#1 WWE could make up for last year
Did I mention last year’s WrestleMania main event was a disaster? Because it was.
For whatever reason, WWE stubbornly pushed the idea that Roman Reigns was the babyface trying to conquer the dastardly Triple H, when in reality nobody wanted to see Reigns standing tall at the end of the night.
Alas, that’s exactly what he did. Fireworks went off as boos filled the arena, marking what may have been the least interesting main event and most disappointing result in WWE history. This year, they have to get it right.
Does Reigns have to be in this year’s main event in order to compensate for last year? Nope, he does not. There are a lot of ways to make sure this year’s WrestleMania main event is a good one, and they don’t all involve Reigns.
But there would be something symbolic about Reigns being involved in a main event that fans were actually interested in just one year after the dumpster fire that was WrestleMania 32.
Seeing Reigns face off against someone like Balor, Strowman, Jericho, or someone else and ultimately lose would be so satisfying for the fans. It would be WWE saying “We know we messed up, here’s how we’re making up for it.”
And make no mistake, I’m no Reigns hater. He’s a spectacular performer. He was just extremely overexposed and was playing the wrong role this time last year.
He’s more than capable of putting on an entertaining WrestleMania main event if it’s booked correctly, and WWE should prove this by giving him the Universal title and allowing him to close out this year’s WrestleMania on a high note for the fans.
