One of the best things about WWE, like any other form of pro wrestling, is the fact that everyone can have a different opinion and still enjoy the product. Sure, maybe that has to do with the product catering to different audiences during different parts of their shows, but it's still nice to see people come together under the umbrella of WWE
With that being said and not everyone enjoying the same things when it comes to WWE or how they book their product, here are five unpopular opinions you might actually agree with.
As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us an unpopular opinion you have of the current product.

#5 Baron Corbin deserves to be champion
Baron Corbin is one of the most controversial Superstars in modern day WWE history and a lot of that has to do with just how good he is at playing the bad guy. It's almost like it was the role he was born to play that role in WWE.
When Roman Reigns was still penciled in for a Universal Title match at WrestleMania 36, whom did WWE put him against to build up The Big Dog? Furthermore, when the company needed a heel manager on Monday Night Raw two years ago, whom did they call on?
If nothing else, Corbin has more than proven himself as a character capable of invoking a reaction, which is why they need to put a title on him. Not only will it send fans into an absolute outrage at the very thought of him holding the company's most prestigious prize, it also will make whoever beats him an even more popular figure with the WWE Universe.
#4 Bobby Lashley-Lana storyline was pretty good
The love triangle storyline that took place between Rusev, Lana and Bobby Lashley was very controversial to the WWE Universe, and it actually ended up doing a lot for the product. Not only is that evident by how it allowed the company to transition to more mature content, but also by how it made fans feel like they were back in the Attitude Era.
While Lana's acting throughout the entire thing was sometimes hard to watch and Lashley couldn't emote to save his life, it was still something fans kept tuning in to watch play out. Of course a lot of that was to see how Rusev would react and what WWE would do with him, but it still got people talking.
At the end of the day, the storyline got people talking and was a great transition into a more mature period of content for WWE. It was also pretty good at setting up cliff hangers for the next episode of Monday Night Raw.
#3 The Undertaker's retirement was a mistake
WWE and The Undertaker might have made a mistake.
Not only is that evident by the way the retirement announcement was revealed to the WWE Universe, but also by how easily it would have been to keep Undertaker alive in the cinematic universe they had created. As if that wasn't disappointing enough, his retirement also closed the door on a plethora of potential dream matches for WWE.
Now, it's not like The Undertaker doesn't deserve to retire after 30 years in the business, but the execution could have been done so much better. What was most disappointing was how the announcement was mentioned in passing as a part of The Last Ride documentary on the WWE Network and not inside the squared circle.
If nothing else, the company should have at least brought Undertaker out the night after WrestleMania 36 and let him announce his retirement live. At least that way, the moment would have resulted in a much more cathartic send off.
#2 Drew McIntyre has been used poorly by WWE
Drew McIntyre fulfilled his destiny in 2020 when he won the Royal Rumble and went on to defeat Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36, but he just hasn't done much with it. While the company has tried everything they could to make McIntyre's run interesting, it seems to keep falling short of the goal.
Of course, a lot of that has to do with McIntyre not really being that fleshed out of a character, but also due to the people he has faced so far. Big Show, Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley didn't really do much to help establish him as the next big thing in WWE.
In the end, McIntyre may be a transitional champion at best and not someone WWE should be devoting large amounts of time to. Now, that doesn't mean he isn't doing well in the spot for now, but one can probably expect him to lose the title quickly after things get back to normal.
#1 WWE should reinvent The Fiend character
It's no secret that The Fiend character is one of WWE's most popular entities at the moment and he is someone the fans seem to deeply care about. Unfortunately for the company, fans seemingly care about the persona so much that they get upset every time they believe he was booked the wrong way.
Of course, this is true of almost any other popular Superstar on WWE's roster, but fans always seem to take it up a notch with The Fiend. In fact, between the mess that was The Fiend losing the Universal Title to Goldberg at Super ShowDown and several of the character's traits being put aside, it's almost not even the same person.
In the end, the original Fiend character was a thing of genius and could have gone on to be the next Undertaker if everything was kept in tact. With that being said however, the character's multiple plot holes, his inability to draw as champion and the way he unintentionally holds the title picture hostage is just not worth it.
