WrestleMania 35: 5 surprising decisions WWE could make on the road to WrestleMania

The road to WrestleMania 35 has been a mixed pot of all things entertaining with some less than stellar moments that have dampened the hype for the biggest wrestling show on the planet.

But that hasn't interfered with fans' excitement for the showcase of the immortals, as there is something so special about WrestleMania which doesn't allow you to write the show-off, and while most of you might have some grievances with the narratives on display, things might just get better.

WWE has proven in the past that they can rescue failing storylines at the very last second, and on this road to WrestleMania, there are many narratives in need of saving.

So how could we expect WWE to rewrite their wrongs? Well, the only way the creative team knows how to save a narrative or even further destroy one is to implement some truly shocking decisions.

In this article, we will look at all possible surprising decisions WWE can make in these last few weeks leading up the big show.

#1 John Cena replaces Baron Corbin

Many fans were angered when they found out that Kurt Angle's last opponent would be Baron Corbin, and this was not something unnecessary the WWE Universe was getting frustrated over, as Baron Corbin has not reached a level in his career where he can be the man that retires a legend like Angle.

While it is understandable that wrestling fans and critics were livid, most didn't expect a response from one individual, John Cena. The leader of Cenation expressed his anger online by basically calling Baron Corbin a "dumpster fire", which raised speculation on whether we will actually be getting Corbin vs Angle at WrestleMania.

This entire inclusion of Baron Corbin in Kurt Angle's retirement feels like one big swerve, as it just feels like Cena will replace Corbin in this match. Cena being Angle's last opponent makes a lot of sense, as Cena's first opponent in the WWE was none other than Kurt Angle, and this is just the perfect way to wrap up a legendary career.

#2 Another twist in the tale

Another swerve in this narrative would ruin it

The narrative between Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair started off as one of the best storylines WWE has produced in the last decade, as everything from the setup to the execution was pitch perfect, but along the way WWE lost the plot as they made the one mistake that they should not have committed in this programme.

And that was the mistake of overbooking, the main issue with overbooking is the fact that it complicates a perfect story, as WWE put too many twists, shocking moments, and unforeseeable outcomes in this narrative which made it feel ultimately bloated beyond repair.

With a few weeks left until WrestleMania, the WWE Universe doesn't expect any more surprises in this narrative, but with the inclusion of Ronda Rousey's husband in this programme, it feels like things are going to get more unnecessarily complicated, and that is something fans would not expect.

#3 No farewell for Dean

Arguably the most shocking WWE moment of 2019 so far was reading the article on wwe.com that confirmed Dean Ambrose would not renew his contract with the company after WrestleMania 35.

And rumors were circulating for weeks that Dean could be leaving the company in April, many chose to ignore the speculation, as this was something so unexpected, most fans thought it would never happen.

But here we are with just a few weeks away with Ambrose exiting the company, and speculation has risen once again that this time Ambrose might not leave the WWE, as many have predicted that WWE will persuade him to sign a new contract.

Whichever side of the rumor mill you choose to believe, it will be a total surprise if Ambrose does not get a farewell match at WrestleMania if he decides to leave the company, and while Ambrose is not that big of a star to warrant a farewell match, his presence at WrestleMania will benefit WWE immensely.

Ambrose possibly going out without even a squeak is something wrestling fans would not expect.

#4 A loss on the way

Angle could be beaten before his last match

In an earlier point, we discussed the possibility of John Cena replacing Baron Corbin in Kurt Angle's last match, as Cena is the better choice to retire Kurt Angle at WrestleMania. But now there is another situation to consider, and that is Kurt Angle possibly losing on his retirement tour to WrestleMania.

While this is something that most would not even bother thinking about, as WWE has made it quite clear in the last few weeks that Angle will steamroll his way to WrestleMania until he meets his final opponent, but they could throw us a curveball and have Angle fall on his way to his retirement.

This will be a huge surprise as many expect Kurt Angle's retirement tour to be a straight forward affair, but with Baron Corbin seething after Angle cost him his match with Apollo Crews, we could see Corbin get his revenge in the coming weeks.

#5 Kofi replaced

Kofi Kingston's wild ride to WrestleMania has not ended yet, and that is due to the fact that the chairman of the company is doing everything in his power to deny his loyal employee the chance to realize his dream, but we all know that Kingston will eventually get to WrestleMania, as that is the entire point of this narrative.

But one thing which is truly captivating about this feud is the surprise of not knowing what Vince McMahon will do next, from pitting Kofi against SmackDown's very best for no particular reason to denying the New Day member his earned right to go to WrestleMania, McMahon has been a great antagonist in this feud.

So what will McMahon do next? It could be a variety of things, but many fans' best bet is on McMahon replacing Kofi in the WWE Title match at WrestleMania, as this could be the perfect way to hold the WWE Universe's suspense until the event.

It would be amazing to see McMahon replace Kingston with one of his New Day brothers, and imagine the look on Kofi's face when he realizes that a man that stood beside him will now take his place.
