WrestleMania 34 started off brilliantly, and it was so close to being an all-time great event. Show-stealing performances from Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey were coupled with in-ring returns for The Undertaker and Daniel Bryan. But the final hour of the event let the fans down in a big way.

The much-anticipated showdown between AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura went on for too long in front of a tired crowd. The fans woke up for the main event between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, but they simply chanted insulting things and completely derailed the match.

Lesnar winning might have been the right result at WrestleMania 34, simply because the fans were all expecting Reigns to win the Universal Championship. But between the two world title matches, WWE made a decision that will go down in history for the wrong reasons.

The company booked a 10-year-old boy named Nicholas to become a Tag Team Champion.

The Bar defended the RAW Tag Team Titles against Braun Strowman and a mystery partner - the aforementioned 10-year-old boy. Aside from the novelty of this match, putting a serious title on a child at WrestleMania was a huge mistake. This moment instantly devalued the RAW Tag Team Championship.

This outcome was also a major disappointment, as WWE had previously hyped up a big reveal for 'Mania. Strowman, who was red-hot at the time, should have been put in a much more prominent spot at the event. He could have been involved in the match with Lesnar and Reigns.

Instead, Strowman was paired with a novelty act, so WrestleMania 34 suffered as a whole.
