If he doesn't, WWE is risking having the fans lose interest in the rest of the show, which is something that they definitely don't need, especially when you consider the fact that it's going to feature a women's main event for the first time ever.

#2 Brock Lesnar Beats Seth Rollins

Aside from Kevin Owens' run as Universal Champion, we haven't seen a full-timer get an extended run with Raw's main title. We probably would've seen it had Roman Reigns not been forced to relinquish the red brand's main belt due to his Leukemia diagnosis.

It's quite clear that people are sick of Brock Lesnar being the Universal Champion simply because he's never around to defend the title. As you'll remember at last year's show, Lesnar defeated Roman Reigns when everyone thought that the opposite was going to happen, and they could very well do the same thing this year.

If Seth Rollins does go over in his match against Lesnar, then he could potentially end up being the biggest babyface in the entire company, and WWE definitely needs a few more top-level heroes. But, if Rollins doesn't pick up the win, then any momentum he may have had going into the match will be killed on the spot.

#1 Anything Other Than Becky Lynch Winning The Raw Women's Title

It's pretty clear what WWE needs to do in the show's main event, which is have Becky Lynch win the Raw Women's Championship, and it doesn't really matter who she pins or submits to win the match, although most would prefer it to be Ronda Rousey.

Since this is the first time the women have main evented WrestleMania, you want to make sure it's a positive experience for everyone involved, as the fans probably won't want to see another women's main event if they come away from this match with a negative attitude.

The only way to please the fans, and ensure that the first ever all-female WrestleMania main event isn't looked at as a complete disaster is to have Becky Lynch walk out of the event with the Raw Women's Title. You can even make the argument that Charlotte Flair's newly won SmackDown Women's Championship should also be on the line, so that "The Man" can end WWE's biggest show with both brand's main titles.
