With a few weeks left until WM35, hopefully, we won't see these acts unfold at the PPV

The 35th edition of the biggest event in pro wrestling and sports entertainment, WrestleMania, is less than 2 weeks away and everyone is excited to be on the Road to WrestleMania. The Show of Shows only comes once a year, so WWE will try to give us a classic 'Mania that we will never forget.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

There are several matches on the card that we are looking forward to the most, such as the triple threat Raw Women's Championship match between Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton vs AJ Styles, and although it's not confirmed yet, Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan.

WWE has made several booking mistakes in the past that changed things for the worst so in order to make this year's event one of the greatest in recent memory, WWE must avoid making these 5 mistakes at WrestleMania 35:


#5 Asuka losing the Smackdown Women's Championship

Oh, Asuka...
Oh, Asuka...

When Asuka first arrived on the main roster, she was portrayed as an unbeatable wrestler like in her days with NXT, and she became the winner of the inaugural women's Royal Rumble match. She went on to challenge Charlotte Flair for the Smackdown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 34 in what was a streak vs title match.

Asuka lost the match, her streak and failed to capture the Smackdown Women's Championship. She walked out empty handed in last year's event, and let's hope WWE doesn't repeat the same thing this year. Asuka is currently the Smackdown Women's Champion, and she should stay that way for a while.

Not only does she not have a worthy WrestleMania opponent, but it looks like she's not being bothered about since everyone is more focused and interested in the Raw Women's Championship match; a match set to headline WrestleMania 35. WWE should not make the mistake of making Asuka drop her title at the Show of Shows, which will give her her second loss in a row at WWE's grandest event.

#4 Making Baron Corbin face Kurt Angle in his retirement match

Kurt Angle will wrestle his last match at WM35

Kurt Angle announced on an episode of Monday Night Raw that he would wrestle the last match of his career at WrestleMania 35. This didn't come as a huge shock, because he is already a WWE Hall of Famer and his time to hang up the boots was seen coming. What was a huge shock, however, was when Kurt Angle revealed who his opponent will be!

Baron Corbin, of all people, is scheduled to face The Olympic Gold medalist at The Showcase of the Immortals. If that's not underwhelming for you, I don't know what is. The WWE Universe was expecting Angle's opponent to be a 'high profile' superstar such as the 16-time World Champion John Cena.

According to rumors, WWE is reconsidering Kurt Angle's WrestleMania opponent because they didn't expect this kind of backlash from fans. I don't know what WWE was thinking. The company will be making a huge mistake if they go on with this match because nobody wants it. The best thing they can do is to replace Corbin with John Cena.

#3 Drew McIntyre losing to Roman Reigns

Drew McIntyre is currently one of the biggest heels on WWE's flagship show Monday Night Raw. He has decimated all three members of The Shield countless times and he is on his way to face The Big Dog Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 35. Reigns returned to action earlier than expected after battling leukaemia.

The Big Dog reunited The Shield for the last time ever as the trio defeated the team of Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre at Fastlane. With Reigns being McIntyre's next opponent at the Show of Shows, it's hard to make a decision as to who will lose this match.

The Scottish Psychopath has a pending push in store for him so he should no doubt win the match. Roman Reigns doesn't need the win right now. He already won his comeback match with The Shield at Fastlane, so McIntyre can't afford to lose again.

McIntyre has the potential to be WWE's biggest star, and if WWE feeds him to Roman Reigns, it will do more harm than good to his career.

#2 Brock Lesnar leaving Mania with the Universal Championship

This will be a HUGE mistake
This will be a HUGE mistake

Brock Lesnar, the current WWE Universal Champion is set to defend his jinxed title against the man who won the 2019 men's Royal Rumble match, Seth Rollins. Lesnar has only defended the title once this year, and if WWE makes the mistake of booking him to retain the title once again, then they've gone too far this time and they're giving us another reason to not watch Raw.

The WWE Universe is tired of having part-timers holding a World Title hostage when it should be defended every month on every PPV and be seen every week. Brock Lesnar, despite being a box office attraction, is also despised by fans for being lazy, having a very limited move-set, having no mic skills and not showing up.

This year it's time for Seth Rollins to shine, as he has been carrying Monday Night Raw on his back for a long time. If Lesnar retains the Big Red Belt once more, fans will be frustrated and WWE will regret making that decision.

#1 Making the PPV over 7 hours long

This could be the longest WrestleMania in WWE history
This could be the longest WrestleMania in WWE history

As exciting as WrestleMania is, people can still lose interest in something that goes on and on for a very long time. This year's WrestleMania PPV is rumored to have 17 matches, which will be a WrestleMania record and will possibly be the longest PPV ever. Sitting through 17 matches won't be easy, but it will be tiring.

We could see the PPV past the 7-hour mark, making it the longest PPV ever, which might not be such a good idea. Unless all the matches will be top notch, over 7 hours is too long and too hard to digest. Most of the matches on the lower card and mid-card shouldn't go on for very long.

Let's hope the company manages their time properly or else fans will be turned off, which will not be a good thing.
