WWE's biggest and the grandest pay-per-view of the year, WrestleMania 35 is in the rearview mirror. Of all the hype surrounding the epic event, it lived up to the expectations of the fans for the most part. Given the positive reviews of both WWE fans and critics alike, the show proved to be a huge success.
Well, while the match card consisted of a total of 16 matches including the kickoff show, the match between Kofi Kingston and Daniel Bryan was clearly the highlight of the show. It was not only the spellbinding performances of both the superstars that made this match great but the intensity and emotions involved were truly unparalleled. And no wonder the crowd popped once Kofi pinned Bryan to win the Championship.
However, it was not all smooth sailing for WWE as they did manage to miss a few tricks and ended of goofing up a bit. On top of that, the main event also turned out to be a damp squib courtesy of a botched ending.
So, without further ado, let's take a look at 3 things which should not have happened at WrestleMania 35.
#3 Shane McMahon defeating The Miz
The Miz took on Shane McMahon in a falls count anywhere matchup last night at WrestleMania 35. However, after dominating the match, for the most part, The Miz lost to Shane McMahon in a bizarre fashion.
The Miz nailed a devastating Supersuplex on Shane from a high platform only for Shane to land on top of him which resulted in referee counting the pin and awarding the victory to the former SmackDown Commissioner.
Well, The Miz was red hot as well as crazily over among fans in his recent stint as a babyface. As a matter of fact, his recent promo was highly appreciated by the WWE Universe. He had the momentum as well as crowd's sympathy after Shane attacked his father, thus, WWE should have cleverly used his momentum to hand him a major win at Shane and then launch him in the title picture against Samoa Joe.
Instead, WWE chose to have him lose to McMahon at the Grandest stage of them all. This may end up undermining him and I am afraid the feud might get underwhelming in the coming days.
#2 The Revival losing to Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder
So, after 269 losses, Curt Hawkins finally broke his losing streak and in what fashion dear readers, winning the Raw tag team gold with Zack Ryder at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
When WWE booked The Revival vs Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder for Raw Tag team gold, who would have thought that something like this could transpire. But, I am afraid, it is true.
Well, the duo of Hawkins and Ryder did not have any momentum behind their backs, as a matter of fact, they hardly featured on the televised shows/events, yet Creative chose to crown them as the new tag team champs.
While as amusing as it may sound, I am afraid, this is not that duo around whom you want to develop your Raw tag team roster. And I would not be surprised if WWE crowns Ricochet and Black as the new champs tonight on Raw.
Also, one's got to feel for The Revival as they were phenomenal on the NXT roster, however, WWE did end up undermining them a bit on the main roster. And a major loss at 'Mania might prove to be the final nail in the coffin.
#1 The underwhelming main event
Well, of all the hype and excitement surrounding the main event of WrestleMania 35, it turned out to be a bummer.
Even though it had its moments, it was not what WWE fans were hoping for. Balme in on poor execution or pressure or referee but the ending of the match did turn out to be disappointing.
While Becky Lynch did manage to become the new Raw as well as SmackDown Women's Champion, it was not that convincing courtesy of a botched ending. Furthermore, the 5-hour long show stacked with 16 high profile matches churned out the energy from the crowd and it was clearly evident as the main event failed to rally the crowd on most of the occasions.
All in all, the 82,000 live audiences plus, the millions sitting at home investing their time and energy, watching, deserved a better ending of what otherwise was an amazing show.
