5 Things WWE must avoid at WrestleMania 35

We're in a new year, and whilst people may have given up on their New Year resolutions, one thing remains constant: WrestleMania is around the corner.

Now just 80 days away, this year's Mania is shaping up to be a huge show, with fans speculating about who will be in the main event, and what titles will be on the line.

The 35th show under the name, the Showcase of the Immortals has seen plenty of shocking moments, from Shawn Michaels going the distance in the first-ever Iron Man match, to Daniel Bryan finally getting his moment at WrestleMania 30.

But for all the highs WWE have delivered in the past, fans know they are capable of some baffling ideas just as much.

Here are five WrestleMania plans that the WWE must avoid for this year's Granddaddy of Them All.

#5 Too many matches

WrestleMania 34 had a total 14 matches and lasted over 5 hours long.

I love wrestling, and I presume so do you, since you've clicked on this feature (thanks for that by the way).

But at WrestleMania 34, a total 14 matches took place, which despite being a huge fan of WWE, is too much even for me.

Last year's show lasted a whopping 5hours and 11minutes, and when you factor in watching the pre-show as well, that number jumps to the show lasting over seven hours long.

It's simply too much. I understand that WrestleMania is the biggest show of the year, and they want to have as much happen as possible, but a seven-hour show cannot be sustained by even the most dedicated of fans.

The WWE needs to learn from the exhausted fans who watched this year's Royal Rumble, and recognise that yes, there can be too much of a good thing.

#4 Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz

Miz and Bryan have feuded on and off for years.

Seeing the horrific antics of Daniel Bryan in 2019, it seems baffling that this is the same man the WWE Universe loved just a matter of months ago.

Turning heel in November last year, Bryan, who returned to the ring at WrestleMania 34, has been a tour-de-force as a bad guy, recently enlisting the help of Rowan.

With the WWE Championship firmly in his possession, it remains unclear who Bryan will face at WrestleMania 35, though one reported opponent is The Miz.

Recently turning face (kinda) alongside Shane McMahon, the A-Lister and Bryan certainly have history, though I'm not sure if the fans are ready for such a match.

Despite his face turn, Miz continues to be his cocky self, and I'm not sure the fans are ready to cheer Miz and boo Bryan in the same match.

#3 Too many part-timers

Lesnar has main evented multiple WrestleManias, despite being a part-time WWE Superstar.

Even if you haven't watched WWE for years, there is still something special about WrestleMania.

The granddaddy of them all, the Show of Shows has often brought back older fans, at least for that night, who want a sense of nostalgia.

This nostalgia often comes in the form of part-time wrestlers, something that the company has become over-reliant on in recent years.

In recent years, the WWE Universe have seen Triple H, Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, The Undertaker and Kurt Angle all take a leading role at the show, often in the main-event scene, and often at the expense of full-time Superstars.

With Lynch-Rousey rumored to be going on last at WrestleMania, over Lesnar taking on Seth Rollins, hopefully the company will break their trend of having a part-timer close out the show.

#2 Braun Strowman in the Universal Title match

Despite multiple shots at the title, Strowman has failed to capture the Universal Championship.

For years, the WWE has pushed Braun Strowman as one of their top stars, much to the delight of the fans.

But as Strowman's push has continued on and on, with the Monster Among Men failing to capture the Universal title in five separate pay-per-view matches, it's clear that many fans are turning against Strowman, in a similar fashion to Roman Reigns.

Whilst the Universal Championship is already in place between Champion Brock Lesnar and challenger Seth Rollins, the WWE love to throw a curve ball into these matches, and adding Strowman is something the company could possibly do.

With that said, backstage heat has reportedly held Strowman back in the past, so the idea of adding the Monster Among Men still seems unlikely, though not impossible.

#1 Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker (part 3)

Michaels and the Deadman had two of the greatest WrestleMania matches.

At WrestleMania 25, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker had one of the greatest matches of all time.

An epic story between two legends, the match was arguably out-done by their rematch the next year, which saw The Deadman end the career of HBK in a fitting send-off for arguably the greatest WWE Superstar of all time.

Returning to action last year at Crown Jewel, it was great to see Michaels back in the ring, though it was painfully clear that time has taken its toll on the Showstopper.

Could a third Wrestlemania match between Michaels and the Phenom be good? Possibly. But there's seemingly no chance in hell it could come close to matching the impact left by their first two matches, and would lead a sour taste with the fans after the bell.
