The road to WrestleMania 37 is only a short time away, and while this is usually a huge boom period for the WWE it is also a time when they are at the highest risk of losing their audience. Between trying to keep fans invested in storylines and creating the right payoffs, the company has their work cut out for them.

Now, WWE has done a decent job of setting the stage for the upcoming Royal Rumble pay per view, which serves as the start of the season, but there is still a lot they need to do. Furthermore, there are a lot of the things the company needs to avoid doing in order to ensure an amazing build to WrestleMania 37.

With that being said, and the most wonderful time of the year among us, here are 5 things WWE should avoid on the road to WrestleMania 37. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below.


#5. WWE not establishing new talent at WrestleMania 37

WrestleMania season is a time to establish new talent in WWE, and the company should absolutely not waste their golden opportunity. Not only will it leave them in a much better place heading into the summer, it will also make for a memorable road to WrestleMania now. It might even result in the cementing of several young names as future stars.

Of course, some fans will want to see Superstars like Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch and The Fiend at the top of the card, but this time should be a chance to make new names. Think back to last year, when Drew McIntyre won the Royal Rumble, and went on to defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36. He's been on a roll ever since.

This was the start of something special for McIntyre, and it changed his career in so many ways. He is destined to be a future great. Now, WWE needs to do that again at WrestleMania 37 with another unproven or underappreciated talent.

#4. WWE having a heel win the Royal Rumble and headline WrestleMania 37

There are few things that kill the mood quite like WWE having a heel win the Royal Rumble, and having them go on to headline WrestleMania. It is a mistake the company can't afford to make.

Not only is this evident by fans hopefully starting to return for WrestleMania season, but also for the simple reason the company needs to maintain its current run of success.

The Royal Rumble pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the road to WrestleMania 37, and WWE runs the risk of running fans away from the product, should a heel emerge victorious. That doesn't mean WWE has to give the fans exactly what they want, but they need to avoid doing things that could be deemed too unpopular.

A heel winning the Royal Rumble would probably be a worst case scenario for the company, and hurt a lot of the momentum they are building. That's not something WWE is going to want to deal with during their most important time of the year, which is why they need to be extra careful about who goes on to headline WrestleMania 37.

#3. Not putting Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 37

There's no reason why WWE shouldn't put Roman Reigns in the main event this year.

This might actually be the one time WWE could get away with putting Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 37. There is no one as polarizing as him, and the company is absolutely going to want to capitalize on his heel character in some way.

Roman Reigns is the top dog, the Tribal Chief, the Universal Champion of WWE. The main event of WrestleMania is the only place a Roman Reigns match could take place on that card. Again, they have done it before several times, but Reigns is a heel this time, which is a huge change to the story this time around.

Getting Reigns into the main event spot of WrestleMania 37 will work in WWE's favor. It might even end up whipping the fans into an absolute frenzy, depending on how the company wants to play the story. This is why why WWE might not be able to put anyone else in the spot that Reigns seems to rightfully deserve.

#2. Bringing back The Undertaker at WrestleMania 37

WWE just doesn't need the Undertaker at this point.

The Undertaker's historic WWE career came to an end at Survivor Series last year, but one has to wonder if the company will keep their word on the Phenom being done. Furthermore, we must question if it's possible they plan to trot out the Deadman for a special appearance at WrestleMania 37.

This doesn't mean The Undertaker can't return in some capacity to cut a promo, or even recount his WrestleMania legacy, but to use him in a physical capacity would be blasphemous. WWE probably couldn't even get away with it in the cinematic universe, which is why they need to restrain themselves.

WrestleMania 37 will serve as a test to see how committed WWE is to preserving the legacy of the Undertaker. It might not feel like WrestleMania season at first without Taker, but this gives the company a chance to finally establish new Superstars. Again, it will feel different for a variety of reasons, but it is a necessary step for creating change in WWE.

#1. WWE not putting The Fiend in the title picture at WrestleMania 37

Hopefully WWE has something great planned for The Fiend this year.

It's no secret that many WWE fans want The Fiend in the title picture at WrestleMania 37, but he doesn't seem to have a clear path at the moment, after being written off television. Furthermore, even if he wins the men's Royal Rumble, he still might not end up having the WrestleMania moment he deserves.

This doesn't mean WWE can't make him a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble, and have him win that way, but what are his chances of beating Reigns at WrestleMania 37? The Fiend winning the Royal Rumble outright is too predictable of an answer, meaning WWE needs to give The Fiend another way into the the title picture.

Whether that is winning a number one contenders match, or playing mind games to finally secure his title shot, the company needs to find a way to make it happen. WWE would still have to make the impossible decision of choosing between The Fiend and Roman Reigns, but at least it would be an interesting main event spot.
