5 things that were missing from Wrestlemania 34

#4 Backstage Segments

Jeremy Piven and Ken Jeong appeared as hosts of "Monday Night Raw"

On WWE weekly television programs -- namely Monday Night Raw, Smackdown and NXT -- a considerable amount of the action takes place backstage. Sometimes this entails the General Manager planning matches after being confronted by wrestlers. Sometimes this has to do with unplanned brawls and attacks. Sometimes this is related to wrestlers making their trip from the backstage area to the ring. Whatever it is, it adds variety, as otherwise all of the action takes place in and around the wrestling ring.

This year's Wrestlemania did not have any notable skits or backstage segments. Storylines and all, nothing seemed -- keyword being "seemed" -- impromptu or planned. Both the General Managers of Raw and Smackdown were involved with major matches during Wrestlemania 34, yet neither of them were involved with any backstage action.

I am not saying that we need to see Heath Slater being decked by Flo Rida, which actually happened at Wrestlemania 28, but Andre The Giant choking baseball announcer Bob Uecker during a pre-taped Wrestlemania segment does generally wind up in WWE highlight reels.
